WHEW!

[MarketingBully]

Thank goodness. Start JP with a clean inning in the fifth.

[HoopsDawg]

We need 2 more from Pilk.

[MarketingBully]

Wheeeeeeewwwwwwwww. Come Pilk 3 more outs

We aren’t getting three more outs with him.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Doesn't matter. Fielder has to stay out of the base paths. Runner has to miss the ball.

[mparkerfd20]

Get MO RUNS!

[smootness]

We need 2 more from Pilk.

2 more innings? That is not happening.

[Cooterpoot]

Look at Pilk! Scares the hell out of you but works out of it every time. Have to think he's probably done now. He might get one shot next inning but he looks gassed.

[msstate7]

2 more innings? That is not happening.

Yeah, 2-4 hitters up in 5th. Can't let him face them

[Pit Bull]

Laura's blondeness was showing in that interview.....but she's still cute though!

[KOdawg1]

Pitiful Skelton

[I seen it dawg]

We have no one in the pen even stretching ****. We need neff and France down there now getting loose. Have to win this game.

[Bulldog1]

Yeah let France start 5th.

[msstate7]

We have no one in the pen even stretching ****. We need neff and France down there now getting loose. Have to win this game.

Wow

[msstate7]

Cohen praising westburg. Says he thinks he's a future 1st round 3b or 1b

[KOdawg1]

Good at-bat by Westburg. Made him throw pitches

[MarketingBully]

Man, sending Pilk. Hendo gambling again.

[msstate7]

Our bats need to find life

[Pit Bull]

Does Pilk have concentration issues or is it just mechanical? He runs every batter to 3-2, no matter how he starts.

[KOdawg1]

Pilk needs a short leash here. Short as in one batter reaching base short

[mparkerfd20]

VERY risky running Pilk back out. Hope it works out for you Hendo. *sigh*

[Lord McBuckethead]

Our bats will find life once we start breaking his tempo. Until then, Ks and pop outs.

[msstate7]

Pilk needs a short leash here. Short as in one batter reaching base short

Yep. I don't let him face another batter if someone reaches

[MarketingBully]

Our bats need to find life

It sucks balls that we are sitting here with a 3 run lead and eating our fingernails because we don’t trust Hendo to make the right bullpen moves.

[Pit Bull]

Man, sending Pilk. Hendo gambling again.

Guess he's trying to squeeze 5 out of Pilk. I can understand that, but he better be careful. Pilk wavers at all, like walks the first batter, I would pull him.

[CadaverDawg]

Can't believe Pilk is back in. Playing with fire. Should at least have someone ready

[msstate7]

Our bats will find life once we start breaking his tempo. Until then, Ks and pop outs.

Why are we not stepping out on him or squaring around while he's in the windup or something? Try and bother him

[Bulldog1]

James is in the pen.

[KOdawg1]

Keegan James? I don't hate it, but I don't love it

[mparkerfd20]

dang that was a good pitch called ball.

[I seen it dawg]

Come,on finish!!

[msstate7]

I was wrong. Staying with pilk was a good move

[Bulldog1]

Nice. 1-2-3 inning.

[I seen it dawg]

Huge inning! It's ****ing magic when you get ahead of hitters.

[MarketingBully]

That was Pilk’s best inning.

[mparkerfd20]

OK Hendo knows what he's doing. Pilk was straight dealing that inning.

[KOdawg1]

Hell yes, Pilk.

He scared the piss out of us, but a great outing by Pilk.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Much better on tempo that half.

[KOdawg1]

See what throwing strikes gets you?

[MarketingBully]

I was wrong. Staying with pilk was a good move

Yeah, we have all been wrong on here. Hendo’s gambling is Vegas worthy.

[confucius say]

5-6-7 due up in the 6th for them. Run Pilk out again?

[Cooterpoot]

Pilk might start the 6th now. Doubt it though.

[HoopsDawg]

Yeah, 2-4 hitters up in 5th. Can't let him face them

Y'all were saying?

[I seen it dawg]

Anything else out of Pilk is gravy. Bc he settled in there i run him back out to try to steal outs. But James has to be hot and ready.

[Pit Bull]

Bet Hendoo and Gautreau will be discussing Pilk and whether to let him go 6. Hmmmm....not sure about that myself. Pilk had his first short inning of the game. Maybe 6?

[Cooterpoot]

Keegan is a gamble this game too. Basically you're either saving Cole or France with him throwing.

[msstate7]

Y'all were saying?

Read a few posts up. I was first to admit I was wrong

[I seen it dawg]

Much better on tempo that half.

It's amazing how much easier it gets when strikes are thrown early.

[HoopsDawg]

Pilk might start the 6th now. Doubt it though.

95 pitches. I'd give him one more.

[confucius say]

Be really nice to scratch a run here. Extend the lead

[msstate7]

If pilk could steal 3 more, we could potentially go France for 2 and self for 1

[Lord McBuckethead]

We need something out of 1-6 hitters.

[Bulldog1]

I run Pilk back out but have pen hot.

[MarketingBully]

We have got to have Jordan and Allen if we are going to do anything else in this CWS.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Rowdey touched it.

[confucius say]

Rowdy and Allen should sit changeup. They will both get one to hammer.

Rowdy did on 0-0

[Lord McBuckethead]

Allen dead pull. That was on the outside edge and he pulled it.

[KOdawg1]

Allen could've stayed with that pitch and driven it to left. instead, he pull it and dribbles it to first.

[MarketingBully]

This is really sucking. Our hitting has to do something.

[confucius say]

0-0 changeup to Allen too

[Lord McBuckethead]

1,2,3 to answer. Alright Pilk get another 1,2,3. Eat up chances.

[mparkerfd20]

We can't hit this guy for shit. Our approach is atrocious for all of you GoTro loving folks.

[Dawgology]

Gosh.. the last two games we just swing at anything

[IMissJack]

We absolutely do not make pitchers work when we need to. Another 8 pitch inning by UNC. Still I'll take 4-1.

[Lord McBuckethead]

We should look opposite field on every swing. Let the ball get deep on you. Square it up. Let's get the bats hot.

[confucius say]

Better. Rowdy and Stovall hit balls hard there

[msstate7]

We absolutely do not make pitchers work when we need to. Another 8 pitch inning by UNC. Still I'll take 4-1.

We are last in the sec in offensive walks. Just isn't us

[msstate7]

Wow.

[NCDawg]

We're not doing a good job hitting their guy. Only hope appears to be to keep them from scoring.

[MarketingBully]

Allen. Not giving us shit.

[Bulldog1]

Terrible Allen.

[HoopsDawg]

Oh no.

[KOdawg1]

Shooting ourselves in the foot

[bostondawg]

Absolutely terrible.

[Cooterpoot]

Allen is garbage in this WS so far. Damn.

[I seen it dawg]

Can't be serious. Here's our **** up inning. He's done.

[Bulldog1]

Go get him now.

[msstate7]

Pick up your team mate, pilk

[Cooterpoot]

Pull Pilk. Playing with fire a little now. Pilk is an emotional guy an errors get him.

[smootness]

Totally agree with Peterson. Don't wait, get him now.

[msstate7]

Good out. Come on 6-4-3

[Cooterpoot]

Gary better guess right here.

[confucius say]

And he immediately goes 2-0 after the error. Last guy here

[msstate7]

5-4-3 will work

[Bulldog1]

Good out. Come on 6-4-3

5-4-3.

[HoopsDawg]

Yes!! Love Stovall.

[I seen it dawg]

Muther****er yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Huge 2 ball. Bring on the pen!

[MarketingBully]

Tanner Allen isn’t a first baseman. He just isn’t. You need a big target at first. Once again though our team picks up the others when they **** up.

[Cooterpoot]

Do it Pilk! Great game young man!! Great game!

[KOdawg1]

Konnor Pilkington, thank you

[confucius say]

Good out. Come on 6-4-3

Typo. 5

[BrunswickDawg]

Winning teams find the way to get out of jams

[smootness]

Great job of coming back that inning. Huge job by Pilkington. He was struggling but held it together for 6. I can't believe that.

[MarketingBully]

The team’s ability to pick each other up after someone messes up is unreal. I’ve never seen a team like this.

[confucius say]

lock in offensively. One run is huge right now

[mparkerfd20]

The hugeness of that dp can't be overstated

[Bulldog1]

Great job from Pilk today!

[BrunswickDawg]

Great job of coming back that inning. Huge job by Pilkington. He was struggling but held it together for 6. I can't believe that.

Sets us up to go France, Neff, Self for 7-8-9 - and still have bullets for tomorrow

[IMissJack]

Random observation: The UNC pitcher needs a smaller cap, his falls off on every other pitch.

[HoopsDawg]

Gordon now up with KJ. Interesting it's not France or Self.

[CadaverDawg]

Scary how good we've made some decent pitchers look in Omaha

[msstate7]

Sets us up to go France, Neff, Self for 7-8-9 - and still have bullets for tomorrow

Let's not play tomorrow

[Cooterpoot]

We can't touch this guy.

[confucius say]

Guy is living on outer black. Climb on the plate and let's see if he can pitch inside.

[I seen it dawg]

Come pen. 9 More outs

[HoopsDawg]

This pitcher has been awesome except for 1 pitch.

[TXDawg]

May have already been asked, but is that double leg hitch not a balk?

[Lord McBuckethead]

Nope. Just swing at everything.

[msstate7]

Pilk back in

[Bulldog1]

Who is coming in to pitch?

[NCDawg]

Their pitcher is making us look awful at the plate. Thank goodness for the grand slam.

[MarketingBully]

Guy is living on outer black. Climb on the plate and let's see if he can pitch inside.

He has one plus pitch and we are up there guessing. I’d be sitting fastball. That’s his pitch. Looks like we will need our pen to hold his lead up.

[KOdawg1]

This pitcher has been awesome except for 1 pitch.

Thank God for that one pitch, otherwise, we'd be down 1-0 right now

[Cooterpoot]

He's just throwing great. That two seam (what it looks like) is moving a lot.

[mparkerfd20]

4 runs may have to stand up. Come on bullpen

[confucius say]

Staying with Pilk.

8-9-1 due up?

[CadaverDawg]

Not sure why we wouldn't have Self, France warming. Does Henderson realize a win today and we DONT play tomorrow? No need to save arms

[Bulldog1]

Short leash.

[Cooterpoot]

We're going to try to save France for Friday to pair with JB. I'm guessing we see James but Cole if any issues.

[KOdawg1]

Pilk pumping 91 at pitch 109

[BrunswickDawg]

We can't touch this guy.

only need to once

[Cooterpoot]

Pilk? Holy hell Gary. Prayers requested.

[Bulldog1]

Get him out.

[msstate7]

Well crap.

[MarketingBully]

Wow...horribly bad.

[CadaverDawg]

Unbelievable. We always find a way to beat ourselves and make it interesting

[BrunswickDawg]

holy shit

[Commercecomet24]

Mac not wearing sunglasses and loses dang popup

[Cooterpoot]

Damn. Pilk rolling and out defense is garbage.

[TXDawg]

They scored that as a triple.

[mparkerfd20]

That's a game losing worthy error there

[BrunswickDawg]

Mac had no clue where that was

[KOdawg1]

Unbelievable

[IMissJack]

Sometimes we go to sleep.

[TXDawg]

Helluva game by Pilk.

[Bulldog1]

Cole Gordon coming in. I'm nervous.

[Cooterpoot]

Awesome job Pilk. He's still be in if not for terrible defense.

[smootness]

Sets us up to go France, Neff, Self for 7-8-9 - and still have bullets for tomorrow

We hopefully won't need those bullets tomorrow.

[msstate7]

Mac not wearing sunglasses and loses dang popup

Seriously, no sun glasses? I would flip out

[Cooterpoot]

This run is a given. Don't worry about it. Just get the outs.

[MarketingBully]

How do you not catch that?

[BrunswickDawg]

One run is not a killer. Bare down, throw strikes. Focus on the batter......
Gordon, I'm looking at you....

[Commercecomet24]

Pilk pitches his butt of today. No excuse for Mac not wearing shades.

[KOdawg1]

Gordon better have a short leash too. We don't have time for the Gordon-Henderson love fest today

[IMissJack]

Cole Gordon coming in. I'm nervous.

x2

[Lord McBuckethead]

Guy is living on outer black. Climb on the plate and let's see if he can pitch inside.

I agree. Get up on the plate. At least it will be equal to our approach for the past 5 innings.

[HoopsDawg]

Mac not wearing sunglasses and loses dang popup

Yep, no excuse not to have shades. Need to bring in Poole for the 9th.

[Dawgology]

MacNamee is having a terrible game. No hits and errors. Hopefully he pulls his head out of his ass for the next game.

[BrunswickDawg]

We hopefully won't need those bullets tomorrow.

Yeah, I meant Friday. Hopefully I didn't curse this MF

[Pit Bull]

Circle that 17up from MacNamee.....could very well be the play that gets us beat with a 1 way ticket home. Guess Mac got us here from Tallahassee and took us out in Omaha.

[confucius say]

Put sunglasses on now Mac and Rowdy 😎

[Offshore Dawg]

Seems like a lot of you are not on the same page as the coaching staff

[sandjunky]

Fully expect a 4 bagger here

[Commercecomet24]

Damage control here. Don't compound it just get 3 outs here without any further damage, even if we give up the 1

[NCDawg]

Gordon instead of France? I don't understand.

[RocketDawg]

Seriously, no sun glasses? I would flip out

Anybody wearng them? Don't see any.

[Cooterpoot]

Still no shades. Damn coaches....just damn.

[MarketingBully]

Everyone ****ing up.

[Bulldog1]

GET SKELTON OUT.

[I seen it dawg]

Lazy muther****er skelton

[BrunswickDawg]

Anybody wearng them? Don't see any.

Jake is

[msstate7]

Remember someone here saying self punched the wall last week? I wonder if he's hurt... seems if he was available, we'd have gone to Cole in 6th

[Commercecomet24]

MacNamee is having a terrible game. No hits and errors. Hopefully he pulls his head out of his ass for the next game.

Uh Mac had a hit and scored a run

[msstate7]

Anybody wearng them? Don't see any.

Can't see em on my radio.

Cohen snapping on Skelton lol

[MarketingBully]

How the hell is this team where it is? I mean seriously. We do this shit.

[RocketDawg]

Passed ball scores a run, the guy who got third on the outfield not-charged error.

[Dawgology]

Another Skelton run. Lmfao!!!

[Cooterpoot]

Feaking Skelton again. You've got to move.

[BrunswickDawg]

Good recovery Gordo

[IMissJack]

Who did not see that coming?

[KOdawg1]

Skelton is just lazy

[CadaverDawg]

Cohen ripping Skelton

We handed them that run

[Dawgology]

Uh Mac had a hit and scored a run

Didn't realize he had a hit been tracking it at work. Every time I've seen him up he has struck out

[BrunswickDawg]

Cohen ripping Skelton

We handed them that run

He should. His fundamentals are terrible

[Commercecomet24]

Skelton seriously needs some blocking drills.

[RocketDawg]

Jake is

Hard to tell with all the black crap on his face. :)

[Pit Bull]

Mangum didn't lose it because he's wearing sun glasses!

[BankerDog]

I don't give one rip if Dustin Skelton was drafted out of HS or not...he is not and will never be a SEC catcher. Has no defensive game and no defensive game. He needs to transfer. Worse catcher we've had in the last two decades.

[Bulldog1]

Good job from Gordon.

[Lance Harbor]

6 Outs..

[bigplayslay]

Is Gilbert hurt? I mean Skelton has no business in these games.

[BrunswickDawg]

Great job Gordo.

[mparkerfd20]

Not bad all considered

[RocketDawg]

Mangum didn't lose it because he's wearing sun glasses!

And because he's Mangum.

[I seen it dawg]

Great job Gordon. 6 More outs

[MarketingBully]

Six outs to get. And if we play errorless ball the rest of the way we should win. But if you’re a leader on this team how do you not rip into Mac on that error? How does he not have sunglasses out there or at least eye black?

[KOdawg1]

Okay Cole, I'm done doubting you. You've gotten pretty good

[Dawgology]

Tight game. Every error resulting in runs. Just need to sneak out of this one. I would feel wonderful if we could put just 1 more on the board.

[Bulldog1]

I'm wondering what's up with Gilbert. Someone ask Henderson after the game.

[CadaverDawg]

Cohen said the curve in the dirt was the right pitch to call...then said, "but Dusty, if you're gonna call that pitch you gotta block it. You called it, you gotta block it."

I agree

[confucius say]

They will have 3-4-5 up in the eighth. We can avoid turning their lineup over again

[Johnson85]

At least we get to see Skelton follow up the passed ball with a bad at bat.

[bostondawg]

Gordon is never the type to be an overpowering starter, but god you'd want 10 of him on your roster--a dude who can come in and pound strikes in the zone.

[BrunswickDawg]

Six outs to get. And if we play errorless ball the rest of the way we should win. But if you’re a leader on this team how do you not rip into Mac on that error? How does he not have sunglasses out there or at least eye black?

Or use his glove as a sun shield. Or stop running when you lost the ball in the sky

[louisvilledawg]

Cohen ripping Skelton

We handed them that run

Cohen? Explain plz

[mparkerfd20]

I don't give one rip if Dustin Skelton was drafted out of HS or not...he is not and will never be a SEC catcher. Has no defensive game and no defensive game. He needs to transfer. Worse catcher we've had in the last two decades.

I echo this sentiment. Horrible hitter and worst catcher in my lifetime. Hate to rundown one of our own, but it's true.

[msbulldog]

C'mon Dawgs need some runs!

[louisvilledawg]

At least we get to see Skelton follow up the passed ball with a bad at bat.

Can't wait

[bigplayslay]

Cohen? Explain plz

He’s on the radio with Jim

[KOdawg1]

First hit since the 2nd inning, right?

[msbulldog]

Cohen? Explain plz

JC is in the booth with Jim Ellis.

[Johnson85]

At least we get to see Skelton follow up the passed ball with a bad at bat.

Reverse jinx comes through again.

[BrunswickDawg]

Skelton with a bloop! Lets get that run back

[bostondawg]

b l o o p

[confucius say]

Bunt and they will walk jake to face rowdy

[Lord McBuckethead]

Mangum needs to bunt here.

[bigplayslay]

Let’s go. Westburg is the only freshman with a hit in Omaha and he’s got two now. Big time game

[Bulldog1]

Pinch running for Skelton.

[KOdawg1]

Jordan Westburg is the only freshman who's hit worth a shit so far

[BrunswickDawg]

Westie! two on

[ChillOutDog]

Mangum needs to bunt here.

You’re high

[I seen it dawg]

Thank god skelton is out

[confucius say]

Bunt jake? Only if for a hit

[mparkerfd20]

Take him out. Leave him in.

[KOdawg1]

Pinch running for Skelton.

WHY didn't we do that immediately?! It could be 1st and 3rd with no outs if Anderson had been running to begin with

[Lord McBuckethead]

Mangum bunt for single coming up. Take the dp out of play and get 2 and 3 1 out worst case.

[Bulldog1]

WHY didn't we do that immediately?! It could be 1st and 3rd with no outs if Anderson had been running to begin with

Yep. I agree.

[rolodawg]

Is it just me, or does Anderson look like Pedro Martinez?

[smootness]

Pinch running for Skelton.

So he doesn't have to be in the game...

[ChillOutDog]

**** yeah!!!

We’re giving a stupid out with our best hitter and they do that haha

[I seen it dawg]

Freshman

[Bulldog1]

Huge! Come on Jake, drive these guys in.

[msstate7]

IBB to Jake? Got to... finish this, rowdey

[MarketingBully]

Bases loaded no one out.

[I seen it dawg]

Rowdey is due and will have a pro at bat here

[Bulldog1]

So he doesn't have to be in the game...

Don't know why we don't start Gilbert.

[MarketingBully]

We need Rowdy here.

[Lord McBuckethead]

GoTro talking Rowdey up. Here we go.

[mparkerfd20]

Come on ROWDY!

[MarketingBully]

I gotta tell you guys. Jordan Anderson is a hell of a player. We need to find him a spot in the lineup next year.

[mparkerfd20]

Here comes a lefty pitcher.

[RocketDawg]

Is it possible NOT to score here?

[BrunswickDawg]

Go ahead UNC, burn more arms...

[mparkerfd20]

Calling a Rowdy double.

[msstate7]

Love that we shunned the bunt there with westburg. Almost 90% of college coaches probably do, which results in IBB for Mangum

[msbulldog]

Need to base hit it and keep it going.

[msstate7]

Calling a Rowdy double.

Deep fly to RF will be fine with me

[bigplayslay]

Big time to get their starter out. Let’s get it dawgs

[DownwardDawg]

I would hate to take my blood pressure right now. Damn

[I seen it dawg]

Is it possible NOT to score here?

Are you serious?!? Why would you even type that! What the **** is wrong with you!

[KOdawg1]

I gotta tell you guys. Jordan Anderson is a hell of a player. We need to find him a spot in the lineup next year.

LF, Rowdey to 2nd when Stovall leaves

[confucius say]

Are you serious?!? Why would you even type that! What the **** is wrong with you!

Damn near ban worthy

[RocketDawg]

Damn near ban worthy

Haha. WE're gonna score at least 3.

[Johnson85]

Damn near ban worthy

It's not damn near. SHould at least have to set up a new account for that. I guess he couldn't find an indian burial ground handy to piss on.

[ChillOutDog]

Rowdey is due and will have a pro at bat here

Nailed it! Great 2 Strike approach

[I seen it dawg]

Hahahahahahahahaha little ****er wasn't striking out!

[BankerDog]

It'll be interesting to see how we play it next year. If Stovall leaves, do you move Rowdey down to second and let Anderson play LF? Or do you kick Allen out to LF and have Hatcher play 1B? Gotta think Westburg is gonna want his shot at SS sooner rather than later and if Halter comes to campus that's just more competition.

[RocketDawg]

Haha. WE're gonna score at least 3.

See?? :

[Bulldog1]

Huge!!!

[bigplayslay]

Rowdey Allen 1-2 punch is out of the slump!
