Game vs Memphis

[RocketDawg]

3 walks and a run so far, no outs. How long will we stay with Keegan?

[Dawg2003]

Keegan doesn't need to come back for the rest of the year. Whatever has happened to home, it's not fixable this season.

[VandelayIndustries]

Thanks Keegan, hell of a start

[Mjoelner34]

Eagan and Smith up in the bullpen.

[CJDAWG85]

They need to shut him down. He has no confidence out there.

[MarketingBully]

Dumb as hell to let him go that long.

[TNDawg35]

27 pitches and 7 strikes

[HoopsDawg]

Dumb as hell to let him go that long.

Took us a long time to get someone to the bullpen.

[Mjoelner34]

I'd have someone in the pen warm before I let James or Cerantola step on the field.

[West Tn Dawg]

Well this sucks!

[state66]

Jake Mangum may be our best bullpen arm this year.

[TNDawg35]

Thanks Keegan....

[MarketingBully]

This is all on Keegan ****ing James. 3-0 and have the bases loaded with no outs. I’m not watching this shit show.

[West Tn Dawg]

Thanks Keegan....

Thanks Lemonis!

[Drugdog]

Good bye National Seed. Thanks Keegan!

[MarketingBully]

Good bye National Seed. Thanks Keegan!

That’s right. A loss here would knock us out of that possibly unless we basically finish extremely strong in the league. Would be a horrible RPI loss.

[chef dixon]

Every team in the nation has lost to a shit midweek team except us. And we prob are gonna win this game anyway

[maroonmania]

Good bye National Seed. Thanks Keegan!

Geez, just catching up but 7 runs on 4 freakin' hits with James walking 4 of the first 6 batters he faces and gives up singles to the other 2. He couldn't have pitched any worse if he had been purposely trying to throw the game.

[BeardoMSU]

Every team in the nation has lost to a shit midweek team except us. And we prob are gonna win this game anyway

This^^

We'll win 12-8.

[maroonmania]

This^^

We'll win 12-8.

Who do we have that is going to hold them to only 1 more run?

[MarketingBully]

We were struggling too much at the plate to leave Keegan in that long.

[BeardoMSU]

Who do we have that is going to hold them to only 1 more run?

Thoughts and prayers.***

[MarketingBully]

Who do we have that is going to hold them to only 1 more run?

And our hitting hasn’t been stellar over the past three game series either.

[Drugdog]

So my 10 year old English bulldog got as many outs tonight as Keegan. And my dog is not on scholarship..

[maroonmania]

So my 10 year old English bulldog got as many outs tonight as Keegan. And my dog is not on scholarship..

Yep, I'm fine if we don't see Keegan again this year at any point.

[HooverDawg]

That?s right. A loss here would knock us out of that possibly unless we basically finish extremely strong in the league. Would be a horrible RPI loss.

LOLOL

[Cooterpoot]

I will say again- Lemons needs to learn to pull guys when they suck ass.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Who do we have that is going to hold them to only 1 more run?

Don't know, but that is a good point.

[Homedawg]

Good bye National Seed. Thanks Keegan!

Good grief dude. Climb off the ledge.

[Cooterpoot]

We’re screwed if we lose a game in the regional and have to find someone to throw.

[West Tn Dawg]

I will say again- Lemons needs to learn to pull guys when they suck ass.

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!

[NCDawg]

I will say again- Lemons needs to learn to pull guys when they suck ass.

Agree. He should have had somebody in the bullpen when he sent James out there, based on his latest outings. He's struggling right now.

[Quaoarsking]

The idea that 1 loss to a team with an RPI in the 110s, out of the ~60 games we'll play this season, will damage our resume so much that we fall out of the "national seed"* range is pretty silly.

*-FYI, "national seed" now means top 16, not just top 8, since they seed all of the 1 seeds now.

[ShotgunDawg]

Skelton has had a great year, but man he can look like shit at the plate sometimes.

[Homedawg]

That?s right. A loss here would knock us out of that possibly unless we basically finish extremely strong in the league. Would be a horrible RPI loss.

My Lord this is so stupid.so if we run the table or just lose one more if we lose this we are toast? Damn. Not one but two that need to get off ledge. Unreal

[Homedawg]

First part correct. Second part bad wrong. National seed means host in a super. So top 8.

[ShotgunDawg]

We’re screwed if we lose a game in the regional and have to find someone to throw.

We'll be fine. Tonight will help us find that guy.

The "Yips club" of James and Ceratola has definitely been a challenge this season

[maroonmania]

Well Gilbert at least gets us back in the game!

[BeardoMSU]

Hmm....

[ShotgunDawg]

Atta boy Gilbert.

One of be strengths of this team as 1-9 can hit the ball out.

[Quaoarsking]

First part correct. Second part bad wrong. National seed means host in a super. So top 8.

It used to, but not anymore. "National seed" refers to all seeded teams, 1-16. But I know what people mean, I'm just being pedantic.

[Turfdawg67]

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!

EXPOSED AGAIN!!! Right W Tn Dawg!! What a douchebag.

[Saltydog]

Better get to doing it then because there's rain not too far off. That could work out good with us being so far behind.

[chef dixon]

We expect all our pitchers to be shut down guys for some reason. This is college baseball. People struggle and then people step up. We have literally rode 2 pitchers to and through Omaha before. We have 3 legit starters this season, yet we will complain.

[Saltydog]

We'll go as far as Small, Ginn and possibly Plumlee can take us. No 4th starter and questionable BP is this teams achilles. Good Lord, James is just horrible right now.

[Turfdawg67]

We expect all our pitchers to be shut down guys for some reason. This is college baseball. People struggle and then people step up. We have literally rode 2 pitchers to and through Omaha before. We have 3 legit starters this season, yet we will complain.

What? No! Every pitch should be a perfect just-off-the-plate strike and we should get our head out of our asses when we bat. Baseball is simple dude.

[West Tn Dawg]

EXPOSED AGAIN!!! Right W Tn Dawg!! What a douchebag.

Grow up Punk! Are you 12 or 13?
Lemonis gets exposed almost every game.

[BeardoMSU]

Lemonis gets exposed almost every game.

Yeah, except for those 38 games we've won so far, lol...

[Turfdawg67]

No, you are EXPOSED as a shitty fan (or possibly a bear). When you were "done" with this team we went 6 for 7 against Top 25 teams. How about you stay away?!?

[West Tn Dawg]

Yeah, except for those 38 games we've won so far, lol...

Don't have to lose to expose a coaches weakness. His is getting up. Love the way you guys can't stand someone to disagree with you. At least you didn't start the name calling.
Now, I'm done with you two. Enjoy the game.

[West Tn Dawg]

No, you are EXPOSED as a shitty fan (or possibly a bear). When you were "done" with this team we went 6 for 7 against Top 25 teams. How about you stay away?!?

Nope going to games at MSU when you were just a thought. Enjoy the game.

[BeardoMSU]

Don't have to lose to expose a coaches weakness. His is getting up. Love the way you guys can't stand someone to disagree with you. At least you didn't start the name calling.
Now, I'm done with you two. Enjoy the game.

I addressed you with a single comment, and now you're "done with me"? Wut? Good to know you can handle people disagreeing with you, lol.

Btw, we all missed you this weekend during the A&M series.**

[maroonmania]

We HAVE to move MacNamee out of the cleanup spot. He is an automatic rally killer right now.

[West Tn Dawg]

I addressed you with a single comment, and now you're "done with me"? Wut? Good to know you can handle people disagreeing with you, lol.

Btw, we all missed you this weekend during the A&M series.**

No you didn't. Go back and look at the game thread. I'm good with you. Just not going to argue. Thanks

[West Tn Dawg]

Been nice if that had gotten down the line.

What has changed with Westburg? He is in a terrible slump?

[West Tn Dawg]

Here's your chance Riley. Shut-em down!

[Saltydog]

I'd like to see Rowdey back in the 2 hole and move everyone else down......

[maroonmania]

I bet if you go back and add all the runs we've given up in the first inning of midweek games its more than we've given up in innings 2-9 of midweek games combined.

[BayouDawg]

Things I will never understand. College pitchers that cant throw strikes and college receivers that cant catch. Somehow we find every last one of them on the recruiting trail though.

[ShotgunDawg]

That is some of the worst, most brain dead base running I've ever witnessed.

I'm not sure if that was on Cheese or Gilbert, but that is absurdly ridiculous base running

Getting thrown out at home plate by 2 steps, with 1 out, is inexcusable & a complete breakdown in communication, brain waves, or coaching

[Homedawg]

Cheese went full fledge idiot there. Thanks.

[Saltydog]

We seem to do a lot of poor baserunning......

[Homedawg]

That is some of the worst, most brain dead base running I've ever witnessed.

I'm not sure if that was on Cheese or Gilbert, but that is absurdly ridiculous base running

Unless he ran a stop sign , which we've been known to do, it's absolutely on cheese. Dumb as shit.

[ShotgunDawg]

Cheese went full fledge idiot there. Thanks.

It may have been on Gilbert. Hard to know who was the idiot there, but rest assured someone was

[BayouDawg]

Yea that was head in the ass. I could understand it with 2 outs but we would have had 2nd and 3rd with 1 out.

[West Tn Dawg]

Did he send him? Didn't see. I have seen several times they ran through a stop sign. Next fly would have scored him! Dang!

[Homedawg]

It may have been on Gilbert. Hard to know who was the idiot there, but rest assured someone was

Again, we've run stop signs before..... but if he did, he needs a chewing. If not, cheese needs it. He wasn't on his own to make the decision.

[Lord McBuckethead]

*-FYI, "national seed" now means top 16, not just top 8, since they seed all of the 1 seeds now.

National seed means top 8 only.

[Dawgcap]

I sent a post time to get a couple runs before this at bat by accident to Reggie Perry thread. May have been good luck

[Dawgcap]

The thread does slow down when we start rallying

[West Tn Dawg]

I sent a post time to get a couple runs before this at bat by accident to Reggie Perry thread. May have been good luck

Well, post some more! LOL

[BayouDawg]

Way to fight dawgs! Dont like getting down 7 but good job battling

[Scared_Hitless]

The team has alot more grit than fans on this board give them credit for.

[Dawgcap]

Nice! Tie game

[ScoobaDawg]

Good bye National Seed. Thanks Keegan!

Freak out much? jeez you would think yall would learn by now.

[Dawgcap]

Time to get some confidence for our bullpen. Great job since the first

[West Tn Dawg]

Good inning. Took what they gave us and didn't run our self out of it.

[Quaoarsking]

National seed means top 8 only.

Not anymore. It used to be that way, but the NCAA now seeds all of the 1 seeds 1-16, rather than just the top 8, and considers all to be national seeds.

You can see in these articles when the NCAA refer to "national seeds," it's talking about 16 of them.

[Jack Lambert]

Freak out much? jeez you would think yall would learn by now.

Sometimes I wonder is this a sports message board or a French army message board.

Call it whatever you want but you want to be top 8... 9-16 you will travel for super regional if top seed you are matched against doesnt lose.

[ScoobaDawg]

Sometimes I wonder is this a sports message board or a French army message board.


People say something stupid.. INCLUDING in a game thread... they can be called out on it. We aren't losing this game..

[West Tn Dawg]

TA is stroking it! Great at bat!!!!

[ScoobaDawg]

dawgs take the lead 8-7

[Dawgcap]

We gotta ride with the horses that brung us.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Hey dude behind the plate, stop doing the YMCA.

[RocketDawg]

People say something stupid.. INCLUDING in a game thread... they can be called out on it. We aren't losing this game..

Pretty good comeback, huh?

There seems to be more people in the high-dollar gray seats tonight. Are those seats opened up at some point in the game?

[Dawgcap]

It is funny that the bitchers on the first 2 pages have got quiet

[RocketDawg]

Hey dude behind the plate, stop doing the YMCA.


Yeah, noticed that.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Seriously. Everytime you do the YMCA thing, you look stupid and so far we have F7, G6, and a K.

[chef dixon]

James just wanted everyone in our bull pen to get some work since our starters have pretty much done everything the last 2 weeks

[Lord McBuckethead]

Hancock needs to work on framing a pitch

[RocketDawg]

Seriously. Everytime you do the YMCA thing, you look stupid and so far we have F7, G6, and a K.

Looks like he left his seat.

[ShotgunDawg]

Barlow commands his curveball way better than his fastball.

Thus, he should be throwing his CB 60-70% of the time.

[Saltydog]

Barlow has struggled badly with his control as of late! Just can?t consistently throw strikes!

[BayouDawg]

Way to battle back after the leadoff walk. Went right at em

[ShotgunDawg]

Barlow has struggled badly with his control as of late! Just can?t consistently throw strikes!

He just struggles throwing his fast ball for a strike. If we'd call breaking balls, I think he'd be fine

[BayouDawg]

Just throw strikes

[ShotgunDawg]

Brett Favre warming in the bullpen

[maroonmania]

Again walks rearing their ugly head with our pitching staff. Memphis with 2 on with no hits.

[West Tn Dawg]

Could they not review that?

[maroonmania]

And both runners that walk score and we are behind again.

[ShotgunDawg]

Just throw strikes

Surprisingly the single hardest thing to teach in baseball besides hitting. Just generally doesn't get better due to being a hand-eye coordination issue

[West Tn Dawg]

That's bull $hit!!!

[Leeshouldveflanked]

7 walks.... 6 of them scored.

[Saltydog]

He was 0-2 on the batter and left a breaking ball up and they take the lead!

[Mjoelner34]

Why didnt they review the interference? They reviewed catchers interference against us in the UGA series.

[BayouDawg]

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
These walks are driving me insane

[Lord McBuckethead]

Did the YMCA guy do that before the interference?

[ShotgunDawg]

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
These walks are driving me insane

What are we doing the same?

[ScoobaDawg]

my fault...i ran and got supper. come on dawgs

[Lord McBuckethead]

How Lemonis didn't throw shit out of the dugout over that call is beyond me.

[BayouDawg]

What are we doing the same?

Walks

[Lord McBuckethead]

Down 1 with 9 outs to go. Sorry 8 outs. RJ swinging at the 1st pitch.

[maroonmania]

Even in winning, what is the last midweek game that wasn't a total struggle?

[Dawgcap]

It’s amazing traffic picks up on this thread when we fall behind. When we rallied back it got quiet here but it did get busy bashing football

[Lord McBuckethead]

Now the rain is coming in.

[Dawgcap]

Time for a big hit.

[Lord McBuckethead]

We need Hancock to take one yard, right now.

[West Tn Dawg]

Do it again Gilbert!!!!!!!!

[Bully78]

How Lemonis didn't throw shit out of the dugout over that call is beyond me.

He looked like he was wearing his Croom cap.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Come on Gilbert. Need one to the gap.

[West Tn Dawg]

Stalling now, trying to get it called for rain!!

[Lord McBuckethead]

They are slowing it down. Now the rain is coming.

[ShotgunDawg]

Marshall Gilbert is a double play machine

[Political Hack]

Too many walks.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Gilbert, dang.

[Skydawg1]

That one hurt worse than the one he hit into on Saturday.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Its amazing how we got 17ed on that double steal.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Gordon is going to need to get 6 quick here.

[BayouDawg]

Can we get 1 run before getting 6 outs?

[Lord McBuckethead]

Why does Lemonis always put his hand near his throat or top of his chest?

[BayouDawg]

Gordon does have a pretty breaking ball when hes on

[ShotgunDawg]

Other than the Yips Club (Cerantola, Barlow, & James) the pitching has been fantastic tonight.

[Saltydog]

Marshall Gilbert is a double play machine

No doubt! Skelton too!

[BayouDawg]

Other than the Yips Club (Cerantola, Barlow, & James) the pitching has been fantastic tonight.

I agree. I thought smith looked really good. I wish we would have started him more in the midweeks

[ShotgunDawg]

This is why we don't bunt certain guys

[BayouDawg]

Just gave away an out

[BeardoMSU]

Jee...Zuss

[Homedawg]

This is why we don't bunt certain guys

This

[BeardoMSU]

Please be safe....

[Dawgcap]

Never tagged him

[BeardoMSU]

Never touched him. Nope.

[Dawgcap]

What a slide

[BeardoMSU]

Jake just bailed you out on your shit bunt, Bananas.

[BayouDawg]

Like the aggressiveness

[BayouDawg]

Alright Mac. They sayin you cant do it. Show em what you got.

[Dawgcap]

Time for a few guys to bust loose. Big opportunities

[BeardoMSU]

Bring out the gimp.

The gimp's sleepin'...

Then wake him!**

[BeardoMSU]

Would love for Mac to Teddy ****ing Williams the shit out of this guy.

[Dawgcap]

Turn em loose

[maroonmania]

Good job Mac! Now do we have someone in the bullpen that can close this sucker out?

[BayouDawg]

That a boy Mac! Makin em eat it

[BeardoMSU]

****in' aye!

[Cloak]

MAC

[Dawgcap]

Big drive Mac

[Cloak]

That hit for Mac is HUGE. Not just because we take the lead, because it gives him that confidence in clutch hitting situations. Need him to get into post season form

[Dawgcap]

Cmon Rowdey need this run

[Dawgcap]

That hit for Mac is HUGE. Not just because we take the lead, because it gives him that confidence in clutch hitting situations. Need him to get into post season form

Preach. You stick with the guys if you believe in them. Can’t break out of a slump if coaches don’t trust you.

[BayouDawg]

3 outs pitchers... I like our chances if we avoid another walkathon inning

[maroonmania]

PLEASE JUST THROW STRIKES!!!

[BayouDawg]

You got this Cole!

[Dawgcap]

Finish

[BayouDawg]

One down

[maroonmania]

1 more and we can escape this one!

[Dawgcap]

Great pitching

[BayouDawg]

One more

[mparkerfd20]

Winner winner

[Dawgcap]

Yes!!!

[BeardoMSU]

**** yeah, Cole!

[BayouDawg]

Hell yes!

[maroonmania]

This team has some Girodos, I'll give 'em that. Great comeback win after James crapped the bed.

[BeardoMSU]

Who do we have that is going to hold them to only 1 more run?

Ok, so I was off by 1 run**

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Good bye National Seed. Thanks Keegan!

A win is not going to hurt our chances.

[RocketDawg]

This^^

We'll win 12-8.

Pretty good prediction.

[West Tn Dawg]

Way to battle back! Even after the ref tried to take it!

[DancingRabbit]

Vaage strikes out to lose the game. That never happens.

[SaintDawg]

Lemonis, if you leave one more pitcher in too long again... I swear to God...

Been doing it all season long. When will you learn?

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Hate we ruined our chance at a national seed tonight

[Dawgcap]

That a finish

[BeardoMSU]

Pretty good prediction.

Gracias, lol.

[BeardoMSU]

Hate we ruined our chance at a national seed tonight

All those posters who slit their wrists need blood transfusions now***

[HoopsDawg]

Great comeback after a 7-0 hole. Wow. This team can hit!!

[Dawgcap]

Y’all are being smartasses to guys that went to bed when we rallied. They only act like fans when we struggle.

[maroonmania]

Ok, so I was off by 1 run**

Good call. I would have been much more comfortable with your 4 run win though.****

[State82]

Boys, that was HUGE!! Gordon was nothing but pure nasty in the 8th and 9th.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Hell of a fight our dogs put up.
Mac, way to break out and start sqauring some balls.
Allen, 4 for 4. Solid. Also note, he worked some counts as well. Went the other way or up the middle. Nicely done. That should be your approach.

[Political Hack]

Good to see Mac bounce back like that. Gonna need him at his best come the SEC and NCAA tourney.

[Dawgcap]

Based on weather we may only play 1 or 2 this weekend. Need a big win

[BeardoMSU]

Boys, that was HUGE!! Gordon was nothing but pure nasty in the 8th and 9th.

Good to see him getting into post-season form. We're gonna need him.

[ScoobaDawg]

Way to battle back! Even after the ref tried to take it!

We were playing basketball???

[ScoobaDawg]

Lemonis, if you leave one more pitcher in too long again... I swear to God...

Been doing it all season long. When will you learn?

After he wins our first National Championship? ***

[tcdog70]

We HAVE to move MacNamee out of the cleanup spot. He is an automatic rally killer right now.

Don't you feel foolish now?

[Dawgcap]

The funny thing is if we don’t make Omaha or win it all we have a few that will inundate this board with their “ I told you so” post. It’s so sad we have fans that are excited by our failures without realizing the special we are watching. Look I want to win it all but some need to realize we don’t just get it given to us. There are so many talented teams in all sports. A special season isn’t necessarily defined by a Natty. It’s defined by a group of players that lays it on the line every game. This team deserves our support win or lose

[deadheaddawg]

Can we fire Cohen already.

[HoopsDawg]

Y’all are being smartasses to guys that went to bed when we rallied. They only act like fans when we struggle.

Thx for the info. Good post.

[CJDAWG85]

I still think James is a big concern right now. Watching him tonight he looked like he zero confidence in his command. Great win tonight. That type of win will help us in the postseason. Never give up.

[Dawgcap]

Thx for the info. Good post.

Why not appreciate a group of guys playing their asses off to be great. The funny thing is we probably won’t win it all because it’s such a crapshoot but I trust these guys will battle and they represent me as a fan. Some can’t get past the losses but I hate to tell you they happen to every team but 1 in every sport. Some don’t realize that we play talented athletes every time we play. I’m rolling with a smile on my face knowing they represent our school way better than I ever did

[Homedawg]

I still think James is a big concern right now. Watching him tonight he looked like he zero confidence in his command. Great win tonight. That type of win will help us in the postseason. Never give up.

James is basically done for the year. Other than a blow out. He was missing by 2'. His confidence is shot by his own pressure. It's a tough deal. Some handle it bette than others. His stuff is good. But his command has gotten worse as the vice tightens

[HoopsDawg]

[Dawgcap]

an actual sports take. Congrats!!

Why hammer on our guys. The funny thing is after we won there are 2 threads shitting on football. I understand they view things differently than I do as a fan but I always believed you bitch under your breath. What some of these guys do on a message board is as bad or worse than booing our players on the field. They represent us but yet we have a few that have no problem shitting on them.
I laugh because they say it’s their right to bitch but guess what it’s my right to call their bullshit out.

[SaintDawg]

After he wins our first National Championship? ***
If it happens, I'll eat a big plate of crow with gravy.
