*****Saturday Regional Thread - Dawgs vs Chippewas *****

[Percho]

Self should pitch to contact and not walk people.

[MarketingBully]

Self is a ground ball double play pitcher but the problem is our infield isn’t good defensively. Gilbert has been great tonight though starting two of them.

[Skydawg1]

If the NCAA is all about fairness....how the hell does Dick Cross get to do the Oxford Reg and Ben McD the BR Regional?

[MarketingBully]

Jake 0-15 that just isn’t good.

[MarketingBully]

Wow Jake is so bad right now. Hopefully he gets out of this funk before the Supers.

[chef dixon]

He is gonna lose the hit record at this rate

[Irondawg]

I’d bring self back out there until he gives up a single runner

[CadaverDawg]

What were you looking for, Westburg?

[Mjoelner34]

Colby White in.

[Bdawg]

Can we PLEASE SCORE SOME RUNS


Nope

[CadaverDawg]

I’d bring self back out there until he gives up a single runner

So one hitter*

[Marvin]

Alltime leader in backwards K’s

[MarketingBully]

He is gonna lose the hit record at this rate

Duplantis was 25 hits behind Mangum entering the regionals. Unless Dullantis goes on a 1.000 type of run through the regionals I think he’s safe with the record.

[CadaverDawg]

Florida State is whipping Georgia's ass

[magrooder]

So one hitter*

It's funny because it's true

[CadaverDawg]

It's funny because it's true

Lol

[MaroonFlounder]

We been calling for Colby White for 2 weeks. Finallly

[CadaverDawg]

Colby showing great command and location. And great velocity

[CadaverDawg]

Colby showing great command and location. And great velocity

Spoke too soon. 4 pitch walk.

[MaroonFlounder]

Colby showing great command and location. And great velocity

He looks to have a slight pause in his windup at times like Small

[West Tn Dawg]

Colby showing great command and location. And great velocity

You were saying? LOL

[Commercecomet24]

Ump been inconsistent on that
Low strike

[West Tn Dawg]

Rock and Fire, Colby!

[RezDog7]

Somebody send a fat chick to Jakes room tonight.

[RocketDawg]

He looks to have a slight pause in his windup at times like Small

Yeah, noticed that too.

[RocketDawg]

A few insurance runs would be nice here since we're the visiting team.

[Bdawg]

Spoke too soon. 4 pitch walk.

2 were very close

[magrooder]

that's how you pitch with a 4 point lead.

[Skydawg1]

Apparently the capacity of the new Dude is 11,500.That is horseshit. The stands are 95% full, so is the outfield. Cohen's got some 'splainin to do.

[Bdawg]

He looks to have a slight pause in his windup at times like Small

Funny how he bring the ball out of his glove and by his chest before bringing it back to deliver

[RocketDawg]

Their new pitcher his HUGE. Must be about 6-10.

[dantheman4248]

How’s that for insurance?

[magrooder]

Tanner F'n Allen with the zoom boom to right field

[RocketDawg]

That is horseshit. The stands are 95% full, so is the outfield. Cohen's got some 'splainin to do.

The outfield is more than 100%. People are stacked in like sardines.

[Bdawg]

Attababy Tanner

[RocketDawg]

How’s that for insurance?

That's good.

[maroonmania]

Thanks Tanner!

[MaroonFlounder]

TA got every bit of that one

[R2Dawg]

Last 29 games, no one in country hitting ball better than Allen.

[Mjoelner34]

Thor in to finish it. Cumbest to RF.

[MarketingBully]

Rowdy is now batting over .300 as well. Both him and TA are getting hot at the right moment.

[MarketingBully]

Thor in to finish it. Cumbest to RF.

I’ll feel so much better when Mac is back in right field. Hopefully he can get there by Super Regional weekend.

[CadaverDawg]

Why Gordon? He threw almost 50 pitches yesterday. Our pitching decisions are baffling

[magrooder]

Great catch by Jake.

[CadaverDawg]

Mangum makes his presence felt even when he isn't hitting

[RocketDawg]

Great catch by Mangum.

[DownwardDawg]

Why Gordon? He threw almost 50 pitches yesterday. Our pitching decisions are baffling

IKR!!! Best season we’ve had in many years so we’re not used to great coaching I guess!!

[MarketingBully]

What a great play by Jake there!!!

[CadaverDawg]

Glad Gordo is being efficient. We may need him in long relief in the next day or two

[CadaverDawg]

Glad Gordo is being efficient. We may need him in long relief in the next day or two

Spoke too soon again.

[magrooder]

Two very questionable called balls.

[Duckdog]

Why Gordon? He threw almost 50 pitches yesterday. Our pitching decisions are baffling

because he aint no puss!

[magrooder]

Ball Game!

[Commercecomet24]

Cole Gordon has been one of our all time best post season players. He thrives in this atmosphere

[CadaverDawg]

Boom! Victory!!

Let's wrap this puppy up tomorrow!!!

HailState

[CadaverDawg]

Cole Gordon has been one of our all time best post season players. He thrives in this atmosphere

No doubt. Beast

[maroonmania]

Good win Dogs!

[RocketDawg]

If we were to lose tomorrow night, there's another game Monday?

[CadaverDawg]

because he aint no puss!

Cole definitely isn't. That's why I want to have him fully available tomorrow if needed. Cole would throw 100 tomorrow if we needed him to though, I guess. He's a postseason beast

[CadaverDawg]

If we were to lose tomorrow night, there's another game Monday?

Yep

[magrooder]

If we were to lose tomorrow night, there's another game Monday?

Yes.

[MarketingBully]

Nice solid win tonight. No complaints from me. Now let?s get this championship tomorrow and on to the Supers.

[dantheman4248]

7-2 and we had people stupid nervous and complaining. Amazing

[Bdawg]

Nice win. So I guess we are Chippewa fans now with Miami saving some there pitchers?

[Bdawg]

Nice solid win tonight. No complaints from me. Now let?s get this championship tomorrow and on to the Supers.

Yes great win but only 1 complaint. I just don't trust Self in that spot. His command just is not there

[CadaverDawg]

Nice win. So I guess we are Chippewa fans now with Miami saving some there pitchers?

Yep, I'm pulling for a CMU win tomorrow, but a close long game

[MarketingBully]

Yes great win but only 1 complaint. I just don't trust Self in that spot. His command just is not there

Well, he did his job and saved us from using other arms there. Tomorrow Leibelt and others we pitched on Friday should be available. I think Plumlee will come in and give us a chance. Will be huge if we have similar approach we had tonight at the plate. No matter who we play I think we end it tomorrow.

[tcdog70]

Ethan Small has become my fave Bulldog hurler of all time. Eclipsing Brantley and Dubose.

Brantley Jones all time favorite pitcher. Wears a Archie Who Button on his His Hat. Beat the Rebs 1-0 to win the SEC and give them the double bird as he walks off the mound-striking out their last batter.

[BeardoMSU]

Cole Gordon has been one of our all time best post season players. He thrives in this atmosphere

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Commercecomet24 again.

[West Tn Dawg]

Mangum makes his presence felt even when he isn't hitting

Often something like that wakes em up. Maybe that is what Jake needs to get his head straight at the plate. As was said, Great Catch!

[Activated Alpha]

Hope so because as of the past 4 games he has been an automatic out

[Bdawg]

Will be huge if we have similar approach we had tonight at the plate. No matter who we play I think we end it tomorrow.

Let's just say he barely did his job. Relievers just can't come in and walk guys. It's not his fault. I just don't think he's totally back yet. I used to have plenty of confidence in him. I think we end it tomorrow too. Jake has got to get going too. Like now!!

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

How in the world did Gordon pitch? I thought he was toast after pitching Friday...**

[Interpolation_Dawg_EX]

Will be huge if we have similar approach we had tonight at the plate. No matter who we play I think we end it tomorrow.

I really hope it?s a rematch. Miami pitching looks to be in great shape after today?s game. Anyone know if Plumlee has thrown a night game this year?

[GreenheadDawg]

Nice win. So I guess we are Chippewa fans now with Miami saving some there pitchers?
Does anyone know who Miami has left pitching wise?

[Bdawg]

Does anyone know who Miami has left pitching wise?

It was stated earlier that they have not pitched their #1 or 2 guy. Now one may go tomorrow unless they roll the dice to save both for us.

[GreenheadDawg]

Damn that’s ballsy if true

[Mjoelner34]

It was stated earlier that they have not pitched their #1 or 2 guy. Now one may go tomorrow unless they roll the dice to save both for us.

Per their stats, they've started their #2 and #4 ERA guys.

[Todd4State]

That was a fun game! The atmosphere was as advertised. Hopefully we take care of business tomorrow. I'm not too worried about Jake he is close to getting some hits so I think he is close to getting back on track. One will fall in and off he will go.

[Todd4State]

Per their stats, they've started their #2 and #4 ERA guys.

They almost have to start their one first on Sunday right?

[GreenheadDawg]

They almost have to start their one first on Sunday right?

You would think so. Can’t really roll the dice anymore.

[Liverpooldawg]

That was a fun game. The stadium was spectacular with the big crowd. I still can't believe we have something like that. The play of the game was the double play we turned in the 7th. Things were about get interesting and that snuffed it out.

[RougeDawg]

Jake is pressing hard. He?s pulling off the ball as bad as he ever has. He is at his best looking to go away. Not sure if you can fix it at this point. He has to look middle away and shoot oppo gap. That will help him all around.

In the words of Crash Davis......Don't Think.

[RougeDawg]

In the words of Crash Davis......Don't Think.

You are correct. He is obviously thinking about it. I would like to see him lay down a bunt leading off tomorrow.

Additionally, Skelton butchers the majority of borderline pitches. If someone worked with him on framing technique we would have 75-100 more strikeouts. He makes borderline strikes look like balls with the way he receives the ball. His bat more than makes up for it, but improving his receiving would help all pitchers.

[Todd4State]

Technically it has already burned them.

That's not quite what I am seeing. It looks like he is trying to go the other way a lot and hitting it right at people. He flew out to left field and grounded out to the third baseman or shortstop tonight.

[ShotgunDawg]

I think it's awesome that we're winning and Jake is struggling.

I mean, does anyone think that will continue? This team still hasn't clicked

[Todd4State]

I don't. I think he is getting closer. He probably needs to leg out a hit or something to get going.

[West Tn Dawg]

Problem is, every one keeps saying Jake will be alright and like 87 at bats later, still saying it. He needs to get it NOW. Time is running out.

[Bdawg]

You would think so. Can’t really roll the dice anymore.

I mean how do you face elimination and risk never throwing your #1? I couldn't imagine how much flack our coaches would get if you went to a regional and never threw your best guy.

[RougeDawg]

His hands and shoulders are opening up before the lower half of his body moves. His swing is disconnected. The lower half of your body is supposed to be pushed open by your shoulders and hands through in a rubber band type motion. His hands and shoulders are moving independently of lower body. Even if he does hit the ball the other way, the way he is pulling off will create lazy pop flies and dribblers.

The only outside pitch he hit yesterday was a hard ground ball in the 5-6 hole. He was dead on it and the 3rd baseman made a nice play. Everything else he hit was inside pitches that he hit up the middle, 2 ground balls to 2nd and deep fly ball that was on time just too much lift. The first at bat was hard ground ball to first that he turned on. So really the only pitch you could try and diagnose as him flying open, he didn’t and hit it hard in 5-6 hole. Everything else was inside and hard on the ground, except the deep fly ball that was close to a gap double.
