Game 1 MSU vs the shitheads

[CadaverDawg]

Let's go, boys!

[msbulldog]

I'm with Ya Cdawg! Hail State!

[West Tn Dawg]

Can their gloves be used as a flotation device? Looks like they will need it.

[KOdawg1]

Let's beat these bastards.

[KOdawg1]

8:30 start now. This is annoying, but it actually plays to our advantage since we're the away team, and their home crowd will likely be sparse.

[Saltydog]

Their field is a damn swamp. They feel like it will work to their advantage because their guys are "used to it" and ours are not. Your field must be especially shitty when you have to use puddles to beat someone.

[Skydawg1]

Remember the Tad Pool.

[MedDawg]

Their field is a damn swamp. They feel like it will work to their advantage because their guys are "used to it" and ours are not. Your field must be especially shitty when you have to use puddles to beat someone.

They tried that in basketball, too.

[Cooterpoot]

Going to be interesting to see how the wet field plays. It?s wetter than an OM sorority girl at a football team pool party.

[Maroonthirteen]

The field looks to be in good shape. The rebel bat girls are so damn hot. Any moisture in the air is evaporated before it hits the ground.

[RougeDawg]

Let's go, boys!

Check your pm for an update.

[RougeDawg]

8:30 start now. This is annoying, but it actually plays to our advantage since we're the away team, and their home crowd will likely be sparse.

Yep. They?ll be heading to the square by the start now. Might not win the game so they?ll make damn sure they win the party tonight.

[West Tn Dawg]

Playing now.

[Percho]

GH kills me with his swings.

[Lord McBuckethead]

I have almost no faith in Halter swinging. Dude steps out on literally every 17n pitch. Just put a smooth breaker ball on the out half, his bat doesn't get within 2 feet of touching it

[Lord McBuckethead]

I am scoring the game at home, wrote down out three the second he missed that second pitch.

[magrooder]

He swung the bat regardless of whether it hit his hand or not.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Isnt the hand part of the bat?

[Saltydog]

It's ugly and I can't believe he hasn't corrected that by now.

[Lord McBuckethead]

If the hand isn't part of the bat, didnt the hitter move his body....hand... into the ball. Should be an additional strike then right?

[magrooder]

Skelton with the great throw. Not even close.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Skelton is having one of them most impressive years in recent memory

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Good at bat by Gilbert

[Lord McBuckethead]

Wow. Foot off bag.

[Lord McBuckethead]

No review.

[Lord McBuckethead]

I wish Mangum would look at a pitch.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Damn good at bat by Allen.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Big time at bat by Tanner Allen

[Lord McBuckethead]

That was an as good at bat as I have seen in the last month by our 3rd and 4th batter.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Big time play. Mac needs some help guys. Get him some eye black or something.

[Maroonthirteen]

They are all in on the land shark. The hand to the forehead thing is ... goofy.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Is Small the best pitcher in the league?

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Small with only 40 pitches through 3 innings.

[Percho]

Is Small the best pitcher in the league?

Me thinks so.

[ScoobaDawg]

Small is just so damn good...

[magrooder]

Horrible at bat by Foscue

[Percho]

Well they have started him with a tball braking ball on both at bats that he has taken.

[Saltydog]

We really need to start getting to Ethridge and get into their bullpen.

[Percho]

I'm going to call it, the next pitch he sees is a breaking ball in the dirt.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Am I wrong in remembering that Skelton couldn?t throw anyone out before this year? Like to the point that it was somewhat of a liability?

[Lord McBuckethead]

It will never be called but that guy stealing slid off the bag when the tag was applied. He beat the throw, but the hand came off the bag.

[Saltydog]

No, you're not wrong at all. He really struggled throwing it last year. Gilbert had much better numbers throwing out runners last year than Skelton did.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Is Small the best pitcher in the league?

From the windup, yes.

[msstate7]

What round is small projected?

[Saltydog]

Dangerous situation here with Dillard up. Small sometimes gives up a long ball and Dillard can hit it a mile if he gets one.

[BuckyIsAB****]

This color announcer is terrible

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

No, you're not wrong at all. He really struggled throwing it last year. Gilbert had much better numbers throwing out runners last year than Skelton did.

I didn?t think I was, but he?s so good at throwing it down now that I was beginning to wonder if I was making it up. What a transformation.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Can any of yall explain why Small is such a high K guy? Obviously his stuff isnt terrible but hes not throwing 95 on the radar

[Percho]

It will never be called but that guy stealing slid off the bag when the tag was applied. He beat the throw, but the hand came off the bag.

I agree and the glove was still on him. He was out because of that but no one has the guts to make the call.

[ScoobaDawg]

Big K there... but up to 70 pitches after 4 for small

[West Tn Dawg]

We need to get some long balls up in that fog! Got to be tough to judge.

[Saltydog]

I love Small's attitude. He's fearless and is such a competitor.

[Bdawg]

Man Small throws a lot of waste pitches

[Lord McBuckethead]

1-0 top 5. Halter will be up for out #1.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Man Small throws a lot of waste pitches

Yeah, and he really doesn't get outs in the field.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Good hit by halter.

[Lord McBuckethead]

They going to put Mangum on? I would.

[RougeDawg]

Can any of yall explain why Small is such a high K guy? Obviously his stuff isnt terrible but hes not throwing 95 on the radar

He appears to have some nice late movement on the ball. never seen one of his pitches from behind the plate, but he may hide the ball well and it gets on the hitters before they pick it up. At least that?s what it looks like on swings and misses.

[Saltydog]

Because he hides the ball extremely well, changes speed and generally locates well.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Looks like coach didn't want Gilbert to hit into the double play.

[ShotgunDawg]

What round is small projected?

Pick 25-50

[Lord McBuckethead]

Wow. That 2nd pitch to westburg missed the spot by a foot, but I think it was a strike.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Come on Tanner. Need a base hit.

[magrooder]

Allen with the hot hand at the plate tonight. 2-0 dawgs

[ShotgunDawg]

Can any of yall explain why Small is such a high K guy? Obviously his stuff isnt terrible but hes not throwing 95 on the radar

First of all he's deceptive & has awesome command.

Just as importantly though his fastball spins on a very 12/6 axis from a high slot that allows it to hold plane & accelerate through the strike zone.

Most every pitcher you ever seen in your life back spins the baseball on pretty much an 11/5 axis which causes the ball to naturally run a bit &, when a baseball runs, it loses straight line force. However, since Small's fastball spins on damn near a 12/6 axis, it doesn't run & thus accelerates or holds velocity & force through the hitting zone.

Remember, velocities are taken when the ball ball leaves the pitcher's hand. For example: lets say a pitcher's fastball is 95 mph. The hitter gears up for 95, but, due to the natural run of the pitch, the ball may only cross the plate at 89 mph. However, Small throws 91-92 but the ball crosses the plate at about 88-89 mph due to not losing force. Hitter's brains are calibrated through thousands of at-bats in their career to expect the ball to be in a certain place at contact, but Small's ball due it's unique qualities, isn't where the hitter expects it to be & thus they swing & miss at an extremely high rate.

Hope that makes sense

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Allen?s has really good at bats tonight.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Big at bat again by Allen.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Mac and Foscue, giving us nothing so far. Allen is 6-6 the last two games right now.

[Saltydog]

Mac continues to struggle. He had a couple of hits against Memphis in the mid week but he's looked horrible so far tonight. He hasn't even hit a foul ball hard.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

The announcers are acting like this fog is too thick to see but the crowd is sure acting like they can see balls and strikes just fine.

[ShotgunDawg]

Mac continues to struggle. He had a couple of hits against Memphis in the mid week but he's looked horrible so far tonight. He hasn't even hit a foul ball hard.

He's a guess hitter due to below average pitch recognition & therefore has to guess.

Hope that makes sense

People say that Small's fast ball has a high spin rate but it doesn't. It's actually a low spin rate FB that holds plane due to it's 12/6 axis(almost 100% spin efficiency)

[BuckyIsAB****]

Mac will come out of it. And thanks you guys for the input on Small

[Lord McBuckethead]

Mac has left 5 batters on so far through 5 innings. He has K, F7, and F4. Missed a couple swings by about 12 inches. Just not seeing it. Hitting coach needs to tell him to look 100% the other way.

[Coldsleeve Jr.]

Tanner Allen is 7 for his last 7 ab

[Lord McBuckethead]

3rd base ump missed that one.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

He's a guess hitter due to below average pitch recognition & therefore has to guess.

What makes you say that?

Question I've been curious to see the answer to and since you speak of his arm angle - how much of him changing his timing on delivering pitches helps him? It seems like it's effective and I'm curious why more don't try it.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Allen walked in his last at bat Wednesday. He is 6 for 6.

[ShotgunDawg]

Probably going to need 3 inning from the pen tonight. Uh oh

[RougeDawg]

Allen?s has really good at bats tonight.

He is not trying to do too much. Just taking what the pitcher is giving, and keeping his swing simple.

[Maroonthirteen]

Oh Small...... you filthy animal.

Dealing.

[Dawg2003]

People who know these things, will Mac get drafted?

[BeardoMSU]

Oh Small...... you filthy animal.

Dealing.

I believe you baby...but my Tommy Gun don't!**

[Maroonthirteen]

OM has a guy warming up.

[ShotgunDawg]

Question I've been curious to see the answer to and since you speak of his arm angle - how much of him changing his timing on delivering pitches helps him? It seems like it's effective and I'm curious why more don't try it.

It helps him but it's not what makes him special. What makes Small special is the ingredients of his fast ball.

However, it does assist him but most pitchers lack the balance & body control to do what he does at his balance position.

Additionally, the new way of teaching deliveries & velocity is big on momentum & gaining it through the delivery, which would go against stopping at the balance position like Small does.

For example: Wes Johnson is a very modern pitching coach & a damn good one as evidenced by the Minnesota Twins play right now, & the first thing he did with Dakota Hudson was speed up his delivery a hair. Same thing with Blaine Knight at Arkansas.

Hope that makes sense

[Lord McBuckethead]

Now that we are up 2, they need to call this game a W for us

[ShotgunDawg]

People who know these things, will Mac get drafted?

Probably.

15-30th round

[Cloak]

Phew. We need to win this one TONIGHT

[Percho]

I missed it.

[Gutter Cobreh]

It does. Just seems like if you aren't throwing mid-90s it could be a way to separate yourself and keep hitters off balance. I don't know how well it would translate to pro ball, just seems effective in the college ranks.

[Lord McBuckethead]

That was a shitty strike call. Really the only clear bad call on the ump.

[RougeDawg]

Can Dick Cross do one KlanShart game without his homerism shining through multiple times?

[RougeDawg]

Mac will come out of it. And thanks you guys for the input on Small

Another thing about Small is how far he strides on his pitches. He gets some distance which makes the ball appear faster.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Well 17. Now small can't keep dealing, cause of fog.

[Saltydog]

They're gonna call it for tonight I'm afraid but shouldn't they get thru the bottom of the 6th first? We just had to hit in the fog. Make them do the same thing.

[RougeDawg]

Geez. Only happens to MState. Pitcher dealing and then 30 min fog delay, which will force ya to the pen most likely.

[Lord McBuckethead]

It would have been nice to have their pitcher have to wait 30 additional minutes before he went out and 123 us.

[ShotgunDawg]

It does. Just seems like if you aren't throwing mid-90s it could be a way to separate yourself and keep hitters off balance. I don't know how well it would translate to pro ball, just seems effective in the college ranks.

Velocity is only part of it. Fast ball life is more important.

If you want to understand Small more, study guys like Marco Estrada & Mike Fiers. While they are a little different & right handed, they get it done in similar ways. Similar fast ball ingredients

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

They didn?t have any problem making plays on the balls we put in play in the last half inning BS

[WSOPdawg]

They're gonna call it for tonight I'm afraid but shouldn't they get thru the bottom of the 6th first? We just had to hit in the fog. Make them do the same thing.

Yep, the fog didn't get significantly worsen in the 4 minutes it took to play the top of the 6th. Never should've started the 6th... bullsh!t SEC office!!!

[Dawg2003]

Wasn't there some game last year that got fogged out?

[Saltydog]

Exactly.....Plus, I don't see the fog lifting in 30 minutes either......Might as well just call it and resume it later...?..

[MetEdDawg]

Yep, the fog didn't get significantly worsen in the 4 minutes it took to play the top of the 6th. Never should've started the 6th... bullsh!t SEC office!!!

Hold on. So you want Ole Miss to have a chance to tie or take the lead in a ball game we very likely will win due to fog?

[RC3]

We all saw the phone call from the sec office. Are you telling me the home office said to let ole miss finish pitching the top half of the Inning and then pause play? No real explanation for the delay at that point. Do it in between innings

[RC3]

Hold on. So you want Ole Miss to have a chance to tie or take the lead in a ball game we very likely will win due to fog?


Fair point

[WSOPdawg]

Exactly.....Plus, I don't see the fog lifting in 30 minutes either......Might as well just call it and resume it later...?..

Shoulda called it with 5 complete, but NOW that they allowed us to open the 6th, the 17's from Oxford are to get another AB so the game can't be called!!! Sux!!!

[MarketingBully]

How many innings do you have to play to make it official? Isn’t it five? We ain’t playing tomorrow. May have to call this one a W for us and get two in on Sunday if you want to get three in.

[ScoobaDawg]

Hold on. So you want Ole Miss to have a chance to tie or take the lead in a ball game we very likely will win due to fog?

The game will be finished tomm or sunday. they won't just declare it a complete game tonight

[WSOPdawg]

Hold on. So you want Ole Miss to have a chance to tie or take the lead in a ball game we very likely will win due to fog?


Hell no, with 5 complete innings, it was a legit game. But now that the umps allowed us to bat in the 6th, OM has to get a chance, so they can't call it.

[MarketingBully]

Shoulda called it with 5 complete, but NOW that they allowed us to open the 6th, the 17's from Oxford are to get another AB so the game can't be called!!! Sux!!!

Doesn’t work that way. Once it’s at five complete, it doesn’t matter.

[MarketingBully]

Hell no, with 5 complete innings, it was a legit game. But now that the umps allowed us to bat in the 6th, OM has to get a chance, so they can't call it.

You’re wrong.

[Saltydog]

That's very true. With bad weather expected tomorrow I don't see us finishing this game. Likely finish this one up Sunday and play one more. Not sure if that would be a 7 or 9 inning. Course, this is purely speculation on my part.

[Cooterpoot]

It’s some bullshit

[Jeb Busch Lite]

Game is set to resume at 10:55 via twitter. I'm no scientist/meteorologist, but I don't think fog can magically disappear in 30 mins

[Westdawg]

This isn't hard to figure out....LSU screwed up the hosting numbers for the conference by getting annihilated two weeks in a row.....conference office says "OM is next up, gotta do what we can to make them look good".
Oh, and please take note of the lack of "***".

[Liverpooldawg]

I've got a LOT of experience as a photographer at a place that is VERY prone to fog. If you can still see ANYTHING on camera it's still absolutely playable. This is more about Ole Miss not being able to hit Small than it is about "fog".

[MetEdDawg]

The game will be finished tomm or sunday. they won't just declare it a complete game tonight

You seem the forecast for tomorrow? Chances of them finishing this game tomorrow AND getting a second game in are pretty crappy.

You don't want to try and finish game 1 tomorrow, have to try game 2 and potentially postpone that second game to the next day due to rain, then try and finish game 2 on day 3 AND end up with a 7 inning game 3 on Sunday.

[MarketingBully]

That's very true. With bad weather expected tomorrow I don't see us finishing this game. Likely finish this one up Sunday and play one more. Not sure if that would be a 7 or 9 inning. Course, this is purely speculation on my part.

I think in that case they would just finish this game and play one more 7 inning game.

[MetEdDawg]

The last few posts continues to drive home the fact a lot on here don't know baseball. Why would OM have to bat? Nowhere in the rules does it say that. That's embarrassing folks

[Saltydog]

That's what I'm thinking MB......

[ShotgunDawg]

The last few posts continues to drive home the fact a lot on here don't know baseball. Why would OM have to bat? Nowhere in the rules does it say that. That's embarrassing folks

They don't. Score just reverts to the last finished inning

[WSOPdawg]

I've got a LOT of experience as a photographer at a place that is VERY prone to fog. If you can still see ANYTHING on camera it's still absolutely playable. This is more about Ole Miss not being able to hit Small than it is about "fog".

This I definitely believe.

With regards to the rules for calling a game, according to Baseball Reference, "a called game may either end immediately or be suspended and continued later. Games are always suspended if they must be called because of curfew, time limit, darkness (in a park with legal restrictions on the use of lights), or lighting or mechanical failure. Games called because of weather or darkness (in parks without lights) are normally over immediately. An exception is when the game has become an official game by being played for 5 or more innings and the score is tied or the visiting team took the lead in the top half of the current inning and the home team has not yet retaken the lead in the bottom half of the inning." (which in our game DID NOT OCCUR)

So here's hoping they call it at 10:55 tonight. Glad to be wrong about having to complete the 6th inning.

[Coldsleeve Jr.]

Allen walked in his last at bat Wednesday. He is 6 for 6.

He walked in his 5th ab Wednesday and was 4-4 for the night. And I think he's 3-3 tonight

[Jarius]

The last few posts continues to drive home the fact a lot on here don't know baseball. Why would OM have to bat? Nowhere in the rules does it say that. That's embarrassing folks

Per the tv broadcast, this game is going to be finished at a later date and not be called early no matter what happens tonight. Take it up with a Richard Cross.

[ShotgunDawg]

Per the tv broadcast, this game is going to be finished at a later date and not be called early no matter what happens tonight. Take it up with a Richard Cross.

Some straight Bullshit

[Lord McBuckethead]

With that last at bat, you are correct. He is now 7 for 7 in the last two.

[Maroonthirteen]

The OM pitcher is at 100 pitches. He needed some rest. Also they are trying to cool Small.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Right now Westburg and Allen are pretty much our offense with one single from Halter that mattered.

[MetEdDawg]

Per the tv broadcast, this game is going to be finished at a later date and not be called early no matter what happens tonight. Take it up with a Richard across.

That might be true, but some on here complained because now they can't call the game because we got to bat and OM didn't. That's just not having any clue about the game of baseball.

I hate the idea of trying to finish this game because of the weather tomorrow. You want to play 3 9 inning games every weekend. What gives you the best chance of completing the most number of 9 inning games. Call this one, play one tomorrow, play one Sunday. That to me is the best shot.

That's probably not how they look at it, but it would be a damn shame if they finish this one tomorrow, start game 2, it gets rained on and postponed/delayed and we have to pull Ginn early for rain delay

[msstate7]

Some straight Bullshit

Nah, I'd be pissed if they were the team ahead and it got called

[Lord McBuckethead]

Small will not come back out. This entire move just let UM have 3 more outs without Small in the game. Well played SEC.

[Saltydog]

You sure that applies to collegiate baseball and not MLB? Just asking because I'm not really sure at this point.

[ShotgunDawg]

Liebelt warming up.

Complete bullshit by OM

[ScoobaDawg]

Small is in sneakers per Logan... so he's done

[Liverpooldawg]

Small will not come back out. This entire move just let UM have 3 more outs without Small in the game. Well played SEC.

Yep

[ShotgunDawg]

Nah, I'd be pissed if they were the team ahead and it got called

It wasn't necessary

[ScoobaDawg]

Liebelt warming up.

Complete bullshit by OM

Pretty sure that's on the incompetent sec office instead.

[ShotgunDawg]

Game delayed another 20 min.

OM just has to make totally sure Small is out

[WSOPdawg]

That might be true, but some on here complained because now they can't call the game because we got to bat and OM didn't. That's just not having any clue about the game of baseball.



MedEdDawg, stop being so 17'n negative!!! Dude, I've never seen a game called in the middle of an inning if the home team was behind. It was always, ALWAYS suspended and completed later! Stop being a douche!!!

[ScoobaDawg]

Game delayed another 20 minutes... so 11:15

[ShotgunDawg]

Pretty sure that's on the incompetent sec office instead.

I'm sure there was nudging going on & hem & hawing

[ShotgunDawg]

What I don't understand is why the game just isn't official after 5 innings & they we play 2 7 innings games on Sunday?

[cuspid]

Question I've been curious to see the answer to and since you speak of his arm angle - how much of him changing his timing on delivering pitches helps him? It seems like it's effective and I'm curious why more don't try it.


Let?s get more moving parts to Cerantola and james releases

[Bdawg]

Small will not come back out. This entire move just let UM have 3 more outs without Small in the game. Well played SEC.

If they start the game back and the fog doesn't look any better, I'm going to be pissed!!!! SEC would have just straight screwed Small. Still not sure how the fog is going to change much at night after it has set in.

[WSOPdawg]

What I don't understand is why the game just isn't official after 5 innings & they we play 2 7 innings games on Sunday?

Yep, that's what I was thinking also Shotgun.

[Todd4State]

What I don't understand is why the game just isn't official after 5 innings & they we play 2 7 innings games on Sunday?

Because SEC.

[ShotgunDawg]

I'm not sure I agree with taking Small out. I get it, but it's not like his work load has been high

[Cooterpoot]

Had to delay it more to force Small out. 17 the SEC!

[ScoobaDawg]

What I don't understand is why the game just isn't official after 5 innings & they we play 2 7 innings games on Sunday?

Can't assume the rain happens... we could get up and play at 10am and get the game in. And we could possibly get game 2 in tomorrow night after 6pm.

[Bdawg]

I'm not sure I agree with taking Small out. I get it, but it's not like his work load has been high

I don't know?? 50 mins now.

[Todd4State]

Game delayed another 20 min.

OM just has to make totally sure Small is out

Probably because it looked like Small was about to come back out again.

[ScoobaDawg]

I'm not sure I agree with taking Small out. I get it, but it's not like his work load has been high

50+ minutes delay and over 70 pitches?

[WSOPdawg]

Looks like we're turning it over to Liebelt. Bring it home, Dogs!!!

[Todd4State]

I'm not sure I agree with taking Small out. I get it, but it's not like his work load has been high

50 minutes with a guy that has had Tommy John. I don't think we should risk it.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Looks like they turned the brightness up on the cameras, small sits down, and now UM gets a huge gift. 17n A.

[Saltydog]

So, they made us bat in the dense fog, stop the game long enough that we have to pull Small and now want to resume it. Just complete and utter bullshit.

[ShotgunDawg]

The fog isn't any better. This is completely disgraceful

[ScoobaDawg]

play on. starts with a K

[ShotgunDawg]

50 minutes with a guy that has had Tommy John. I don't think we should risk it.

Didn't seem like 50 min

[ScoobaDawg]

The fog isn't any better. This is completely disgraceful

I disagree. you can see way clearer from the outfield camera

[ScoobaDawg]

Didn't seem like 50 min

It was closer to 35. guess that 20 minute delay to the delay was a miscimmunication

[ScoobaDawg]

single then out 3 on a rundown

[WSOPdawg]

Outstanding! On to the 7th. Let's get some runs, boys!

[Liverpooldawg]

Fog delay my.....there is no difference. They couldn't hit Small and the umps decided that that wouldn't do.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Good inning. Heads up by Skelton there.

[ShotgunDawg]

Completely ridiculous that they delayed the game in the middle of an inning.

OM's starter got to throw 6 while Small only 5.

That's not right & Lemon should be furious. They should have finished the inning for fairness

[ScoobaDawg]

Looks like they turned the brightness up on the cameras, small sits down, and now UM gets a huge gift. 17n A.

Are you serious. Damn chicken littles.

[Saltydog]

The fog is better. Honestly, I didn't think it would clear very much, if any tonight, but it has.

[Liverpooldawg]

So, they made us bat in the dense fog, stop the game long enough that we have to pull Small and now want to resume it. Just complete and utter bullshit.

That's exactly what they did, except there is no difference in the fog. I'm a part time photographer. I KNOW what fog looks like on camera as compared to real life. There was no reason at all to stop that game, other than to get Small out of the game.

[Liverpooldawg]

The fog is better. Honestly, I didn't think it would clear very much, if any tonight, but it has.

No it's not.

[ScoobaDawg]

The fog is better. Honestly, I didn't think it would clear very much, if any tonight, but it has.

I didn't either.. guess all those blowhard fans started clearing it

anyone saying they dont see a difference is just blind or stupid.

Doesn't matter guys we are going to finish this.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Good at bat Halter. Watched 6 pitches. Didnt want to risk a swing. Then you did.

[BuckyIsAB****]

That delay does have a bad stench on it from what I can tell on my camera. Little to no difference to me in the fog

[ScoobaDawg]

jake with a 2 out double...

[Bdawg]

Sorry guys that fog is not much better on the camera I'm watching. Just straight screwed.

[Liverpooldawg]

Are you serious. Damn chicken littles.

I'm a part time sports photographer. One of my main venues is at a place notorious for fog. They did EXACTLY what he suggested. If you can see ANYTHING on camera in the fog, it's not that bad of a fog. The only
reason for what was done was to get Small out.

[deadheaddawg]

This isn't hard to figure out....LSU screwed up the hosting numbers for the conference by getting annihilated two weeks in a row.....conference office says "OM is next up, gotta do what we can to make them look good".
Oh, and please take note of the lack of "***".



Why would the sec office want to intentionally make it more difficult to win? Wouldn't they want as many national seeds as possible?

We are not a lock for a national seed. Why shoot the conference in the foot? National seeds have a big advantage in getting to Omaha. Wouldn't the SEC want as many there as they can?

Also with our dedication to baseball, from facilities to atmosphere, wouldn't our success be a good thing for the SEC?

It doesn't make any sense that they would be out to get us

[Bdawg]

My God Jordan!! What you waiting on. Could have sent that yard

[RougeDawg]

Westburg still has not fully pulled his head out of his ass.

[MarketingBully]

How does Westburg not swing at that pitch right down the middle of the plate? He should have hit it and hit it hard. Holy cow...

[BuckyIsAB****]

We just need one or two more runs

[BayouDawg]

Gotta pull the trigger there westy... can we get 9 more outs?

[ScoobaDawg]

The other part time job is to believe in msu conspiracies. I'd say you aren't very good at either.

[MarketingBully]

My God Jordan!! What I waiting on. Could have sent that yard

That was a mistake pitch our hitter doesn’t even swing at.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Exactly.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Here we go. Pitching outside with the shift on.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Good pitch. 2 down bottom 7.

[Saltydog]

You're delusional. YES, it's better. If you say it's not you didn't see it when the game was stopped. Now, do I think they should've stopped the game? Hell no they shouldn't have but it is better NO DOUBT.

[Bdawg]

That was a mistake pitch our hitter doesn’t even swing at.

Just hard to believe you let one go that splits the plate 50/50

[ScoobaDawg]

3 up 3 down. 3 groundouts. 18 pitches for liebelt

[BayouDawg]

6 more outs. We really need some insurance now

[BuckyIsAB****]

Feels like a time for Rowdey to be Rowdey

[Lord McBuckethead]

Damn. Wish Small could get a few innings like that. Early swing grounders right at the defense. 5 pitches 3 ground outs. Easy.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Feels like a time for Rowdey to be Rowdey

Rowdey and Mac need to do something.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Allen. Smashed. Well done even though it was right at the RF. 2-0 dawgs top 8 1 out.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Hell Mac didnt even run that one out.

[Liverpooldawg]

The other part time job is to believe in msu conspiracies. I'd say you aren't very good at either.

You don't know what you are talking about here. I deal with it 2-3 times every football season, and have for over 35 years. Fog ALWAYS looks worse on camera till you have time to do some extensive post processing. If you know what to look for you can pick that out. They didn't have the time to do it. There was no difference from when they stopped it and when they resumed. It does look a bit better now, but not then.

[ShotgunDawg]

I hate how Richard say "Ole Miss". Has a deep arrogant "O" that makes him sound like a douche

[Lord McBuckethead]

Keep it up guys. Playing solid. Keep the pitching simple.

[Cloak]

Hell Mac didnt even run that one out.

Pet peeve of mine about Mac. Even when he hits a gapper, he jogs the bases until he sees it drop

[ScoobaDawg]

I hate how Richard say "Ole Miss". Has a deep arrogant "O" that makes him sound like a douche

He is a Douche. we all know that.

Damnit base hit off glove of gilbert on the shift.

[Saltydog]

He's just the latest in a long and distinguished line of douches from up there......

[ScoobaDawg]

back to back singles. no outs

[ShotgunDawg]

Now Leibelt is in his 3rd inning when he should only be in his 2nd. Complete BS

[HoopsDawg]

Don't like Gilbert in that spot...at all.

[ScoobaDawg]

Barlow tossing in the pen

[RougeDawg]

He's just the latest in a long and distinguished line of douches from up there......

Both of those announcers are grade A douches.

[Liverpooldawg]

Now Leibelt is in his 3rd inning when he should only be in his 2nd. Complete BS

Yep, if you can see Anything on camera, the fog isn't that bad. They got Small out the only way the could.

[ScoobaDawg]

Douche richard and cohart goes with the crowd says pitch was low.. called strike. bunts it foul 0-2. get this out..

[ScoobaDawg]

hahahaha butns it foul.. 1 out

[RougeDawg]

For once a hitter not knowing how to bunt helps us out.

[ShotgunDawg]

That blond woman was just wearing it from a Yancy type douche

[ScoobaDawg]

DOUBLE PLAY!!!!! to the 9th we go.. let's get another run!!!

[ShotgunDawg]

Leibelt has been hellacious tonight

[RougeDawg]

Huge DP there.

[WSOPdawg]

Way to go guys, twin killing. On to the 9th.

[Percho]

Sweet

[Cloak]

Let's goooo

[Maroonthirteen]

HAhahaha. Bianco with energy killing TO. Then a K and a soul crushing double play. Hahaha.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Bad ass double play.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Eat it

[WSOPdawg]

Barlow tossing in the pen

Not what I wanted to hear (or see, lol). Hopefully Barlow is "on" tonight.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Leibelt has been hellacious tonight

He has had good pace to both his throws and delivery. Gives it just enough time to sink and extra inch at the plate.

[BayouDawg]

That was clutch!

[BuckyIsAB****]

Not what I wanted to hear (or see, lol). Hopefully Barlow is "on" tonight.

They must have some lefties in the next 3 hitters.

[BuckyIsAB****]

If we hit another infield fly I will puke

[RougeDawg]

Rowdey is chopping at it with a weird swing motion.

[BayouDawg]

Our swings have been ugly the last couple innings

[Saltydog]

Skelton has been stone cold lately. K'ing a LOT!

[BayouDawg]

That a boy Luke!

[Saltydog]

I really like Luke Hancock. Kid is going to be very good before he's finished up at State.

[RougeDawg]

Skelton has been stone cold lately. K'ing a LOT!

He looks to be guessing wrong. That 2nd strike was a hanging cement mixer. Could have parked it.

[BayouDawg]

Well we need 3 outs! Headed to the bottom of the 9th state up 2-0

[RougeDawg]

I really like Luke Hancock. Kid is going to be very good before he's finished up at State.

Yes. Great plate discipline, quiet swing and stays on top of the ball.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Batters 4-9 tonight 2-22.

[ShotgunDawg]

Wow. Great play

[ScoobaDawg]

westy with the big throw from up the middle ..out 1

[magrooder]

great play by westburg to get out number 1

[WSOPdawg]

Westy covering some ground -- awesome!

[ScoobaDawg]

barlow and gordon throwing in pen if needed.

[ScoobaDawg]

rowdey takes a couple steps... 2 out.

[RougeDawg]

Leibelt living in the bottom of the zone.

Damn fine outing to close out. Battling out of that 8th inning was clutch.

[ScoobaDawg]

F*CK those Sh!tbirds. dawgs win 2-0

[WSOPdawg]

Ballgame! Hailstate!

[BeardoMSU]

**** yeah, boys! Helluva ****ing win.

[BayouDawg]

Hell yea! Need the bats to come alive in game 2

[Cloak]

Hail State. Let's lock it up tomorrow

[magrooder]

Good game from Small and Liebelt. Can't winn'em all if you don't win the first one.

[CadaverDawg]

BOOM!!! Mission accomplished! Nice work, boys!!!

Everything else is gravy this weekend, but let's go ahead and fill up on it.
