Rubber match vs the Aggie weirdos

[CadaverDawg]

Come on, boys....brush it off and let's win this series. Would be a huge series win

[The Federalist Engineer]

plumlee

Vs

Christian Roa, RHP, 6-4 210 with good conference Stats, Sophomore

[confucius say]

Pitching pairing?

[CadaverDawg]

Plumlee for us, not sure for them

[Goldendawg]

What time does the game start? After game 2, I suddenly realized how much I hate 7 inning games. Hail State!

[basedog]

Time for Westburg and McNamee to get out of this funk!

Another low scoring game.

[Saltydog]

Effing Lemonis?..Westy has got to move down the order...?.It's not real complicated......

[RougeDawg]

Holy shit. Like I did last thread we look like the Arkansas series today. Jake cannot get picked and it should be 3 times in 3 weekends.

[KOdawg1]

1-0 let's go.

Not a must win game, but it's pretty close

[RougeDawg]

Maybe they seeing eye single gets Mac out of the funk. It took a hit and run to force him to swing at a decent pitch.

[Matt3467]

Someone may have already mentioned it somewhere, but why was game 2 shortened? Is it weather related or is it customary for double header games to be shortened? Just doesn't seem right when we could've had two more innings to try and win it.

[Percho]

by rule

[HoopsDawg]

The second I saw Skeleton make the turn I said he's gunned. What a poor decision.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Didn't then1st baseman run infront of Skelton as he made the turn?

[Lord McBuckethead]

Aggies just threw a pitch about 57 feet.

[Percho]

I think Skelton was safe. I think the replay guys were thinking maybe he was tagged on the left leg with no replay to shoe he wasn't.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Westburg, swing the bat. No grounder.

[RougeDawg]

Terrible AB by Westburg.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Well 17 westburg.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Its time to swing early here allen

[RougeDawg]

One thing I?ve noticed with out guys is they do not read down angle on a pitch and take extra bases. Jake should be standing on 2nd right now. No excuse for that.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Terrible at bats by our 2nd and 3rd hitters.

[Saltydog]

Good Lord......What a waste of a potentially big inning...?.

[CadaverDawg]

Terrible at bats by our 2nd and 3rd hitters.

Seems like we're saying that a lot these days

[Lord McBuckethead]

One thing I?ve noticed with out guys is they do not read down angle on a pitch and take extra bases. Jake should be standing on 2nd right now. No excuse for that.

What? The outfielder threw the ball immediately to 2nd. If anything Gilbert should have scored easily.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Seems like we're saying that a lot these days

I am to the point where we should be looking to squeeze bunt when our 2-5 hitters come up.

[RougeDawg]

What? The outfielder threw the ball immediately to 2nd. If anything Gilbert should have scored easily.

Please read again. Down angle on pitches. He had two that AB by Allen he could have taken 2nd. One was a no doubter standing up swipe of 2nd.

[HoopsDawg]

Pick that. Come on!

[Bdawg]

Pick that. Come on!

Just an easy long hop

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Someone may have already mentioned it somewhere, but why was game 2 shortened? Is it weather related or is it customary for double header games to be shortened? Just doesn't seem right when we could've had two more innings to try and win it.

Doubleheaders are two 9 inning games. The exception is when the doubleheader is on the last day of the series. Then it is two 7 inning games. Since this was a Thursday-Saturday series, today's doubleheader will be 7 innings each. That's the rule.

[TNDawg35]

Did the old guy in the booth really say that people travel big time to come see Blue Bell Park cause it’s the absolute palace of college baseball??

[MarketingBully]

Our hitting just sucks on the road. It puts a ton of pressure on our pitching and when we play a good hitting team at their place we get swept. Our hitters will have to show up next weekend.

[ShotgunDawg]

Tanner Allen has a tough task this weekend vs A&M's lefties but Westburg looks lost.

Lefties give us trouble because they turn Mangum and Rowdy around, Allen can't hit them, and, if they can pitch inside, Westburg has a massive hole.

[ShotgunDawg]

Our hitting just sucks on the road. It puts a ton of pressure on our pitching and when we play a good hitting team at home we get swept.

You really think it's the road?

[MarketingBully]

You really think it's the road?

Hell yes I do.

[chef dixon]

Doxakis and Lacy are legit pros

[KOdawg1]

We're a good hitting team. We're just facing some good pitchers this weekend. Only problem with that is there will be good arms in a super regional and Omaha too.

[CadaverDawg]

Damn Macnamee

[CadaverDawg]

Gotta love how Westburg doesn't even know its ball 4. And you wonder why he strikes out so much...doesn't know the damn count

[MarketingBully]

We're a good hitting team. We're just facing some good pitchers this weekend. Only problem with that is there will be good arms in a super regional and Omaha too.

We haven’t battled today. We battle at home. How many strikeouts have been looking? How many fastball strikes have we just watched go by? We don’t do that at home. We do that on the road.

[MarketingBully]

Damn Macnamee

2-28 in his last nine games. Time to move his ass down in the lineup.

[CadaverDawg]

Nah, let's let him cost us this series first**

[MarketingBully]

Nah, let's let him cost us this series first**

We will win this series only because A&M is a shit hitting team. Period.

[CadaverDawg]

Kiss of death

[MarketingBully]

This series reminds me of the Tennessee series. Now we are just hitting pop ups. Similar to that series as well.

[KOdawg1]

Giving the Aggie defense lots of fielding practice for sure

[KOdawg1]

At least Plumlee is having another good outing. A couple of weeks ago, we had 2 starters and a bunch of mental midgets. Plumlee has stoned up and competed the last few weeks, and that's great to see.

Also, the bullpen essentially has been given the week off with these two 7 inning games, which is good as well. Save as many bullets as we can for postseason.

[Percho]

Heck of a play. Luck.

[MarketingBully]

Bad luck that inning 3 well hit balls two for outs.

[RougeDawg]

Bad luck that inning 3 well hit balls two for outs.

The solid contact Is promising for the future.

[MarketingBully]

We have to do a better job battling at the plate on the road. That is what is missing this weekend. Too many non-competitive at bats especially at the beginning of the lineup.

[KOdawg1]

Foscue bomb! 13th of the year.

[KOdawg1]

That's off their closer too.

[MarketingBully]

Luckily Foscue got one out and we lead 4-1. Will be a good series win but our hitters need to be just as competitive on the road as at home. Will need the bats next weekend if we are going to take that series.

[RougeDawg]

On the flip side it?s better to struggle now and win ugly, instead of struggling in post season.

If Mac and Westburg can come around with the pitching being more solid, we are a tough team to beat.

[MarketingBully]

Why was Plumlee in there? Lemonis is an idiot.

[mparkerfd20]

We will win this series only because A&M is a shit hitting team. Period.

**** you for saying that before the last inning was over. Damn jinx.

[SailingDawg]

Why don't we let a closer finish the game here? Instead, it's 4-2 with a man on third and no outs.

[West Tn Dawg]

Why don't we let a closer finish the game here? Instead, it's 4-2 with a man on third and no outs.

I'm not allowed to say.

[mparkerfd20]

Probably just lost

[magrooder]

Wow. Can't make it easy on us. Good series win, but damn they made me nervous.

[msbulldog]

damn that was too close!

[RougeDawg]

Never easy being a Mississippi State fan.

[Saltydog]

Could be because we don't really have one...?...We've got Cole and his era of almost 6...?.Colby White and his awful era...?..The bp is this teams achilles and will cost them in the post season....

[MarketingBully]

**** you for saying that before the last inning was over. Damn jinx.

We ****ing won the game so **** you!!!!

[CadaverDawg]

MONSTROUS VICTORY

[CJDAWG85]

Final: 4-3 State

[Percho]

We should have scored 8 to 10 runs in those 7 innings.

[MarketingBully]

Good series win but we need better competitive at bats on the road. We put too much pressure on our pitching staff on the road. Need better competitive at bats if we want to win the series next weekend at Ole Miss. And btw, why not bring the closer in the game for the last inning instead of Plumlee who they saw well the last two innings. Coach Lemonis almost lost us that game but luckily Leibelt got us out of there just in time.

[maroonmania]

Could be because we don't really have one...?...We've got Cole and his era of almost 8...?.Colby White and his awful era...?..The bp is this teams achilles and will cost them in the post season....

Liebelt appears to be the only guy out of the bullpen we really have any trust in at the moment.

[WPDawg]

Good series win on the road. Its SEC baseball. Nothing is easy.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Great series win with so many key hitters slumping. Plus on the road.

Could have won 3 but TAM is an alright ball club.

They are Tennessee and the series went very similar to that one. Lost 2-1 and 1-0. Had our hitters been competitive in both those games, we are probably being looked at hard as the number 1 overall seed and fighting for an SEC championship.

[CadaverDawg]

I was hoping we wouldn't get swept, so I'm elated with a series win

[maroonmania]

I think there is enough data for us to realize that we aren't nearly as potent an offense on the road as at home. Very important we maintain national seed status so we don't have to go on the road to make Omaha.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Good series win on the road. Its SEC baseball. Nothing is easy.

Absolutely correct. Any time you can take 2 on the road against a top 20 RPI team in this league, you have to be happy.

[chef dixon]

Yall are crazy. We are damn good in almost every phase.

[MarketingBully]

I think there is enough data for us to realize that we aren't nearly as potent an offense on the road as at home. Very important we maintain national seed status so we don't have to go on the road to make Omaha.

We are at 15 conference wins. I don’t see how they can keep us from a national seed with 18 or 19 SEC wins. That’s just going 2/3 over the next two weeks. We are at 38-10 right now. I could easily see us at least finishing the regular season at 6-2 and 44-12 overall. That should pretty much sew up a national seed.

[mparkerfd20]

We ****ing won the game so **** you!!!!

Haha I'll take it since we won.

[HoopsDawg]

Thank goodness for that Foscue dinger.

[Todd4State]

Our SEC road games- RPI 30 (UF), 9 (UT), 4 (ARK), and 17 (A&M). Also A&M and UT are the top two ranked pitching staffs in the SEC right now. The fact that we have won three out of four road series so far is impressive. We're not bad on the road- but we're even better in Starkville.

Georgia would have been by far the best pitching staff in the league had we not put 34 runs on them last week.
