Super Regional - Game 2 - Pilkington

[preachermatt83]

Neff better be warm

[confucius say]

That's on Luke's lack of instincts & anticipation.

He is bad in those areas

[Lord McBuckethead]

Well can we not get a run of the mill out here?

[MarketingBully]

James killing us. Get Neff in there if he walks Martin.

[preachermatt83]

Catch the freaking ball Skelton

[confucius say]

Damn Skelton. Learn how to receive

[Bulldog1]

Trouble.

[MarketingBully]

Get James out of there.

[preachermatt83]

Dang walks.

[ShotgunDawg]

Keegan just doesn't have it

[confucius say]

Wake up Hindu. Mound visit

[Cooterpoot]

Bullpen sucks

[Dawg61]

Pull him

[CadaverDawg]

This is why you can't only score 3 on Raby. We should have a 3-4 run lead.

[ShotgunDawg]

Seems like we have a reliever implode every game.

[Bulldog1]

Thank God bringing Neff in.

[maroonmania]

Anybody who thought 3 runs was going to win this one was just dreaming. We need our offense tonight.

[confucius say]

Left on left here.

[ShotgunDawg]

We need Neff to be a dude tonight

[maroonmania]

Seems like its been a long time since Neff has gotten any game time.

[CadaverDawg]

Thank God bringing Neff in.

Noooo, no jinx

[CadaverDawg]

We need Neff to be a dude tonight

Yep. Biggest out of his career

[maroonmania]

BIG spot here.

[I seen it dawg]

Jhenderson never tries to steal outs at the right time. We should have never ****ed around and just started james wth a clean inning.

[CadaverDawg]

Skelton sucks at framing curves

[CadaverDawg]

Jhenderson never tries to steal outs at the right time. We should have never ****ed around and just started james wth a clean inning.

Yep

[confucius say]

0-2. Be smart

[CadaverDawg]

HUGE!!!!

[maroonmania]

Great job Neff!

[preachermatt83]

Neffffffff!!!

[Bulldog1]

NEFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!

[Dawgcap]

What a job

[ShotgunDawg]

ABSOLUTELY ****ING YUGE

That's how you come out of the bullpen

[MarketingBully]

Neff had some Girodos there!!!

[Dawgcap]

We need a couple here!!

[maroonmania]

Come on, top of the order up, let's score some runs!

[ShotgunDawg]

Baseball is the most dramatic sport in the world.

There is nothing like it. Absolutely nothing

[Dawg61]

NEFF!!!!!

[CadaverDawg]

https://media1.tenor.com/images/4d88ca458dd87a78979baff245791a8e/tenor.gif?itemid=7357158

[confucius say]

Neff!!

Get you some. I love weird ass lefties.

[MarketingBully]

Jhenderson never tries to steal outs at the right time. We should have never ****ed around and just started james wth a clean inning.

Agreed. James isn’t as comfortable in the stretch as he is with his regular wind up.

[confucius say]

Tack. On. A. Run.

[preachermatt83]

That pitch hasn't been a strike all night

[ShotgunDawg]

Gillis is nasty

[BrunswickDawg]

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

[preachermatt83]

Baseball is the most dramatic sport in the world.

There is nothing like it. Absolutely nothing

Agreed!!

[confucius say]

0-0 to Mangum has not been a strike. BS.

[CadaverDawg]

Gillis is owning us. We better hope we can shut em out, bc we may not score again

[ShotgunDawg]

Boy the ump is expanding the outside corner

[preachermatt83]

I don't see us scoring on this guy. He's filthy.

[confucius say]

How early do you go to Self if needed?

[ShotgunDawg]

Gillis is owning us. We better hope we can shut em out, bc we may not score again

Looks like Andrew Miller tonight

This is where Vandy's scholarship deal gets ridiculous. Having these type of guys in the pen

[confucius say]

Boy the ump is expanding the outside corner

Yep. All the sudden.

[CadaverDawg]

LETS GET ROWDEY

[maroonmania]

Rowdy!!

[Bulldog1]

Rowdey triple! Bring him in!

[preachermatt83]

Rowdey is one of my favorite Dawgs!!

[ShotgunDawg]

BOOM

Atta boy Rowdy.

I think he accidentally made contact

[confucius say]

Rowdy doin work!!

Get him in Allen.

Infield in?

[Dawgcap]

We need this run badly!!!

[ShotgunDawg]

Can Rowdy play CF?

He can run

[CadaverDawg]

Gotta do a job here, Tanner. You're due

[Dawg61]

ROWDEY RODY PIPER!!!!

[preachermatt83]

Hit a fly ball tanner.

[msstate7]

Gillis era over 5. He has given up a hit an inning, struck out 40 in 30 ip, and walked 17 in 30 ip. If we're patient, he may help us

[CadaverDawg]

Wtf are you swinging at Tanner. That's a ball

[CadaverDawg]

Tanner is trying to pull everything. He's out

[confucius say]

Gillis era over 5. He has given up a hit an inning, struck out 40 in 30 ip, and walked 17 in 30 ip. If we're patient, he may help us

How is he at throwing one to the backstop?

[preachermatt83]

Tanners been crap tonight

[ShotgunDawg]

Just an awful AB

That's multiple terrible ABs by him tonight

[CadaverDawg]

Can't have that, Allen. You have got to do something to get him in.

[maroonmania]

Ball looked very hittable to me. Not sure why you look at that.

[confucius say]

Bad time to have the only lefty in the order up

[CadaverDawg]

Another wasted opportunity

[msstate7]

How is he at throwing one to the backstop?

Haha... 5 on year

[ShotgunDawg]

Ball looked very hittable to me. Not sure why you look at that.

Come on man.

[I seen it dawg]

Can't ****ing strike out there Allen ****

[CadaverDawg]

Get Riley up

[confucius say]

Can't ****ing strike out there Allen ****

I would have bunted in that left on left. Swear.

[mparkerfd20]

Allen can't hit for shit anymore

[Bulldog1]

Wasted opportunity.

[preachermatt83]

Crap

[msstate7]

Hindsight and all, but maybe we should've squeezed left on left. Bobby Cox would squeeze all the time after a triple

[ShotgunDawg]

You gotta be kidding me

[MarketingBully]

He didn’t catch that trapped it on the wall.

[CadaverDawg]

I would have bunted in that left on left. Swear.

I thought about that too with Tanner looking so clueless. We're in trouble guys...gotta shut em out to have a chance

[I seen it dawg]

Allen has killed us tonite.

[mparkerfd20]

Shit

[ShotgunDawg]

Hindsight and all, but maybe we should've squeezed left on left. Bobby Cox would squeeze all the time after a triple

Yeah, something to keep in mind if Allen is up again in the 9th vs a lefty.

He simply had no chance against that stud

[preachermatt83]

I'm telling ya, we will not score off of this guy.

[preachermatt83]

I thought about that too with Tanner looking so clueless. We're in trouble guys...gotta shut em out to have a chance

Yup. We ain't scoring on this cat.

[confucius say]

Ok Neff. Be the man here

[I seen it dawg]

I would have bunted in that left on left. Swear.

Damn well would have been better than the shitastic AB Allen had

[Dawg61]

Gillis can pitch for 30 MLB bullpens right now. Dude is nasty. Hope Vandy does us a favor and pulls him.

[maroonmania]

Come on man.

What I'm saying is the ball was never out of the strike zone, gotta swing.

[ShotgunDawg]

I think it was an out

[CadaverDawg]

I just worry that we don't have the pen to shut them out for 3 more innings

[msstate7]

Gillis can pitch for 30 MLB bullpens right now. Dude is nasty. Hope Vandy does us a favor and pulls him.

His era is 5.10 in college. Have y'all lost y'alls mind?

[ShotgunDawg]

What a lucky ass catch

[Dawgcap]

What I'm saying is the ball was never out of the strike zone, gotta swing.

He couldn’t swing. That pitch froze him. I believe he thought it was gonna hit him cause he flinched

[maroonmania]

I'm telling ya, we will not score off of this guy.

As tough as this pitcher is, in hindsight, it might have been worth trying a squeeze play. Infield was playing in though I believe.

[CadaverDawg]

His era is 5.10 in college. Have y'all lost y'alls mind?

Yeah it's more of us not being able to hit lefties. If I were playing us, I'd pitch only LHP's

[confucius say]

His era is 5.10 in college. Have y'all lost y'alls mind?

If we have a righty up instead of Allen, we score there.

[MarketingBully]

I hate ump’s if your glove hits the wall it’s not a catch.

[maroonmania]

He couldn’t swing. That pitch froze him. I believe he thought it was gonna hit him cause he flinched

Now I'm going to do a come on man. Pitch definitely froze him but was never threatening to hit him. He just got fooled.

[ShotgunDawg]

His era is 5.10 in college. Have y'all lost y'alls mind?

Reliever ERAs are very misleading. Due to the few amount of innings they throw, one bad outing can destroy their ERA.

Regardless of what he's been all season, his stuff tonight would allow him to pitch for all 30 MLB teams

[Dawg61]

His era is 5.10 in college. Have y'all lost y'alls mind?

era looks like zero to me right now. Dude is filthy. I don't want to see him anymore.

[CadaverDawg]

Anybody else feel like we're down 1 instead of up 1

[ShotgunDawg]

Yeah it's more of us not being able to hit lefties. If I were playing us, I'd pitch only LHP's

He's really good Cadaver.

Think across the country and name a better lefty. Don't hold your breath

[Bulldog1]

Anybody else feel like we're down 1 instead of up 1

Yeah I'm really nervous right now.

[CadaverDawg]

He's really good Cadaver.

Think across the country and name a better lefty. Don't hold your breath

Parrish

[Dawgcap]

Now I'm going to do a come on man. Pitch definitely froze him but was never threatening to hit him. He just got fooled.

That’s what I said. He was fooled on a slider right down Main Street. Allen froze because it was coming in on him

[ShotgunDawg]

Neff is our guy tonight. He's got it

[msstate7]

Reliever ERAs are very misleading. Due to the few amount of innings they throw, one bad outing can destroy their ERA.

Regardless of what he's been all season, his stuff tonight would allow him to pitch for all 30 MLB teams

Entering tonight...
30.0 ip 29 h 17 bb 40 k
5.10 era
.250 baa

[ShotgunDawg]

Parrish

Gillis is a better pro prospect. Good one though. Parrish is legit

[Dawgcap]

He thought it was coming in on him. He was fooled on a great pitch

[Dawg61]

He's really good Cadaver.

Think across the country and name a better lefty. Don't hold your breath

Heimlich but he's a starter and a pedophile

[ShotgunDawg]

Entering tonight...
30.0 ip 29 h 17 bb 40 k
5.10 era
.250 baa

The walks are what has gotten him. 40Ks in 30 IP means he has stuff

[CadaverDawg]

Entering tonight...
30.0 ip 29 h 17 bb 40 k
5.10 era
.250 baa

17 walks in 30 innings and we're up there hacking when we haven't touched him

[preachermatt83]

Keep dealing neff.

[maroonmania]

If we get through this inning do you go to Self for the 8th and 9th?

[ShotgunDawg]

Heimlich but he's a starter and a pedophile

Heimlich is better than Gillis because he's a starter.

Gillis is Kevin Siegrist & Heimlich is Ted Lilly

[CadaverDawg]

LETS GET SOME RUNS!!!!

[Bulldog1]

Great job by Neff!

[ShotgunDawg]

Freaking Neff

[CadaverDawg]

If we get through this inning do you go to Self for the 8th and 9th?

I think you gotta keep Neff in right now

[confucius say]

Entering tonight...
30.0 ip 29 h 17 bb 40 k
5.10 era
.250 baa

Yep. He has controlled it tonight and that's why he has been good.

Meanwhile, Neff!!

[Dawg61]

Heimlich is better than Gillis because he's a starter.

Gillis is Kevin Siegrist & Heimlich is Ted Lilly

You did Ted Lilly dirty**

[Bulldog1]

I think you gotta keep Neff in right now

Yep. Only at 13 pitches too.

[MarketingBully]

It depends. If we score I’d have Neff go back out there. If we don’t, send Self out for the eighth and ninth. He only pitched 15 pitches last night.

[msstate7]

The walks are what has gotten him. 40Ks in 30 IP means he has stuff

Exactly. MLB hitters aren't gonna swing at crap pitches. Kid is good... very talented. To say he can pitch in 30 mlb bullpens right now is crazy talk.

[Dawg61]

Gotta stick with Neff he's only thrown like 12 pitches thru 4 batters

[ShotgunDawg]

You did Ted Lilly dirty**

As a pitcher, not as a person.

I hear you though

[confucius say]

Give Neff some insurance.
Let's go!! Win it right now.

[ShotgunDawg]

Exactly. MLB hitters aren't gonna swing at crap pitches. Kid is good... very talented. To say he can pitch in 30 mlb bullpens right now is crazy talk.

I think you overrate what most MLB bullpens have in the pen as their LOOGY

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

It depends. If we score I’d have Neff go back out there. If we don’t, send Self out for the eighth and ninth. He only pitched 15 pitches last night.

Nah man, have Self be warm but Neff has them guessing. Not sure they've seen enough of him to put together a new strategy either

[ShotgunDawg]

We will pound Schaller

Throws hard but straight

[CadaverDawg]

97? Shit

[preachermatt83]

Dumb of Vandy. We was not gonna hit gillis. A righty flame thrower we have a better chance with.

[CadaverDawg]

We will pound Schaller

Throws hard but straight

Not if we don't swing

[preachermatt83]

That's at his dang ankles blue. Geez

[CadaverDawg]

Awful at bat, Mac

[msstate7]

I think you overrate what most MLB bullpens have in the pen as their LOOGY

Cool. Let's keep a bet going right now. You say he is in an mlb pen the same year he's drafted. I say no way... 1.5 years at least

[confucius say]

Taken way too many fastballs for strikes tonight.

[ShotgunDawg]

McNamee can't handle a good FB

Lets just hope he get another hanging slider when the game is on the line

[Dawgcap]

This freshman is dealing heat!

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

90 F'ing 8 God have mercy on us

[mparkerfd20]

Now THAT is a damn closer

[ShotgunDawg]

Cool. Let's keep a bet going right now. You say he is in an mlb pen the same year he's drafted. I say no way... 1.5 years at least

Big difference between CAN & WILL

No team will boat race him to the big leagues like that, but his talent level would allow him

[CadaverDawg]

Way to go, Foscue

[preachermatt83]

Make him pay for the walk here.

[msstate7]

Luke, please have 4 in that bat

[CadaverDawg]

Alexander is due a bomb, no?

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Way to go, Foscue

If I was facing 98, I'd keep the bat on my shoulder and pray he walked me too

[ShotgunDawg]

Schaller might have an RPG hit his elbow in this game.

That arm action is ugly

[confucius say]

Run into one at 98 Luke

[msstate7]

Oregon st tied it in 8th

[CadaverDawg]

No chance LA hits this guy

[ShotgunDawg]

Luke just missed that one

[preachermatt83]

Alexander is bad late

[ShotgunDawg]

No chance LA hits this guy

You're a reverse psychology savant

[ShotgunDawg]

Maybe we won't pound Schaller

Tennessee Tech lit his ass up earlier this year

[confucius say]

Somebody drag bunt and let's see if this big bastard can throw 98 accurately to first base

[CadaverDawg]

You're a reverse psychology savant

I do what I can.

[preachermatt83]

Skelton won't touch 98

[CadaverDawg]

Our bats are cold since they pulled shitass Raby.

[ShotgunDawg]

just guess Skelton Just guess

[maroonmania]

Looking like we are going to have to try and win with 3 runs. Had our one chance with the Rowdy triple and couldn't put the ball in play behind him.

[msstate7]

Lucky bounce

[preachermatt83]

How unlucky can u get. Geez.

[CadaverDawg]

Skelton actually smoked that.

[maroonmania]

Dang, that was a single up the middle all the way.

[MarketingBully]

That’s a basehit if it doesn’t hit the damn pitcher. Second one.

[ShotgunDawg]

What's the deal with their pitcher being hit by like three line drives tonight that have resulted in outs?

[confucius say]

Skelton laced that

[MarketingBully]

At some point in time the bullpen is going to have to win it for us. This might be said game.

[mparkerfd20]

Holy shit talk about bad luck

[Dawgology]

We have a Skelton problem. I felt bad for the guy watching him walk up to the batters box with this guy pitching.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

How many hits tonight have hit the P and wound up outs?

[msstate7]

Our bats are cold since they pulled shitass Raby. LA & Skelton are Juco quality at best

LA is not a good hitter, but weird to single him out. He has 1 of our 2 hits since Raby left

[CadaverDawg]

What's the deal with their pitcher being hit by like three line drives tonight that have resulted in outs?

Lucky shit

[CadaverDawg]

LA is not a good hitter, but weird to single him out. He has 1 of our 2 hits since Raby left

I was trying to work juju, 7. Damn, of all people to question that

[mparkerfd20]

We ain't scoring on this guy. Gotta make 3 stand up.

[ShotgunDawg]

DiMarco the steroid user coming up?

[Covercorner2]

We have a Skelton problem. I felt bad for the guy watching him walk up to the batters box with this guy pitching.

That?s a hit if it doesn?t hit the pitcher...

[msstate7]

I was trying to work juju, 7. Damn, if all people to question that

We got this.

[ShotgunDawg]

Neff can't hang that

[CadaverDawg]

Careful here Neff

[CadaverDawg]

Whew

[maroonmania]

Feel much better getting by that guy.

[confucius say]

5 outs baby

[ShotgunDawg]

Whew. Harrison Bader JR almost got him one

[msstate7]

Baseball is cruel. May be hardest ball hit all night, and out

[CadaverDawg]

5 outs baby

Watch the bad juju, confucius

[ShotgunDawg]

Throw that FB away again

[CadaverDawg]

Why is Self not warm right now

[ShotgunDawg]

Come on Neff. No freebees

[Bulldog1]

We in trouble.

[CadaverDawg]

Henderson makes me want to puke. Self is not even tossing

[MarketingBully]

That was on the shift.

[ShotgunDawg]

Does Luke Alexander play SS or 3B? Just asking

[confucius say]

Watch the bad juju, confucius

Whoops.

This is where we'll eff it up. A .224 hitter and we Eff it up

[Cooterpoot]

Makes no sense that Self isn?t ready. Damn Gary...

[CadaverDawg]

STOP SHIFTING OUR PLAYERS, DUMBASSES

[maroonmania]

Alexander is never where he needs to be.

[preachermatt83]

And again we are out of freaking position

[msstate7]

A triple on a ball 2 foot off the ground

[mparkerfd20]

Probably just lost

[Bdawg]

My god we've played terrible positioning all night

[Bulldog1]

Get Self up in the pen.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Where the F were we aligned??

[ShotgunDawg]

A triple on a ball 2 foot off the ground

Playing on a driveway

[Lord McBuckethead]

Shift ****ed us again. Who is calling this shit.

[CadaverDawg]

Glad our best pitcher was in the game with Omaha on the line, Gary. Dumb****

[msstate7]

Does Luke Alexander play SS or 3B? Just asking

Jake plays rf. Rowdey plays foul line

[preachermatt83]

Ballgame we can't score on Vandy pen

[MarketingBully]

Self in!!!!!

[Cooterpoot]

Screw you Gary. It’s all tonight and you’re blowing it.

[Bulldog1]

GET SELF UP IN THE PEN.

[mparkerfd20]

Oh well. Good night. See ya'll tomorrow

[preachermatt83]

Gary is an idiot.

[ShotgunDawg]

we are due a double play

[CadaverDawg]

We may have just missed Omaha guys, while extending Neff with Self in the pen chillin

[ShotgunDawg]

I wonder where Alexander is aligned against this hitter?

[ShotgunDawg]

Huge out

[confucius say]

I wonder where Alexander is aligned against this hitter?

Prob in the 4 hole

[ShotgunDawg]

Can't allow the runner from 1st to score on a double

[CadaverDawg]

Luck runs out tonight. You can't keep screwing around on the road and just think Macnamee will keep hitting walkoffs. That's not how it works

[Bdawg]

Gary is an idiot.

And some people pondering hiring him.

[MarketingBully]

You can’t have the infield shifted one way with the outfield shifted not to back up the infield. That was a routine out to the shortstop that became a triple.

[BulldogBear]

Ballgame we can't score on Vandy pen

Yep. Lost this game T1.

[ShotgunDawg]

Ok. Let's win this thing

[Bulldog1]

Okay please score here. 9, 1, 2 hitters due up.

[Cooterpoot]

THIS is why Gary can’t be our HC.

[msstate7]

Gotta score here. Can't let neff face 2-4 next inning. Self only comes in with lead

[confucius say]

Goes back to only scoring 3 off their sucky starter Raby.

[maroonmania]

We may have just missed Omaha guys, while extending Neff with Self in the pen chillin

No doubt I would have put Self in to try and get 6 outs for the win but I didn't figure Henderson would do that. Bad part is there is no guarantee we will ever have a lead late tomorrow but we had one tonight. I would not have saved Self for a third game that you would not have needed if he shut down Vandy tonight.

[MarketingBully]

Who is in charge of our shifting? If we just have routine positioning, do they even score a run tonight?

[Lord McBuckethead]

Got to try to get a hit on their closer. We need a run.

[ShotgunDawg]

Okay please score here. 9, 1, 2 hitters due up.

Westburg will have to shorten up & guess.

He doesn't have the trigger to time up this guy with his normal swing.

[Bdawg]

Guess self couldn't get us five outs to go to Omaha tonight! Gary probably saving him for Sunday!!

[starkvegasdawg]

Okay please score here. 9, 1, 2 hitters due up.

Lead off double. Bunt to third. Sac. fly.

[bostondawg]

17 Gary

[MarketingBully]

No doubt I would have put Self in to try and get 6 outs for the win but I didn't figure Henderson would do that. Bad part is there is no guarantee we will ever have a lead late tomorrow but we had one tonight. I would not have save Self for a third game that you would not have needed if he shut down Vandy tonight.

Agree completely. Henderson has put us in a bad spot right now. Let’s see if our hitters can pick his dumb ass decisions.

[preachermatt83]

Surely this guy can't be as good as the other two can he?

[msstate7]

Jake and rowdey get to hit lh

[CadaverDawg]

I can't believe we didn't go all out to win this game. You can't play to save anybody when you have a lead in the road in the 8th with Omaha on the line. Just unbelievable. And we have people wanting to make him our coach

[confucius say]

Their whole pen is 6'5" throwing 94

[Lord McBuckethead]

You can’t have the infield shifted one way with the outfield shifted not to back up the infield. That was a routine out to the shortstop that became a triple.

Yep. That is the third time tonight the shift at shortstop only has costs us. Hell every run they have is off the shift.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Honestly can't blame Neff for dumb shifts. Sure he got hit hard but nobody better say he blew it or anything.

We can still win this one. If we don't score here though I think it's over
