OSU vs ARK

[MoreCowbell]

I hate we are not playing in it but Im pretty excited to watch OSU vs ARK. Cant remember the last time two teams this good faced off in championship and I legit dont know who will win. OSU is a pretty big favorite which surprises me. I think teams are pretty even. Pulling for OSU, I dont want ARK to be able to claim they have a higher ranking all time in baseball. ARK has 9 CWS trips and 0 titles and we have 10 CWS trips and 0 titles. Plus Wes Johnson can kiss my ass.

Who do yall predict wins it all?

I feel you. I just love good college baseball and this series intrigues me

[Activated Alpha]

Want OSU to win with the midget getting beamed in the nuts by a foul ball

[Bothrops]

Yeah pulling for OSU here as well. Not because I have anything against Arkansas, but because it would be one more SEC school that's won a championship that we haven't won.

[5049]

Arkansas' pitching advantage has pretty much been leveled out, with the rain delay. Heimlech now has 5 days rest under his belt, and Fehmel (sp) will have 4 tomorrow. They then can bring that Abel guy back with 4 days as well

Or.....go with their 4th guy today, then hav Heimlech and Fehmel on normal rest, essentially

I'd go option 1 though, Abel is pretty good, and that's apparently what they are doing per twitter

[dawgs]

Also pulling for Oregon state for the same reasons y'all listed, I don't want another sec program claiming superiority over us cause they have a natty. Plus we compete with Arkansas for players.

[MoreCowbell]

I havent watched much of Arkansas in the CWS but I have a hard time seeing anyone slow down OSU. They are a train rolling right now. If ARK beats them they sure will have earned it.

[Turfdawg67]

I'm not an SEC rah rah guy. 17 UPig

[RocketDawg]

I think OSU will win, especially if they play like they did against us. Looks like Heimlich is pitching tonight.

[I seen it dawg]

Hey Skelton...Pay attention to Oregon st catcher. It's what you are supposed to do. Block the ****ing baseball and not be ****ing lazy.

[SailingDawg]

Rather large representation of Hogs in the stadium.

[RocketDawg]

Rather large representation of Hogs in the stadium.

It's a fairly short trip for them since they all live in Fayetteville. Of course, they have a fair number of trailers to mortgage as we do, so it's a financial burden on them ....

[RocketDawg]

OSU is having a meltdown.

[Turfdawg67]

Hey Skelton...Pay attention to Oregon st catcher. It's what you are supposed to do. Block the ****ing baseball and not be ****ing lazy.

What's the point of this? Highly doubt Skelton reads this site.

[MarketingBully]

How the hell do you not have your guys warming up at the beginning of that inning. Casey was dumb as shit there and might have cost them the title right there.

That terrible interference call totally changed this game

Another SEC team about to claim a title in our sport

Oh well

[MarketingBully]

And Arkansas getting breaks we couldn’t buy the last two games. Madrigal had a freaking error!

[MarketingBully]

Have they even had any hits this inning for their 4 run outburst? Wasn’t it two walks and two hit batsmen? Where was this OSU team against us?

[RocketDawg]

They fielded and pitched like a major league team against us, and now this. The relief pitcher finally threw a couple of strikes though.

[RocketDawg]

And an error that could've been a double play.

[Barkman Turner Overdrive]

They kept Molesto in too long. Give the Razornecks the trophy right now.

[MarketingBully]

4 walks two hit batsmen and an error scored 4 runs. OSU put up 4 runs for the Hogs there.

[Turfdawg67]

They may go after GoTro.***

[RocketDawg]

4 walks two hit batsmen and an error scored 4 runs. OSU put up 4 runs for the Hogs there.

I think they had a couple of hits early on in the inning though.

[RocketDawg]

That may have been closer than a half inch. I guess if they're going to have replays they need to use high-speed cameras.

[Todd4State]

They kept Molesto in too long. Give the Razornecks the trophy right now.

I hate it for him.**

[CadaverDawg]

Oregon State walked nobody and made no errors it seemed like against us in two games, so of course they implode vs Ark

[MarketingBully]

And the ump’s have been decidedly in favor of the hogs with the bullshit interference and the foul that was fair. I think Kwan would have scored and their other guy gets to second. The ump’s practically took 2 runs off the board for OSU.

[RocketDawg]

And they just keep on walking batters.

[I seen it dawg]

What's the point of this? Highly doubt Skelton reads this site.

Because i felt like it. And I'm right. What's the point of you responding to it? Post police

[Todd4State]

Because i felt like it. And I'm right. What's the point of you responding to it? Post police

I'm pretty shocked that people didn't run on us more to be honest with you. I think one of the turning points in the CWS was after we took a 1-0 lead on Oregon State Madrigal gets on and then steals second and third. That's just demoralizing. And embarrassing.

[5049]

Well this sucks, guess I just have to get over it

We are now about #6 or #7 in the SEC

Much better than Ole Miss I guess

[RocketDawg]

I guess you noticed the OSU guy tried to stretch a single just like Mangum did and killed what could have been a rally. Only thing is ... he is way slower than Mangnum. I think Jake would have made it on that ball.

[KOdawg1]

Sucks that Arky will win a natty before us

[Barkman Turner Overdrive]

I hate it for him.**

I didn’t mean that as a positive. No reason why you can add UPig as an SEC school with a baseball national championship before we get one.

ETA: Especially when we beat these inbreds from the Ozarks the very same season they win it all.

[Skydawg1]

This 17ing sucks, but OSU is 4-0 in elemination games. Their starter tomorrow night better bring it. Also, this is on Cohen. He's the one who brought Wes Johnson into the SEC. Van Horn said..."hmmm..."

Teams Cohen has personally allowed to win their first natty:
UCLA
Coastal Carolina (via Arizona via Starkville Super Reg)
Arkansas

***here's my scarcastricks but I'm not really even kidding.

I don't really care who wins, but Oregon State beat us twice in a row, so there's no reason they can't be Arkansas twice in a row.

HOGS.

[Skydawg1]

Yep, they've done it all post-season. We'll see.

ETA: Especially when we beat these inbreds from the Ozarks the very same season they win it all.

The way I look at it that should give our players more confidence that they can do it themselves.

[preachermatt83]

The guys a joke ISID... He?s always got a smart alleck statement but never adds anything of substance to the board.

[Pit Bull]

They kept Molesto in too long. Give the Razornecks the trophy right now.

Announcer did say that winners of game one had a 74% chance of winning the whole shebang!....so our division brothers appear to be in the driver's seat for their first natty.

[Turfdawg67]

The guys a joke ISID... He?s always got a smart alleck statement but never adds anything of substance to the board.

Yup. ^^^This

[Cooterpoot]

I haven't been that impressed with OSU pitching this whole CWS. They've got a couple good relievers but the starting pitching has looked very overrated. Sucks we lost Wes Johnson to Upig. He's the difference maker there that put them over the top.

[RocketDawg]

Game 2 is tied 0-0 in the bottom of the 2nd with 2 on, 2 outs.

[ShotgunDawg]

Boy, Oregon State just can't catch a break in this series.

Arkansas got a HBP on a pitch that didn't hit the batter

That being said, Oregon State' pitchers are cream puffs.

Arkansas appears to be the much tougher, more challenged team

[RocketDawg]

Ark just scored on a wild pitch/passed ball (probably the latter), then walked the next batter to load the bases.

Wish OSU had played like this against us.

I didn't see that one ... must've been reading the board.

[MarketingBully]

Why couldn’t OSU play like this against us? They are hitting batters, walking batters, committing errors. They didn’t do any of this shit against us.

I didn’t think the ball hit the guy either.

[RocketDawg]

I kinda like the Capital One ad with Mona Lisa and Leonardo. Much better than the Snickers ad (which isn't saying much).

[RocketDawg]

I don't think I'd stand in line for over 12 hours to see anything.

[Turfdawg67]

I was just typing how did this high powered offense go to sh*t and then OSU hits a dinger! Maybe if I keep typing they'll take the lead.

[MarketingBully]

Looks like the way you beat OSU is be patient at the plate and throw strikes. That’s what Arkansas has been doing.

[Dawgcap]

Oregon State plays the elimination game and underdog role like Miss State. But they are more talented than we are. They excel when they have something to prove. I may be totally wrong but I’d be scared if I was Arkansas like I was as a State fan

[Dawgcap]

Great bunt!

[MarketingBully]

Arkansas hasn’t played well either. They’ve just taken advantage of every Beaver mistake. If OSU puts a crooked number up here, they could use the momentum to take the next two games.

[Percho]

I believe over all we are just as good as these two teams. They both have a little more power than us but power doesn't always win the game.

[Dawgcap]

It makes we sick we aren’t playing tonight but I still think the 2 best teams are playing tonight. Both teams are showing nerves but I think they have handled their nerves the best. I hope OSU wins it so we at least get eliminated by the only top 10 team to have a winning record against us

[msstate7]

Ark is lucky as frick

[Dawgcap]

These guys are hitting a guy we couldn’t touch. Damn they can hit. Still look for the Beavers to win this game and tomorrow but both these teams are good! I

[MarketingBully]

Ark is lucky as frick

Yep, that inning was setup by two ****ing flares.

[MarketingBully]

These guys are hitting a guy we couldn’t touch. Damn they can hit. Still look for the Beavers to win this game and tomorrow but both these teams are good! I

Are you serious? They hit two balls that were pop ups that fell because the Beavers were positioned poorly. They haven’t hit worth a shit for this whole series.

[Dawgcap]

I believe over all we are just as good as these two teams. They both have a little more power than us but power doesn't always win the game.

Not arguing on talent but I still think we were a year away in maturity and depth.

[msstate7]

Casey's love affair with the bunt bites him again

[Dawgcap]

Casey's love affair with the bunt bites him again

Runner on third 0 outs. Why bunt??

[MarketingBully]

Ark is lucky as frick

This. Arkansas has gotten every ****ing break. That was barely a catch and should have at least been reviewed as it looked trapped but how the hell does a ball stay up long enough for a pitcher to catch that?

[ShotgunDawg]

I believe over all we are just as good as these two teams. They both have a little more power than us but power doesn't always win the game.

No

Arkansas is better than us at most every position on the field.

[MarketingBully]

College umpiring sucks. If this is the best of the best in college baseball, I’m not impressed.

[Dawgcap]

Casey bitching about a bad call after his dumbass call

[MarketingBully]

No

Arkansas is better than us at most every position on the field.

Which is why we swept them.

[MarketingBully]

Casey bitching about a bad call after his dumbass call

He was right. The guy went around.

[RocketDawg]

Casey's love affair with the bunt bites him again

Good thing we didn't hire him! **

[RocketDawg]

That ball was outside by 6 inches.

[Cooterpoot]

1. Bunting is stupid 90% of the time.
2. You’ve got a great hitting team.
3. Fly ball ties it.

Just ignorant ass baseball.

[MarketingBully]

That ball was outside by 6 inches.

Yep and it’s been a strike to righties all night. Makes sense doesn’t it?

[MarketingBully]

Well fellas, Arkansas going to win a title in baseball and will make the 5th different team to win it that isn’t us. Six SEC teams have won titles as Missouri even has won the CWS. Polk couldn’t even get us one in 85. That to me was shit.

[Dawgcap]

If we do like Mississippi we can claim a title if Arkansas wins! But I still say Oregon State wins it all

[RocketDawg]

That Arkansas catcher that was supposed to school Skelton just had a passed ball ... and it might've been game-winning important.

[Goldendawg]

What caused us to have so many TJ's with one year with Wes Johnson and now Arky's pitchers are about to help win the WS?

[Skydawg1]

Imagine the crowd if both State and UPig had made it. How would they make that work? 50/50?

[RocketDawg]

Even though we're not playing, this is a really good game tonight ... worthy of a final game, or next-to-final if OSU finds some way to come back.

[Dawgcap]

Watch the 9th inning rally. I’m calling it so you can probably count on it like my call on Saturday!ha

[msstate7]

Walk em

[confucius say]

Don't bunt Pat Casey

[RocketDawg]

Watch the 9th inning rally. I?m calling it so you can probably count on it like my call on Saturday!ha

They're trying. Cronin (edit: wrong name. He's the pitcher) pulled two really deep, then walked. Thought for a minute they might run out of baseballs with him pulling foul balls.

[msstate7]

Pull it back and swing

[msstate7]

Good bunt.

[Dawgcap]

Fun game

[RocketDawg]

Madrigal's practice swings look like he's playing cricket.

[msstate7]

Wild pitch

[RocketDawg]

Somebody should've caught that one. Probably follow up with a HR now.

[ShotgunDawg]

Which is why we swept them.

And the worst team in MLB is guaranteed 50+ wins every year.

It's baseball, but Arkansas does have a better player than us at most every position on the field

[Skydawg1]

oof

[Percho]

How sweet

[msstate7]

HahahajajahahHHHaaahaha

[RocketDawg]

Watch the 9th inning rally. I’m calling it so you can probably count on it like my call on Saturday!ha

You called it! Like I said ... the shoulda caught that ball.

[Percho]

It is?

[Dawgcap]

Not to be a smart ass but if who blames coaching there?

[Todd4State]

What caused us to have so many TJ's with one year with Wes Johnson and now Arky's pitchers are about to help win the WS?

There are a lot of factors that go into play but I guess the best way to make an analogy would be to say that if you go to the gym and overload on weights and do too much too soon and aren't careful about form you are at a higher risk of injury. But if you do the weight and strength training program over an appropriate period of time and spread it out you will see the benefits of it and be able to do so much more safely.

[RocketDawg]

The game could go on all night now.

[Percho]

It is sweet

[RocketDawg]

Wow ....

[msstate7]

Wes Johnson not winning crap.

[Dawgcap]

Always scare a underdog elite team! You have to kill them when you can

[starkvegasdawg]

Hogs gonna be reliving that pop up in their nightmares for years to come.

[Skydawg1]

Wowowowowowow

[RocketDawg]

OSU will certainly be motivated to play defense now.

[Activated Alpha]

That was a monster blast

[maroonmania]

Arkansas overrunning that pop fly that would have meant the championship is about the most MState thing ever. I'll be shocked if Arkansas wins the championship now.

[Goldendawg]

Hogs gonna be reliving that pop up in their nightmares for years to come.

Yeah, that was as bad as Artie Cosby's field goal getting blown back.

[Percho]

Do ya'll remember that pop up in front the plate against USM?

[RocketDawg]

The two blondes just to the left of the batter ... how do they get such seats, within the little boxed off area? Are they stadium owners or something? I'm sure everybody's noticed them ... both are in black.

[RocketDawg]

Yeah, that was as bad as Artie Cosby's field goal getting blown back.

I can't believe that you remember players' names that far back. I have trouble from one year to the next. **

[shoeless joe]

The two blondes just to the left of the batter ... how do they get such seats, within the little boxed off area? Are they stadium owners or something? I'm sure everybody's noticed them ... both are in black.

Yes I've noticed. They're def not Arkansas fans

[Dawgcap]

I’m a huge State guy and I know this ain’t been pretty but if you can see and appreciate our run this year I feel bad for you! The difference in these two teams to ours is obvious but we are these teams next year!

[Goldendawg]

Not if we don't find more than one SEC quality starting pitcher.

[RocketDawg]

For sure, without the **'s. I'll take the one on our right; you can have the other.

[Goldendawg]

I can't believe that you remember players' names that far back. I have trouble from one year to the next. **

Got a ton of good detailed memories even in some mighty bad (years/decades). My late Dad raised me right. I 63 now and he started carrying me to State games in 1963. Family has had season FB tickets 50 plus years. I now carry my hardcore State 17 year old son and go with 6 other family members. Hail State!

[RocketDawg]

What a fantastic game.

[shoeless joe]

No way arky wins tomorrow after losing it like that.

[Dawgcap]

They aren’t gonna be denied! We got beat by a better team but even better we got beat by the team of destiny! They ar us with more talent! I’m a fan

[RocketDawg]

Gotta feel bad for the Hogs though. They were sooooo close. Just catch that one ball.

[Irondawg]

I felt for the Hogs because I could totally see us blowing a national championship that way.

[msstate7]

No way arky wins tomorrow after losing it like that.

I said the same thing to myself when vandy walked us off.

I think Oregon State wins though

[5049]

I said the same thing to myself when vandy walked us off.

I think Oregon State wins though

Yeah but you can’t look back on a routine play that gets made 99 of 100 times by a college player, in our Vandy game

Baseball players have short memories, but that’s hard to forget

[Jack Lambert]

No way arky wins tomorrow after losing it like that.

I am somewhere between not giving a shit to pulling for OSU. Arkansas fans are the candy ass red neck version of a ole miss fan.

[Dawgcap]

I am somewhere between not giving a shit to pulling for OSU. Arkansas fans are the candy ass red neck version of a ole miss fan.

This is a no doubter to me. If OSU wins that’s the only top 10 team we had a losing record to. We have shown we have arrived either way but I respect how OSU has fought! They are us with a bit more talent!

[Skydawg1]

What was that stupid production Ole Miss made several years ago..."Three outs from Omaha" or something. UPigs gonna be "Foul Ball For It All".

[Todd4State]

This is a no doubter to me. If OSU wins that’s the only top 10 team we had a losing record to. We have shown we have arrived either way but I respect how OSU has fought! They are us with a bit more talent!

IMO if our pitching and defense was just a little bit better I think we take Oregon State. And I think we will be better at both next year.

[Todd4State]

What was that stupid production Ole Miss made several years ago..."Three outs from Omaha" or something. UPigs gonna be "Foul Ball For It All".

Stupid? That's one of my favorite documentaries. It pretty much sums up the entire Mike Bianco era.

[MoreCowbell]

Once those 3 ARK players missed that foul pop up giving OSU guy a 2nd chance I knew what was going to happen. Seen it too many times.

[parabrave]

Yes I've noticed. They're def not Arkansas fans

Go to Bryant Arkansas. It seemed that every mom in their lil league, Cal Ripken, was a hot well endowed blonde. We coaches never did mind playing them.

[Pit Bull]

Hey Skelton...Pay attention to Oregon st catcher. It's what you are supposed to do. Block the ****ing baseball and not be ****ing lazy.

That's a serious weakness we have going into next year. Got to fix the catcher situation and need a good hard throwing RH starter and another LH starter. Bullpen needs some more help also. Everything else is in reasonably good shape....maybe work on our hitting techniques.

[5049]

This is a no doubter to me. If OSU wins that?s the only top 10 team we had a losing record to. We have shown we have arrived either way but I respect how OSU has fought! They are us with a bit more talent!

I think this is the secret for winning it all in college baseball

Very few of these super high talented teams win it all, Flarrda last year is the best example

[Turfdawg67]

IMO if our pitching and defense was just a little bit better I think we take Oregon State. And I think we will be better at both next year.

You think our hitting against OSU was okay? I get your love for GoTro but we had 9 hits and 4 runs in 2 games.
