[99jc]

Don't like mac in 4 or Westburg in 2 I hope they come alive this weekend.

[mstatefan91]

Somebody get Westburg a damn banana and let's go

[PMDawg]

Campbell quickly up 4-0 on NC State.

[GreenheadDawg]

Yeh I don’t like Westburg back at 2nd.

[CadaverDawg]

I love it! Lineup is back to where it was when we were at our best this season. Good psyche move by Lemonis imo

[bigplayslay]

I love it! Lineup is back to where it was when we were at our best this season. Good psyche move by Lemonis imo

You said it best in another thread... Get Westburg some confidence back because he will most likely get hits off this pitching staff. I truly believe we come out and handle business today. JT takes no prisoners.

[Scared_Hitless]

This is Westburgs last change honestly, if he gets 4 strikeouts against Southern we will have to figure something out for the postseason.

[TNDawg35]

I would have liked to see how we did with Allen in the 2 spot, followed by Foscue, Mac, then Westy. But I’m ok with going back to the way we had it. Westy just needs his confidence back. Hit the ball hard and it will eventually fall...

[CadaverDawg]

The game hasn't started yet has it?? It's showing we're down 2-0 on the ticker

[TNDawg35]

The game hasn't started yet has it?? It's showing we're down 2-0 on the ticker

That’s exactly what I was thinking? I thought we didn’t start til 12...

[magrooder]

Strike him out throw him out 2 down!

[magrooder]

Going to bottom of 1st 0-0

[HoopsDawg]

Quick release from Skelton there!

[ScoobaDawg]

Strike him out throw him out 2 down!
Not bad after 5 pitches. out in the inning in 7. GO.

[magrooder]

Need to be patient with this pitcher, he has alot of walks.

[magrooder]

Guy has not thrown a strike yet. Two on no outs.

[Marvin]

Get Keegan James loose

[VandelayIndustries]

Tanner just missed it

[magrooder]

Deep sac fly by Tanner, both runners advance, men on 2nd and 3rd, one down, Macnamee up

[ScoobaDawg]

Allen hits it 328 feet... just inside the ballpark (wall is 330).. out 1. runners advance to 2nd and 3rd. come on Mac!!!

[ShotgunDawg]

Tanner put a good swing on it, but I just don't understand swinging after 7 straight balls

[magrooder]

1-0 on the ground out by Mac.

[ScoobaDawg]

1-0 rbi mac. 6-3 go.

[VandelayIndustries]

What an awful strike 3 call

[magrooder]

What a crock of a third strike call on Foscue. We let'em off the hook. 1-0 going to top of 2nd.

[TNDawg35]

Ump gonna have a big zone today. Take notice know. Their pitcher looked like he settled some. Oh and Tanner just missed a 3 run shot!

[gravedigger]

What an awful strike 3 call

Yea, I guess with the AMOUNT of regional games, they cant be too picky about the quality of umpire.

That was pretty bad even for a bad ump.

[GoDawgz]

Yea, I guess with the AMOUNT of regional games, they cant be too picky about the quality of umpire.

That was pretty bad even for a bad ump.

Thats high school strike zone......good grief. Better be ready to swing the freaking bat if you get 2 strikes!

[VandelayIndustries]

17 pitches for Ginn 2IP

[magrooder]

3 quick outs going to bottom of 2nd.

[HoopsDawg]

17 pitches thru 2. Nice.

[magrooder]

17 pitches for Ginn 2IP

Southern is definately at the plate swinging.

[magrooder]

Rowdey with the single one on one out.

[GreenheadDawg]

Southern is definately at the plate swinging.

Yeh they’ve hit a couple hard

[magrooder]

Hatcher with a good at bat, walks, two on one out for Gilbert

[magrooder]

And Gilbert with the dp.

[mparkerfd20]

SMH

[Marvin]

Espn sent us the cream of the crop announcers this weekend....

[TNDawg35]

I don’t understand why Gilbert stands so far back. He doesn’t fall toward the plate at all. Seems like most balls he hits are off the end unless they are right down the gut. Then he actually gets barrel.

[ShotgunDawg]

Gilbert is a walking, talking, double play machine. Something about his swing path & lack of speed just makes him terribly vulnerable.

[Bdawg]

Ginn has to let Gilbert get that bunt

[magrooder]

throw away to first, man on second, two out.

[ScoobaDawg]

DAMNIT..ginn just pitch... 4 straight throw overs and throws it away.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Danger Zone for Ginn

[magrooder]

single to left tied up 1-1

[VandelayIndustries]

Great throw by Rowdey

[ScoobaDawg]

tie game... base hit to lf.. makes the throw to skelton but can't get the tag down.

[ScoobaDawg]

Come on JT.. just get outs. you had 2 outs and just needed to get the out at the plate. worried too much about the runner and served up a meatball to tie the game

[ShotgunDawg]

I hate sinker ballers like Ginn.

He's a tremendous pitcher, but the margin for error with type of fast-ball is too small. It's a contact pitch

[RougeDawg]

Is that not reviewable? Hand still looked in the air when tag was applied.

[magrooder]

going to bottom of 3rd. tied up 1-1

[PMDawg]

Like I said, Ginn isn't the same anymore. And here we go sleepwalking at the plate against a guy who throws batting practice.

This will probably light a fire under us and we'll put up 5+ in the bottom of the inning, but Ginn is concerning at this point. Flame away.

[ScoobaDawg]

Look at that... K. tie game after 2.5

[PMDawg]

Is that not reviewable? Hand still looked in the air when tag was applied.

There was no tag applied. He whiffed by more than a few inches.

[RougeDawg]

There was no tag applied. He whiffed by more than a few inches.

Couldn?t see from the angle. Thanks.

[mparkerfd20]

Better get off our asses. LSU proved you can't let this team hang around.

[Duckdog]

Like I said, Ginn isn't the same anymore. And here we go sleepwalking at the plate against a guy who throws batting practice.

This will probably light a fire under us and we'll put up 5+ in the bottom of the inning, but Ginn is concerning at this point. Flame away.

Jesus Chirst, man!

[GoDawgz]

Top notch clowns announcing this game.....mute already.

[GreenheadDawg]

Still look like shit at the plate

[ShotgunDawg]

Mangum just swung at a 2-0 pitch over his head.

I don't get the approach this team is showing right now.

Allen swung after 7 straight balls earlier. Guys are being selfish & need to settle down

[Bdawg]

Make this guy throw strikes. Mangum2-0 swings at high fastball and now walks westy. Make him put it on a tee for you.

[bobtail bob]

This pitcher is a bum and we still can't make decent contact

[RougeDawg]

Mangum just swung at a 2-0 pitch over his head.

I don't get the approach this team is showing right now.

Allen swung after 7 straight balls earlier. Guys are being selfish & need to settle down

And this dude is throwing BP fastballs. Should be playing HR derby.

[Duckdog]

Better get off our asses. LSU proved you can't let this team hang around.

LSU lost to every college in La please stop

[PMDawg]

The way this guy is pitching, a good High School team could put up several runs on him. Yet we can't get a base hit. I don't get it. A flat 85 mph fast ball, and we swing at the breaking balls and change ups.

[ShotgunDawg]

another selfish AB by Allen.

1-0 count after a 4-1 walk to Westburg & he swings.

This guy has 2 outs & after throwing 2 strikes & 7 balls in this inning

[ShotgunDawg]

And this dude is throwing BP fastballs. Should be playing HR derby.

Hitting is hard.

We should be making him throw strikes before doing anything

[Duckdog]

Would y'all calm down, shit.

[bobtail bob]

QUIT SWINGING AT SHIT!!!!

[Lord McBuckethead]

Everyone on our team should be sitting back on this guy. He has hit 86 once I think.

[GreenheadDawg]

This dude is throwing meat and we have yet to square him up.

[MarketingBully]

Gotta find our bats if this team is going to do anything in the postseason.

[Bdawg]

Kid has throw more balls than strikes, and we helping him

[Lord McBuckethead]

Mac made the guy pitch, and he drew a walk. Time for all of the hitters to sit on their pitch, and take walks if need be.

[ShotgunDawg]

Gotta find our bats if this team is going to do anything in the postseason.

Our bats will come around as soon as we start swinging at strikes & taking balls.

[Lord McBuckethead]

There we go. Squared that one up. Anyone other than Mac on 1st and we score two right there. Smart for Mac not to push it.

[MarketingBully]

Our bats will come around as soon as we start swinging at strikes & taking balls.

Hitting is hard as you say but hitting is easier if you have an approach and stick to it.

[Irondawg]

I would have given Skelton the green light on 3-0 with 2 outs to sit on a fastball

[RougeDawg]

How is Skelton late on an 83 MPH fastball in a hitters count? Our heads clearly are not in the game.

[magrooder]

Still letting them off the hook.

[HoopsDawg]

Make this guy throw strikes. Mangum2-0 swings at high fastball and now walks westy. Make him put it on a tee for you.

Probably cost us a run and maybe more bc we would only have 1 out right now.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

We shouldn’t swing until we get two strikes....

[ScoobaDawg]

and Rowdey goes after the first pitch of the new pitcher... he hit it good but not far enough to dead cf. leaves the bases loaded. dawgs up 2-1 after 3

[BrunswickDawg]

Ginn out. Oh no

[ScoobaDawg]

shit... gt ginn is hurt and out of the game

[GreenheadDawg]

That’s just ****ing great

[ScoobaDawg]

smith coming in

[CadaverDawg]

This could crush our hopes

[ShotgunDawg]

Good lord.

Brutal

[PMDawg]

Shoulder's just not right. Gonna be tough to make a run without a healthy JT.

[MetEdDawg]

This changes a lot if he's not available. Brandon Smith probably was our game 4 guy if it went that far.

Now if we go Game 4 it's probably Keegan and that changes quite a bit

[CadaverDawg]

Ginn is not durable at all

[Lord McBuckethead]

Hopefully they were planning on pulling him early anyway. Looked as if he was out there to give the bullpen time to get warm by going out there and throwing a couple. Ginn may not feel great, but he may be alright. Hope he is.

[DawgRockur]

Anyone notice what the injury was?

[MarketingBully]

Hopefully it’s nothing too serious but in all honesty if we don’t fix our hitting woes we aren’t going to go far in this tourney anyway.

[ShotgunDawg]

Ginn is not durable at all

Mechanics have a lot of effort in them.

[Irondawg]

yeah, I would have almost brought Keegan or risked bringing Cer. in here to see if he could throw strikes. Had we blown this open last inning and been up 5-1 i bet we would have seen somebody different

[ShotgunDawg]

Best case scenario is that it's not arm related but rather something he did on the swinging bunt earlier when he slipped

[ScoobaDawg]

Hopefully they were planning on pulling him early anyway. Looked as if he was out there to give the bullpen time to get warm by going out there and throwing a couple. Ginn may not feel great, but he may be alright. Hope he is.

I don't think so. Smith ran to the bullpen as gt threw his last warmup pitch and lemonis walked out to check on him.

[Lord McBuckethead]

I hope he just has a little tightness in his shoulder and didn't want to push it. If we can pull this game out without running through the bullpen too much, it may give JT enough rest for the Super.

[MetEdDawg]

Anyone notice what the injury was?

Looked like elbow. He was flipping his arm around like it was his elbow

[Lord McBuckethead]

Best case scenario is that it's not arm related but rather something he did on the swinging bunt earlier when he slipped

Exactly.

[ShotgunDawg]

Feels like guys getting hurt in the post season is something that happens to us but not LSU or others.

[msstate7]

Shoulder's just not right. Gonna be tough to make a run without a healthy JT.

It's a shoulder issue? That's about as bad news as a pitcher can get... worse than TJ imo

[Leeshouldveflanked]

It looks like our attitude from SEC Tourney came back with us from Hoover

[CadaverDawg]

We may lose to Southern. This team is just in a funk, and the Ginn injury only makes it worse

[MetEdDawg]

It looks like our attitude from SEC Tourney came back with us from Hoover

Because we've only scored 2 runs in 3 innings?

[RougeDawg]

We are done. Shit approach. Not holding runners. #2 pitcher on the shelf. Well I guess we had a nice regular season.

[ShotgunDawg]

It's a shoulder issue? That's about as bad news as a pitcher can get... worse than TJ imo

How do we know it's a shoulder issue?

[MetEdDawg]

We may lose to Southern. This team is just in a funk, and the Ginn injury only makes it worse

May be the only fan base I know of that says we might lose to a SWAC team in the Top of the 4th while we are leading at home.

[ShotgunDawg]

Because we've only scored 2 runs in 3 innings?

No because our approach is trash & guys are having selfish at-bats

[Dawg2003]

We may lose to Southern. This team is just in a funk, and the Ginn injury only makes it worse

I haven't liked the trajectory of this team for awhile. We just aren't playing our best baseball right now.

[PMDawg]

We look like little league today. We picked a poor time to start this mess.

[ShotgunDawg]

Think we can get a pitcher in the game that pays attention to the base runners?

[RougeDawg]

May be the only fan base I know of that says we might lose to a SWAC team in the Top of the 4th while we are leading at home.

It?s the demeanor of the team. Shit approach. Can?t hit batting practice fastballs. Running all over us. We are toast if we keep this mentality.

Hell, Smith isn’t even looking at the runner. They may steal home to tie this one up.

[Irondawg]

geez, HBP on a 1-2 pitch. He'll probably steal 2nd in 2 pitches

[MetEdDawg]

No because our approach is trash & guys are having selfish at-bats

Who is selfish so far? Please say Rowdey Jordan who swung at a meat first pitch FB and just got under it. Mangum AB #2 is the only one I've seen that would qualify

[Marvin]

We’ll break out and win something like 11-3, but the arm usage is concerning. A lot riding on Ethan tomorrow.

[Commercecomet24]

It's not his shoulder.

[msstate7]

How do we know it's a shoulder issue?

I don't. That's why I quoted PM and asked

[ShotgunDawg]

May be the only fan base I know of that says we might lose to a SWAC team in the Top of the 4th while we are leading at home.

Do you not know any other fan bases?

[GoDawgz]

I wonder if the screaming Southern fan makes it all 9 innings......... geez....

[Dawg2003]

May be the only fan base I know of that says we might lose to a SWAC team in the Top of the 4th while we are leading at home.


I can only speak for myself, but I've felt really weird about this team for awhile. Not just this game.

[ShotgunDawg]

Who is selfish so far? Please say Rowdey Jordan who swung at a meat first pitch FB and just got under it. Mangum AB #2 is the only one I've seen that would qualify

Mangum & Allen have been very selfish at the plate today

[chef dixon]

They are taking bases like candy from a baby

[BulldogDX55]

I wonder if the screaming Southern fan makes it all 9 innings......... geez....

Came to the thread specifically to mention this.

YOUVE MET THE VANDY WHISTLER

NOW MEET THE SOUTHERN SCREAMER

[MetEdDawg]

Do you not know any other fan bases?

I know people from tons of different fan bases. None of them have enough bitches like we do to state we might lose to a SWAC team while we are leading said SWAC team

[HoopsDawg]

Ginn is not durable at all

He should be a relief pitcher honestly.

[RougeDawg]

They are taking bases like candy from a baby

Dude had 2-3 steps to 2B before Smith even went to the plate. This is embarrassing. Look like Bama.

[MetEdDawg]

Mangum & Allen have been very selfish at the plate today


Yeah that 1st AB where he was 2 feet from hitting one out was super selfish. Can't believe he got Mangum in scoring position, where Mac eventually brought him home.

[Irondawg]

Brandon is struggling and is hardly getting any movement on his pitches

[msstate7]

I know people from tons of different fan bases. None of them have enough bitches like we do to state we might lose to a SWAC team while we are leading said SWAC team

Said lead is gone

[ShotgunDawg]

I know people from tons of different fan bases. None of them have enough bitches like we do to state we might lose to a SWAC team while we are leading said SWAC team

You talk to fans of other teams about how they react when up by 1 vs a SWAC team?

[PMDawg]

Good grief we suck.

[mstatefan91]

It's not his shoulder.

Then what?

[ScoobaDawg]

this is just crazy. ok pitchers need to settle down but our batters not to wake up.

[StateDawg44]

Who ever this lady is that is screaming in the crowd on TV is almost as annoying and persistent as the Vandy whistlers.



Edit.... I see it's already been addressed.

[ShotgunDawg]

Yeah that 1st AB where he was 2 feet from hitting one out was super selfish. Can't believe he got Mangum in scoring position, where Mac eventually brought him home.

It was.

The pitcher had thrown about 7 straight balls. The result doesn't change the selfishness

[MetEdDawg]

You talk to fans of other teams about how they react when up by 1 vs a SWAC team?

No. I talk to fans and they don't talk about losing to SWAC teams period. But back track if you need to. Our fan base is full of Nancy's. No balls and act like little scared bitches.

[MarketingBully]

I’ll say this. If Southern gets 4-5 runs on us I’d get mighty nervous of losing this game and not getting out of our regional. Shit approach and no way in hell are we going to win shit with our current approach at the plate.

[Irondawg]

he's throwing BP right now

[ShotgunDawg]

No. I talk to fans and they don't talk about losing to SWAC teams period. But back track if you need to. Our fan base is full of Nancy's. No balls and act like little scared bitches.

Do we talk about SWAC team unless we are playing them in a regional?

[HoopsDawg]

Dude had 2-3 steps to 2B before Smith even went to the plate. This is embarrassing. Look like Bama.

I bet Cohen is having a panic attack. Holding runners on is a huge deal to him.

[mparkerfd20]

Get that MFer out of there. He's throwing meat.

[RocketDawg]

I wish the announcer would learn how to pronounce Jaguar. It's not "jag-wire".

[MarketingBully]

No. I talk to fans and they don't talk about losing to SWAC teams period. But back track if you need to. Our fan base is full of Nancy's. No balls and act like little scared bitches.

Meanwhile Southern has 3 straight hits and have loaded the bases with 1 out...

[MetEdDawg]

Do we talk about SWAC team unless we are playing them in a regional?

Yep. We laugh at others like LSU when they lose to them mid week.

[BuckyIsAB****]

I hate to say this but we look done

[bobtail bob]

We should have six runs on the board but the tournament slump has clearly carried over. You can't just turn "it" back on when it's gone

[ShotgunDawg]

Is Southern's BABIP 1.000?

[MetEdDawg]

Meanwhile Southern has 3 straight hits and have loaded the bases with 1 out...


It's the 4th inning. I'm not worried

[HoopsDawg]

No. I talk to fans and they don't talk about losing to SWAC teams period. But back track if you need to. Our fan base is full of Nancy's. No balls and act like little scared bitches.

Just so you know, your complaining about our fans is equal if not more annoying.

[Maroonthirteen]

They could at least brought their band if they were going to yank our britches down and kick our ass.

[BuckyIsAB****]

I dont care if they beat LSU this is a SWAC team folks. Say whatever you want but we are not us right now, havent been since the Sunday of the South Carolina series

[CadaverDawg]

We're in trouble. For all those wondering why we are negative....see today. Shit never works out for the Maroon and White

[ShotgunDawg]

I hate to say this but we look done

Now this is stupidity. It's ok to be frustrated right now but this is full blown stupid

[MetEdDawg]

Just so you know, your complaining about our fans is equal if not more annoying.

It's annoying to people who are complainers.

[magrooder]

Umpire is tightening up the fn strike zone now. Ball four was strike three on Foscue earlier.

[ShotgunDawg]

Awesome. Now we have a scared pitcher on the mound.

LSU doesn't ever have these types of things happen

Main difference between our program and theirs. They always have freshmen step up

[bobtail bob]

These announcers are pumped

[ScoobaDawg]

damn bizarro world..wtf smith just walked in a run

[PMDawg]

this is pathetic and embarrassing

[Irondawg]

This is my first time to watch Brandon throw live and I'm not seeing the weekend starter stuff for next year. Just an off day?

[msstate7]

Southern saved their ace for Miami

[mparkerfd20]

New mascot name....bedshitters

[Ezsoil]

Ohh well guess I can release my Omaha hotel rooms

[StateDawg44]

Do we talk about SWAC team unless we are playing them in a regional?

Dude.... you are arguing just to argue. STFU.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Now this is stupidity. It's ok to be frustrated right now but this is full blown stupid

Its 4-2 against Southern University. You have spent the last 2 pages talking about how selfish and stupid we are.

[Irondawg]

whew, that ball almost carried out of here, we'll score at least 5 runs I feel pretty good about, but we can't dig a 4 run hole

[ScoobaDawg]

4 -2 sac fly.. hatcher BARELY caught the ball... 2 feet short of the rf wall.

[mparkerfd20]

Horrible coaching

[ScoobaDawg]

Smith is done. liebelt in

[ShotgunDawg]

Dude.... you are arguing just to argue. STFU.

Now an idiot shows up that hasn't read the thread. I was combating the complainer

[Irondawg]

Now we're having to burn the guy who's been our best reliever in the 4th inning. We're going to need a CG from Small tomorrow

[Dental Dawg33]

Better pull our head from our a$$ quick

[PMDawg]

I don't. That's why I quoted PM and asked

I don't. I just know that's what it was before, and he hasn't been the same since. Just assumed it never healed completely.

[bigplayslay]

whew, that ball almost carried out of here, we'll score at least 5 runs I feel pretty good about, but we can't dig a 4 run hole

Hatcher made it look way worse...

[MarketingBully]

Southern saved their ace for Miami

This guy is throwing 82-83 mph fastballs and has a strikeout. Our hitters are toast.

[Maroonthirteen]

We can’t hit the ball for shit. I know we are coming up hits. BUT putting runs on the baird can help a pitchers confidence a lot. We suck at the plate. Natty my ass. Natty Lite is more likeit.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Better pull our head from our a$$ quick

I feel like we have been saying that since, well like I said Sunday vs South Carolina and our head is still firmly up our rear end

[deadheaddawg]

We need to fire lemonis RIGHT NOW. We cant tolerate this mediocracy. Have police escort him out of the stadium. And since Moorhead is awesome again and pulling in recruits, just put him in the dougout.

[BuckyIsAB****]

We can’t hit the ball for shit. I know we are coming up hits. BUT putting runs on the baird can help a pitchers confidence a lot. We suck at the plate. Natty my ass. Natty Lite is more likeit.

Leave Natty Light out of this

[Goldendawg]

I know people from tons of different fan bases. None of them have enough bitches like we do to state we might lose to a SWAC team while we are leading said SWAC team

Don't look now, but we are now losing to said SWAC team and looking bad doing it. Team better wake up fast. And to think have been given tickets from a friend for the game tomorrow which I still expect to be the night game. Hail State!

[Lord McBuckethead]

We need to fire lemonis RIGHT NOW. We cant tolerate this mediocracy. Have police escort him out of the stadium. And since Moorhead is awesome again and pulling in recruits, just put him in the dougout.

LOL. But for real, I would like to see some fire right about now. Out of anyone.

[MarketingBully]

This game reminds me of the LSU SECT game. Ironically a Ginn start as well.

[ShotgunDawg]

This game reminds me of the LSU SECT game. Ironically a Ginn start as well.

Yeah, JT hasn't been giving us much of a chance lately

[CadaverDawg]

So now we won't have a fresh Ginn, Smith, or Liebelt for the rest of the Regional, and we're only in the 4th inning against Southern!!!

You paint a worst case scenario and MSU will say "hold my beer"

[MetEdDawg]

Don't look now, but we are now losing to said SWAC team and looking bad doing it. Team better wake up fast. And to think have been given tickets from a friend for the game tomorrow which I still expect to be the night game. Hail State!

Not concerned yet. It's the Top of the 4th and we just had to pull our starter after his last warm up pitch, then throw a freshman into the game without warning.

That's gonna cause things to go a tad crazy. We've gotten through it now. Time to hit.

[Irondawg]

Boy that was a tough top 4, but at least it's over only 2 down.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

We don’t need to pitch Liebelt to more than this one batter if we are thinking long term.

[ShotgunDawg]

At least Liebelt looks on

[NCDawg]

Now we're having to burn the guy who's been our best reliever in the 4th inning. We're going to need a CG from Small tomorrow

That's our primary problem. We really don't a "go to" guy in relief, other than Lieblelt.

[Dawg2003]

We absolutely have to win these first 2 games, or we will not get out of this regional.

[ShotgunDawg]

We don’t need to pitch Liebelt to more than this one batter if we are thinking long term.

Not sure who you go to after him though.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Liebelt staring down the hitter. Finally someone looking like they want to be there.
Now tell everyone to work some counts. Get to a count where you know whats coming, and drive the ball.

[Percho]

Auburn up 9 - 2

[dantheman4248]

We haven’t had our turn in the 4th and they’ve already gone to the pen before us.

Plus Smith will be good to use tomorrow with that short of a pitch count.

Ain’t the best scenario but there are some positives going on, don’t forget. We aren’t behind in the run count yet.

[ShotgunDawg]

Come on guys.

Have some patience at the plate

[MarketingBully]

So now we won't have a fresh Ginn, Smith, or Liebelt for the rest of the Regional, and we're only in the 4th inning against Southern!!!

You paint a worst case scenario and MSU will say "hold my beer"

I’m more concerned that we aren’t hitting an 82-83 mph fastball the only pitch that pitcher has consistently thrown for a strike.

[Dawg2003]

We don’t need to pitch Liebelt to more than this one batter if we are thinking long term.

I think right now, we're gonna have to think short term, or there won't be a long term.

[MarketingBully]

Why is Hatcher playing? 1 pitch one out.

[bobtail bob]

If the last two weeks have been any indication we will start hacking away at pitches in the dirt and a foot outside

[Drugdog]

Embarrassing... nothing else to say.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Another swing at ball 3 with a 2-0 count results in a lazy fly ball.

[ShotgunDawg]

Another fly ball

[PMDawg]

delete

[RougeDawg]

One thing we are definitely doing is not getting the bat out in front of the plate at contact.

Might I add. That’s why you are seeing all of these pop ups. Bat head is dipping.

[ShotgunDawg]

Another swing at ball 3 with a 2-0 count results in a lazy fly ball.

Everyone thinks Geautru is an excellent coach, but this team's approach currently is a sign of no coaching

[MetEdDawg]

Holy hell what was Gilbert thinking??

Ok we look off but damn that's just mental dumb ass right there.

Lemonis needs to light a fire

[Marvin]

Everyone thinks Geautru is an excellent coach, but this team's approach currently is a sign of no coaching

Good grief..

[Bdawg]

Another swing at ball 3 with a 2-0 count results in a lazy fly ball.

That is about as an awful approach as you can get. 2-0 pitch is supposed to be perfect

[dantheman4248]

Uhh. He should be on 2nd. That was interference as hell. That’s on the other 3 umpires for not watching that.

[Cooterpoot]

Not our year. Total lack of discipline at the plate. Pitching not holding up. This team has come apart late in the year. We may win this game, but we’re going to tear through our pen.

[gravedigger]

One thing we are definitely doing is not getting the bat out in front of the plate at contact.

Ever since mangum swung at ball 3, we've looked poor at the plate. we seem to be swinging for long balls.

[ShotgunDawg]

Good grief..

Ok, explain? Do we look like a well coached offense?

[MarketingBully]

Mangum has been horrifyingly bad these last couple of weeks.

[ShotgunDawg]

1-0 count & Mangum swings at a pitch over his head.

I seriously don't it at all

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Jake still trying to be a power hitter.

[Percho]

Four pop up in one inning

[mparkerfd20]

Jake has become a shit hitter

[RougeDawg]

Swinging at balls. All high pitches and we are hitting all fly balls.

[Skydawg1]

NIce answer, Bulldogs. Who didn't see THAT coming.

[ShotgunDawg]

Another fly ball.

Not sure why any pitcher would ever throw Mangum a strike. In pro-ball, they damn sure won't

[Marvin]

Ok, explain? Do we look like a well coached offense?

Players gotta play.

[Drugdog]

If we lose this, this will go down as one of the biggest most embarrassing loss in history. Along with Maine.

[MarketingBully]

Holy hell what was Gilbert thinking??

Ok we look off but damn that's just mental dumb ass right there.

Lemonis needs to light a fire

Lemonis lighting a fire? That’s laughable.

[ScoobaDawg]

will someone hit a ball on the damn ground...

[GreenheadDawg]

We ****ing suck right now. This dude is throwing meat and we pop it up

[ShotgunDawg]

Jake has become a shit hitter

He doesn't swing at strikes. It's that simple.

Hitters that don't swing at strikes, can't hit. Pure & simple

[Saltydog]

Mangum isn't even hitting the ball hard. It's one thing to be in a slump and just not getting down but he ain't even close.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Fly ball, Fly Ball dropped , Flyball, Fly Ball. Do not make him make a pitch. Not a single one that entire inning.

[bigplayslay]

The Southern outfield is getting a helluva workout with all these pop flies..... Just bad right now.

[RougeDawg]

Westburg again. Lazy late swing. Does not get hands out front, bat dips and lazy pop fly. We done.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Another fly ball.

Not sure why any pitcher would ever throw Mangum a strike. In pro-ball, they damn sure won't

No need, he will even get on one knee to swat at whatever is thrown

[Irondawg]

We've got some nice 365 feet flyouts to CF

[bobtail bob]

All laid back in the dugout. Somebody needs to make it uncomfortable in there

[Cooterpoot]

Too much exit velo and launch angle bullshit. No focus on approach.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Mangum isn't even hitting the ball hard. It's one thing to be in a slump and just not getting down but he ain't even close.

I would start Mangum hitting right handed no matter the pitcher, until he busts this slump. He keeps trying to lift the ball, just hit the mother 17er.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Done

[deadheaddawg]

Can we go ahead and pull Mangum's scholarship? This is ridiculous. Not only are we wasting half a scholarship on a guy that can't hit, we put him in the leadoff position.

They need to get his ass off campus. Sooner the better.

We haven’t focused on our approach in weeks.

We all love Jake, that being said, he has had 2 awful at bats this game. he sets the tone. And right now the tone he is setting is swing at everything. We need to start grinding AB's like MacNamee did earlier.

[ShotgunDawg]

Southern now with an .850 BABIP in this game

[Goldendawg]

That's our primary problem. We really don't a "go to" guy in relief, other than Lieblelt.

No, that it not our primary problem. Our primary problem is that we have it a tremendous hitting slump the last few weeks. Plenty of routine fly balls so far in this game. Any proof to to rumor that there has been cross-coaching recently and JoMo put some of his '18 offensive plays into our baseball playbook?**** Past time for our hitters to wake up!

Imagine being this damn dumb

[Maroonthirteen]

Yep. Their starter was throwing high school fastballs and not
Many over the plate. If he doesn?t walk two, we may be blanked at this point.

We are in a helluva slump at the moment.

I've seen stupid posts but you just made the hall of fame

F*ck off your worthless walking piece of shit.

[BuckyIsAB****]

2 hits against Southern university hahahaha

[deadheaddawg]

Imagine being this damn dumb

Oh. Bless your heart
