USM Game-3 Thread

[The Federalist Engineer]

Skelton to DH

Landon Jordan at 2B

Hayden Jones at C

[msbulldog]

Damn I hate the girls game starts at the same time, Girls on TV, Guys on laptop. Hail State!

[WSOPdawg]

Have not been impressed so far with Halter's bat in the lineup so here's hoping Landon Jordan can find some success at the plate while making the routine plays in the field.

[HoopsDawg]

Skelton to DH

Landon Jordan at 2B

Hayden Jones at C

I like the move there by Lemonis. Hope it works out.

[skadoosh14]

Moving Skelton to DH and starting Jones is the right move. I really like the decision making so far by Lemonis.

[HoopsDawg]

Hayden's got to block that ball. He can hit and throw. Just going to need reps to get the receiving part down.

[skadoosh14]

Imagine if we had Carter Stewart as our Sunday starter.

[HoopsDawg]

Really nice move by Lemo to put Wallner on after falling behind 3-1. I like it.

[ZedFedder]

How hard is K. James fastball?

[chef dixon]

Not really sure what the USM player was looking at on that strike 3

[HoopsDawg]

How hard is K. James fastball?

92-94. He can bring it with a good change up.

[chef dixon]

5 pitches 5 swings lol, but how about that 2b by Westburg

[skadoosh14]

Hahaha what a double by Westburg!

[HoopsDawg]

Westy deserved that hit after a couple of ropes he hit right at people yesterday.

[ZedFedder]

92-94. He can bring it with a good change up.

Wow. Did not know he had that kind of Velo. That’s not bad for a Sunday guy!

[skadoosh14]

HAYDEN JONES HAS A FKN CANNON

[HoopsDawg]

what a freakin cannon.

[maroonmania]

HAYDEN JONES HAS A FKN CANNON

Apparently his reputation hasn't gotten around yet. Not a smart move to try and run on Jones.

[mparkerfd20]

Holy shit he beat the guy by 3 steps. What a cannon

[chef dixon]

Skelton not hustling on that run to 1st

[skadoosh14]

Skelton not hustling on that run to 1st

Yep. If he'd have run through it would have been an easy safe.

[TNDawg35]

Skelton not hustling on that run to 1st

Skelton thought he had a hit and jogged. Pathetic...

[maroonmania]

Skelton not hustling on that run to 1st

Exactly, if Skelton was going all out he would have been safe.

[skadoosh14]

Skelton ran to first about as fast as he throws to second.

[RocketDawg]

Any score yet? Watching women's basketball game.

[maroonmania]

We need to quit upper cutting the ball given the wind today like Rowdey just did. Ball is not going to go anywhere.

[maroonmania]

Keegan having control problems. Just put the lead off guy on in the 3rd with a walk.

[CadaverDawg]

Keegan needs to throw strikes. C'mon man, you're a veteran, can't be walking the leadoff guy

[chef dixon]

Im surprised they went to the bunt there with James throwing nothing but balls

[CadaverDawg]

Any score yet? Watching women's basketball game.

1-0 Dawgs, but USM with a RISP

[maroonmania]

Keegan needs to throw strikes. C'mon man, you're a veteran, can't be walking the leadoff guy

Yep, he put a very fast guy on that can't hit.

[CadaverDawg]

Easy to see how Guidry gets hit so much...he leans over the plate

[chef dixon]

Keegan needs to let this dude try and steal 3rd

[CadaverDawg]

Big K

[maroonmania]

USM gets the run in off the walk.

[CadaverDawg]

Damn it. 1-1 on a RBI single. Walk comes around to score. DONT WALK PEOPLE

[chef dixon]

They certainly aren't giving us any easy outs

[CadaverDawg]

James is struggling. Hate to see him having control issues. We could have a monster rotation if he will pitch to his potential

[maroonmania]

Keegan's control is way off. Wild pitch puts another man in scoring position now.

[CadaverDawg]

54 pitches and he's not out of the 3rd yet. Better get the pen warm. Gotta throw strikes, Keegan

[The Federalist Engineer]

Pull Keegan - he is not throwing strikes gotta go - everyone is fresh in the pen

Should have pulled sooner

[CadaverDawg]

That's an out if James doesn't tip it. Shit. Bases loaded

[mparkerfd20]

Keegan isn't on today ar all.

[CadaverDawg]

Eagan warming up

[maroonmania]

Seems every hit USM has gotten this weekend has been with 2 strikes. Big AB here with bases loaded.

[CadaverDawg]

Even his strikes are poorly located

[CadaverDawg]

Damn that was a strike! If he had been locating that was a K

[CadaverDawg]

Whew. Fly out to LF. Get Keegan out

[The Federalist Engineer]

Eagan warming up

Good call with all their lefties

[maroonmania]

Whew. Fly out to LF. Get Keegan out

Fortunate to get out of that with 1 run. Keegan isn't going to last much longer. Hope we have someone ready. Reggie Perry chowing down in the outfield!

[CadaverDawg]

I was looking forward to seeing Keegan pitch today after last weekend and seeing how well Small & Ginn pitched....but that was a disappointing outing. Hopefully that's not the James we get all year, or we'll be moving Plumlee to Sunday

[maroonmania]

USM guy throwing junk and giving us fits. Only thrown 20 pitches so far.

[chef dixon]

Westburg is a player

[skadoosh14]

Second double by Westburg today!

[chef dixon]

Nice! Lucky Tanner wasn't hosed at 3rd

[skadoosh14]

Tanner Allan would've been out at 3rd if he didn't get pegged in the back ;)

[chef dixon]

3-1 MSU, men on 2nd and 3rd, 1 out, B3

[CadaverDawg]

Garbage call. Outside

[skadoosh14]

That was not a strike.

[maroonmania]

god awful call for strike 3 on Foscue

[mparkerfd20]

That called 3rd strike was a foot outside. Not even close

[maroonmania]

Garbage call. Outside

Huge too given the situation.

[chef dixon]

I will say he's been giving the outside strike consistently, although they have all been balls

[mparkerfd20]

This ump is total garbage. Geesh I dont remember seeing one so bad

[maroonmania]

I will say he's been giving the outside strike consistently, although they have all been balls

Because he positioned way on the inside so he can see that pitch. He doesn't have a clue what's going on with pitch to the outside because he can't see them.

[Choctaw Dawg]

Liebelt pitching

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

I will say he's been giving the outside strike consistently, although they have all been balls

Yeah but that was more off than usual. More of it was over the batters box pain than the turf between the shit and the plate. Even where the catcher framed it was well off the plate

[HoopsDawg]

We are 5 years away from a computerized zone hopefully.

[HoopsDawg]

Because he positioned way on the inside so he can see that pitch. He doesn't have a clue what's going on with pitch to the outside because he can't see them.

man, you are right. There is bad positioning by the ump.

[ZedFedder]

Liebelt’s ball moving all over the place. Looks good.

[mparkerfd20]

He just missed that pitch that should've been a K. He is positioned wrong on every pitch.

[chef dixon]

We are due for some of these cheap hits after Friday

[skadoosh14]

Mother nature must be a State fan today

[I seen it dawg]

Come on rowdey situational hitting. Get something to pull to right side.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Our best O is their crappy D

[I seen it dawg]

Like how Landon puts ball in play with authority. Play him over Halter.

[chef dixon]

Westburg bust with the bases juiced, 1 out

[maroonmania]

No way to hit that ball!!!

[skadoosh14]

Ump is ridiculous

[I seen it dawg]

Good god

[chef dixon]

Tanner is about to rake

[maroonmania]

Umpire screwing us over. Westburg thought he had to go after that one even though outside because of the previous pitch.

[I seen it dawg]

That's a stolen out. Umpire can't be that bad it changes the whole at bat.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

This ump needs to go to HS an stay there. This is pathetic. Or he could ump at Om games- their staff needs all the help it can get

[chef dixon]

The same pitch on the outside has gotten us both times with a man on 3rd and 1 out

[magrooder]

Yeah, that pitch painted the corner of the other batters box. I don't know what that umpire was looking at.

[maroonmania]

I am so tired of horrid officiating in all college sports I could puke. This ump has single handedly kept USM in the game with horrendous strike calls in key situations.

[maroonmania]

Another wasted opportunity with an assist from the ump.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

I am so tired of horrid officiating in all college sports I could puke. This ump has single handedly kept USM in the game with horrendous strike calls in key situations.

Even in the pros the MLB is the only one that's got it figured out. NFL is every bit as bad as SEC refs are, and the NBA calls what they think happened (and not what they saw) so much that flopping is dominating the game

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Mississippi Southern pitchers getting Greg Maddux strike zone today

[mparkerfd20]

This ump is ruining my enjoyment of the game today. Something had to be done.

[HoopsDawg]

That's a big time play by Foscue.

[I seen it dawg]

Great play by Foscue

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

damn foscue

[magrooder]

I HATE this shift crap.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Repeat my last comment lol

[maroonmania]

Need to forget the shift. Not helping. Fortunate Foscue made a great play.

[I seen it dawg]

Liebelt is carving himself a great role for us. Another very solid outing. Eagan needs to do same here.

[maroonmania]

I would throw every pitch off the plate outside. He is giving pitcher's pitches out there that no batter can even get a bat on.

[I seen it dawg]

Attaboy Eagan! Really loving this mid inning tandem of Liebelt/Eagan.

[I seen it dawg]

Great inning b5 3-1

[I seen it dawg]

Great veteran job of hitting by Mac

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

3rd out that's been robbed from us

[Hambone]

I mean his strike zone has been consistent, but good grief those outside strikes are awful

[I seen it dawg]

This is a trash inning if we don't get the run home

[CJDAWG85]

What’s the situation?

[maroonmania]

Another wasted opportunity. We will be fortunate if all of these blown chances to score don't bite us in the butt.

[CadaverDawg]

Wasted oops could come back to bite us. This ump can bite my ass, too...he sucks. Putting us at disadvantages in counts with his bullshit strike calls

[I seen it dawg]

What’s the situation?

Mac led Off with a double and we went k, weak groundout and fly out.

Top 6 up 3-1

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Jones will be a .400 hitter if he commits to just hitting it and stops trying to hit a HR. That's his 2nd deep flyout today, either one could have been solid hits if he just drive them

[maroonmania]

I mean his strike zone has been consistent, but good grief those outside strikes are awful

Problem is he is calling balls so far off the plate that I'm not even sure the hitter can foul off, much less actually try to get an actual hit off of. If you got up far enough on the plate to hit that then you would be totally unable to hit anything on the inside corner.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Problem is he is calling balls so far off the plate that I'm not even sure the hitter can foul off, much less actually try to get an actual hit off of. If you got up far enough on the plate to hit that then you would be totally unable to hit anything on the inside corner.

Exactly that's the thing... if you're going to call that you're giving them a free K because no hitter alive can deal with an extra 7 inches of strike zone

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

And now he wont' give that call to us lol

[maroonmania]

3-2 now. All of these lost opportunities for us is going to make this one a white knuckler.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

3-2 now. All of these stolen opportunities for us is going to make this one a white knuckler.

Fixed it for you

[skadoosh14]

Sure would be nice if the ump made those awful calls for both teams

[Lord McBuckethead]

How many have we left on, 9?

[mparkerfd20]

Shitty umping is going to cost us this game

[Lord McBuckethead]

Self throwing up beach balls.

[ZedFedder]

If Self throws an 86 mph cutter every pitch he is not going to be good.

[I seen it dawg]

Self is not his freshman self. can't pitch up.

[maroonmania]

Self is just not good right now. Hangs WAY too many pitches. Wish we would have left Eagan in.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Self throwing up beach balls.

He's a one trick pony and it ain't breaking sharp today

[HoopsDawg]

Riley doesn't miss bats. He has to work down. And FU to this home plate ump.

[CadaverDawg]

Unreal. We're going to lose a home series to these clowns

[CadaverDawg]

Riley doesn't miss bats. He has to work down. And FU to this home plate ump.

This ump kept them in the game long enough to take advantage

[maroonmania]

Screw this ump! He is not giving us the same pitches outside that he is USM.

[HoopsDawg]

Oh my gosh. How does the ump not call that 1-2 pitch a strike?

[Lord McBuckethead]

How the hell was that not strike 3

[Coursesuper]

If Self throws an 86 mph cutter every pitch he is not going to be good.

He?s getting shelled, it?s just meat.

[maroonmania]

We are going to lose this one if we don't get Self out of there. I will say if he was getting the usm calls he would have gotten the last batter out before the hit.

[mparkerfd20]

Get Self out of there now

[Lord McBuckethead]

Well give them 4 strikes and they tee off on self again.

[Choctaw Dawg]

This ump kept them in the game long enough to take advantage

And that we’ve left guys in scoring position the past three innings

[HoopsDawg]

Oh my gosh. How does the ump not call that 1-2 pitch a strike?

cost us a fckn hit. We need to send in this tape to the league office. Daniel Cricks is his name.

[I seen it dawg]

Got to get Self out. He's not very good.

[I seen it dawg]

Barlow has to be effective here. This is his role. If he can't get the job done consistently it changes our pen dramatically.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

cost us a fckn hit. We need to send in this tape to the league office.

lol if you didn't get the memo from FB season, the league office doesn't care how bad it's refs/umps are

[maroonmania]

This ump kept them in the game long enough to take advantage

Yep, but there won't be an asterik in the box score when this shows up as a loss.

[CadaverDawg]

And that we’ve left guys in scoring position the past three innings

Partly bc of that ump

[CadaverDawg]

Don't love the Barlow move.

[maroonmania]

lol if you didn't get the memo from FB season, the league office doesn't care how bad it's refs/umps are

college sports is getting harder to enjoy because the officiating is so terrible in all sports.

[CadaverDawg]

college sports is getting harder to enjoy because the officiating is so terrible in all sports.

Yep

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

college sports is getting harder to enjoy because the officiating is so terrible in all sports.

Same way for the NFL too

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

For the record I still think we win this one. 12 outs left and I trust our pen and batters more than theirs

[HoopsDawg]

college sports is getting harder to enjoy because the officiating is so terrible in all sports.

Ark vs A&M basketball game last night, they had a 9 minute review on a meaningless call. 9 minutes!! The call stayed the same.

[maroonmania]

Ark vs A&M basketball game last night, they had a 9 minute review on a meaningless call. 9 minutes!! The call stayed the same.

Oh yes, SEC does that a lot on meaningless calls. But now when AL fumbles a football against us in a big time SEC football game then, of course, we have no time to waste on a review.

[DownwardDawg]

Oh yes, SEC does that a lot on meaningless calls. But now when AL fumbles a football against us in a big time SEC football game then, of course, we have no time to waste on a review.

Lol. No doubt.

[maroonmania]

For the record I still think we win this one. 12 outs left and I trust our pen and batters more than theirs

Don't know, we aren't even threatening to score now.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Don't know, we aren't even threatening to score now.

We hit the ball really well 2/3 times, it was just right at someone. Our 2 hole hitter is up next inning. It's not like this guy is dominating us or can't give out soon (he's a reliever over 25 pitches)

[maroonmania]

Crazy. The ump has now apparently totally stopped giving that off the plate outside strike. Incompetence at its best.

[I seen it dawg]

Come in with a fastball dammit

[HoopsDawg]

boy it's risky letting Barlow face righties. I thought we might bring in Cole Gordon.

[I seen it dawg]

Thank you ****

[HoopsDawg]

Come in with a fastball dammit

he did. nice job by Barlow.

[gravedigger]

Don't love the Barlow move.

Pretty nice pitching.

[I seen it dawg]

Great job by Barlow. Do not let him go back out.

[I seen it dawg]

Barlow has to fill that 2nd lefty role

[HoopsDawg]

we are the only stadium in the country that can have 10K at the game and it looks like no one is there b/c the grandstands are empty.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

2 popups and a k for the meat of their order. Barlow will face the 6-8 hitters who are 2/8 today. if he struggles we have Gordon. They're about to fae the top of our lineup and don't have a stud left in their pen. 70% chance we win

[HoopsDawg]

I wonder if someone talked to Cricks. His zone has been better since he spazzed out on Westy and Foscue.

[maroonmania]

Next team to score will likely win this one. Shadows taking over.

[smootness]

Westburg watches more third strikes than anybody I've ever seen.

[maroonmania]

If the ump had the strike zone earlier that he has now we would likely be up in this game by 2 or 3 runs.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Got to get Self out. He's not very good.

Self only throws one pitch and we have played USM too many times in 3 years

Why are we playing these clowns more once a decade?

[maroonmania]

Got a really bad feeling about this one guys. We blew so many chances to open this one up early and now we can't even get a hit.

[Choctaw Dawg]

This might get out of hand

[Coursesuper]

Self only throws one pitch and we have played USM too many times in 3 years

Why are we playing these clowns more once a decade?

Without another pitch his effectiveness has gone in the tank.

[maroonmania]

Without another pitch his effectiveness has gone in the tank.

Problem with Self right now is more location that even needing another pitch. Can't leave pitches belt high over the middle of plate no matter what you are throwing.

[I seen it dawg]

****

[maroonmania]

Our pitchers right now don't look nearly as effective as theirs. Lead off walks are killers.

[Coursesuper]

Problem with Self right now is more location that even needing another pitch. Can't leave pitches belt high over the middle of plate no matter what you are throwing.

You know what’s coming it’s either in the zone or not. There is zero guessing up there I don’t know about you but I found it a lot easier to hit when I guessed right.

[I seen it dawg]

Dammit. Gordon does his job and we **** it up at 2nd

[I seen it dawg]

This guy has no chance

[I seen it dawg]

**** you fred you bitch

[maroonmania]

You know what’s coming it’s either in the zone or not. There is zero guessing up there I don’t know about you but I found it a lot easier to hit when I guessed right.

Agree, but when you know what's coming and then it gets hung over the plate it becomes really easy to hit. When you know what's coming and it bites, its still pretty tough to barrel up.

[Coursesuper]

Agree, but when you know what's coming and then it gets hung over the plate it becomes really easy to hit. When you know what's coming and it bites, its still pretty tough to barrel up.

Whatever dude.

[skadoosh14]

this is getting ridiculous

[maroonmania]

Our offense sucks. Skelton strikes out on a ball 4.

[I seen it dawg]

Shit Skelton you know you're getting heat 3-1

[maroonmania]

Had Skelton taken the walk we would be in great shape here.

[I seen it dawg]

Gotta make this error hurt. To be a great team you have to make teams pay for extra outs.

[HoopsDawg]

need 1 more baserunner to get Mangum up.

[HoopsDawg]

I'm a little surprised we burned Bell's redshirt to be a pinch runner. I noticed that on Wednesday.

[KOdawg1]

Rowdey has been awful this year

[HoopsDawg]

Welp, 9-1-2 in the 9th for us.

[Choctaw Dawg]

Gilbert catching

[maroonmania]

What has happened to Rowdey? Nothing like the hitter he was last year so far.

[I seen it dawg]

Shit. That's good positioning. To 9th tied at 3

[The Federalist Engineer]

What has happened to Rowdey? Nothing like the hitter he was last year so far.

Needs to use the same goggles as last year

[maroonmania]

Amazing how differently that inning might have gone had Skelton not swung at Ball 4 at his shoetops.

[I seen it dawg]

Rowdey started out bad last yr too. He will hit.

[I seen it dawg]

Glad Westburg isn't too big to play short

[CJDAWG85]

Can someone do play by play? No one is keeping twitter updated.

[KOdawg1]

Cole makes me nervous in tight games

[I seen it dawg]

Gordon gets 2 quick outs then Gordon ****ing walks Slater with 2 outs to get to Wallner.

[KOdawg1]

Can someone do play by play? No one is keeping twitter updated.

Top of the 9th, tie game, 2 out walk

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Can someone do play by play? No one is keeping twitter updated.

Gordon got 2 quick outs but walked guy and now their best slugger is up. Foxhall out to talk to Gordon, probably trying to fix the mechanics that lead to a walk

[HoopsDawg]

Can someone do play by play? No one is keeping twitter updated.

1 man on, T9, 2 outs. Gordon pitching to Wallner.

[I seen it dawg]

And down 2-0 to wallner

[HoopsDawg]

Gordon just threw cheese on a 2-0 pitch and Wallner fouled it back. 2-2 count now.

[I seen it dawg]

2-2

[I seen it dawg]

Great pitch by Gordon but wallner lays off. Full

[KOdawg1]

Walked him, 2 on.

Get him out of there

[HoopsDawg]

Gordon just threw cheese on a 2-0 pitch and Wallner fouled it back. 2-2 count now.

somehow Wallner didn't swing at a great pitch on 2-2. Then Gordon walks him trying to backdoor a curve.

[I seen it dawg]

Wallner walks

[I seen it dawg]

Take it hoops your slightly ahead

[Lord McBuckethead]

Gordon is fine. He just threw 4 strikes to that guy. Been called all day. Literally all day. The 2-2 pitch was perfect.

[KOdawg1]

Walked him, 2 on.

Get him out of there

Nvm, good job Cole

[HoopsDawg]

Whew, great job Cole. Got thru their meat of the order.

[I seen it dawg]

Escaped the 2 out walks. Tied to b9.

[KOdawg1]

Okay, top of the order is up. Let's end it.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Walked Walner on a pitch that's been called a strike all game, then got a ground out.

[skadoosh14]

I love the move to let Ginn pinch hit

[HoopsDawg]

Let's win it right here. Ginn, Mangum, and Westy due up.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Ginn in to pinch hit for Skelton I believe

[I seen it dawg]

Ginn hitting for landon

[Lord McBuckethead]

Time to shorten some swings and try ... goddammit that was 8 inches outside.

[I seen it dawg]

This strike zone is such horseshit

[Lord McBuckethead]

You have to swing at it, even when its in the other 17ing batters box

[I seen it dawg]

Zone changes hitters. ****ing shitty umpire

[CJDAWG85]

What did Ginn do? Who is up?

[Lord McBuckethead]

This umpires strike zone 17ing sucks

[I seen it dawg]

Wow that was a strike

[I seen it dawg]

What did Ginn do? Who is up?

K swinging. Mangum flew out. Westburg up

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

What did Ginn do? Who is up?

Ginn struck out. Ump called another ball a strike which made Ginn have to defend a FB way outside, since it' 50/50 would be balled strike 3. Mangum popped out.

[I seen it dawg]

E6 Westburg on

[skadoosh14]

HELL YEAH BOYS

[The Federalist Engineer]

Bulldogs win - Tanner Allen Double and Hero

[I seen it dawg]

Tanner double for the win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[chef dixon]

Wow horrible play by the RF to let it hit the wall. LETS GO!!!

[The Federalist Engineer]

Well, it should have been a Sweep but I can live with 2 of 3

[msstate7]

Nice series win

[gravedigger]

Our offense sucks. Skelton strikes out on a ball 4.

Hate we dissapointed

[I seen it dawg]

2 out of 3 is a good wkd. Bullpen does just enough and doesn't blow up. Finally took advantage of an extra out and made them pay.

[gravedigger]

Wow horrible play by the RF to let it hit the wall. LETS GO!!!

That is one of those catch 22 moments. Run too hard at it and it squirts under your legs.

[TNDawg35]

Twitter fixen to light Whalners (sp) up!!!

[vv83]

2 weeks in and I’m loving what I see from Ginn. Dude is a stud on the mound and I think he’ll get it together at the plate. Ump was horrible today so he had to chase that third pitch. Ready to see him get some hits

[CadaverDawg]

Great win

[No BS Dawg]

Really like this team. There is always the feeling they are going to get it done. I know it won't always happen, but it sure as hell is nice to feel that way as a fan. #HailYeahHailState

[maroonmania]

Wow horrible play by the RF to let it hit the wall. LETS GO!!!

That rounded wall helped us out. Outfielder had no clue how to play that ball!

[maroonmania]

Great win

Yep, would have been a real downer to lose this series. Amazing how we blew all of those good opportunities to score and then win with nobody on and 2 outs only to get a USM error and a double to win! Great job.

[I seen it dawg]

We are a veteran club. Key to the offense is getting the DH and 2b spot to not be a hole in the lineup. The other guys will be fine and hit. I really like the move to get Rowdey out of 2 hole bit it does make us very top heavy. If Skelton is gonn be in 6 hole everyday he's gonna have to hit. Rowdey I like better in 8 spot right now bc he will start to hit. Splits our 2 holes in the lineup right now until one or both hit.

[chef dixon]

That is one of those catch 22 moments. Run too hard at it and it squirts under your legs.

True hard to know in the moment, but bottom 9 your only shot is to cut it off

[I seen it dawg]

Agree there have to be very aggressive.

[DownwardDawg]

Great win!!

[maroonmania]

Hate we dissapointed

We didn't disappoint but our offense still sucked from the 4th through the 8th innings. Thankfully a USM error bailed us out to get the winning run on base. Glad you were able to go back 3 pages to find that while the rest of us were celebrating. Love our fans.

[BuckyIsAB****]

USM just lost their super bowl

[maroonmania]

USM just lost their super bowl

Just glad to shut that bunch up for a while.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Taking a deep breath- Leibelt and Barlow are gonna be valuable this year.

Leibelt has an easy motion that could do multiple stints per weekend

Barlow with confidence is our Zach Neff replacement as LH relief and we still have Eagan

I'm concerned about Riley Self being found out. If USM has him scouted, then the entire SEC has his book. I recall Vandy torched him in the Super Regional, on their second look.
