Georgia Game-1 Thread

[The Federalist Engineer]

Halter at 3b and Gilbert at DH

No Cumbest versus the Georgia LHP (CJ Smith 3W-2L ERA 3.05 OBA .202)

[Saltydog]

And Mangum is picked off.....He's aggressive in every phase of the game.....Sometimes it pays off and sometimes, well...??.

[MarketingBully]

Yeah, he got a hit but his error allowed a run. Westburg still struggling. But a lot of baseball to go.

[TNDawg35]

Westburg looks like shit right now... I would think about swapping him and Foscue for a bit.

I just wish I had a buck for every time Mangum has made a wasted out on the bases over his career.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Small is bad today- Damn

Hitting a 173 hitter, how come Halter never gets hit

[msstate7]

I just wish I had a buck for every time Mangum has made a wasted out on the bases over his career.

Been a few. I'd rather have a buck for every time he's been on base.

[The Federalist Engineer]

You'd have about 8 bucks, but he is Mangum, he's a baller

[KOdawg1]

I was thinking the same thing. Foscue or Mac. Can't have your 2 hole hitter striking out that much. It kills an inning.

[maroonmania]

8 to 10 a year so I'd have about 40 bucks. Great hitter but he makes some wtf outs on the bases.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Small fights out of a Jam - still just 0-1

But 43 pitches in just 2 innings

[MarketingBully]

He’ll still make it to the 5th 6th inning. Having his pitch count low didn’t help him last week. He’s just going to pitch into the sixth no matter what.

[KOdawg1]

Foscue is currently our best hitter.

[KOdawg1]

Man on 3rd with one out. Gotta figure out a way to get him in.

[KOdawg1]

And he did. Atta boy Rowdey

With all those bucks, you might be able to get a meal at one of the more upscale fast food places.

[maroonmania]

Good job Jordan!

[maroonmania]

I'd rather our players just stop wasting outs on the bases.

[Quaoarsking]

I'd rather our players just stop wasting outs on the bases.

I don't disagree, but I feel pretty sure that Jake's aggressive approach to baserunning has scored us more runs than it's cost us.

[MarketingBully]

I like the fire from Lemonis!!!

[magrooder]

Hey, hey Halter with the RBI

[MarketingBully]

Woot! Wtg Halter!!!

[BayouDawg]

Way too many Barney Fife umpires in this league

[maroonmania]

I don't disagree, but I feel pretty sure that Jake's aggressive approach to baserunning has scored us more runs than it's cost us.

Not to get sidetracked on this discussion, but Mangum's aggressive baserunning usually works well against teams that aren't that good, where the runs aren't as important. But when he gets sloppy against good teams he hurts us because him being on the bases is more important and every wasted out is more important because runs are at a premium. Heck, he got picked off last weekend in the first game against Arkansas that killed that first inning rally. Game might have gone totally different if he hadn't.

[BayouDawg]

Great job putting pressure on this pitcher early and often

[notsofarawaydawg]

If a frog had wings it wouldn’t bump his ass. SMFH

[maroonmania]

Keep it going guys! Come on Tanner.

[Dawgcap]

But what about the runs that are produced by being aggressive. Can’t remember the bad without thinking about the positives

[maroonmania]

Boy, had a chance to really put them away there if Mac could have come through. Good inning though.

[MarketingBully]

That was ball four Mac...

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Thru two innings:
Small 43 pitches
uGA starter 49 pitches

[MarketingBully]

Boy, had a chance to really put them away there if Mac could have come through. Good inning though.

Excellent inning but we needed to knock that pitcher out.

[maroonmania]

That was ball four Mac...

Yep, not sure why he was even swinging there when the guy had only thrown one strike in his last 8 pitches.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Lemonis sparked us with the fire on the Ump

But he needs classes on looking like a crazy man when he argues. Saying polite things while looking homicidal is a gift that JC had

[maroonmania]

Excellent inning but we needed to knock that pitcher out.

We seem to know little about working a pitcher that's on the ropes. No need for Mac to swing there until he had 2 strikes.

[The Federalist Engineer]

The Texas A&M copycat with ball 6, 7, 8 chants needs to escorted out

We don't copy those idiots, com'on mane

[MarketingBully]

We seem to know little about working a pitcher that's on the ropes. No need for Mac to swing there until he had 2 strikes.

Yeah, I agree with you but still we worked enough of him to coax a 4-1 lead. That’s why I like playing Gilbert. He does a great job of working counts when he bats.

[maroonmania]

Come on Rowdey, that ball has to be swung at with 2 strikes.

[MarketingBully]

Hey Gilbert Lasered it. I’ll take it.

[maroonmania]

Dang, Gilbert tattoos the ball right at the SS for a line out double play. Foscue gets off too far and we give away another out on the bases.

[MarketingBully]

Skelton and Gilbert really upped that pitcher’s pitch count. I like putting them both together. I guess as a catcher you are more inclined to work counts.

[Homedawg]

And Mangum is picked off.....He's aggressive in every phase of the game.....Sometimes it pays off and sometimes, well...??.

I'm at the game so I didn't get a replay. But how do you know it wasn't a one way steal, going on first move? If it was, it's not his fault. Coach coulda guessed wrong.

It was a steal. He just guessed wrong.

[maroonmania]

Really good inning from Small. On to the bottom of the 4th.

[MarketingBully]

Nice 1-2-3 inning for Small retired 8 in a row...4-1 good guys!

[MarketingBully]

I loved Lemonis getting on to that ump regarding the interference call! Love seeing the fire from him! We are batting much better and being more selective at the plate. The approach is completely different then last weekend.

[MarketingBully]

Halter really doing well at the plate this game!

[Homedawg]

It was a steal. He just guessed wrong.

I know it was a steal. A one way steal against a left handed you go as soon as he picks his leg up.

[maroonmania]

Nice hit by Allen for an RBI!

[maroonmania]

You aren't going to get one out to LF tonight. That ball Mac hit was hammered but it barely made it to the edge of the warning track.

[Saltydog]

We really need to chase this pitcher and start getting into their bullpen.....

[Homedawg]

Big hit by westy and Jake ran right thru a stop sign

[MarketingBully]

This is Mississippi State baseball! Love the mettle of the team after laying an egg last week.

[MarketingBully]

Hell yeah 12-2! Good guys!

[maroonmania]

Now 14-2. Hope we save a few runs for tomorrow and Sunday. Mangum 2 hits from tying the record.

[MarketingBully]

14-2 MSU! This is what I’m talking about!

[MarketingBully]

Now 14-2. Hope we save a few runs for tomorrow and Sunday. Mangum 2 hits from tying the record.

I’m just glad we have a patient approach at the plate. We’ve allowed Georgia to beat themselves. Great momentum to start the weekend.

[CadaverDawg]

This is a beat down! HailState

Let's not waste any good pitchers & this is a great night

[BeardoMSU]

This is a beat down! HailState

Let's not waste any good pitchers & this is a great night

Also, can we have a few of our runs back to re-use for tomorrow and Sunday?**

[magrooder]

Great play by Allen.

[MarketingBully]

This is a beat down! HailState

Let's not waste any good pitchers & this is a great night

I like using Brandon Smith here. We will need him down the stretch and this is good experience during a blow out.

[MarketingBully]

17-2! Holy moly!

[SailingDawg]

Mangum with 351 hits, and they walked him twice tonight.

[BeardoMSU]

We are hate-****ing them...

[MarketingBully]

He’s 1 hit away from tieing and two from the record. He should get it tomorrow.

[CadaverDawg]

Brock showing out. I like that kid...knows his role, goes in and throws strikes

[MarketingBully]

We are literally destroying them and our game thread is only 4 pages. Guys, where are you? I melted last week I admit it but you will see me all over this game thread cheering our team on and how great we are doing. Come on guys! Let’s celebrate! We are killing the #5 team 17-2!

[MarketingBully]

18-2!

[Dawgcap]

He may have a chance to tie tonight

[The Federalist Engineer]

We are messing up their pretty ERA tonight

[Cloak]

Let's score 20

[The Federalist Engineer]

Good to get the freshman some innings. Let's put up 18 tomorrow so we can get Cerantola some SEC work, with no stress

[MarketingBully]

19-2 that is a skull dragging. 3 more outs to go.

[CadaverDawg]

Good to get the freshman some innings. Let's put up 18 tomorrow so we can get Cerantola some SEC work, with no stress

Amen

[Commercecomet24]

Pretty good response by the boys so far this week. We got some pretty good leaders on this team.

[MarketingBully]

I’ll say in two games we’ve outscored OM and Georgia 27-4.

[Homedawg]

I seriously doubt Cerantola is on the 27 man roster. Matter of fact I'm almost certain of it.

[SailingDawg]

OM put up teens on A&M as well. But Louisville beat Alabama A&M 32-1.

[MarketingBully]

Excellent win and great bounce back game! Let’s win tomorrow and take the series!

[BuckyIsAB****]

Its funny to me....the Arkansas threads were 20 pages long but a 19-3 ass whipping of a consensus top 5-10 team the thread is only 4 pages long.

Some of yall love to pile on and bitch but are nowhere to be found when we are winning.

[Commercecomet24]

Let me just leave this here. Dustin Skelton is as valuable in the locker room as he is on the field. Dude has serious respect in that locker room.

Rep given Bucky!

[Skydawg1]

Melt threads always longer than blowout threads. It is what it is. Tomorrow will be a much different ballgame.

[Lord McBuckethead]

I just wish I had a buck for every time Mangum has made a wasted out on the bases over his career.

37 dollars. Still, better than not being on base at all those 37 times.

[Todd4State]

Not a lot to complain about tonight. We have a tough match up with Locey tomorrow. If we win tomorrow we'll probably sweep them.

Hopefully we're starting to come together and really click. It's pretty big that we didn't use our main bullpen guys tonight as well.

Hey I was here all throughout this thread.
