Rubber match vs Auburn thread

[MaroonFlounder]

Jordy to the deepest part of the ballpark!

[smootness]

Westburg is a BUH. EAST.

[ShotgunDawg]

One things for damn sure. This team absolutely refuses to quit.

It's a tough team

[RocketDawg]

So the game's still going on? I've been watching golf, but got a phone message 40 minutes ago from HailState saying the final score was Auburn 9-0.

[MaroonFlounder]

When Westy makes contact it's always coming off the bat with most velo than any other hitter on the team

[ShotgunDawg]

We're going to win this game if we can just find a millimeter of pitching

[maroonmania]

So the game's still going on? I've been watching golf, but got a phone message 40 minutest ago from HailState saying the final score was Auburn 9-0.

Think that was the softball score today.

[ShotgunDawg]

Riley Self could be the hero today.

Really calmed the waters

[ShotgunDawg]

I like Barlow's stuff today

[MaroonFlounder]

I like Barlow's stuff today

Nope

[ShotgunDawg]

Come on Barlow. For goodness sakes. Someone nut up & get the job done

[maroonmania]

Every time we get the game back in play our pitchers crap the bed.

[ShotgunDawg]

That was strike 3

[maroonmania]

Come on ump! that was strike 3.

[Mobile Bay]

Are we trying to lose the game?

[ShotgunDawg]

Horrendous job by Allen there

[maroonmania]

Dang! Gave away another run.

[maroonmania]

Yep, that was on Allen. At least if he catches it nobody scores.

[Scared_Hitless]

Thats why Rowdey has to play LF

[smootness]

Obviously the throw has to be better, but Allen is the laziest first baseman I've ever seen. He never stretches on anything and then just lets that one go over his head without much effort.

What an amazing catch by Rowdey.

[maroonmania]

Great job by Rowdey. If Allen catches the ball even with the foot off the bag we would have gotten out of that with no damage.

[MarketingBully]

Why didn’t Westburg go to third? It was the easier play and would have gotten the guy out at third by a mile.

[smootness]

Why didn’t Westburg go to third? It was the easier play and would have gotten the guy out at third by a mile.

Guys are always taught to go to 1st if it's a routine ball. And it's the right play. They don't make the somewhat awkward throw to 3rd enough.

[MarketingBully]

Horrendous job by Allen there

That’s why you usually like a 6’3-6’4” first baseman. Should play Hatcher there honestly.

[MarketingBully]

Guys are always taught to go to 1st if it's a routine ball. And it's the right play. They don't make the somewhat awkward throw to 3rd enough.

The play to first was the harder one of the two.

[maroonmania]

I don't know, but we just keep making it harder and harder to catch up.

[MaroonFlounder]

Just take pitches. This guy is all over the place

[Bothrops]

We will have to win game 1 to have a chance to win the LSU series.

[MaroonFlounder]

Allen is better scooping low throws

[ShotgunDawg]

That’s why you usually like a 6’3-6’4” first baseman. Should play Hatcher there honestly.

No, that's why you teach 1B's to not stride until late. He strode too early & got locked

[maroonmania]

You know it would be so MState to lose Friday by 1 run, win Sat by 13 runs and lose today by 1 run.

[ShotgunDawg]

I'd pinch hit Hatcher for Cumbest vs this guy

[maroonmania]

Rowdey is officially out of the slump!

[mparkerfd20]

Rowdey F'ing Jordan is back!

[Mobile Bay]

****ing A Rowdy Jordan!

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

I guess that's why none of us that wanted to bench Rowdey last weekend are SEC baseball coaches

[ShotgunDawg]

That's the best swing Rowdy has take all year

[I seen it dawg]

Rowdey is gonna hit...oh

[ShotgunDawg]

Halter has to play that off better. He gave himself up to the ump

[maroonmania]

Can we appeal that. Didn't look like he went around.

[ShotgunDawg]

Rowdey is gonna hit...oh

The key to clutch hitting is having good hitters throughout the lineup - Skip Bertman

[ShotgunDawg]

Can we appeal that. Didn't look like he went around.

Doesn't help when Halter is walking back to the dugout before the call is made.

Gunner has to play that off a little. Act like you didn't swing

[Cloak]

Hell of a baseball game

[maroonmania]

Doesn't help when Halter is walking back to the dugout before the call is made.

Gunner has to play that off a little. Act like you didn't swing

Come on bullpen! Here is Gordon. Hope he is on today.

[dantheman4248]

Is this the thread where I come to say we should pull Rowdey from the lineup because there’s a hitch in his swing and our coaches who have us to like a 20-3 start have no idea what they’re doing?

[maroonmania]

This ump gives us nothing with the strike zone.

[ShotgunDawg]

Gordon is rested

[maroonmania]

Does that put Auburn at 20 hits yet?

[maroonmania]

Auburn's ground balls just keep finding holes.

[maroonmania]

I give up. Out bullpen sucks.

[msbulldog]

Well kiss my dead a$$.

[Dawg2003]

I hate this game so much.

[Mobile Bay]

LOL our Sunday pitching sucks. Don't let your wife's boyfriend sell his prosthetic leg. We ain't going to Omaha.

[Drugdog]

Our Sunday pitching is abysmal..

[WSOPdawg]

So I think its safe to conclude that the #2 team in the nation HAS NO 17'N BULLPEN!!!

[msbulldog]

Cole ain't got it.

[I seen it dawg]

Can’t locate a ****ing fastball

[I seen it dawg]

Umpire crew is a clown show

[WSOPdawg]

Sonofa-mutha17'n-b!tch !!!

[IMissJack]

Is this physical or psychological?

[maroonmania]

Auburn has 21 freakin' hits. Our relief pitching is the clown show.

[MarketingBully]

Why on 2-2 do you throw a fastball down Broadway? Dumb as pitch by Cole Gordon.

[MarketingBully]

Auburn has 21 freakin' hits. Our relief pitching is the clown show.

The ump’s strike zone had a lot to do with this shit too but I agree our pitchers need to have some resolve and keep these ****ers off balance.

[ZedFedder]

Definitely raises a ton of questions on our bullpen now. Went from having the best era in the nation to who know what now.

[msbulldog]

Wooo-Wooooo!

[magrooder]

Probably more than a little petty, but I wish our announcers would be a little more homerish. I'm tired of hearing Wyatt brag on Auburn this weekend.

[maroonmania]

Need another one Rowdey!

[Percho]

i would run for skelton

[Percho]

Who is this idiot behind the plate?

[maroonmania]

Boy, this ump putting the screws to Gordon on the strike zone.

[maroonmania]

Big out there when it looked like Cole was about to walk a second batter.

[Dawg2003]

This is like last year when I got sick to my stomach every time we pitched.

[maroonmania]

Nice job Cole. Let's get some more runs.

[msbulldog]

Finally!

[magrooder]

Need to score about 10 runs this inning to almost make it safe for the top of the ninth

[IMissJack]

Westy!

[msbulldog]

Go Jake! Go Westburg!

[magrooder]

Great hit by Westburg

[maroonmania]

Great job Westburg! Thought it was gone.

[CadaverDawg]

What a wild game. I feel like we need way more runs haha

[maroonmania]

What a wild game. I feel like we need way more runs haha

Agree, I still don't feel very good about this game. Maybe if we score 3 or 4 more.

[West Tn Dawg]

Can't say I have ever seen a game like this. Wish we could jump on them for about 5 runs right here.

[IMissJack]

Put one out of here Mac.

but would settle for a single and RBI.

[maroonmania]

Has Tanner done anything this weekend besides maybe his first AB Friday?

[IMissJack]

Foscue with the rbi.

[Dildoes]

What is MacNamee’s walk out song? With the sax. I’ve heard that somewhere before

[IMissJack]

Skelton HR!!!!!

Unbelievable...

[magrooder]

Foscue showing his Girodos

[maroonmania]

Great job Foscue and SKelton!!!

[maroonmania]

35 runs on the scoreboard. Unreal.

[msbulldog]

DAmmit Boy!!!

[West Tn Dawg]

I asked for 5 runs and they gave it to me!!!!!!! Hell Yea!!!!!!

[CadaverDawg]

This. Damn. Team!

WOW!!

Say what you want about the pitching concerns in this one, but my goodness what a resilient bunch this is. Tip of the cap, Dawgs. Now go finish this puppy off with 3 outs

[maroonmania]

This. Damn. Team!

WOW!!

Say what you want about the pitching concerns in this one, but my goodness what a resilient bunch this is. Tip of the cap, Dawgs. Now go finish this puppy off with 3 outs

This one isn't over YET, but other than letting the game last Friday slip away they have risen to the occasion in pretty much every game when it was needed.

[magrooder]

Now I gotta hold my breath for 3 outs

[CadaverDawg]

We've scored 40 runs this series

[Commercecomet24]

I love this team! Freaking relentless!

[IMissJack]

Who comes in if Gordon can't get it done?

Hope we don't have to find out!

[magrooder]

Hey!! A ground ball out.

[Commercecomet24]

Who comes in if Gordon can't get it done?

Hope we don't have to find out!

Colby White warm in the pen

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Down 5, a field goal won't help them. They need a touchdown.

[msbulldog]

1out away from the clinch!

[somebodyshotmypaw]

We threw 177 pitches. But a win is a win. Hail State!

[mparkerfd20]

Hell yeah! Sunday pitching be damned I love this freaking team!

[Mobile Bay]

Pitching is for losers.

[CadaverDawg]

Big time win

[WinningIsRelentless]

Chicks dig the long ball

[MarketingBully]

Great win! Never give up attitude! Love this team! That puts us at 22-3 and 4-2! Nice!

[WSOPdawg]

Hailstate!!!

[msudawglb]

I guess Rowdey is still just getting lucky. I said he wasn?t far off.

[MarketingBully]

This. Damn. Team!

WOW!!

Say what you want about the pitching concerns in this one, but my goodness what a resilient bunch this is. Tip of the cap, Dawgs. Now go finish this puppy off with 3 outs

Is it pitching concerns or is Auburn just hot against right handed pitching? Before they lost the last two they had a 15 game winning streak.

[Commercecomet24]

This team has swag! I love it! They just believe they're gonna win every game. Never out of any game.

[IMissJack]

Wow! Super game, especially since we won, but my heart prefers a 6-2 victory...*

[MarketingBully]

I guess Rowdey is still just getting lucky. I said he wasn?t far off.

I’d say Rowdey is back and we have a RH DH in Cumbest.

[BeardoMSU]

We should've swept**

Jk.
I ****ing love this team. Awesome win.

[Bothrops]

We are one tough SOB!

[CadaverDawg]

I’d say Rowdey is back and we have a RH DH in Cumbest.

Yes and yes. It's all coming together. Just gotta find a Sunday starter and hope todays bullpen issues was just a weird day

[CadaverDawg]

This team is tough as a 2 dollar steak. LOVE THIS TEAM

[RocketDawg]

What was the final score?

This must be one of the longest 8.5 inning runs in our history.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

2 of the lowest ERA's in the league give up 11, 17, and 35 runs in the games this weekend. Just as we all predicted.

Seriously though the pitchers have to step up. Even IF Leibelt improves some to be more reliable and Barlow gets a little better vs righties, we're still down a Sunday starter, long reliever, and a closer. Gordon can fill one of those IF he can find his postseason self. White can fill the closer IF he gets a new pitch. Ceratola can be the starter IF he gets better with his location. Self can help out IF he gets his velo up and can locate. Overall that's a lot of "IF" to having a well rounded team. If Small or Ginn have a bad start we're royally screwed vs anyone.

Overall though, as the hitters showed today, we can mash out way out of some jams. Just doubt we can make a run in Omaha without better relievers

[WSOPdawg]

Is it pitching concerns or is Auburn just hot against right handed pitching? Before they lost the last two they had a 15 game winning streak.

No, we definitely have pitching concerns. But we've also go some guys that can bring the lumber and swing the bats. We're definitely a top-10 team that can sweep LSU next weekend.

[ShotgunDawg]

This team is tough as a 2 dollar steak. LOVE THIS TEAM

Gonna win it all.

The can beat you too many different ways.

The problem with the Sunday pitching for the most part is that pitches are all over the place. Outside, inside, high, bounced to the plate, etc., if they get a fastball over the plate, the batter is sitting on it.

IF small or ginn have a bad start then the other team has a chance to take a series...a chance. As we saw this weekend, a loss on Friday or Saturday doesn’t spell disaster.

We need somebody on the staff to step up to make it to Omaha. Once there two dominant starters will get u as far as needed.

[DownwardDawg]

I love this team!!! Wow!!

[BuckyIsAB****]

Top 10 is cutting this bunch short

[CadaverDawg]

20-15

[BuckyIsAB****]

I would encourage any young group of kids trying to play any sport to go back over last year and this year so far and watch this team. They are together. They play for one another and for the name on the front. Not the back. Its hard to beat a man that never gives up. And this team is that.

I thought after last year I may never love another team as much, but this one might top it

[Homedawg]

I’d say Rowdey is back and we have a RH DH in Cumbest.

Cool jets. Just like cumbest didn't suck last week, as some said, when he I'd twice. He's also a young hitter that's gonna take some lumps. I absolutely love his upside and think he has star written all over him. As for Rowdey, he had a great weekend. He makes our team so much better when he's out there. Happy for him. Again too many getting impatient w a guy that's done it before. Way too many.

[CadaverDawg]

Forgive me if I missed it, but where was Eagan?

[RocketDawg]

20-15

Amazing. Was that baseball or volleyball?

[somebodyshotmypaw]

So against Auburn we have a 20-15 baseball game and a 3-2 football game. Weird.

[Homedawg]

Forgive me if I missed it, but where was Eagan?

He warmed up early.

[CadaverDawg]

He warmed up early.

Gotcha. Thanks

[BeardoMSU]

Rowdy must've told Jobu to **** off, lol.

You nailed it right here Bucky! No egos all ballers who only care about winning! Everybody does their job! Fun to watch!

[CadaverDawg]

I kinda got the feeling that Butch was wanting to show off how many LHP's he had, and got a little cute with it. Glad we tattooed every damn one of em and basically said "Next??" all day.

That being said, Auburn may be a better team than I thought. I didn't think they were good offensively, but boy they hit the ball this weekend.

[MarketingBully]

Price sucked but Smith threw strikes and the ump squeezed the strike zone so much that the only strike were balls in the hitting zone. Low pitches that 95% of the time were strikes to every other umpire were balls for this guy. It was a hitter?s strike zone out there today and you saw it on both sides. Hitters were able to lay off low pitches and pitchers were having to throw high strikes. That?s a big reason why you had a 20-15 game. Auburn and MSU?s pitching staffs are much better then they showed today.

[Mjoelner34]

Does anyone recall any other MSU baseball game where we scored in every inning and every batter had a least 1 rbi?
