Corn Dog Game #2

[SailingDawg]

Are we going with Ginn tonight?

[TNDawg35]

Yea. Ginn is going.

Not sure what else LSU has left as far as pitching but can’t be much. Be a great time for our guys to go off...

[MarketingBully]

Yea. Ginn is going.

Not sure what else LSU has left as far as pitching but can’t be much. Be a great time for our guys to go off...

I just want us to go back to our approach, be confident, look for our pitch, and grind out at bats. If we do that, we can get back on track offensively. The last two games we have looked timid, unsure, and completely guessing.

[ScoobaDawg]

TBD per game notes.
interesting note.
As a pitching staff, Mississippi State moved into No. 2 insingle-season strikeouts with Small’s 11 Ks on Thursdayagainst the Commodores, pushing the team’s season total to628. The 1997 struck out 655 batters in 68 games.
Small moved into 2nd place for single season strikeouts also.

Notes on Ginn:

Season: Is tied with Paul Maholm (8; 2001) for the most wins by a freshman pitcher in program history with eight...Ranks No. 2 on the single-season freshmanstrikeouts chart with 95, trailing Eric Dubose (109; 1995) for the rookie record.

[StarkVegasSteve]

They may try to go back to Henry. He didn't make it through the 2nd on Wednesday. But he was almost at 50 pitches so I doubt they'd be able to go very long with him. Our bullpen is in much better shape than theirs. We need to jump all over them early and don't let LSU use their use usual Hoover black magic.

[Jack Lambert]

I am ready for our guys to go home and rest but I sure do hate losing to those SOB's.

[Scared_Hitless]

The only concern I currently have is national seed standing. Someone is going to be left out in the cold in regards to a top 8 seed. I just cant see them giving the SEC 4 of the 8. So Vandy is a lock, then it comes down to Ark, us, and Georgia I dont wanna be sitting at home when they are still playing. If GA was to go on and win the whole thing we may have to sweat it out.

[Doggie_Style]

I'm with you on this....I would let our starters rest and just let them have this one.....time to prepare for the regional

The SEC will absolutely get 4 of the top 8 national seeds. All 4 are stone-cold locks at this point. We won't drop below 4.

IF State beats LSU tonight, then in the semifinals Vandy may be vulnerable. Vandy lost the Sunday game for 3 SEC series in a row, two of those at home (Tenn, at UGA, Ark). Then Vandy went on a tear, winning 20 of their last 21 games.

I think the commtittee is going to put more stock in regular season and Miss State beat Ga in the regular season.

[ScoobaDawg]

I am ready for our guys to go home and rest but I sure do hate losing to those SOB's.

Exactly..and I want another shot at vandy. We lost 1-0. they would be rested but I think Plum can give us a shot against their 3rd guy Kumar Rocker. Fr. 38th pick in 2018 draft.

Why wouldn't it happen. there were 4 last year from the SEC and the conference is even stronger this year...We are a national seed right now and have been.

[PMDawg]

I am ready for our guys to go home and rest but I sure do hate losing to those SOB's.

Yeah, it kind of sounds bad to say this, but it's probably the right take. If we lose today, we are likely the national 4 seed. I think the 3 seed is our ceiling and we would probably have to win at least two more games to get there. Heck, we may already be the 3 seed, but I really can't see a legit path to the 2 seed. There's just not much to play for.

Yeah, no. It's almost impossible for us to drop below 4 right now. 5 is absolute worst case.

[dantheman4248]

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in life... MSU can get screwed on some bogus stuff. Hard to put the cart before the horse even if there’s absolutely no way we should be anything other than top 4.

[MarketingBully]

Why wouldn't it happen. there were 4 last year from the SEC and the conference is even stronger this year...We are a national seed right now and have been.

Exactly, I don’t understand this fallacy that the SEC is only getting 3 National Seeds. We are 46-12 and our metrics scream national seed. We face an LSU team today we should beat and more then likely will but even if we lost a 46-13 team that won 20+ SEC games is going to be a national seed.

[CadaverDawg]

I don't love the Ginn vs LSU matchup. Lefties seem to hit Ginn Much better than Righties, and LSU has a boatload of lefties. That being said, he is absolutely our best option regardless and we have to pitch him, so I'm not saying dont pitch him, just that I don't love the matchup. Also, we Should be able to score some runs tonight, so even if they touch Ginn up a little, he should still be able to keep them fairly low scoring. No real excuse for us losing tonight, but it's LSU in Hoover so you'd be a fool to think this is a slam dunk

[CadaverDawg]

And to the poster above....there is 0% chance of us even being as low as #6 National Seed, much less falling out completely. I'd say chances are better than 90% that we're #3, even if LSU beat us 20-0 tonight

[Cooterpoot]

The SEC will get 4 of the top 8 and they’ll match them all up against each other if they survive super regional play. Half will get a super with another SEC team.

Yeah, LSU in Starkville was by far Ginn's worst game of the season. 6 runs, 5 ER in 5.0 innings. Looks like he gave up 3 in the first, then pitched well 2nd through 4th innings, then in the 5th he gave up a couple walks and they both scored. Finshed with 90 pitches after 5. He did have 9 strike outs to 2 walks in those 5 innings.

[Tbonewannabe]

After this weekend, we will have a top 4 record in the country along with one of the hardest schedules. We should be a 4 seed at worst and possible 3 or maybe 2 if we won the tourney. I don't see us jumping Vandy or UCLA so probably a 3 seed.

[Commercecomet24]

These conference tournaments are only important to the teams on the bubble for getting into a regional, the national seeds are pretty much decided before the conference tournaments even start. We will be the 3 or 4 national seed.

JT should've been out of the first with zero runs, defense cost him those 3, although that wasn't his best day on the mound by far.

[MarketingBully]

The SEC will get 4 of the top 8 and they’ll match them all up against each other if they survive super regional play. Half will get a super with another SEC team.

With 4 top 8 seeds, would be tough to avoid getting paired with each other in CWS. Personally, they may go with the 2 and 2 approach. As far as the Super Regionals, I’m not sure they will pair the hosts together BUT you better believe a 2 may sneak through someone’s regional and have SEC paired Supers like last year.

[Tbonewannabe]

The SEC will get 4 of the top 8 and they’ll match them all up against each other if they survive super regional play. Half will get a super with another SEC team.

Wouldn't surprise me if 3 teams on one side and 1 on the other at the CWS.

No real excuse for us losing tonight, but it's LSU in Hoover so you'd be a fool to think this is a slam dunk

I thought the same thing with Smith but LSU didn’t hit him well at all and Smith was hitting 92-94 on his fastball. If Ginn is on, they won’t hit him.

[KOdawg1]

I want to beat LSU so that we'll be 3-2 against them this year. That series loss at home to them still gives me a bitter taste in my mouth

[TNDawg35]

We have ALOT BETTER shot at being the #1 seed than we have of being left off the national seed pic. Some of you guys need to chill and enjoy it all. We are at worst the #5 seed, but I?m guessing we are #4.

[ScoobaDawg]

Yeah, it kind of sounds bad to say this, but it's probably the right take. If we lose today, we are likely the national 4 seed. I think the 3 seed is our ceiling and we would probably have to win at least two more games to get there. Heck, we may already be the 3 seed, but I really can't see a legit path to the 2 seed. There's just not much to play for.

Other than pride.. yep.. I think we are either the 3 or 4 national seed now. Vandys win over us bumped them to #1 rpi so might be #1 overall seed..(and get LSU in the Super Regional) Let that sink in again, we went toe to toe with our aces in what could have been a cws final.

This team has all the ingredients of a national title team. Just need our bats to wake up. Would be great if we started hitting today and through the rest of the tournament. Remember, we started really getting hot in early May last year and that carried us through to Omaha. If we start hitting here, that could carry us to a title.

[ScoobaDawg]

Today's BA projection has us as the 4 seed. down from the 3 yesterday. so instead of pairing up against UCSB, we would get NC State (Foxhalls old team)
https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/2019-ncaa-baseball-tournament-projected-field-of-64/

[Homedawg]

Won't surprise me if the sec ends up w the 2 4,5,8. Which means if serve holds all but one in the same bracket in Omaha.

[Captain Falcon]

Curious to see what order they have us, Arkansas, and Georgia. UCLA and Vandy are locks to be the Top 2. Georgia has the next best RPI but was swept by us. We were swept by Arkansas but have better metrics than they do. My guess is if any of these three teams win the SECT then that will be who gets 3 overall. 4 and 5 at that point would essentially be a coin flip.

I agree that 6 is our floor though. Really feel like 4 or 5 is most likely, unless we win the SECT, then we could get to 3.

Really the only non-national seeds (9-16) on that list that would scare me would be Oregon State and maybe Georgia Tech. I think we'd smoke NC State at home

[TNDawg35]

Oregon State doesn’t scare me without their soph pitcher who went down early in the yr. oK State is who is hot right now.

[basedog]

Big time pitchers step up, JT is a big time pitcher, no reason he shouldn't be "lights out" tonight against the Corndogs! I think it's set up for his biggest game ever tonight, so far.

Let's win this thing! All we need is 3 in a row, we are good enough.

[parabrave]

These conference tournaments are only important to the teams on the bubble for getting into a regional, the national seeds are pretty much decided before the conference tournaments even start. We will be the 3 or 4 national seed.

Yep hit the ole nail on the head with this one. Same goes for basketball.

[Todd4State]

The NCAA loves them some parity.

I agree that 6 is our floor though. Really feel like 4 or 5 is most likely, unless we win the SECT, then we could get to 3.

That would be interesting to see on Monday how much the SEC Tournament finish plays into this. Especially with all four possible National Seeds alive at this point. Although- they have announced National Seeds before the SEC Tournament final before. I can't remember if they still do that.

[msbulldog]

Clay Moffit is pitching tonight for LSU. He's inexperienced, 11 appearances 2 starts mid week 2-0, 17ip, 2.65 era, 11 hits, 7 runs 5 er, 4 walks, 14 so's, 2 doubles, 1 triple, 2 hr's

[HoopsDawg]

Let's fckn go

So needless to say he's going to work us over

[VandelayIndustries]

Cleanup hitter Cade Beloso a late scratch, Drew Bianco statrting

[TNDawg35]

So I have been thinking. Our struggles against Vandy I think was more Vandys guy being GREAT than it was us struggling. That was the #1 team in the nations ace. The dude is good. Now, should we have won? Yea, we prolly should have made plays and pulled it out. We were one swing away a couple times. I think we are pressing too hard and need to relax. All it takes os one at bat to do it also.

The most important thing tonight, The team feeds of Jake. If he walks up and doubles or singles his first at bat with a hard hit ball, then look out!!

Ginn will be Ginn. He hasn’t forgotten about LSU in Starkville. He is gonna be pissed tonight.

NO! NO! The aren't that great, Small 3-hit them, they just got a lucky break or we might have played another 17 innings. We are every bit as good as they are!

[KOdawg1]

We need to come out freaking pissed and keep that intensity for the whole game. Enough of this soft and weak approach at the plate. Get mad and hit the freaking ball

[RocketDawg]

That would be interesting to see on Monday how much the SEC Tournament finish plays into this. Especially with all four possible National Seeds alive at this point. Although- they have announced National Seeds before the SEC Tournament final before. I can't remember if they still do that.

Presumably Arkansas was one of the four possible national seeds ... they're no longer alive. The Bears just sent them home. They play Georgia next, so will quite likely be in the finals against either Vandy or us.

[RocketDawg]

Looks like the game is going to start a few minutes before 6:30.

[ScoobaDawg]

what a beautiful start. 2 straight k's on sliders

[ScoobaDawg]

3 up 3 down. 8 pitches, f*ck yea

[ShotgunDawg]

JT is on tonight.

Having JT & Small looking right along with the emergence of Smith & Plumlee, has to give us the willies.

If those 4 guys can get it done starting next week, it's on

[ShotgunDawg]

Good swing by Mangum. Swings like that will get him out of his slump

[KOdawg1]

Good swing by Mangum. Swings like that will get him out of his slump

Agree. I'll take outs like that over Ks and weak pop ups

[ShotgunDawg]

We've got to get new pants.

The piping connects to the belt too far back & makes all our player's leg look unathletic. Adidas has to do better.

[ScoobaDawg]

rowdey with the SB...nice job

[ScoobaDawg]

We've got to get new pants.

The piping connects to the belt too far back & makes all our player's leg look unathletic. Adidas has to do better.

Are you... really...serious.

did you seriously just post that. during a game? wtf

[ScoobaDawg]

well it was a swinging bunt.. died in front of catcher but rowdey gets to 3rd. 2 out.

[MarketingBully]

This is a shit pitcher we are facing btw and we are still watching Broadway fastballs down the middle of the plate. He’s a ****ing walk on.

[MarketingBully]

This is dumb as shit.

[KOdawg1]

I'm not sure what's more annoying. The Vandy whistler or Todd Walker blowing LSU the entire game

[MarketingBully]

No one can say shit about this pitcher. He has a shit 89 mph fastball that is flat. We better score and score often on him.

[ShotgunDawg]

We're just slightly missing good pitches to hit.

Foscue will drive that pitch for a double or HR when clicking

[Saltydog]

JT's got his good stuff so far tonight.

[ShotgunDawg]

Are you... really...serious.

did you seriously just post that. during a game? wtf

It's true. It looks like shit & loses our guy's money in the draft. I'm not kidding.

[MarketingBully]

We're just slightly missing good pitches to hit.

Foscue will drive that pitch for a double or HR when clicking

Dude this guy is a walk-on and only has a spot because of his legacy. He’s shit.

[ScoobaDawg]

clay moffits line - 2.65 era, 2-0, 2 games started, 17ip, 11h , 5er, 14ks, 4bb, .180 baa
Only starts are against Texas Southern..Complete game. and grambling

[ShotgunDawg]

Dude this guy is a walk-on and only has a spot because of his legacy. He’s shit.

Agree, but hitting is still hard.

Sit down baby Bianco. We own your ass too

He’s less then a weekday starter.

[CadaverDawg]

No one can say shit about this pitcher. He has a shit 89 mph fastball that is flat. We better score and score often on him.

We ain't blowing out LSU in Hoover. Just isn't happening. The voodoo will keep em close

[msbulldog]

JT is ON!

[MarketingBully]

We ain't blowing out LSU in Hoover. Just isn't happening. The voodoo will keep em close

This is like throwing Brent Rooker basically. If I was our coaches I’d just say lock on to his fastball and ignore everything else. He’s not good.

[MarketingBully]

We better not waste Ginn’s performance tonight.

[MarketingBully]

Agree, but hitting is still hard.

Now you’re using this excuse? Really. Smh...

[KOdawg1]

Better jump on them early bc you know they'll have some weird shit go their way late

[KOdawg1]

Good hit Dusty. Bring him around please

[MarketingBully]

Sigh.

[VandelayIndustries]

What are we looking for? Fastballs right down the middle

[VandelayIndustries]

Awful

[MarketingBully]

Two easily hittable fastballs Westy just watches go by.

[KOdawg1]

Hey look, another Westburg K

[ShotgunDawg]

Westburg has lost all confidence. He's guessing instead of reacting. Not trusting himself

If right handed power hitters can't handle breaking balls away, they'll get destroyed

[Dawgology]

I think we’ve kind of mailed it in for the tournament. Obviously a little more concerned for next week. Or we just don’t care.

[KOdawg1]

Hey look, another Westburg K

To kill an inning, no less

[MarketingBully]

We are going to let this ****er off the hook. Watch.

[VandelayIndustries]

Lets look at more fastballs

[Saltydog]

It's almost like Westburg is looking for the perfect pitch and gets in the hole with two strikes and then strikes out.

[MarketingBully]

We have just seen that any pitcher literally any pitcher could shut us down. But Shotgun is right hitting a baseball is hard I guess.

[VandelayIndustries]

Moffitt CG

[HoopsDawg]

Westburg has lost all confidence. He's guessing instead of reacting. Not trusting himself

If right handed power hitters can't handle breaking balls away, they'll get destroyed

Exactly right.

Btw, Landon Jordan has to be pissed. He's a better hitter than Luke.

[MarketingBully]

Moffitt CG

Yep and those fastballs aren’t good but they are great when our players don’t swing at them.

[KOdawg1]

We bump up the draft stock of mediocre pitchers everywhere

[Gutter Cobreh]

Our plate discipline is so hard to watch...

[maroonmania]

I seriously can't believe Westburg struck out on a pitch that bad. Our offense is seriously struggling right now. Every pitcher isn't Nolan Ryan out there.

[bobtail bob]

We are being shut down by a high school thrower.
The pitcher's dad looks like your typical south louisiana drunk

[MarketingBully]

We are being shut down by a high school thrower.
The pitcher's dad looks like your typical south louisiana drunk

Yep, this is embarrassing.

[Dawgology]

Who as our hitting coach. Did we lose him before the tournament or something?

[HoopsDawg]

Westburg has lost all confidence. He's guessing instead of reacting. Not trusting himself

If right handed power hitters can't handle breaking balls away, they'll get destroyed

Exactly right.

Btw, Landon Jordan has to be pissed. He's a better hitter than Luke.

[MarketingBully]

Btw this isn’t voodoo it’s called not locking into a pitch and not sticking to our approach and just not knowing what the hell to do out there.

[ShotgunDawg]

I think we’ve kind of mailed it in for the tournament. Obviously a little more concerned for next week. Or we just don’t care.

Hitters always care when they hit. we are in a legit slump. Not picking up breaking balls which is causing us to look for them, which is leading to us letting fast balls go right down the middle. No confidence

[Cowbell]

Is Geatreau texting in the dugout?

We are bad offensively - somebody please make me feel better about this team.

[ShotgunDawg]

I think JT just threw a 92 mph slider. Ridiculous

[Dawgology]

Has the loss of MacNamee hurt us this badly? It’s the only big change I can think of.

[MarketingBully]

I think JT just threw a 92 mph slider. Ridiculous

Yep and we have shit boy throwing for LSU right with him because our hitters are retarded.

[CadaverDawg]

Me checking the game thread for update

[ShotgunDawg]

Yep and we have shit boy throwing for LSU right with him because our hitters are retarded.

If hitting is so easy, why aren't you in the Major Leagues?

I'll be pissed if we struggle the 2nd time through the order, but the kid has made some nice pitches thus far regardless of his talent.

[KOdawg1]

This is embarrassing

[MarketingBully]

I'll be pissed if we struggle the 2nd time through the order, but the kid has made some nice pitches thus far regardless of his talent.

He made Broadway flat fastballs our hitters didn’t swing at. Any college pitcher could do that.

[mparkerfd20]

Ballgame. We cant score.

[Percho]

Goes to show you, you need to swing at the balls that can be hit.

[Cooterpoot]

Ginn looks like crap. We still can’t leave the high pitch alone or hit the breaking pitch. This team better get their shit straight next week.

[VandelayIndustries]

That's great

[CadaverDawg]

We peaked early. We may lose our Regional. #Reverse

[maroonmania]

JT laboring and not hitting his spots. Not looking good.

[KOdawg1]

Yeah, we're in trouble.

[VandelayIndustries]

LSU winning the tournament

[Dawgology]

Who as our hitting coach. Did we lose him before the tournament or something?

[ShotgunDawg]

And this is where LSU has a 1000 BABIP vs us.

They are so annoying to play. Everything goes their way 100% of the time

[Dawgology]

Welp...see y’all for the NCAA tournament. Hopefully we show up a little more interested.

[Cooterpoot]

I’m flipping this shit over to softball. I’ll check back later. We certainly aren’t peaking.

[KOdawg1]

We peaked early. We may lose our Regional.

These are my thoughts. We don't even look like an NCAA tournament team. This is pathetic

[Skydawg1]

Chris ****ing Reid. Again. Things were going well until Captain Kicked Off The Team had his first AB.

[ShotgunDawg]

We peaked early. We may lose our Regional. #Reverse

I don't think we've peaked yet.

I'm hoping this offensive slump will cause us to refocus before next week & manufacturer more

[ShotgunDawg]

Chris ****ing Reid. Again. Things were going well until Captain Kicked Off The Team had his first AB.

Reid only plays well vs us

[mparkerfd20]

I will be shocked if we make it to Omaha. SHOCKED! I'll be surprised if we even make it to a Super.

[maroonmania]

We peaked early. We may lose our Regional. #Reverse

I agree. I'm wondering if Ginn is starting to burn out. Long season for a guy that was a HS senior last year that never pitched long stints.

[bobtail bob]

This is game is over . If we should happen to get a few hits Manure will start changing pitchers with the quickness and we will spend the rest of our at bats trying to get to them the second time around.

[VandelayIndustries]

Ginn is lost out there, more pain coming

[KOdawg1]

Yeah, Ginn is missing big. Just put in Cerantola, sub in the bench, and wave the white flag. We're in serious trouble next week.

[IMissJack]

This sucks.

[deadheaddawg]

Who as our hitting coach. Did we lose him before the tournament or something?
I think he is a guy that a bunch of our fans wanted to be promoted to head coach last year

[KOdawg1]

****ing pathetic

[VandelayIndustries]

Yay just give away bases

[Saltydog]

2 runs in our last 25 innings.

[bobtail bob]

Already at fifty pitches, lol

[KOdawg1]

**** this team

[ShotgunDawg]

We are brain dead

Westburg too busy worrying about his hitting & not communicating with the 3B

[VandelayIndustries]

Hanging BB right down the middle on 0-2

[mparkerfd20]

Yeah he's serving meat when he does throw a strike. Stick a fork in this team for the year. We done.

[state66]

Haha load the buses and go home

[VandelayIndustries]

Just awful

[MarketingBully]

What the **** was that?

[MaroonFlounder]

Gilbert has no business playing infield

[maroonmania]

Hanging pitch after hanging pitch. I could hit the meatball Ginn is throwing up there. Brandon Smith is a better pitcher right now than Ginn.

[ATTILLA THE DOG]

****ing pathetic

we are not ready to play, infield defense is piss poor

[Skydawg1]

No Omaha for us boys. Defense isn't there this year, this late in the season.

[bobtail bob]

Leave him in we not winning this

[MaroonFlounder]

Worst infield defense in MSU history

[MarketingBully]

Hanging pitch after hanging pitch. I could hit the meatball Ginn is throwing up there. Brandon Smith is a better pitcher right now than Ginn.

We couldn’t. We wouldn’t swing.

[KOdawg1]

Haha this is pathetic. We look a little league team

[Saltydog]

That's some of the things you see with Gilbert playing 3rd. He's still somewhat learning the position but not covering on the steal is just having your head up your ass. And then he throws it away.

[VandelayIndustries]

Meltdown

[RocketDawg]

Hanging pitch after hanging pitch. I could hit the meatball Ginn is throwing up there. Brandon Smith is a better pitcher right now than Ginn.

He's not getting a lot of help from the infield though.

[maroonmania]

We are done. We look like a little league team out there. On to other things.

[MarketingBully]

The lack of hitting directly led to the shit we are seeing here.

[KOdawg1]

Get his ass out of there. He's literally pissing his pants

[Skydawg1]

Chris effing Reid.

[VandelayIndustries]

Yep just call it a day

[BuckyIsAB****]

Im a football guy but I can tell you when there is little to no give a shit and thats exactly what we are doing. We look like we dont wanna be there, 0 effort 0 fight right now from this bunch.

[CadaverDawg]

Our guys should be sick. This has been a prideless performance

[KOdawg1]

Im a football guy but I can tell you when there is little to no give a shit and thats exactly what we are doing. We look like we dont wanna be there, 0 effort 0 fight right now from this bunch.

mental p***ies

[Maroonthirteen]

He's not getting a lot of help from the infield though.

Yep. We should already be out of this inning. A mental error and throwing error on 3b cost us two outs.

Ginn has pitched well enough so far.

[MarketingBully]

Our guys should be sick. This has been a prideless performance

Bunch of pussies.

[BuckyIsAB****]

mental p***ies

I hope its just baseball and it has proven to be that over the course of this season but its really concerning for me to see it when we are playing for our lives next weekend

[Saltydog]

No Omaha for us boys. Defense isn't there this year, this late in the season.

I think far too many here on this board have already penciled us in to Omaha. I'm not 100% sure we'll get out of a regional at this point.

[BuckyIsAB****]

I think far too many here on this board have already penciled us in to Omaha. I'm not 100% sure we'll get out of a regional at this point.

We have 46 wins and 20 SEC wins. If we arent thinking Omaha something is wrong. The kids look like they are thinking about their girlfriends and hitting Drifters in the district

[KOdawg1]

Spring is literally scared shitless too. Can we not get someone who has the mental toughness to get us out of this?

[VandelayIndustries]

mental p***ies

Ding ding ding. walk in a run

[Homedawg]

Glad to see Todd's boy spring come in and full the zone up. Dear goodness.

[state66]

We got worse playing in the SEC tournament. Just go home.

[Saltydog]

This one is going to get ugly.

[msstate7]

Hold em here and we still have a shot. LSU will give us some runs

[Percho]

Bear in mind it is only the top of the third. Remember we were down 7 - zip in the top of the first once this year.

[KOdawg1]

Bear in mind it is only the top of the third. Remember we were down 7 - zip in the top of the first once this year.

Against Memphis.

[Saltydog]

It's the goal and expectation for sure but to act like it's our birth right is stupid. Nope, it will have to be earned and right now this team is not clicking on all cylinders. Matter o' fact, they're not clicking on any cylinder. The only reason we made it last year was because they caught lightning in a bottle and got hot at exactly the right time.

[Hambone]

Yea but they aren’t Memphis

[KOdawg1]

We better come out freaking pissed. If another batter has a soft, embarrassing at-bat, bench them and go with someone else. Take some freaking pride

[MarketingBully]

Against Memphis.

The Memphis pitcher was better then this ****. If we would swing at fastballs we will score runs.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Cohen needs to go down to the dugout, hit the water cooler with a bat and cuss out some people.

[KOdawg1]

Gilbert needs to make up for his errors right here because half of those runs were on him

[KOdawg1]

Soft ass flyout

[MarketingBully]

Gilbert needs to make up for his errors right here because half of those runs were on him

Gilbert ****ed this game by himself. How do you not cover third there? That didn’t make any sense.

[West Tn Dawg]

Well, I see we still bow down to LSU. Yes, I kow we won 40+ games, yes Jake has hit record and all the other stuff, but the last couple weeks this team has sucked!

[ZedFedder]

Well, I see we still bow down to LSU. Yes, I kow we won 40+ games, yes Jake has hit record and all the other stuff, but the last couple weeks this team has sucked!

You serious, G? Did you even watch what we did to OM? Did you watch us put 24 on SC?

[KOdawg1]

Is it bad I'm sitting here hoping they walk a run in?

[VandelayIndustries]

Mainieri aint playing, getting the hook

[RocketDawg]

Moffett seems just a bit hyper.

[MarketingBully]

Welp, we missed our chance to get a ton of runs. Shit boy for them did his job because we didn’t swing at right down the middle fastballs the first two innings.

[deadheaddawg]

So is Arkansas not good enough to make it to Omaha?

I assume not, not that it is clear we are not

[KOdawg1]

Maybe the new guy will come in and start plunking us.

[KOdawg1]

Get f***ing mad

[GreenheadDawg]

If I’m Lemonis I’m extremely nervous for the regional. This team is sucking right now

[KOdawg1]

Bring them in Dusty.

[West Tn Dawg]

How we gonna screw this up? Prove me wrong Dawgs!

[RocketDawg]

This LSU pitcher is going to throw one up in the stands in a minute.

[KOdawg1]

LET"S GO. WE"RE NOT DONE YET 17ERS

[dantheman4248]

Lol we didn’t even get our turn yet this inning and people already threw in the tile.

Think I said this a couple times in the SCar threads. Game is 9+ innings, not 2.5 innings.

[VandelayIndustries]

Game threads are always one way or the other haha

[DownwardDawg]

Lol we didn’t even get our turn yet this inning and people already threw in the tile.

Think I said this a couple times in the SCar threads. Game is 9+ innings, not 2.5 innings.

They always do.

[KOdawg1]

Shit Hatcher

[KOdawg1]

Westburg, this would be a great time for you to wake the hell up

[VandelayIndustries]

Come Westy. redeem here

[RocketDawg]

This would be a good chance for Westburg to break out of his slump

[Saltydog]

Hatcher, sigh. Good lord, there's two strikes. Swing the bat.

[VandelayIndustries]

Missed opprtunity there

[RocketDawg]

Nope

[MarketingBully]

Westburg is a waste of space. The count was 2-0 for that ground out.

[ShotgunDawg]

The amount of strike outs we've had with runners in scoring position has to change. Has been brutal all week

[KOdawg1]

Slump continues and we spoil a great opportunity to come back

[Cooterpoot]

I’d pull Hatcher after that shitastic AB

[KOdawg1]

Westburg is a waste of space. The count was 2-0 for that ground out.

He really is.

[ShotgunDawg]

Westburg is a waste of space. The count was 2-0 for that ground out.

Entire team looks like trash at the plate

[MarketingBully]

Hatcher, sigh. Good lord, there's two strikes. Swing the bat.

What got me is he swung at ball 4 on a 3-1 count and let’s a much closer pitch just go by.

[msugolf]

Time to give Westy a break. He needs to sit for a while to hit the reset button.

[Maroonthirteen]

Difference in that Inning. MSU 2 errros gives LSU 3 runs. LSU 0 errors

[bobtail bob]

I didn't realize how depleted their staff is. We may have a chance. I switched to jim on the stream and we got two runs. Leaving the tv off for now

[Skydawg1]

Missed opprtunity thereYeah, but we chipped away a bit. They are totally out of pitching.

[msstate7]

I’d pull Hatcher after that shitastic AB

Not watching, but radio was not impressed

[Cooterpoot]

Too many guys getting their font down early and speeding up their freaking rhythm.

[Activated Alpha]

Bases loaded curse strikes again

[BuckyIsAB****]

I’d pull Hatcher after that shitastic AB

He was praying for a walk. Dont compete hope he gives it to me. Even danced out of the way of a pitch that wasnt close to hitting him. Hes scared

[MarketingBully]

I’d pull Hatcher after that shitastic AB

Yep, we are actually getting hurt because teams are starting righties.

[Saltydog]

This guy pitching (George) has good stuff. If he throws strikes he's going to be tough, especially with our hitting now.

[DownwardDawg]

We really needed to get 3 in that inning. Still got plenty of time though.

[KOdawg1]

Not watching, but radio was not impressed

It was pathetic. Mentally weak approach. You have to have guys who want to hit the ball. Hatcher and Westy didn't want to that inning

[Bothrops]

If this team losses to a pitcher strapped LSU we won't make it to Omaha.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Hey, at least Westburg actually swung at strikes and watched balls. Baby steps.

[MarketingBully]

He was praying for a walk. Dont compete hope he gives it to me. Even danced out of the way of a pitch that wasnt close to hitting him. Hes scared

Well he put himself in a shit situation. The dumb ass swung at ball 4 on 3-1.

[Saltydog]

Uh, we lost the SC game too.

[bobtail bob]

He's got to do something about worstburg. He's a tremendous drag on our lineup

[HoopsDawg]

I'd have to put cumbest or halter in RF.

[KOdawg1]

Oh boi

[Scared_Hitless]

Hard to fathom how bad Westburg is hitting right now. He needs to change his approach every AB he gets down 0-2 then strikes out on a breaking pitch. Time to let him swing out of the slump on the first pitch or hit the bench

[KOdawg1]

I'd have to put cumbest or halter in RF.

And Halter in for Westburg. It's time

[FriarsPoint]

But I would remind JT Ginn 1)He made the right choice choosing college 2)Further proof of that is the fact he pitched against LSU twice and twice they rocked his ass.

I would remind him of these two things from this day until the next 364.

[MarketingBully]

If this team losses to a pitcher strapped LSU we won't make it to Omaha.

Agreed. We have the better arms right now. Our dumb ass hitters just suck ass right now.

[Scared_Hitless]

And Halter in for Westburg. It's time

I agree Halter improved as the season went on Westy has regressed. He will be similar defensively as Westy is not a star on that end

[ScoobaDawg]

wtf...i passed out in my chair for an hour I guess.. JT was dominating and now we are on our 2nd reliever and down 3. wtf.

[KOdawg1]

I agree Halter improved as the season went on Westy has regressed. He will be similar defensively as Westy is not a star on that end

Yep. It's not like Westburg is a gold glover out there. The only reason we had to keep him there is because of his bat. But he might as well not have a bat as of late.

[Homedawg]

And Halter in for Westburg. It's time

You've lost it dude.

[MarketingBully]

wtf...i passed out in my chair for an hour I guess.. JT was dominating and now we are on our 2nd reliever and down 3. wtf.

Worse then that, our hitters can’t hit LSU scrubs. Our approach at the plate this game is worse then the other times combined.

[Percho]

wtf...i passed out in my chair for an hour I guess.. JT was dominating and now we are on our 2nd reliever and down 3. wtf.

Go back to sleep, you will be happier.

[Skydawg1]

And Halter in for Westburg. It's timeHey, if Halter is our Tiger-killer, I'm all in.

[KOdawg1]

You've lost it dude.

Have I really? How many times does Westburg have to choke for you to be satisfied?

[NCDawg]

If Barlow can get the ball over the plate, he can be pretty tough.

[MarketingBully]

Also please tell me why we aren’t using the shift against these dick heads? We’ve used it every possibly way every time else. This is the team to use the shift on. They hit it in the 2b-1b hole for most to all of their hits.

[preachermatt83]

Cohen needs to go down to the dugout, hit the water cooler with a bat and cuss out some people.

You will hardly ever see Cohen curse anybody. He will lose his cool and go ballistic but he really isn?t much of a curser

[West Tn Dawg]

Have I really? How many times does Westburg have to choke for you to be satisfied?

No matter how bad they are playing, you can't call them out, or someone will be quick to tell you how good they USE to be, like that makes any difference at the moment.
