[maroonmania]

That tells you how far they are bunched up the middle. Rowdey hits it almost right over the 2B bag and the SS and 2nd baseman are both there to field it.

[KOdawg1]

2 runs will win this game. We are leaving too many men on base. Our freshmen looked scared to death.

This. Some of our guys are timid

[CadaverDawg]

2 runs will win this game. We are leaving too many men on base. Our freshmen looked scared to death.

2 runs from them will win it. Hell, 1 might

[MarketingBully]

Why are we trying to freaking pull everything.

At some point someone has to just go with the damn pitch. I’m sick of us hitting it straight up the middle. That feeds into their defense.

[Goldendawg]

I had forgotten how much I hated this stadium with the wind always blowing in. I hate small ball. Memories of UCLA and 2013 already.

[bostondawg]

Pitching for contact can be really effective in the college game. This guy is really good.

[CadaverDawg]

Who do we get up first in the pen?

[msstate7]

Pitching for contact can be really effective in the college game. This guy is really good.
Until the contact finds holes. Swing and miss is always superior

[preachermatt83]

Small is doing very well. Our offense won’t adjust and stop trying to pull everything. It’s frustrating

[IMissJack]

Pitching for contact can be really effective in the college game. This guy is really good.

Not in FSU's stadium.

[CadaverDawg]

No walks Small

[preachermatt83]

At some point someone has to just go with the damn pitch. I’m sick of us hitting it straight up the middle. That feeds into their defense.

Exactly right!!

[Bdawg]

Man Rowdey has sucked tonight. You can’t pull this guy. It just goes up the middle.

Don't understand. Up the middle is not pulling it unless the ball is on outside corner or off the plate and your ahead of it.

[CadaverDawg]

Now we balk or throw it away and gift them a run

[msstate7]

Get the batter, small

[MarketingBully]

Don't understand. Up the middle is not pulling it unless the ball is on outside corner or off the plate and your ahead of it.

When you pull it against this guy it just goes to the middle of the field. They have two shortstops playing both second and short.

[Bdawg]

Gun this guy Skelton. Come on

[Bully13]

But overall of late we've been doing a damned good job going the other way, no?

[CadaverDawg]

Get the batter, small

Yep. Don't let a fast runner lose us the game by losing focus. He's not stealing 3 bases

[BrunswickDawg]

We need a catcher desperately

[MarketingBully]

Skelton isn’t good at throwing batters out...

[RocketDawg]

I see that throw downs haven't improved ....

[preachermatt83]

Please put Gilbert in the game. Please. This is absurd

[maroonmania]

The way this game is playing out is exactly why I didn't see why anyone would want to start Pilk over Small. And Skelton couldn't throw out my Grandmother trying to steal.

[Bdawg]

Jeez Skelton. That's bad

[CadaverDawg]

Skelton isn’t good at throwing batters out...

He's not good at anything, let's be honest

[msstate7]

Skelton isn’t good at throwing batters out...

Skelton isn't good at anything wearing a glove

[Bdawg]

Need a K here

[maroonmania]

Skelton isn't good at anything wearing a glove

Gilbert must be deep in the dog house.

[preachermatt83]

We need a catcher desperately

Gilbert has an outstanding runners caught stealing percentage

[Bulldog1]

I'm tired of seeing Skelton on the field.

[CadaverDawg]

How bad is Gilbert if he can't get playing time?

[RocketDawg]

Skelton isn't good at anything wearing a glove

Well, at least he caught that ball that was 10 feet up.

[Dawgology]

He's not good at anything, let's be honest

About all he can do is bunt

[KOdawg1]

Gilbert has an outstanding runners caught stealing percentage

and he hits just as good, if not better than Skelton

[CadaverDawg]

We will be down 1-0 shortly

[msstate7]

How bad is Gilbert if he can't get playing time?
I think he's hurt. He was pretty good 2nd half till right at end of season

[CadaverDawg]

and he hits just as good, if not better than Skelton

As good = Shitty

Better = Slightly less shitty

[RocketDawg]

Looks like we have fans scattered all over the field.

[msstate7]

About all he can do is bunt

He's good at bunting and making contact

[RocketDawg]

Is Tennessee Pat there tonight doing her charting?

[KOdawg1]

Just get this guy out, and let's get out of here

[CadaverDawg]

Don't let Andre the Giant beat you, Small

[maroonmania]

There has to be a reason that Gilbert is getting no playing time that has nothing to do with baseball skills.

[msstate7]

Pitching change? Don't you freaking dare

[msstate7]

Walk em

[bostondawg]

Don't make a change. Small has this.

When was the last time you thought Henderson made a pitching change too early?

Glad he isn't changing here.

[maroonmania]

Nothing good here. First base is open.

[CadaverDawg]

Watch the little bastard...he'll steal home

[ChillOutDog]

Hell yeah Ethan!

[Bulldog1]

Huge K.

[BrunswickDawg]

Small nutted up!

[RocketDawg]

No need to walk him. Swings at ball.

[CadaverDawg]

Big time pitch, Ethan. Get this man some damn runs

[msstate7]

Aggressive. Damn, small and Henderson... good job and move

[preachermatt83]

Way to girado up small!!!

[MarketingBully]

Good job Small. Another zero. We have to do something here.

[KOdawg1]

Excellent outing by Small. He brought his shit; too bad our hitters haven't so far

[Really Clark?]

Don't understand. Up the middle is not pulling it unless the ball is on outside corner or off the plate and your ahead of it.

The pitch Rowdy hit was outside running off the black. He pulled it but it’s not like he put a dead pull swing on the pitch like some are acting either. He was trying to go oppo but was off time and the ball hit the end of the bat on top of the ball. Late movement and he was going to be off center anyway but had a better chance to getting it through

[bostondawg]

WOW. I love the emotion from Small. 90 pitches in and he's pumped.

[preachermatt83]

There has to be a reason that Gilbert is getting no playing time that has nothing to do with baseball skills.

It’s got to be.

[CadaverDawg]

I'm trying something else on offense, guys....we're about to put up a 2 spot

[confucius say]

Ok I'm here now guys. We good. Bout to scratch right here.

[ChillOutDog]

You can’t pop a first pitch up in the infield

[BrunswickDawg]

And radio falls behind the action.....

[BulldogBear]

We have no patience at the plate

[maroonmania]

Dang, we aren't going to score a run all night.

[MarketingBully]

Tanner has been killing us. One pitch? Really?

[CadaverDawg]

Nevermind, Allen pissed me off. This guy is right handed Ross Mitchell, we're done

[msstate7]

You can’t pop a first pitch up in the infield

Allen says you can. Garbage AB

[KOdawg1]

piss poor at-bat by Allen

[ChillOutDog]

We have no patience at the plate

It’s not that it’s a poor approach. We should be peppering the opposite field

[CadaverDawg]

Pathetic Stovall

[KOdawg1]

Equally as crappy at-bat by Stovall

[MarketingBully]

Man Gautreau has got to settle us down. We are taking shit approaches.

[KOdawg1]

This guy is our daddy

[ChillOutDog]

Give us one more Ethan

[RocketDawg]

Nice play by their SS.

[MarketingBully]

That was a worthless inning.

[msstate7]

They already defensive subbing.

Their IF defense makes this pitcher

[preachermatt83]

We in trouble.

[confucius say]

Ok I'm here now guys. We good. Bout to scratch right here.

Whoops. Forgot to open beer

[CadaverDawg]

Gautreau is going to lose the Head Coach In Waiting Title the fanbase is ready to give him at this pace. This guy is not THIS good.

[bostondawg]

We've played so many teams lately where it feels like they have a 100x better infield defense than us.

[HoopsDawg]

freshman are 0-10 tonight.

[preachermatt83]

I'm trying something else on offense, guys....we're about to put up a 2 spot

Didn’t work cadaver

[MarketingBully]

Nice play by their SS.

Still trying to pull the ball. They have two shortstops in the middle of the field covering shortstop and second base. We are falling into the trap of this guy.

[bostondawg]

Alright guys I'm popping open the Jameson. We good now.

[Dawgology]

He's averaging 10 pitches per inning. We are ****ed

[Skydawg1]

This is some Bobby Dalbec shit here tonight.

[CadaverDawg]

We've played so many teams lately where it feels like they have a 100x better infield defense than us.

You're right. This team and Vandy looked like a team full of Ozzie Smith's and Chipper Jones on D so far

[CadaverDawg]

We are going to lose to a guy that could be mistaken for the guy standing behind the L screen in the home run derby

[RocketDawg]

The announcers must be getting bored.

[I seen it dawg]

They gonna walk, passed ball, bunt, sac fly score. Ball game

[CadaverDawg]

Ethan is almost done

[CadaverDawg]

They gonna walk, passed ball, bunt, sac fly score. Ball game

Yeah, you just know the little ****er will beat us with his legs

[ChillOutDog]

Ethan is almost done

Gotta be his last inning

[maroonmania]

At this point we gotta just play for one run when given the chance.

[CadaverDawg]

Gotta be his last inning

Gotta think so

[HoopsDawg]

It's like I'm watching an 11 year old game that had to be played on a 300 foot field.

[Lord McBuckethead]

5 hits could get this guy out of the game. Problem is he keeps jamming out hitters. They need to look to slow their swings down and just push it the other way. Just go with the pitch.

[CadaverDawg]

Damn you Skelton

[preachermatt83]

Outstanding outing small. Prob our best outing by a starter all year. I think he can give us one more inning.

[Bdawg]

Damn Skelton you suck

[Bulldog1]

Please get a run here.

[confucius say]

Skelton is horrible at receiving pitches. I mean holy crap

[BrunswickDawg]

Helluva job by Small. I think he has 1 more in him.

[KOdawg1]

guys Ethan Small has brought it tonight

[CadaverDawg]

Hell of an outing by Small. Damn shame we can't give him a lick of run support

[maroonmania]

The announcers must be getting bored.

Heck, so am I.

[MarketingBully]

5 hits could get this guy out of the game. Problem is he keeps jamming out hitters. They need to look to slow their swings down and just push it the other way. Just go with the pitch.

Go with the pitch. That’s how you hit this guy. We are still trying to pull it.

[msstate7]

Come on LA

[Lord McBuckethead]

Getting a beer. Got to mix it up.

[Bdawg]

Why the hell skelton back there dancing with nobody on?? Just bad

[CadaverDawg]

It's going to be a heartbreaking loss for whichever team loses...because both of these pitchers deserve a W, and both teams will have offensive regrets

[MarketingBully]

Skelton is horrible at receiving pitches. I mean holy crap

That’s one position we have to upgrade next year.

[CadaverDawg]

Who coaches our catchers?

[preachermatt83]

Someone has to eventually score right? Geez.

[HoopsDawg]

still rolling over on these outside pitches.

[Really Clark?]

5 hits could get this guy out of the game. Problem is he keeps jamming out hitters. They need to look to slow their swings down and just push it the other way. Just go with the pitch.

Sorry but if he is jamming the hitters slowing their swings and going oppo is an incredibly difficult approach. That’s kinda of contradictory

[CadaverDawg]

Foscue even pulling it. He usually has a good approach

[msstate7]

Who coaches our catchers?
No one

[HoopsDawg]

That’s one position we have to upgrade next year.

Hayden Jones is a big time prospect.

[Bdawg]

If we are going to first pitch swing, at least make it a good one!!!!!!!!! Man damn

[Dawgology]

Gonna need to cut back to the girl dancing in the stands. Need more info

[RocketDawg]

That’s one position we have to upgrade next year.

Don't we have a big time catcher coming in from Huntsville next year?

[Bully13]

They gonna walk, passed ball, bunt, sac fly score. Ball game

Nope, we gonna win dis game.

[maroonmania]

None of our freshman can hit this guy.

[KOdawg1]

Piss poor at-bat by Fosc

[MarketingBully]

5 balls and Foscue strikes out swinging at 4 of them.

[CadaverDawg]

We aren't scoring on him. And he hasn't hit 70 pitches. We're done.

[RocketDawg]

Gonna need to cut back to the girl dancing in the stands. Need more info

The one in the maroon top? I didn't notice ....

[ChillOutDog]

Stupid stadium - not baseball

[CadaverDawg]

Damn. This park is bullshit

[preachermatt83]

This ball park is not even fun. What a joke.

[BrunswickDawg]

Damn this place plays bigger than the Grand Canyon

[msstate7]

I hate this park. Alexander hammered that

[maroonmania]

Ball didn't even make the track. Geez. We aren't scoring off this guy.

[Bulldog1]

I don't have a good feeling about this.

[KOdawg1]

At least Alexander came to hit. Tattooed that one

[MarketingBully]

Gautreau has to get our batters head out of their ass. This is embarrassing.

[msstate7]

This park is a joke

[CadaverDawg]

69 pitches through 7. Smh

[Dawgology]

Great strategy here. Keep their starter fresh so we can hammer him in the 9th**

[HoopsDawg]

LA caught all of that and it wasn't close to going out.

[preachermatt83]

This is not even normal baseball. This stadium is garbage.

[MarketingBully]

I hate this park. Alexander hammered that

Not even that but the wind is blowing 20 mph in so you ain’t hitting it out tonight.

[KOdawg1]

Our only hope is to make it to the 12th inning and get this guy out of the game.

[Lord McBuckethead]

He is only jamming our power hitters. Also, we shouldn't be swinging on the first strike pitch inside when we can't handle it. Look for one out over the plate for God's sake.

[ChillOutDog]

Damn. This park is bullshit

Like the US Open course today. Embarrassing at the sport’s premier event.

[CadaverDawg]

Oregon State's guy Monday will look like Randy damn Johnson after 9 innings of topping this shit

[preachermatt83]

Welp, it’s over.

[Hambone]

Come on JP. Keep em off the bases

[Lord McBuckethead]

This reminds me of the UCLA debacle where everyone knows you can't hit it out, but everyone is still swinging to do it.

[maroonmania]

JP France can either be really on or really off.

[msstate7]

NCAA has to get the CWS out of this park. Killing a ball won't even get it to the warning track at night. It seriously takes Aaron judge or Stanton to hit one out

[RocketDawg]

LA caught all of that and it wasn't close to going out.

So did their guy in the first inning.

[preachermatt83]

France hitting 95

[CadaverDawg]

Maybe I'm wrong, but when your Ace is sitting at 100 pitches and throwing a gem in Omaha, do you let him throw 120?

[HoopsDawg]

NCAA has to get the CWS out of this park. Killing a ball won't even get it to the warning track at night. It seriously takes Aaron judge or Stanton to hit one out

Or Hunter Renfroe. Main thing is the wind. It seems to always be blowing in.

[preachermatt83]

NCAA has to get the CWS out of this park. Killing a ball won't even get it to the warning track at night. It seriously takes Aaron judge or Stanton to hit one out

Agree 100 percent.

[Quaoarsking]

NCAA has to get the CWS out of this park. Killing a ball won't even get it to the warning track at night. It seriously takes Aaron judge or Stanton to hit one out

There would be huge backlash from the traditionalists, but the NCAA should bid it out to different sites around the country like the Final Four.

Nebraska isn't even close to the few areas that care about college baseball.

[RocketDawg]

Maybe I'm wrong, but when your Ace is sitting at 100 pitches and throwing a gem in Omaha, do you let him throw 120?

France doing ok though.

[preachermatt83]

Maybe I'm wrong, but when your Ace is sitting at 100 pitches and throwing a gem in Omaha, do you let him throw 120?

Absolutely u do.

[CadaverDawg]

This park killing the excitement of this sports premiere event, can't be good for college baseball.

[HoopsDawg]

Maybe I'm wrong, but when your Ace is sitting at 100 pitches and throwing a gem in Omaha, do you let him throw 120?

Not when said ace is a year removed from Tommy John.

[CadaverDawg]

NCAA has to get the CWS out of this park. Killing a ball won't even get it to the warning track at night. It seriously takes Aaron judge or Stanton to hit one out

Yep

[Dawgology]

This reminds me of the UCLA debacle where everyone knows you can't hit it out, but everyone is still swinging to do it.

Exactly what I've been thinking. It's about ball placement more than power hitting in this stadium.

[CadaverDawg]

Not when said ace is a year removed from Tommy John.

Fair point

[bostondawg]

Damn JP just hit 94 and 95 on those last two fastballs. phew.

[RocketDawg]

NCAA has to get the CWS out of this park. Killing a ball won't even get it to the warning track at night. It seriously takes Aaron judge or Stanton to hit one out

Can't do that. "Going to Omaha" is too traditional.

[Really Clark?]

Not when said ace is a year removed from Tommy John.

And getting treatment on his leg in between innings when he got hit earlier

[preachermatt83]

There would be huge backlash from the traditionalists, but the NCAA should bid it out to different sites around the country like the Final Four.

Nebraska isn't even close to the few areas that care about college baseball.

Looks like there is room to move the fences in about 15. That would be a start atleast.

[Cooterpoot]

Give’n my nanner to the wife. Gonna see if she can create some magic.

[maroonmania]

Its almost like they designed and built this park anticipating gorilla ball and then all of a sudden the NCAA killed the bats leaving it as a park you can't hit a HR out of. Wind almost always seems to be blowing in when we play there.

[bostondawg]

Give’n my nanner to the wife. Gonna see if she can create some magic.

Rooting for you... er, cooterpoot.

[preachermatt83]

This park killing the excitement of this sports premiere event, can't be good for college baseball.

+1

[msstate7]

Can't do that. "Going to Omaha" is too traditional.

This park is a joke though. Killing a ball at night isn't rewarded

[Bulldog1]

9, 1, 2 hitters due up. Let's get a run here.

[KOdawg1]

Can't do that. "Going to Omaha" is too traditional.

Then bring the fences in 10-15 feet

[RocketDawg]

Not when said ace is a year removed from Tommy John.

Seeing that wording made me think ... where's Mimi's Babies? Did she disappear when OM got let off the hook? I'll bet she was Steve's wife.

[BulldogBear]

I'm going to the kitchen to steal a banana from my wife's stash. Gonna eat it between innings. It's about to turn lads!

[preachermatt83]

I just think whoever scores first wins this game. And the winner has a really good shot at beating N.C. but the loser has a rough go trying to beat OSU

[maroonmania]

Come on, just 1 stinkin' run.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Let's get one here. Got to put the pressure on them for the ninth. Let's go.

[Cooterpoot]

Time to stop trying to pull every damn ball.

[bostondawg]

Great inning by JP! 9-1-2 coming up. Let's make some noise.

[RocketDawg]

Give’n my nanner to the wife. Gonna see if she can create some magic.

You have time for that during the game?

[MarketingBully]

9, 1, 2 hitters due up. Let's get a run here.

I think we can get to him here. Have to be patient at the plate. He’s not just using his fastball anymore. His other pitches suck. His fastball is what is good.

[Bully13]

I think it's high time they at least start rotating the sites. And I'm all for centrally locating in the heartland to fair as possible to all. But I've always heard and read that you don't win Omaha with the long ball since the bat changes and you recruit accordingly to whatever degree. This seems to be a surprise to some.

[BrunswickDawg]

Jake !

[BulldogBear]

I think one of you was just on tv?

[ChillOutDog]

Mangum!

[HoopsDawg]

Great Swing from Mangum.

[RocketDawg]

Got something going here now. Honestly, I wish they'd get back to the game ....

[msstate7]

Remember when Kyle Schwarber couldn't even hit the ball out here at night?

[notsofarawaydawg]

Got something going here now. Honestly, I wish they'd get back to the game ....

Shut up

[maroonmania]

First extra base hit of the night!

[HoopsDawg]

wow, glad they took that dude out.

[BrunswickDawg]

Holy cow, they yanked the guy?

[preachermatt83]

What in the world are they doing???

[KOdawg1]

Got something going here now. Honestly, I wish they'd get back to the game ....

I don't. That was touching.

[bostondawg]

You have time for that during the game?

He's got 60 seconds between innings.

[CadaverDawg]

Their coach is smart. We were about to break through.

[preachermatt83]

IMO Washington just cost themselves the game

This is bottom of the barrel, trash to post. You need to re-evaluate things.

There is bigger things in life than baseball and that story was proof.

[TheRef]

Repping hard

https://twitter.com/HailStateBB/status/1008180561855287296

[CadaverDawg]

They got a bunch of damn gold glovers out there. Shit

[KOdawg1]

Allen, now would be a good time for you to wake the 17 up and get a hit

[BulldogBear]

Good grief. We're still gonna be here 3 hours from now if we don't get a hit here.

[RocketDawg]

I don't. That was touching.

Was that the same as the post from the guy who said he was taking his dad to the game because he had or was getting Alzheimer's?

[Skydawg1]

This is bottom of the barrel, trash to post. You need to re-evaluate things.

There is bigger things in life than baseball and that story was proof.If this is the same Rocketdawg from the pack, he's been acting weird all night.

[ChillOutDog]

Damn we brought the talent in the stands

[CadaverDawg]

Need a wild pitch

[KOdawg1]

Choked

[ChillOutDog]

****!! Someone besides Jake has to step up!!!

[MarketingBully]

Tanner Allen garbage at the plate tonight....

[mparkerfd20]

Shit

[preachermatt83]

Ridiculous outing by our freshmen. Just awful

[RocketDawg]

This is bottom of the barrel, trash to post. You need to re-evaluate things.

There is bigger things in life than baseball and that story was proof.

Good grief. Calm down.

[maroonmania]

This has been the most non-clutch hitting we've done all postseason. We've had so many chances with a man in scoring position and just can't get a hit.

[confucius say]

Rowdy pissed on that ball and nothing to show for it. Bout 4 of those tonight.

[preachermatt83]

Tanner Allen garbage at the plate tonight....

Has been all post season

[Cooterpoot]

We’ve chopped 20 in front of the plate. Everybody trying to pull the ball. We in trouble now.

[msstate7]

Come on france

[maroonmania]

Tanner Allen garbage at the plate tonight....

I've wanted to flip MacNamee and Allen in the batting order for quite a while now. Allen hasn't had many hits lately.

[Bully13]

Well this is either starting to suck or here we go again. Let's see.

[BulldogBear]

Both MSU and UW will be starting OF on the mound tomorrow after tonight's 1-0 23 inning affair.

[CadaverDawg]

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/71/e1/63/71e163fae36f68ab4006cf04677c2099.gif

[KOdawg1]

They'll score right here, and that'll be all she wrote

[ChillOutDog]

Why yank France?!

[mparkerfd20]

Why why why did we pull France and put Gordon in? We are probably going extras

[HoopsDawg]

Gordon here? Why?

[msstate7]

What the hell, Henderson

[maroonmania]

We’ve chopped 20 in front of the plate. Everybody trying to pull the ball. We in trouble now.

We been in trouble. Why did we pull France so quickly?

[CadaverDawg]

Why did we pull France????

[confucius say]

Why not stay with France?

[preachermatt83]

What in the world is henderson doing. Good grief.

[BeardoMSU]

Yeah, lets hire this guy...

[bostondawg]

Or... not JP.

[KOdawg1]

Hey Henderson lovers, remember this moment if this turns south

[CadaverDawg]

I'm not believing Gary chooses NOW to pull someone early for the first time all year

[HoopsDawg]

Freshman 0-14 tonight.

[ChillOutDog]

What the hell, Henderson

Paging Rick Cleveland

[Bulldog1]

Why pull FRANCE?????????

[msstate7]

Ball 2 was a strike that Skelton fricked up

[HoopsDawg]

Why yank France?!

mindboggling, baffling, stupid. even if it works, it makes no sense.

[maroonmania]

Freshman 0-14 tonight.

Story of the ballgame right there.
