No TV for tonight's baseball game?

[RocketDawg]

Would be nice to have it available, but I guess we can watch the First Four games.

[yjnkdawg]

Anybody who has a subscription to ESPN+ can watch it on the ESPN App. Maybe because it is a home game for Sanford it is on ESPN+ instead of SECN+. That's the only reason that I can come up with.

[SpaceWranglerDawg]

ESPN+. You get a week free trial I believe if you don't already have it.

[HoopsDawg]

Jake Mangum is one of my favorite msu players of all time, he is one of the best msu players of all time, and he is also one of the WORST baserunners of all time.

[confucius say]

Jake Mangum is one of my favorite msu players of all time, he is one of the best msu players of all time, and he is also one of the WORST baserunners of all time.

I am listening not watching. Why the hell did Mangum not tag and move to third on Allen's ball to center?

[confucius say]

And why are we playing this game on the road tonight after playing last night and in between fla and auburn. This is their freaking super bowl. Needs to be on a week where we only have one midweek game. Thankfully this is our last midweek with two games

[HoopsDawg]

I am listening not watching. Why the hell did Mangum not tag and move to third on Allen's ball to center?

that's what i'm referring to. I have no freaking idea. He ran half way on contact. Pretty stupid b/c he couldn't tag up and he would have scored easily if the ball had dropped. Cost us a run and possibly an even bigger inning.

[confucius say]

So dumb

[HoopsDawg]

Plumlee and Cerantola have failed their auditions to be the Sunday guy. Looks like we have the right guy in that spot in James.

[mparkerfd20]

May very well lose tonight. We won't score 15 on Samford but looks like we may give up a lot.

[confucius say]

Westy is killing us defensively. Can he play second?

[Dawg2003]

Well, might need to prepare for the first midweek meltdown if we loose.

[HoopsDawg]

Yikes, 4-0 Samford B1.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Well Samford hitting around the order in the bottom of the 1st. 4-0 and Plumlee hasn't missed a bat yet. Seriously, everytime the swing the bat they have hit it

[Mjoelner34]

Well Samford hitting around the order in the bottom of the 1st. 4-0 and Plumlee hasn't missed a bat yet. Seriously, everytime the swing the bat they have hit it

At least we just broke up their hit parade with a walk. **

[Lord McBuckethead]

Walked them loaded on 4 straight pitches. Up to 30 pitches in the bottom of the first.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Announcers calling for this dude to clear them.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Pop out behind 1st. Heading to the top of 2 down 4 runs.

[Skydawg1]

If the same damn thing hadn't happened last night, I'd be concerned. Are we learning how to deal with success (#2 team in the nation)? Or are we just simply pitching like crap? We came back last night and won big, and we'll do the same...but we need to be able to rely on Plumlee or Cerantola, or whoever, if we get into the losers bracket.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Someone needs to tell these espn+ guys to stay on the camera behind the pitcher and to zoom the 17 out a little. Shit man.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Espn+ trying to make sure we see every camera angle between every pitch.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Hope Skelton takes that personally. Dude threw above and behind his head.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Mangum jumped on that one. Right to the right fielder. Heading to the b2 down 4

[confucius say]

I don't think we will come back and win big.

[Homedawg]

Plumlee and Cerantola have failed their auditions to be the Sunday guy. Looks like we have the right guy in that spot in James.

Plumlee has a lot of feast and a lot of famine in him. He's not a Sunday guy. Been saying it. James has the best stuff gonna have to piece it together some in the third game. But he can get us thru 5. I believe most games.

[RocketDawg]

We do and a lot of other "big" teams seem to have a problem with the mid-week minor teams. Why even schedule them if we're just seemingly going to blow them off? Do I have the right perception?

[Dawg2003]

Our pitching depth has been exposed this week.

[CadaverDawg]

Plumlee has a lot of feast and a lot of famine in him. He's not a Sunday guy. Been saying it. James has the best stuff gonna have to piece it together some in the third game. But he can get us thru 5. I believe most games.

I hope you are right. Unfortunately Keegan hasn't proven that he can go 5 innings most starts. We need him to start getting us 5

[Saltydog]

Why do I have to login and get an ESPN+ subscription to view the game? I'm a directv customer and should have access. Anyone know?

[MarketingBully]

We do and a lot of other "big" teams seem to have a problem with the mid-week minor teams. Why even schedule them if we're just seemingly going to blow them off? Do I have the right perception?

Why play at their place? That’s what I want to understand.

[RocketDawg]

Why do I have to login and get an ESPN+ subscription to view the game? I'm a directv customer and should have access. Anyone know?

ESPN+ is a new thing where they supposedly bring you a lot of new programming that's not shown on WatchESPN and SECN+. It costs $5/month, but I haven't seen anything, other than this ballgame, that I'd want to see bad enough to pay extra for.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Plumlee gets really rattled with a runner on second or 3rd.

[The Federalist Engineer]

We see that Keegan is for sure the #3 starter after this week

[Lord McBuckethead]

Time for a double play ball. Lets go.

[maroonmania]

Jake Mangum is one of my favorite msu players of all time, he is one of the best msu players of all time, and he is also one of the WORST baserunners of all time.

^^This all day long. Mangum is one of the best players we've ever had but makes some the dumbest baserunning blunders I've ever seen. And he hasn't gotten a bit better as he's gotten older.

[maroonmania]

Why is Rowdey still starting? This is getting ridiculous.

[Mjoelner34]

Why is Rowdey still starting? This is getting ridiculous.

Getting? 2 hits since the Texas Tech game.

[MarketingBully]

Westburg has 30% of our errors as a team. He also is 0-3 at the plate and committed the error that directly led to them getting that 4th run. If we lose something like 4-3 it’s all on him tonight.

[maroonmania]

Getting? 2 hits since the Texas Tech game.

Hatcher needs to be in there getting experience in LF because that is who we are going have to play out there in SEC games unless we are just going to continue to put an automatic out in our lineup. Rowdey isn't even making hard contact anymore.

[Homedawg]

I hope you are right. Unfortunately Keegan hasn't proven that he can go 5 innings most starts. We need him to start getting us 5

Ha I guess more often than not would be more appropriate

[Homedawg]

Why do I have to login and get an ESPN+ subscription to view the game? I'm a directv customer and should have access. Anyone know?


No. Espn+ is extra. They want ALL your money

[HoopsDawg]

Hatcher needs to be in there getting experience in LF because that is who we are going have to play out there in SEC games unless we are just going to continue to put an automatic out in our lineup. Rowdey isn't even making hard contact anymore.

Yeah, I don't get why Hatcher wasn't in LF last night or tonight.

[Mjoelner34]

Hatcher needs to be in there getting experience in LF because that is who we are going have to play out there in SEC games unless we are just going to continue to put an automatic out in our lineup. Rowdey isn't even making hard contact anymore.

That's why I was saying last night that if I was going to give Rowdy more swings, I'd do it at DH and give him a couple of times at the plate with Hatcher in LF.

[Homedawg]

Westburg has 30% of our errors as a team. He also is 0-3 at the plate and committed the error that directly led to them getting that 4th run. If we lose something like 4-3 it’s all on him tonight.

He hit 2 balls to the wall. Try plumlee first if you have to place blame.

[ScoobaDawg]

Why do I have to login and get an ESPN+ subscription to view the game? I'm a directv customer and should have access. Anyone know?


ESPN+ is not the same as watchespn. It' a service for all this sucky conferences like the cusa and others that don't have media deals for all games and sports. Only reason this game is broadcast anywhere is because of us. but that doesn't mean we get our normal sec network+ on watchespn...since it's not a home game

[HoopsDawg]

Westburg has 30% of our errors as a team. He also is 0-3 at the plate and committed the error that directly led to them getting that 4th run. If we lose something like 4-3 it’s all on him tonight.

It's been one of those nights so far. Westburg has hit 2 balls to the warning track. Allen hit one to the track in dead center. Mangum and Hatcher have hit rope line drives right at someone. Mangum got thrown out at the plate after not tagging up. Plumlee has not been sharp and we had the E6. Still 5 innings to go.

[ScoobaDawg]

Price in to pitch now.

[Dawg2003]

We see that Keegan is for sure the #3 starter after this week

Which is scary. Can you imagine him starting our 3rd game if we make it to Omaha?

[Saltydog]

Everyone knew coming into the year that our middle infielders would be a weakness defensively. So far, Halter has been more reliable than Westburg.

[maroonmania]

Westburg has 30% of our errors as a team. He also is 0-3 at the plate and committed the error that directly led to them getting that 4th run. If we lose something like 4-3 it?s all on him tonight.

Our infield defense has taken a bit of a step down this year. Besides the errors we rarely ever turn a double play because we are not fluid in making infield outs.

[mparkerfd20]

Great we have 2 weekend pitchers and 3 relievers and absolutely nothing else.

[biggun]

Score?

[Mjoelner34]

4 - 1 them. Going to top of the 5th.

Allen, Mac, Foscue due up.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Alright, got out of a bases loaded spot there. Too bad we haven't been off the field for 20 minutes. Kept it 4-1 Samford. Top of 5.

[maroonmania]

4 - 1 them. Going to top of the 5th.

Allen, Mac, Foscue due up.

And we are lucky not to be down more. Samford has left 5 men on base the last 2 innings.

[Mjoelner34]

Mac walked, Foscue doubled him home. 4-2. 1 out.

Samford bringing in a lefty with Hatcher up.

Gilbert PH for Hatcher.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Foscue with a shot to the gap. Mac comes around from 1st to score. Man on 2nd with 1 out. Their starter coming out. Lets see their bullpen.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Yeah samford and our hitters have been polar opposites. They hit junk that lands on grass. We have had 4 balls go 3 ft short of the wall for outs.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Which is scary. Can you imagine him starting our 3rd game if we make it to Omaha?

I'm ok with that- with Gordon taking over in the 4th with a clean start

The other dude would get touched for 6 and hand the ball to Gordon with bases load, no outs, and 0-3 count.

[skadoosh14]

Does Lemonis know he can review plays?

[Saltydog]

Dang, squandered a good opportunity right there.

[Homedawg]

He was safe

[MarketingBully]

Wasn’t Skelton safe? He looked safe to me. Lemonis should have challenged that.

[Homedawg]

Which is scary. Can you imagine him starting our 3rd game if we make it to Omaha?

Last time we made the finals we didn't have a second starter as good as him. Relax

[Homedawg]

Wasn’t Skelton safe? He looked safe to me. Lemonis should have challenged that.


He was. Not sure if replaybis available or not??

[Dawgcap]

Some of y’all are embarrassing with the constant bitching. This is beyond bitching over a couple games. You bitch into the future. Sad

[The Federalist Engineer]

How can Rowdey still be batting?

[Mjoelner34]

Hey!!!!! Way to go Rowdy!!! Now keep it up!

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Is that 10 stranded so far? Might not be our day today.

[Homedawg]

How can Rowdey still be batting?

He's proven he can do it over a season and a fall and spring. I'd let him play through it to a degree. At some point if he doesn't get going sit him for good. But until then I'd keep rolling him out there. At least some. He makes our team better if he hits at all. More speed. Way better defense. We need him to get out of it.

[MarketingBully]

Down to our last nine outs and still down 4-2.

[biggun]

Down to our last nine outs and still down 4-2.

Thanks for score, please update when you can. Thanks

[SaintDawg]

hit that kid in his fat gut. looks like 200 lbs of chewed bubble gum

[MarketingBully]

4-2 going top of the seventh Mac Foscue and Gilbert up.

[Homedawg]

Is that 10 stranded so far? Might not be our day today.

They've stranded 11......

[Ari Gold]

He's proven he can do it over a season and a fall and spring. I'd let him play through it to a degree. At some point if he doesn't get going sit him for good. But until then I'd keep rolling him out there. At least some. He makes our team better if he hits at all. More speed. Way better defense. We need him to get out of it.

Agree
I said it last week
Let the kid get to 100 Abs first and then we can evaluate and see where he is .

[Yim Yames]

Big hit for Rowdy. 4-4.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Guess we are giving our pinch hitters a break tonight- Rowdey comes through with a blooper

My abandon ship on his season is breaking his slump

[Mjoelner34]

Yes!!! in his last 2 at bats, he has equaled his total over the last 11 games. Not out of it yet but definitely trending the right way!

[SaintDawg]

way to be a hitter, Rowdy!!!

[Mjoelner34]

Ha! Who knew that was going to happen? I'd have walked Mangum to load 'em.

[MarketingBully]

Up 6-4 going to the bottom of the 7th. Why teams pitch to Mangum I have no idea why but I’ll take it. :)

[BiscuitEater]

What happened and the score for us in the 'hinders' .. thanks!!

[maroonmania]

Mangum is such a greater hitter but SUCH an idiot on the basepaths. Tries to take 2 bases on a ball that never leaves the infield. Totally takes the bat out of Tanner Allen's hands where we would have still had 2 on base.

[Mjoelner34]

Rowdy, rbi single to tie it.
Mangum, rbi single to go up by 1.
Error by 2b to go up by 2.
Mangum thrown out at the plate for 3rd out trying to score from 2nd on the error.

[HoopsDawg]

Mangum is such a greater hitter but SUCH an idiot on the basepaths. Tries to take 2 bases on a ball that never leaves the infield. Totally takes the bat out of Tanner Allen's hands where we would have still had 2 on base.

He's given away 2 outs and at least 1 run on the bases. It's hard to get mad at him, but dayum!

[The Federalist Engineer]

Barlow is alright but Spring was dealing

[Homedawg]

Mangum is such a greater hitter but SUCH an idiot on the basepaths. Tries to take 2 bases on a ball that never leaves the infield. Totally takes the bat out of Tanner Allen's hands where we would have still had 2 on base.

I have no issue w the last out. He's done some dumb stuff. But the last one wasn't one of them. You score 50-50 on that play you don't have a 500 hitter coming up. ESP w the lead.

[maroonmania]

He's given away 2 outs and at least 1 run on the bases. It's hard to get mad at him, but dayum!

The issue is its one thing to be doing that kind of foolish crap as a FR but quite another to be doing it as a SR. I'll tell you what, if he does that kind of Little League stuff in the pros they will sit his ass on the bench.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Big 7th inning there. MSU up 6-4. Big hit for Rowdy to drive one in there. Just found the hole in center.

[maroonmania]

I have no issue w the last out. He's done some dumb stuff. But the last one wasn't one of them. You score 50-50 on that play you don't have a 500 hitter coming up. ESP w the lead.

Granted I can't see it but listening to Ellis he didn't make it sound like it was even close which is typical for Mangum.

[HoopsDawg]

Granted I can't see it but listening to Ellis he didn't make it sound like it was even close which is typical for Mangum.

He was out by a country mile.

[Lord McBuckethead]

He's given away 2 outs and at least 1 run on the bases. It's hard to get mad at him, but dayum!

Dang. Man is trying to make something happen.

[HoopsDawg]

Dang. Man is trying to make something happen.

He's stolen 2 bases tonight. That's making something happen. Not tagging up from 2nd base on a deep fly ball to CF is being a bad base runner. And that last play, I think he just rounded 3rd being charlie hustle b/c he didn't think it was likely we would be safe at first. Well we were safe and it wasn't even close at the plate.

[Homedawg]

The issue is its one thing to be doing that kind of foolish crap as a FR but quite another to be doing it as a SR. I'll tell you what, if he does that kind of Little League stuff in the pros they will sit his ass on the bench.
Hahah. You don't watch much pro ball do you. Hell they don't run out balls. Hit draw a check.

[MarketingBully]

Mangum is such a greater hitter but SUCH an idiot on the basepaths. Tries to take 2 bases on a ball that never leaves the infield. Totally takes the bat out of Tanner Allen's hands where we would have still had 2 on base.

Allen hasn’t done shit tonight. I liked Mangum doing that personally.

[KOdawg1]

Colby White in to pitch. I would've left Barlow in since he was dealing last inning, but I'm not the coach for a reason I guess.

[Homedawg]

Granted I can't see it but listening to Ellis he didn't make it sound like it was even close which is typical for Mangum.


It wasn't close. But I still don't have an issue. He had rounded third before the guy threw to first though. First baseman was alert and hosed him.

[West Tn Dawg]

Dang. Man is trying to make something happen.

Still got to be smart.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Hahah. You don't watch much pro ball do you. Hell they don't run out balls. Hit draw a check.

He would be the only guy that runs after anything in MLB. I walk faster than Matt Carpenter runs. Yadier Molina same. They are skilled, however

[BayouDawg]

Lol announcer just trolled their fat ass 1st baseman with a fat joke!

[maroonmania]

Hahah. You don't watch much pro ball do you. Hell they don't run out balls. Hit draw a check.

I don't see pro base runners trying to run around the bases like he thinks there are little league fielders out there. Yes, there are some lazy baserunners in the pros but I haven't witnessed any that consistently give away outs on the bases like Mangum does by trying stuff that is so low percentage its totally dumb. No, they will correct the way he runs the bases in the pros or he won't stay out there. You only have 27 outs in a game, one guy can't be giving away 1 or 2 of those on the basepaths each game.

[maroonmania]

Oh goodness, do we get good Cole or bad Cole tonight?

[The Federalist Engineer]

Lol announcer just trolled their fat ass 1st baseman with a fat joke!

Jim Ellis? I thought he only said "probably not a plus runner"

[The Federalist Engineer]

Oh goodness, do we get good Cole or bad Cole tonight?


He got the first guy, we are ok to breath

[BeardoMSU]

2 k's to start for Cole....

[maroonmania]

Good outing for Cole to get some confidence back. Nice comeback win.

[BeardoMSU]

Oh goodness, do we get good Cole or bad Cole tonight?

Good Cole, lol.

Struck out the side.

[CadaverDawg]

Cole damn Gordon!

[MarketingBully]

Cole had his stuff tonight. If he has it this weekend, the backend of our bullpen this weekend should be solid.

[Dawgcap]

Some of y’all are shitty followers of this team

[FriarsPoint]

Impressive win. Great teams do stuff like this.

[maroonmania]

Can't believe 2 nights in a row we give up 4 runs in the first inning and then shut both teams down the rest of the way. That's 16 innings of shutout pitching wrapped around 2 innings that we gave up 8 runs. Weird.

[The Federalist Engineer]

I don't see pro base runners trying to run around the bases like he thinks there are little league fielders out there. Yes, there are some lazy baserunners in the pros but I haven't witnessed any that consistently give away outs on the bases like Mangum does by trying stuff that is so low percentage its totally dumb. No, they will correct the way he runs the bases in the pros or he won't stay out there. You only have 27 outs in a game, one guy can't be giving away 1 or 2 of those on the basepaths each game.

Gotta take the great with the little bit bad. The kid is insanely poised and confident. The insane confidence makes him a bit of a maverick.

[99jc]

Some of y?all are shitty followers of this team

were headed to #1

[The Federalist Engineer]

were headed to #1

We are going to gripe all the way there. Anybody that doesn't gripe is probably a fair weather fan or a OM troll

[tcdog70]

So far since last half of last year till now--I have not seen this Bad Gordon Y'all speak of. How good does a Guy have to be ?

[TNDawg35]

So far since last half of last year till now--I have not seen this Bad Gordon Y'all speak of. How good does a Guy have to be ?

Apparently you missed game 3 of Maine and game 1 of FL in the 9th... Cole just about lost both those.

[Dawgcap]

Bullshit! We will lose several more games and to look for a reason to shit on players who have had a bad game is ridiculous.

[KOdawg1]

Great team win. Midweek starting pitching is still a concern though. Cerantola last night and Plumlee tonight.

Bullpen was lights out though, and we needed that. Rowdey got a couple of hits. Maybe that can spark something.


This team just finds ways to win games that teams of the past would lose. Got a tough opponent coming in this weekend. Let's sweep em

[KOdawg1]

Bullshit! We will lose several more games and to look for a reason to shit on players who have had a bad game is ridiculous.

Calm the crap down. We have the most passionate college baseball fanbase in America. Yeah, we're irrational sometimes. Yeah, we melt a little. But it's because we're fully invested in this program which is what makes it so great.

[Randolph Dupree]

Apparently you missed game 3 of Maine and game 1 of FL in the 9th... Cole just about lost both those.

I didn't see the Florida game he pitched but was right behind home plate for the Maine game and the guy was getting hosed by the ump. Only thing the imp was calling was right down the pipe...Maine wasn't Cole's fault.

[Randolph Dupree]

We are going to gripe all the way there. Anybody that doesn't gripe is probably a fair weather fan or a OM troll


We need to enjoy this ride. I know it's early but, I think we've got something here...might be REAL special.

[tcdog70]

Agree
I said it last week
Let the kid get to 100 Abs first and then we can evaluate and see where he is .

Right, did you know Willie Mays went like 0 for 32 when he first came up to the Giants. Leo Durocher said Willie you are my starter don't worry about it.

[Dawgcap]

Calm the crap down. We have the most passionate college baseball fanbase in America. Yeah, we're irrational sometimes. Yeah, we melt a little. But it's because we're fully invested in this program which is what makes it so great.

Passion is great but to shit on a few players to seem knowledgeable is dumb as hell. That’s not passion

[oldjoedawg]

Would be nice to have it available, but I guess we can watch the First Four games.

Watched it streamed by ROKU from ESPNWatch or WatchESPN...cant recall how it is listed.....Also could watch on computer monitor....

[tcdog70]

Apparently you missed game 3 of Maine and game 1 of FL in the 9th... Cole just about lost both those.

Dude , I did see the Ump squeeze Cole. And I saw Cole bow his 17ing neck and pitch our ass to 2 wins. Think about what you posted He just about lost---so that means we won and Cole finished the game. 17 you guys are whiners

[BayouDawg]

Jim Ellis? I thought he only said "probably not a plus runner"

Nah the ESPN+ guy said the 1st baseman wins the foot race the bag. His color guy then said I bet that hasnt been said about him many times (speaking of winning races). Im easily amused.

[LC Dawg]

Mississippi State should provide enjoyment therapy to Bulldog fans for all of our sufferings. We can't even enjoy being the #2 team in the nation.
