[msstate7]

You just did

[msbulldog]

Good to see ya 7!

[msstate7]

Good to see ya 7!

You too

Good start

[RocketDawg]

Still watching the Masters. I'll join the game later.

[ShotgunDawg]

Why is the grand stand empty?

It's SBW for goodness sakes.

[msbulldog]

Moved the game up the announcers said people are still filing in.

[msbulldog]

Plus the weather issue is going to change peoples plans.

[msbulldog]

Almost Jake!

[maroonmania]

How in the world did that not go out? Jake crushed it.

[RocketDawg]

Looks like there could be some rain in an hour or so unless it just goes away with sunset.

BTW ... Tiger is on a roll at the Masters. He's one stroke back of 5 guys tied for the lead, and he's still got 3 holes to go (I'm watching it slightly delayed because I paused during dinner).

[maroonmania]

Terrible call on Westburg for the K. That ball was below the ankles.

[ShotgunDawg]

How in the world did that not go out? Jake crushed it.

That's exactly why he's not a top 3 round type talent.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Matt Wyatt makes baseball suck, it will hard to pass the love to another generation

[msbulldog]

Damn made that guy go fish.

[msbulldog]

K!

[msbulldog]

Boom! 1 up!

[magrooder]

Cumbest is way safe

[The Federalist Engineer]

No tag until he scored

[mparkerfd20]

Holy 17ing shit he was safe m17ers!

[magrooder]

May as well do away with replay. It's worthless

[msbulldog]

Wrong call!

[maroonmania]

What good is replay if they don't correct a bad call????

[Lord McBuckethead]

Yep. For people at the game. He WAS SAFE at home. Tag applied high, Cumbest foot, shin, and knee all safe prior to the tag being applied.

17 gumps anyway, westburg said hold my beer.

[magrooder]

Hope alabama don't ask for a replay on that homerun, it'd probably be overturned

[maroonmania]

Suck it Home Plate ump. Of course it should be 5-0

[msbulldog]

4-0

[Lord McBuckethead]

What good is replay if they don't correct a bad call????

How come we do not see the exact replays the umps are looking at in birmingham? He was clearly safe in both views.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Oh yeah, the home plate ump was terribly out of position to make that call.

[msbulldog]

BULLSHITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

[Lord McBuckethead]

Mac went on that swing.

[maroonmania]

How come we do not see the exact replays the umps are looking at in birmingham? He was clearly safe in both views.

I don't know, but absolutely believe there is no other school in the league that SEC officials love to screw over more than MSU. There was absolutely no reason that call should not have been overturned. But its just like the crap we got with the dead ball 2 base error at TN. If SEC umps, refs, officials, etc. have ANY chance to screw us over in a game they will.

[MarketingBully]

How the **** do you screw up replay? The SEC just did it.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Might as well get rid of replay if they can't make the calls any better

We Better be on best behavior this weekend or these umps will start giving Bama free runs this weekend, already took away one of ours

[maroonmania]

That Ball 4 looked right down the middle. I don't get it. Knew once we scored the 4 runs Small would relax. Nothing in the SEC comes easy for this team.

[Percho]

how did bama get 3 on

[maroonmania]

how did bama get 3 on

Missed what the first batter did but the 2nd doubled past 3rd base and the 3rd guy walked.

[magrooder]

Missed what the first batter did but the 2nd doubled past 3rd base and the 3rd guy walked.

Singled down third base

[maroonmania]

Awesome job by Small. Bases loaded no outs and he strikes out the side! Only issue is Small is getting up there in pitch count.

[magrooder]

Ethan Small showed his Girodos

[msbulldog]

Small just dealt Alabama a hand!

[BeardoMSU]

Girodos

[BeardoMSU]

Ethan Small showed his Girodos

Ahaha! Beat me to it.

[msbulldog]

Yep, but we up 4 gump!

[State82]

That was a masterful job by Small.

[msbulldog]

6 in a row!

[maroonmania]

Even as a SR Mangum still swings at everything. Still don't know why pitchers ever throw him a strike.

[msbulldog]

7 in a row!

[Interpolation_Dawg_EX]

Why is it so such a problem to fill the seats behind home plate?

[maroonmania]

7 in a row!

Yep, but every hitter is a K or a walk. Wish Small could get a one or two pitch out every now and then. He is already over 80 pitches with 1 out in the 5th.

[magrooder]

Why is it so such a problem to fill the seats behind home plate?

Nobody from Alabama wanted those tickets this weekend

[chef dixon]

Man we need to knock out punch this starter

[maroonmania]

Why is it so such a problem to fill the seats behind home plate?

Apparently they same people own those that own the low level half court seats in the Hump that are never filled.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Why is it so such a problem to fill the seats behind home plate?

This needs to be addressed by our AD. Like as of the 3rd inning, all those people standing behind home plate can take a marked seat down there. At the end of the 3rd, if the seat has not been used, its open to all the other people that have access.

Its not that 17n hard. If a person comes with the ticket you move. Easy.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Well if we have the shift on, why pitch outside?

[Lord McBuckethead]

Just let Small pitch. We have only had one out the entire game that wasnt a result of skelton catching a strike.

[maroonmania]

Probably last inning for Small. 6 pitch walk to start the inning put him over 90 pitches in the 6th. Really going to shorten Small's outing that Bama never makes contact.

[chef dixon]

That's got to be a double play

[Saltydog]

Man, we have so much trouble turning the double plays. Terrible.

[maroonmania]

Bama literally never puts a ball in play.

[Lord McBuckethead]

That's got to be a double play

Then it would take a K from Small.

[chef dixon]

Then it would take a K from Small.

Ha true, but it also made him throw another 8 or so pitches

[RocketDawg]

How's everybody's streaming feed tonight? Mine's been perfect ... no glitches. I didn't even check to see if it was on the regular SEC Network.

[maroonmania]

Ha true, but it also made him throw another 8 or so pitches

Every factor possible has made Small throw the maximum number of pitches possible. Bama's taking a lot of pitches and when they swing they rarely ever make contact. No DPs as well to keep Small pitching. After 6 complete Small is over 105 pitches.

And the Alabama pitcher has 79. Is he the starter?

[Lord McBuckethead]

Rowdey looked like he started dancing back there for a few swings. Settle down man.

[Lord McBuckethead]

And the Alabama pitcher has 79. Is he the starter?

Yes.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Rowdey looked like he started dancing back there for a few swings. Settle down man.

I haven't seen him do it for like 7 games. Last two at bats, its back.

[chef dixon]

Their starter has been mowing us down since the 2nd on about 3 pitches per AB, he's not really doing anything special

[maroonmania]

And the Alabama pitcher has 79. Is he the starter?

Yep, our offense has been non-existent since the 2nd inning.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Bout time for Cumbest to get a HR. Wow ran that out.

[chef dixon]

Even when we get base hits both ABs there were 1 pitch lol

[Lord McBuckethead]

Alright, bout time for this guy to get pullled.

[Saltydog]

To be such an excellent offensive team we sure do seem to sometime go through stretches where we don't do anything for innings at a time.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Is Gunner giving us anything?

[Lord McBuckethead]

To be such an excellent offensive team we sure do seem to sometime go through stretches where we don't do anything for innings at a time.

Kind of like our mens basketball team going 8 minutes a game where they really didn't execute.

[maroonmania]

Is Gunner giving us anything?

Nothing offensively and he doesn't look that great at 3rd either. I would have rather just played Gilbert at 3rd if they are the same defensively.

[chef dixon]

We are so aggressive at the plate. The last 3 batters in that inning all were 1 pitch at bats

[msbulldog]

Good move, Small had about 100 pitches. Foxhall is a good pitching coach!

[Lord McBuckethead]

We are so aggressive at the plate. The last 3 batters in that inning all were 1 pitch at bats

Well atleast they were attacking. I was tired of the weak grounders to short.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Great charge by Foscue.

[chef dixon]

Liebelt doing Liebelt things

[Lord McBuckethead]

Liebelt, actually getting quick outs on the ground. Is he our only pitcher that does that?

[Lord McBuckethead]

Liebelt doing Liebelt things

Yep. Looked good. Its about time we let him stretch to 2.5 innings or so.

[Saltydog]

OR the football team against decent defenses...?..

[Lord McBuckethead]

Love Mangum, but that is a E1

[Lord McBuckethead]

Tough call, it may have been a hit.

[chef dixon]

Tough call, it may have been a hit.

Yea a composed throw and he's out, but hey we are at home and he's chasing history

[Lord McBuckethead]

Hell of a heads up by Mangum. Course we would all be cussing him if that guy applies the tag.

[chef dixon]

Mac and Jake have some of the biggest girodos in MSU sports history

[chef dixon]

Lol Foscue pimped that double didn't he?

[RocketDawg]

Foscue thought that one was well over.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Lol Foscue pimped that double didn't he?

Foscue is a beast, I forgive him, love his development this year

[R2Dawg]

Small just dealt Alabama a hand!

Ginn has gotten the headlines this year but Small has been dealing all year. He is a stud pitcher. Hope we can get Ginn back soon and find our Sun starter.

[Lord McBuckethead]

The rain just started hitting my house. It will be at the field in about 45 seconds.

[Lord McBuckethead]

They better get that tarp out. It is coming down pretty hard about 2 miles west of the stadium.

[chef dixon]

Very nice business like dismantling

[RocketDawg]

Game is over. Tarp can come out now.

[BeardoMSU]

Lol Foscue pimped that double didn't he?

Lol, don't care. Love it. Anywhere else in the park that ball would've been gone. I still can't believe it wasn't considering how well he squared it up.

[BeardoMSU]

Ginn has gotten the headlines this year but Small has been dealing all year. He is a stud pitcher. Hope we can get Ginn back soon and find our Sun starter.

Small has gotten double digit K's in every start, correct? Filthy.

[Todd4State]

Small has gotten double digit K's in every start, correct? Filthy.

No- 7 against Auburn and 6 against Sam Houston State. Every other start thus far has been 10+ K's.


Still pretty remarkable.

[Todd4State]

Yep. Looked good. Its about time we let him stretch to 2.5 innings or so.

I believe he has 7 scoreless IP now if I'm not mistaken. And I liked bringing in Colby White for the last inning to close it out.

[BeardoMSU]

No- 7 against Auburn and 6 against Sam Houston State. Every other start thus far has been 10+ K's.


Still pretty remarkable.

Ah, thanks for the correction. Still, like you said, it's remarkable. Is he still leading the SEC in K's?

[Todd4State]

Ah, thanks for the correction. Still, like you said, it's remarkable. Is he still leading the SEC in K's?

Yes. I think he put a little distance between himself and second place tonight too.

[tcdog70]

Is Gunner giving us anything?

Two hits

[99jc]

I believe he has 7 scoreless IP now if I'm not mistaken. And I liked bringing in Colby White for the last inning to close it out.

Todd as I said earlier White Should be our 9th inning closer. imo
