Tuesday night game thread

[RocketDawg]

Playing Texas Southern going into the top of the 2nd. State ahead 1-0.

[vv83]

Keegan’s in... didn’t think we’d see him tonight. We must feel JT is 100%

[Choctaw Dawg]

Keegan is the prince of the throwing 8 pitches to a batter before walking him. Cole Gordon is the king

[CadaverDawg]

Don't need to screw around and drop this one...would be a rpi killa

[MarketingBully]

Their pitcher is throwing 79-82 mph fastballs.

[Dawgcap]

One of these mid week slumber parties to start. I’m thinking next inning or 2 our bats wake up. Baseball is such a weird game

[Homedawg]

Nothing like walking a guy who is 1 for freaking 32 on the year

[MarketingBully]

Nothing like walking a guy who is 1 for freaking 32 on the year

He picked him off though. Nothing like scoring 1 run against a pitcher whose fastball is 79-82...

[MarketingBully]

Mangum sometimes let a couple of balls go by...

[Dawgcap]

He’s got to be coaching pitching to spots instead of competition. We are nibbling against guys we would blow away

[MarketingBully]

We are sleep walking through this game.

[MarketingBully]

Embarrassing at bats.

[MarketingBully]

We are letting BP fastball after BP fastball go by and then getting down 0-2, 1-2 almost every at bat.

[CadaverDawg]

Man I hope we don't lose this game

[Homedawg]

Mangum sometimes let a couple of balls go by...

It's part of it w him. No point in complaining about it.

[Homedawg]

We are letting BP fastball after BP fastball go by and then getting down 0-2, 1-2 almost every at bat.

Yet you want Mangum to take some. Can't win w you huh.

[Dawgcap]

The key is we are swinging at bp pitching when we usually face better. Quite an adjustment

[MarketingBully]

This is a game where we need to put all starters in the game. **** this lineup. Put Skelton in put your regulars in and put someone we trust in as a reliever. Nip this shit in the bud.

[MarketingBully]

Yet you want Mangum to take some. Can't win w you huh.

Don’t you think the pitcher knows Mangum swings at everything? He’s the one who could take a few and wait for his pitch.

[magrooder]

Heads up play by Eagan to cover third on the bunt

[Dawgcap]

Damn y’all. We are gonna have a few ugly mid week game. This ain’t the first we’ve had by the way. I’m calling a big inning upcoming

[Homedawg]

Don’t you think the pitcher knows Mangum swings at everything? He’s the one who could take a few and wait for his pitch.

He's hitting 400..... so maybe he's ok.... it's who he is. He's gotten better about not swinging at as many balls. But if it's a strike he's swinging. He's got the best bat control I've ever seen. He squares up more than anyone in the league. I'll give him a pass
Did it bother you when he swung at the first pitch of the game and got a hit? I'll answer for you no. That's what everyone says when he gets out, but not when it works.

[Homedawg]

It is tough when you face way below normal hit speed.

[MarketingBully]

Going to the 7th 1-1...

[MarketingBully]

It is tough when you face way below normal hit speed.

They’ve seen him enough to adjust. This is the 4th time through the order.

[PMDawg]

Man, what a horrible night so far...

[State82]

That was an abysmal plate approach in the 7th. Awful.

[MarketingBully]

Need to get on him here and at least win this one 4 or 5 to 1 but our batting has sucked tonight.

[MarketingBully]

I agree with Matt they should have just looked off speed all night knowing they could hit the fastball. His curve ball is as fast as his fastball.

[Homedawg]

They’ve seen him enough to adjust. This is the 4th time through the order.

3rd time through correct? About to be the 4th ....

[Homedawg]

I agree with Matt they should have just looked off speed all night knowing they could hit the fastball. His curve ball is as fast as his fastball.

Is this will James?? Holy shit. Matt knows nothing about baseball. That's just stupid. You can look soft on a particular pitch but not as a rule. No. Just no.

[Homedawg]

Matt also said we should think about sac bunting w one out. That should tell you all you need to know.

[MarketingBully]

Is this will James?? Holy shit. Matt knows nothing about baseball. That's just stupid. You can look soft on a particular pitch but not as a rule. No. Just no.

You can berate me all you want and it won’t change the fact that it’s ****ing 1-1 going to the 8th.

[MarketingBully]

Is this will James?? Holy shit. Matt knows nothing about baseball. That's just stupid. You can look soft on a particular pitch but not as a rule. No. Just no.

The guy’s fastball is the same speed as his offspeed stuff. If you look fastball you are going to look dumb as soft as a thrower as this guy was. That’s what happened. We looked fastball all night and this soft thrower made us look silly.

[Dawgcap]

It also won’t change the fact we are 31-6. Bad games happen. Find a way to win and learn from it. The UNA loss hasn’t hurt Mississippi if they finish strong. Great teams have battles with bad teams in baseball. We ain’t immune

That loss might be the difference between them hosting and being a 2 seed. Trust me it hurts. That loss LSU had to Southern will hurt their ass too.

[MarketingBully]

Okay, let’s just score a couple runs here this inning and escape with a win...bad bad night at the plate.

[Homedawg]

You can berate me all you want and it won’t change the fact that it’s ****ing 1-1 going to the 8th.

I'm not berating you. It was just a bad baseball comment. And it's baseball. Game isn't over either. But carry on w your melt

[Homedawg]

It's not like he's shoving it up our ass. We had 7 hits 3 times through the order we just haven't scored. So another melting comment. Just ridiculous.

[Dawgcap]

Believe what you want but if you are a Top 2 team in the SEC you negate a bad mid week game.

[Dawgcap]

That’s for a National seed. Top 5 gives you a host. We need to win but make no mistake this game is irrelevant with the upcoming 5 SEC series

[MarketingBully]

Two on no outs. I just want a run. Just need to win...

[MarketingBully]

Excellent! 2nd and 3rd nobody out. Just need to win this one.

[Dawgcap]

So Lemonis complain about that. Which was of no help for us if it’s fair

[MarketingBully]

Nice! 2-1! Let’s add more!

[MarketingBully]

Please take this guy out!

[Homedawg]

So Lemonis complain about that. Which was of no help for us if it’s fair

Sure it would have. Bases would have been loaded if it were fair. But it was foul.

[Dawgcap]

That’s why it was no point in arguing. Bases loaded and no outs isn’t as good with 2-3 with no outs and Foscue still batting

[Homedawg]

That’s why it was no point in arguing. Bases loaded and no outs isn’t as good with 2-3 with no outs and Foscue still batting

Huh??? I'll take bases loaded.

[MarketingBully]

Good going for 3-1 so far.

[msudawg1200]

Texas Southern lost to New Mexico State 38-6.

[Homedawg]

Good going for 3-1 so far.

Have you relaxed yet?? Hahah.

[Dawgcap]

Huh??? I'll take bases loaded.

Ha! Normally I would but I wanted Foscue 1 more swing with no force at the plate. Just knew we score when he signaled foul. Crazy game and my crazy thoughts

[Homedawg]

Texas Southern lost to New Mexico State 38-6.


And???

[MarketingBully]

Have you relaxed yet?? Hahah.

I just want the W at this point.

[Homedawg]

I just want the W at this point.

Scoring margin won't matter. So yes.

[MarketingBully]

Now I’m relaxed!!!! 5-1!

[MarketingBully]

Skelton to the rescue lol!

[chef dixon]

Skelton's gotta be juicing this year

[Homedawg]

Now I’m relaxed!!!! 5-1!

Good!!!

[MarketingBully]

Skelton's gotta be juicing this year

You missed the *****...you can’t be serious.

[chef dixon]

You missed the *****...you can’t be serious.

It's not always necessary

[AlSwearengen]

I remember years when we would beat Jackson State 25-1 or something similar and then go into a major slump against good SEC pitchers and shit the bed come regional time.

I’m not sure that struggling a little bit against these type teams, sandwiched between an sec sweep and a big sec series is a bad thing as long as you get the W.

You get a chance to recharge mentally and refocus. The only negative is not getting some younger players playing time.

Anytime you can refocus and learn and still win, it’s a good thing. The biggest positive from tonight is we pitched it pretty well. Nights like this winning is all that matters imo.

[Dawgcap]

My take away is the offense struggled but our coaches pitched this game as if it was a conference or tournament game. He made them hit spots and didn’t deviate. He learned something about a few of our pitchers tonight. Offense will be fine Thursday

[MarketingBully]

5-1 Dogs win. Glad we got the W. Now let’s win the series at Arkansas.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Skelton's gotta be juicing this year

He was a premium HS talent, finally panning out. More like he stopped dogging this year and now he will be a decent draft pick. He is on track to match and exceed jack Kruger this year who we all highly-regard and who was All SEC

[Lord McBuckethead]

Yet you want Mangum to take some. Can't win w you huh.

Well when the ball is 82 and 7 inches outside and low, let the 17er pass.

[Homedawg]

We had 10 hits. Glad to struggle.

[Homedawg]

When did he swing at one 7" outside. He didn't.

[Todd4State]

We won a game where we didn't give a rip and now per RPI it's impossible for us to have any bad losses this year.

I'll take it.

[Dawgcap]

We had 10 hits. Glad to struggle.

The hits were spread out. It was a struggle but see I didn’t believe it would stay that way. At the point I posted we were in a tough spot but in multiple posts I said we would come through. The offense was a struggle today but I think we coached pitchers to spots tonight instead of just blowing them away. As weird as it sounds we got better tonight
