[Bulldog1]

Sticking with the same lineup from last week! Great job!!!

[confucius say]

Scratch early

[Bulldog1]

We're the home team.

[confucius say]

Didnt realize we were home team

[msstate7]

2 errors by Kaiser is damn impressive bc that kid gets to almost everything. He is fun to watch at SS

[Percho]

espn news

[RocketDawg]

If this is a sellout, everybody who bought tickets didn't come to the game.

[preachermatt83]

I may have to mute it. The whistling is insufferable

[Bulldog1]

My tv is about to go on mute. Someone choke that whistler.

[preachermatt83]

Good job small

[RocketDawg]

I may have to mute it. The whistling is insufferable

How long can he keep that up?

[starkvegasdawg]

Sounds like a mangy dog getting kicked in the ribs.

[preachermatt83]

My tv is about to go on mute. Someone choke that whistler.

I would not be able to stand it in person.

[Bulldog1]

Leadoff double for Vandy, but can't score him. Mid 1, 0-0.

[KOdawg1]

Is the whistling less noticeable on the radio? I may sync the radio with the tv and listen to Jim

[BulldogBear]

Whistler is even more annoying on tv.

[ShotgunDawg]

Really like the way the ball is coming out of Small's hand tonight.

Additionally, his slider is tunneling with his fastball & creating a situation where the hitter can't tell the difference

[KOdawg1]

Rowdey was so close to a double there

[ShotgunDawg]

Fellows is good but we are taking better swings off him than Vandy is taking off Small

[msstate7]

Keep hitting to LF. That guy looks shaky out there

[KOdawg1]

Fellows is good but we are taking better swings off him than Vandy is taking off Small

Yep. Keep at it, and eventually, they'll start falling

[ShotgunDawg]

I'd like to thank Corbin for loading up Vandy's lineup with lefties tonight. Sheesh

[starkvegasdawg]

Thought that one was gone.

[msstate7]

Mac makes the plays, but damn, he looks lost out there

[preachermatt83]

How long can he keep that up?

Obviously indefinitely. I don't even think Vandy fans like it.

[ShotgunDawg]

Small needs to get to the front of the baseball better with his CB & throw it a hair harder

[msstate7]

Fellows is good but we are taking better swings off him than Vandy is taking off Small

They're roping small now

[ShotgunDawg]

They're roping small now

Small has to start getting his CB over or they'll just sit dead red

[Saltydog]

NT

[msstate7]

Then small eats up infante haha

[Mjoelner34]

They either turned a mic off, somebody from ESPN told him to stfu or (hopefully this one) somebody throat-punched the whistling sob. I don't hear him any more.

[ShotgunDawg]

Infante is terrible

[confucius say]

Obviously indefinitely. I don't even think Vandy fans like it.

I would just sit behind him and yell right in his ear the whole time. Swear.

[msstate7]

86-87... really want more of an emphasis on velocity for our pitchers

[Mjoelner34]

They must've gone the mic route. I hear him again but sounds like he is waaaaaay off so its barely noticeable now.

[ShotgunDawg]

86-87... really want more of an emphasis on velocity for our pitchers

Yeah, it's a real problem.

Hendo is very old school in the sense that he stresses pitchability & feel over velocity & maximizing the physical ability of the player.

What Hendo does isn't necessarily bad, it's just impossible to recruit too. I mean, what player thinks that style will help them get drafted higher?

It's a terrible trend that we have two lefties that threw 95 as freshmen & now throw 88. That's 100% on the pitching coach, &, while Hendo has done a wonderful job managing the team this year, It's why I'm baffled that anyone wants to give him the head job.

[msstate7]

Atta boy, small

[preachermatt83]

Small bringing it. Throwing a lot of pitches but he's bringing the stuff.

[KOdawg1]

Need him to come out and have like a 7 pitch inning if we want him to go deep in this thing

[Cooterpoot]

20 pitches per inning a guarantee for us

[ShotgunDawg]

Fellows is really hitting spots right now

[ShotgunDawg]

Fellows looks like a slightly poor man's Matt Carpenter tonight

[preachermatt83]

Fellows is an arrogant jerk ain't he.

[ShotgunDawg]

Skelton can't see Fellow's CB

[ShotgunDawg]

Fellows is an arrogant jerk ain't he.

Yeah, usually a good quality for top pitchers

[preachermatt83]

Absolutely atrocious ab by Skelton. The guy is getting squeezed by the umpire and Skelton hacking at every thing. It worked out but it shouldn't have.

[IMissJack]

It's nice that the MSU crowd has now taken over for the whistler, can't hear him at all now.

[ShotgunDawg]

Boom. Great job by Skelton to put the ball in play

[msstate7]

Thank God Paul got that instead of Kaiser

[ShotgunDawg]

Absolutely atrocious ab by Skelton. The guy is getting squeezed by the umpire and Skelton hacking at every thing. It worked out but it shouldn't have.

We stole one there.

Fellows' CB is disguisting. He'll go in the middle to back half of the 1st round next year

[IMissJack]

Fellows may be the biggest whiner I have seen on the mound in a while, like since HS.

[skadoosh14]

God I love this team

[KOdawg1]

caught a break there. we'll gladly take it

[ShotgunDawg]

I'm normally not a huge fan of this, but we may benefit from creeping up in the box a hair to combat Fellows' CB.

Make him beat us inside

[confucius say]

Fellows looks like a slightly poor man's Matt Carpenter tonight

Easy.

[msstate7]

I'm usually pretty mad at a college ump by now. Home ump is doing a good job

[KOdawg1]

Good AB by Westburg. Making him throw a lot of pitches

[preachermatt83]

Yeah, usually a good quality for top pitchers

True lol

[ShotgunDawg]

Easy.

Similar style, body type, & delivery. Just a hair less stuff.

Fellows is a 1st rounder next year

[confucius say]

Great job by Skelton of just getting it in play. He was clearly overmatched

[Bdawg]

Good inning. That's what we wanted. Jump on them early.

[IMissJack]

I'm usually pretty mad at a college ump by now. Home ump is doing a good job

It looks like he has a tight strike zone, but has been consistent. Fellows did not help himself with the ump, that's for sure.

[preachermatt83]

We stole one there.

Fellows' CB is disguisting. He'll go in the middle to back half of the 1st round next year

Seems like his breaking ball is really hard to pick up.

[preachermatt83]

It looks like he has a tight strike zone, but has been consistent. Fellows did not help himself with the ump, that's for sure.

Agreed!

[Bulldog1]

Come on Skelton.

[Cooterpoot]

Skelton is the worst defensive catcher I?ve ever seen

[Bdawg]

I'm usually pretty mad at a college ump by now. Home ump is doing a good job

I agree. Each ball just off the plate has been called a ball. I like it

[KOdawg1]

That's the third time in a week that Skelton hasn't caught a pop up in foul territory. Could've been 1 pitch, 1 out

[Cooterpoot]

We desperately need to recruit a stud catcher.

[preachermatt83]

Anytime a ball is up somebody needs to ball Skelton off. He cannot catch a pop up

[msstate7]

Skelton is the worst defensive catcher I?ve ever seen

Just pretty much another miss state catcher. We are terrible at developing or evaluating catchers

[Bulldog1]

Great play by our SS.

[MarketingBully]

Alexander....

[preachermatt83]

Beltmont can't get gone fast enough for me.

[ShotgunDawg]

Seems like his breaking ball is really hard to pick up.

It is.

It comes out flat out of the hand, which make is look like his fastball. The sacrifice he makes with a flat out of hand curveball is that it's difficult to throw for a strike, due to simple geometry.

The other type of curveball is the bigger one with a hump out of the hand, like Kershaw's. Those are easier for the hitter to pick up but are easier to throw for strikes.

[msstate7]

Dammit! WTF, defense

[magrooder]

A miss like that usually comes back and bites our butt. Alexander promptly makes an error.

[Mjoelner34]

Great play by our SS.

Don't worry. He'll make up for it at the plate.**

[IMissJack]

Terrible play by Alexander, but I have to say I would hate playing on that field. The footing has to be an issue sometimes.

[KOdawg1]

Nice throw luke

[ShotgunDawg]

Our defense is horse shit. That was two errors on one batter

[Bdawg]

Good gosh. Let's give them 6 outs this inning

[preachermatt83]

It is.

It comes out flat out of the hand, which make is look like his fastball. The sacrifice he makes with a flat out of hand curveball is that it's difficult to throw for a strike, due to simple geometry.

The other type of curveball is the bigger one with a hump out of the hand, like Kershaw's. Those are easier for the hitter to pick up but are easier to throw for strikes.
Makes sense

[Cooterpoot]

Our SS sucks too. He 17ing sucks!

[ShotgunDawg]

Nice throw luke

Worse play by our catcher

[Dawgology]

I knew as soon as our catcher dropped that foul ball it would come back and bite us. I've been a State fan too long...

[preachermatt83]

Our defense is horse shit. That was two errors on one batter

Awful

[Skydawg1]

This inning has been a team effort....still no outs.

[ShotgunDawg]

Wow. Complete breakdown

[Saltydog]

plays to have not been automatic outs. I've noticed that Skelton seems to have issues with pop ups.

[KOdawg1]

Skelton. All of this is on you. Make that catch and none of this shit happens.

[Bulldog1]

Lol wow.

[Cooterpoot]

I’ve seen 5 year old t ball teams defensively better than us.

[starkvegasdawg]

Holy shit. Can we 17 ourselves in the ass any more?

[IMissJack]

Our middle infielders are killing it right now.***

[preachermatt83]

Anybody that thinks we are a well coached team is crazy. We are coaches well in one area and that's hitting. No where else.

[KOdawg1]

bipolar. as. hell.

nice job K by small

[IMissJack]

I’ve seen 5 year old t ball teams defensively better than us.

Don't forget base running.

[ShotgunDawg]

Anybody that thinks we are a well coached team is crazy. We are coaches well in one area and that's hitting. No where else.

We are well coached in the batter's box & our pitchers have good game plans.

The rest is below average

[preachermatt83]

Alexander is just awful

[Dawgology]

That one is on the catcher.

[msstate7]

Anybody that thinks we are a well coached team is crazy. We are coaches well in one area and that's hitting. No where else.

You think those errors are a sign of coaching? Lol... Henderson should practice pop ups to the catcher and SS throws to 1b. That's on the players

[CadaverDawg]

Absolutely gifted them a run. Skelton & Luke.

[Cooterpoot]

There’s no damn way I want Henderson as our next HC. This team needs discipline.

[preachermatt83]

We are well coached in the batter's box & our pitchers have good game plans.

The rest is below average

Yup

[Bdawg]

Freaking half swing crap bounces over pitchers head. Good grief

[starkvegasdawg]

Surprised we've made it this far this inept in the basics.

[MarketingBully]

Remember throwing errors on this shitty field will most likely be two base errors.

[BulldogBear]

Face palm.... and the 17ing whistler is back.

This inning sux donkey balls.

[preachermatt83]

There’s no damn way I want Henderson as our next HC. This team needs discipline.

+1000

[BulldogBear]

Absolutely gifted them a run. Skelton & Luke.

Yes, this inning should be over. 3 up, 3 down.

[KOdawg1]

We're in trouble.

Again, Skelton, this all started with you.

[IMissJack]

Absolutely gifted them a run. Skelton & Luke.

Let's not give Stovall a pass on the pick off non play

[msstate7]

Was that error that gave us 2 runs a sign that Corbin sucks as a coach or that vandy lacks discipline? Vandy should fire Corbin

[CadaverDawg]

Too good of a 1-2 pitch, Ethan.

Shitty ass field allowing a check swing single. NCAA shouldn't allow a shit field like this. But it doesn't excuse the errors on routine plays. 1 real hit & they're about to tie it or take the lead

[preachermatt83]

This is what I don't like abt gary. Cohen or cann would go out there now chewing somebody out and yet he goes out there all calm. I like a coach who will have a fit when need be.

[CadaverDawg]

Let's not give Stovall a pass on the pick off non play

True. Clown show, and Small is pitching well

[BulldogBear]

Let's not give Stovall a pass on the pick off non play

The runner should never have been on base.

[Dawgology]

We're in trouble.

Again, Skelton, this all started with you.

This. Should be two outs with runner on first. It was a simple pop up. Terrible dropped catch.

[confucius say]

3 errors in a half inning. Let's just try to keep it tied.

Pitch count getting up.

[preachermatt83]

If I was a ump and a batter turns around talking crap to me they wouldn't get another call the rest of the game.

[Dawgology]

This is my first time to hear the whistler. Sounds like "van-dy-sux"

[msstate7]

The runner should never have been on base.

Well by that reasoning, Luke is immune too. Fact is all 3 screwed up. We'll bounce back

[Commercecomet24]

How much jail time would I get for shooting the whistler? Dang!

[IMissJack]

This team is so hard to watch sometimes. It's a roller coaster ride.

[ShotgunDawg]

That was strike 3.

Awful call

[preachermatt83]

But yet he sissys out and gives him the next pitch. Wuss sissy ump.

[Bulldog1]

Kaiser- Vandy's SS has 2 errors all year. Is that correct?

[BulldogBear]

How much jail time would I get for shooting the whistler? Dang!

Gift him about 10 hot dogs

[Commercecomet24]

That was strike 3.

Awful call

Agreed! Terrible!

[ShotgunDawg]

Small can really help his draft stock for next year by figuring out a change up.

He lays his arm back on it & telegraphs the pitch. With his fastball quality & ability to create angle & get in on right handed hitters, a good change up would change his world

[ShotgunDawg]

A good changeup would've put Kaiser away 5 pitches ago

[preachermatt83]

Small pitch count is WAYYYYY up. Thanks Belmont and Skelton.

[msstate7]

Kaiser- Vandy's SS has 2 errors all year. Is that correct?

Yes. That is most impressive too bc he gets to absolutely everything. He is as good a SS as I've seen in college. Corbin says he's better than Swanson, and Swanson is rated as one of the best in mlb by fangraphs. I love Kaiser. Cubs got him

[preachermatt83]

What are u doing Allen. Stupid!!!

[msstate7]

Allen with a freshman mistake

[ShotgunDawg]

Terrible, terrible, terrible.

It's the 3rd inning. Eliminate a big inning. Horrible dumb play.

Our defense is destroying us

[Commercecomet24]

Small ain't getting any help from the defense. Someone make a play.

[CadaverDawg]

Just give it to them. They aren't earning it, we're giving it to them. Small deserves better. We're wasting him

[preachermatt83]

Who coaches our infield? Brown!?

[ShotgunDawg]

4 defensive miscues in 1 inning

[Dawgology]

Looks like the moment is too big for some of our players

[Saltydog]

a brain fart. We've officially squandered a lead against a damn good pitcher who can get in grooves and shut us down.

[preachermatt83]

If I was small I'd chew some tail

[Bulldog1]

Who coaches our infield? Brown!?

Looks like nobody LOL.

[Dawg61]

Good grief defense

[ShotgunDawg]

WTF is Small doing?

Why was he so late getting to first base?

[Bulldog1]

WTF is Small doing?

Why was he so late getting to first base?

Same thing I'm wondering.

[DownwardDawg]

I told my son when our catcher dropped the easy pop fly, ?we screwed?.

[preachermatt83]

This is a crap inning. Have they had a legit hit all inning?

[Cooterpoot]

Was that error that gave us 2 runs a sign that Corbin sucks as a coach or that vandy lacks discipline? Vandy should fire Corbin

Go comparing fielding percentage. We suck at it. Neither play was a tough play.

[preachermatt83]

Looks like nobody LOL.

+1

[CadaverDawg]

This is a crap inning. Have they had a legit hit all inning?

1 to RC

[ShotgunDawg]

This is a crap inning. Have they had a legit hit all inning?

They've had 1. Linedrive to right center

[CadaverDawg]

We're screwed. Small at 70 through 3. We done

[msstate7]

This is a crap inning. Have they had a legit hit all inning?

We have 2 runs on 1 hit. We're both benefitting from errors. Just get an out here

[starkvegasdawg]

Our defense.

https://thumbs.gfycat.com/CheerySmartIceblueredtopzebra-max-1mb.gif

[Bulldog1]

70 pitches in 3rd inning.

[MarketingBully]

What the hell is this shit...

[BulldogBear]

This was a 3 up 3 down inning. Turned into crap.

[Bdawg]

Defense has totally screwed Small for this game. 70
Pitches and not out of the 3rd. Have any of our starters gone past the 7th this year?

[Cooterpoot]

This inning hurts more than just the scoreboard. Small will be lucky to go 5 now. Going to eat our pen up. Better win or we’re screwed if we get into the pen.

[preachermatt83]

Small having to do it alone.

[msstate7]

Delete

[MarketingBully]

That’s a win with the way we were playing that half inning. Holy shit.

[ShotgunDawg]

I don't understand why Small never used that changeup vs Kaiser. It would've struck him out

[preachermatt83]

What the hell is this shit...

Garbage!

[RocketDawg]

Did well to get out of that with only 2 runs scored. No more errors in the game and we win.

[BulldogBear]

Good job Small!

[CadaverDawg]

If they get up big, we should pitch Alexander and tell him we aren't going home until you finish it...even if they score 100 and you get whiplash

[KOdawg1]

Silver lining: it's still tied. Back to square one. Let's strike back right here.

[MarketingBully]

I don't understand why Small never used that changeup vs Kaiser. It would've struck him out

Because he didn’t do a good job placing it in the first and it got hammered. At least we got out of there without Vandy taking a lead.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Looks like getting 6 innings from Small will be a success at this point....giving them 6 outs in an inning does that

[RocketDawg]

Do they sell tickets to the parking garage? The garage is essentially their lofts.

[msstate7]

If they get up big, we should pitch Alexander and tell him we aren't going home until you finish it...even if they score 100 and you get whiplash
It's 2-2, cadaver! Where is this coming from? Haha

[BulldogBear]

Leadoff walk. Let's make 'me pay Bulldogs.

[KOdawg1]

Leadoff walk. Man, I love Jake Mangum

[Cooterpoot]

I’d take Skelton’s cup if he miss plays another pop up.

[ShotgunDawg]

Hopefully Fellows' pitch count will rise as well.

[HoopsDawg]

If they get up big, we should pitch Alexander and tell him we aren't going home until you finish it...even if they score 100 and you get whiplash

weird post.

[msstate7]

Fellows pitch count is high too.

Come on guys, quit melting... we got this. You guys know it's bad when I'm trying to calm y'all down.

[Bdawg]

He can't find the zone

[KOdawg1]

Fellows pitch count is high too.

Come on guys, quit melting... we got this. You guys know it's bad when I'm trying to calm y'all down.

This is true.

[ShotgunDawg]

Rowdy Jordan has a really sweet swing

[BulldogBear]

Base hit Jordan! Two on, no outs.

[msstate7]

Rowdy Jordan has a really sweet swing

I love this kid. Crazy pop for his size

[ShotgunDawg]

YUGE. Pass ball.

No bunt needed

[Bdawg]

We are fixing to get to this guy. He's a head case

[BulldogBear]

If Vandy matches us mistake for mistake, we win for sure!

Two dogs in scoring position with no outs.

[CadaverDawg]

weird post.

Let him feel what it's like to have to get folks out since he gives up so many outs. Nevermind

[ShotgunDawg]

Get ready for a spiked curveball in the dirt.

After being yelled at, Fellows will try to throw his curveball harder & spike it

[Cooterpoot]

Rowdy looks like he’s prepared with a plan every single at bat.

[preachermatt83]

Rowdy jordon is gonna be very very good for us!! Jake and rowdey are my favorite Dawgs in a long long time.

[msstate7]

YUGE. Pass ball.

No bunt needed

Why would we bunt our 3-hole hitter that's LH?

[Bdawg]

And we swing at a curve right after the mound meeting!!! Jeez

[msstate7]

We gonna punk these boys

[BulldogBear]

Allen knocks one in!

[Bulldog1]

Big hit from Allen.

[ShotgunDawg]

Why would we bunt our 3-hole hitter that's LH?

Maybe you don't

The pass ball made it no question though

[Cooterpoot]

Fellows is toast. Dude is a head case.

[preachermatt83]

Our freshmen will have a good chance to win a natty here. There are very very good.

[ShotgunDawg]

Fellows down to 86 mph.

He's laboring

[msstate7]

Our freshmen will have a good chance to win a natty here. There are very very good.

Better find some pitching

[Bulldog1]

We are about to light them up.

[BulldogBear]

How long will they leave him out there?

4-2 Dogs

[MaroonFlounder]

The Freshmen Came to play.

[ShotgunDawg]

Vandy better get that bullpen hot fast.

[RocketDawg]

Should have a Vandy pitching change now.

[Bdawg]

Hot bats continue!!!! Go Dawgs!!!

[msstate7]

Fellows down to 86 mph.

He's laboring

Wow... reliever

[ShotgunDawg]

KABOOOM

[BrunswickDawg]

Mac!!!

[Cooterpoot]

Mac is on fire!

[msstate7]

Told you guys... sack up... we got this

[BulldogBear]

Wow! Macnamee!

7-2 Dogs!

[Bdawg]

Spank their arse!!!!!!!

[Bulldog1]

MACCCC!!!!!!

[RocketDawg]

Corbin shoulda had some relievers warming up. 3 run HR should put it out of reach.

[ShotgunDawg]

Wow... reliever

It's concerning for sure

[preachermatt83]

Mac!!!

[Commercecomet24]

Our kids can rake!!!

[Dawgology]

Stick that in your ****ing Whistler Vandy

[MarketingBully]

That was awesome!!!!

[Dawg61]

RALLY BANANA!!!!

[Commercecomet24]

But our players are to small*****

[preachermatt83]

Guys, I want henderson gone but we gotta figure out some way to keep Geatreau. I don't know how. But we gotta do it.

[Bdawg]

Love this. Mac strikes out first time on a curve but comes back with a plan next time and puts it in the seats. I love Jake G!!!

[Cooterpoot]

If Mac had a gap in his teeth, he’d look like Judge.

[RocketDawg]

MacNamee must cut his own hair ....

[KOdawg1]

Guys, I want henderson gone but we gotta figure out some way to keep Geatreau. I don't know how. But we gotta do it.

*cough* make him head coach *cough

[msstate7]

Guys, I want henderson gone but we gotta figure out some way to keep Geatreau. I don't know how. But we gotta do it.

It's crazy how when things are going bad you issue all the blame on Henderson, but when things are going great you give all the credit to Gautreau . I love Gautreau, and I'm not a big Henderson guy, but come on mane... Henderson has done a good job this year.

[BrunswickDawg]

But our players are to small*****
Mental midgets with no Girodos either.***

[msstate7]

If Mac had a gap in his teeth, he’d look like Judge.

Only a foot shorter, 75 Lbs lighter, and a different color skin haha

[parabrave]

I can't screenshot it but go to the hailstate site and pull up the game live stats, they are using the NCAA statsline and it has us down 7-2.

[KOdawg1]

We need a quick 1-2-3 inning from Small here

[shoeless joe]

It's crazy how when things are going bad you issue all the blame on Henderson, but when things are going great you give all the credit to Gautreau . I love Gautreau, and I'm not a big Henderson guy, but come on mane... Henderson has done a good job this year.

Copying my posts I see...

[Cooterpoot]

Only a foot shorter, 75 Lbs lighter, and a different color skin haha

Ha, yeah.

[BeardoMSU]

But our players are to small*****

We accept them one of us. We accept them one of us. Gooble gobble, gooble gobble.

[msstate7]

Copying my posts I see...

Whatever dude... I have given Henderson credit for a while now. Dude is not my choice for HC, but he has done a good job

[BulldogBear]

Outfield is on point

[msstate7]

We really need to win this game without using self for more than an inning and france at all

[DownwardDawg]

I?m having a blast!!!

Four Roses Single Barrell Store Pick!!!

[BulldogBear]

That's a tough bounce

[BulldogBear]

I?m having a blast!!!

Four Roses Single Barrell Store Pick!!!

Are you there?

And where is your banana?

[ShotgunDawg]

With Small's pitch count at 89, I don't like wasting high fastballs like that

[KOdawg1]

So we're probably only going to get 5 innings from Small, if that, so who do we go to? Like others have said, I'd like to use Self for only an inning or two and save France for Sat/Sun. I'm going with Keegan James for a few innings

[ShotgunDawg]

Mangum is so damn good out there.

So damn good.

His instincts & breaks on the ball are flat out elite

[msstate7]

You gottta stretch small out to 120 pitches tonight if he's still somewhat effective

[Bdawg]

With Small's pitch count at 89, I don't like wasting high fastballs like that

Not like that. Go get them with this lead
