*****Mississippi State Bulldogs vs Miami Hurricanes*****

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Fist pitch tells me all I need to know We get Shit Barlow again. Shouldn't have pulled Plumlee, with his pitch count and how he was throwing it pulling him means the bullpen will have to go 2+ more with 0 evidence they'd do a better job

[CadaverDawg]

Dammit Barlow, throw strikes

[maroonmania]

Barlow has problems getting the ball over the plate.

Yep, Barlow has been walking about half the batters he's faced lately.

[KOdawg1]

I don't understand how you get to this level and can't consistently throw strikes

[magrooder]

I guess we just brought Barlow in to load the bases. It's a bold strategy Cotton.

[CadaverDawg]

Get Barlow's wild ass out

[PMDawg]

He got hosed on ball 3

[VandelayIndustries]

Don;t leave him out there

[Dawgology]

Pulling Plumlee was a head scratcher.

[Bdawg]

Great job Barlow. Come in and walk the guy

[maroonmania]

Barlow walks him. Shocker.

[CadaverDawg]

We're ****ed

[msstate7]

Miami coach stuck with his pitcher through some bad luck. Lemonis panicked over a little bad luck.

[Bdawg]

Need a big K

[CadaverDawg]

Barlow, Self....wtf do our coaches watch?

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

I don't understand how you get to this level and can't consistently throw strikes

Forget "consistently", if he's aiming for the edge f the plate then even an inaccurate pitcher will get 50% of them strikes. Barlow somehow misses on 80% of his throws

[KOdawg1]

Barlow has no idea where the ball is going

[The Federalist Engineer]

Barlow? Why? Barlow Why?

Why? We just do some things that don't make sense sometimes. Like we are playing Alcorn State or something

[Bdawg]

Please don't hit the damn guy 0-2

[CadaverDawg]

Barlow gonna hit the guy on 0-2 with bases loaded. Tells you everything

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Please don't hit the damn guy 0-2

Holy crap he almost did

[maroonmania]

We're ****ed

We were fortunate last night to get out of things with Self in there. Pulling Plumlee this early for Barlow is just as bad.

[VandelayIndustries]

Huge

[msstate7]

Hell yeah

[magrooder]

Double play, but the run scores 3-2 good guys.

[Bdawg]

Definitely take that!!!

[KOdawg1]

I'll trade in a run for 2 outs. Good job getting a ground ball Barlow. Now get out of the inning without letting them tie it

[CadaverDawg]

Big DP

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

And another thing about the coaching decision, this batter is a righty. I assumed there were back to back lefties

[msstate7]

Butch Thompson got auburn to SR

[VandelayIndustries]

Hell of a job Barlow

[PMDawg]

Way to make us all look stupid Barlow!

[magrooder]

I guess that's why he brought Barlow in...

[CadaverDawg]

Wow! Barlow got out of it

[Bdawg]

Very very very big to only give up one!!! Now let's get some back and knock this guy out!!

[ScoobaDawg]

well it wasn't pretty but he got out it without giving up the tie.

[chef dixon]

Need to work the count this inning

[maroonmania]

Whoo! Great job there to get out that still with the lead. Barlow is good if he can throw strikes but that not something he does very often.

[msstate7]

I guess that's why he brought Barlow in...

It definitely worked. Still think plumlee was the better option. They're in our pen now

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Well, Barlow someohow got it done. Man on 1st and 3rd 0 out and he gives up 1, that's all you can ask for.

Still shouldn't have pulled Plumlee. He'd only given up 1 hit and no walks in the last couple innings

[ScoobaDawg]

Butch Thompson got auburn to SR
He and Steve Smith are damn good coaches... if they are hitting can be dangerous

[KOdawg1]

With the amount of lefties they have, I actually wouldn't mind sending Barlow back out there but on a VERY short leash. Bring in Liebelt to finish it off at the first sign of trouble

[maroonmania]

Butch Thompson got auburn to SR

And LSU, as usual, is going to luck into a SR hosting a regional 3 seed. Unbelievable their voodoo luck.

[msstate7]

Om 12-2

Bianco to SR

[CadaverDawg]

Gonna take more than 3 runs to win

[msstate7]

And LSU, as usual, is going to luck into a SR hosting a regional 3 seed. Unbelievable their voodoo luck.

They're down 4-3 right now

[CadaverDawg]

Our hitters just quit after the big inning, as usual

[maroonmania]

They're down 4-3 right now

You really think USM has any shot to beat LSU twice in BR?

[NCDawg]

Think we're going to need more than 3 runs.

[KOdawg1]

C'mon guys. Don't get complacent

[Dawgology]

Wasted at bat. Smfh

[msstate7]

Not sure why we aren't more patient.

[CadaverDawg]

Om 12-2

Bianco to SR

And those dipshits wanted him fired bc we own them

[chef dixon]

I guess 19 year olds don't get tired

[Dawgology]

Our hitters just quit after the big inning, as usual

This

[Bdawg]

Just rolling over this guys this inning. Man its hard to win by only having 1 good inning at the plate

[maroonmania]

Our hitters just quit after the big inning, as usual

Our offense is not good right now against competent pitching. That CMU pitcher yesterday and the Southern guy Friday were not good.

[CadaverDawg]

We make shit so easy on a pitcher. You don't ever have to prove you can throw strikes against us.

[Percho]

Our hitters just quit after the big inning, as usual

They are all ahead of the ball.

[msstate7]

You really think USM has any shot to beat LSU twice in BR?

No idea.

[maroonmania]

Way too easy. Not even putting any pressure on this guy now.

[KOdawg1]

I trust Colby for 1 inning. Light em up kid

[CadaverDawg]

1 swing away from a tie game. And this team can turn around a fastball

[KOdawg1]

They are all ahead of the ball.

And making baby-ass soft contact

[KOdawg1]

And here we go

[maroonmania]

Can someone explain to me how we got the #17 team in the country as our 2 seed and OM got no other ranked team in their regional?

[CadaverDawg]

Son of a bitch. I've got a bad feeling about this game. We dicked around and didn't step on their throat

[KOdawg1]

Just throw fastballs Colby. They aren't gonna touch it

[Marvin]

Ginn available for an inning?

[West Tn Dawg]

I'm afraid they keep getting lead off runner on base, they are going to bust open before it's over!

[VandelayIndustries]

Throw that cheese

[maroonmania]

We are going to have to score another run or two to win this one.

[ScoobaDawg]

Son of a bitch. I've got a bad feeling about this game. We dicked around and didn't step on their throat
Thanks I know we are gonna win now...

Big time back to back K's. Colby is zipping it.

[maroonmania]

Well that helped. Struck out on a ball at head level.

[ScoobaDawg]

93. 94. 95...

[Dental Dawg33]

Does white not have a change up?

[CadaverDawg]

Hats off to this hitter. Geez

[magrooder]

Way to hang in there Colby White!!

[ScoobaDawg]

come on colby get this guy... that was the 11th pitch of the bat..96

[VandelayIndustries]

Nice. Need some runs, let's go

[CadaverDawg]

Hell yeah!!

[ScoobaDawg]

popped him up!!!! fosc got it!!!! to the top of the 8th 3-2 dawgs!!

[KOdawg1]

Hey pitchers: that's how you nut up, challenge a hitter, and not back down. Hell of an inning

[CadaverDawg]

Thanks I know we are gonna win now...

Big time back to back K's. Colby is zipping it.

You know my strategy in postseason

[RougeDawg]

Need to tack on a couple here.

[CadaverDawg]

Hey pitchers: that's how you nut up, challenge a hitter, and not back down. Hell of an inning

Yep. Colby says, I ain't nibbling, here it comes see if you can hit it!

[Bdawg]

That was fun to watch!! Night night Colby White!!!

[KOdawg1]

I swear this guy can't get off of Miami's ****

[maroonmania]

Come on guys, let's score another run or two.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

I run him back out there but have him use the change some too. He's as good vs lefties as Leibelt or Gordon would be so i see no reason to pull him now that he's proven he can locate 95. Let him go till he gives up a runner

[magrooder]

Let's get it going Gilbert

[maroonmania]

A decent offensive game and we would be sitting pretty right now.

[Bdawg]

I swear this guy can't get off of Miami's ****

Sounds like we got a guy affiliated with Miami I believe.

[CadaverDawg]

Damn Gilbert, what you swinging at

[maroonmania]

Sounds like we got a guy affiliated with Miami I believe.

Apparently his mail carrier is the mother of one of the Miami players.

[chef dixon]

Just don't swing gilbert

[maroonmania]

Damn Gilbert, what you swinging at

That first pitch was a ball called a strike which started him off bad.

[magrooder]

Good at bat. Let's go Jake. Keep it going.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Damn Gilbert, what you swinging at

Ump called a FB off the plate a K and they went to a slider in the same spot. Ump set that up

[Bdawg]

Nice job Gilbert!!! Great AB

[CadaverDawg]

Way to battle, Gilbert!

[ScoobaDawg]

Way to watch Gilbert!!!! Let's go JAKE!!!!

[maroonmania]

Good AB by Gilbert!

[chef dixon]

The. Mayor. Is. Back.

[msstate7]

Finish em here

[VandelayIndustries]

Jake baby

[Bdawg]

Hell yeah baby!!!!!

[KOdawg1]

LET'S 17ING GO

[magrooder]

WOOOHOOOO, Jake with a double, men on second and third no outs.

[ScoobaDawg]

DOUUUUUBLLLLLEEEEEE

[Commercecomet24]

Jake busting out at the right time!

[CadaverDawg]

Mangum!!!

Finish these bastards!!!! Step on the throat!! Sweep the leg!!!

[PMDawg]

The Mayor

[Cooterpoot]

Well, Jake is back. Things about to really take off now.

[CadaverDawg]

Intentionally walk Westburg for us...I dare you

[magrooder]

Anything in the outfield. Let's go Westy

[PMDawg]

Mangum!!!

Finish these bastards!!!! Step on the throat!! Sweep the leg!!!

Blue Pump head shot

[VandelayIndustries]

Get more let's go

[magrooder]

Westberg with the double 5-2 Good DAWGS!!!

[KOdawg1]

The two hitters who have been slumping have come through tonight.

[CadaverDawg]

BOOOOOOOM!!!!

[Bdawg]

Hell 17in yeah westy!!!!!!!!!!! Rip that baby!!!!

[Dental Dawg33]

Boom Baby!! HELL YES

[RocketDawg]

Takes a lot of nerve to do those head first slides.

[msstate7]

Taking care of business

[CadaverDawg]

WESTBURG, YOU BEAUTIFUL BASTARD!!!!

[PMDawg]

Nice slide mr mangum

[Cooterpoot]

And Westy is back too. Going to be some beat downs coming for some teams the rest of the way.

[Bdawg]

The two hitters who have been slumping have come through tonight.

Time for everyone to start clicking!!!! Right on time!!!

[Scared_Hitless]

Jake and Westy hitting again its time to win the whole damn thing

[KOdawg1]

Time for everyone to start clicking!!!! Right on time!!!

Yep. We're gonna win a natty

[Commercecomet24]

And Westy is back too. Going to be some beat downs coming for some teams the rest of the way.

Yep. You could feel it coming. Great hitters don't stay down for long

[maroonmania]

Glad that worked because had we made the 1st out at HP again I would not have been very happy. Luckily the throw was up the line. Got a great shot to get Westy in here.

[CadaverDawg]

Glad that worked because had we made the 1st out at HP again I would not have been very happy. Luckily the throw was up the line. Got a great shot to get Westy in here.

Haha your pessimistic ass was thinking the same thing I was.

[CadaverDawg]

Mac needs to hit and we would officially have everyone back

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Now lets see if we can get Mac in on the party

[CadaverDawg]

Damn, Mac just missed it

[PMDawg]

Foscue due for a weak grounder

[CadaverDawg]

How bout a double, Foscue?

[Turfdawg67]

Hey Westburg, nice to have you back too

Had to come back to say... WAY TO GO WESTIE!!!!!

[maroonmania]

Mac's timing is off a little. Glad to have him back but I wish we would bump him at least down behind Foscue.

[CadaverDawg]

Foscue due for a bomb

Even better

[CadaverDawg]

Ok, let's get 3 outs here and then add a few more

[PMDawg]

Even better

Fixed it. Lol

[Bdawg]

1-0 pitch and swinging at a deuce. That just really bothers the hell out of me(unless it's up and you recognize it and put it in the parking lot.)

[West Tn Dawg]

Foscue due for a weak grounder

Been telling my brother that for two days. You know it's time!

[maroonmania]

3 shots there to get a hit with the heart of the lineup and we don't get Westburg in. Oh well, nothing is ever easy for us. Glad to get 2 there though.

[Bdawg]

Foscue due for a weak grounder


On point

[West Tn Dawg]

Who do we pitch tommorow? Running through them pretty quick! ************

[KOdawg1]

Had to come back to say... WAY TO GO WESTIE!!!!!

Go read the rest of my posts. You won't find anyone happier for him than me

[CadaverDawg]

Keep it DOWN Liebelt

[Bdawg]

Who do we pitch tommorow? Running through them pretty quick! ************

Nobody damnit!!

[CadaverDawg]

C'mon Blue

[Turfdawg67]

Go read the rest of my posts. You won't find anyone happier for him than me

There were no "***" in my statement. I'm glad too!

[Dental Dawg33]

DP right here.....

[CadaverDawg]

No walks, Liebelt, come on

[magrooder]

C'mon Blue

It's frustrating watching this guy call pitches.

[CadaverDawg]

Son of a butch, Liebelt. Can't have guys coming in walking folks

[Percho]

We are not getting the same calls

[maroonmania]

If Leibelt's ball is going to run that much he has got to start it more in the heart of the strike zone.

[CadaverDawg]

Get him out of there before he leaves one up. He ain't got it tonight

[Commercecomet24]

Terribly inconsistent ump

[Percho]

Thats not on Liebelt

[maroonmania]

Son of a butch, Liebelt. Can't have guys coming in walking folks

Everything is running outside to the LH hitters.

[West Tn Dawg]

I'm about tired of hearing these guys blow Miami and their players!!!

[CadaverDawg]

Tying run up. GET HIM OUT

[Bdawg]

Terribly inconsistent ump

It's quite bad

[ScoobaDawg]

Blah. 2 on. 1 out. come on liebelt.

[West Tn Dawg]

Thats not on Liebelt

Agree, there were two that were strikes all night!

[GreenheadDawg]

Why would we not keep White our there?

[maroonmania]

Get him out of there before he leaves one up. He ain't got it tonight

Who else do we have that we have any faith in? Guess we could bring Cole back again.

[RougeDawg]

I'm about tired of hearing these guys blow Miami and their players!!!

Miami does have a lot of talent. Just young. Next year they will be a beast if they can keep pitching as is.

[Dental Dawg33]

Swing at ball 2 thankfully. Need this guy Liebelt

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

As I said we should have run White back out. 95 with location and he hadn't used the change up yet... as i said there's 0 reason to think Leibelt or Gordon would do better

[VandelayIndustries]

Yea Miami will be ranked high in the preaseason

[maroonmania]

Why would we not keep White our there?

Might should have given him at least one hitter to see how he looked.

[Bdawg]

Well crap

[ScoobaDawg]

damnit... he roped that to lf.. bases loaded

[msstate7]

Please hit a ball directly to westburg

[Dawg2003]

Who else is even left after Liebelt?

[CadaverDawg]

This could go real badly

[RougeDawg]

That 6th run left on base last inning may come back to haunt us.

[West Tn Dawg]

He's squeezing the hell out of him!

[VandelayIndustries]

Hell yes

[Dental Dawg33]

HUGE

[magrooder]

Another double play for the good DAWGS!!!!!!!!!!!

[msstate7]

Please hit a ball directly to westburg

Good enough

[PMDawg]

BOOOOOOOM!

[Bdawg]

Wow!!! Where these DPs coming from?? Ha ha ha !!!!

[CadaverDawg]

HUUUUUUUGE!!!

[RougeDawg]

Double plays starting to stack up in the postseason. Another good sign.

[ScoobaDawg]

DOUBLE PLAy!!!!

[Commercecomet24]

Defense has stepped up big time!

[Turfdawg67]

Son of a butch, Liebelt. Can't have guys coming in walking folks

You do know that there is a fine line between a great pitch and a "called ball" right? He's pitching fine. Can't serve meat every time trying to challenge this team.

[maroonmania]

Woohoo! DP!

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

holy shit

[CadaverDawg]

Wow!!! Where these DPs coming from?? Ha ha ha !!!!

More DP's tonight than the whole season combined haha

[The Federalist Engineer]

That's a back breaking DP.

[msstate7]

Double plays starting to stack up in the postseason. Another good sign.

Yeah, I guess... means we giving up base runners though

[bobtail bob]

Clutch shit right there

[Cloak]

Let's goooooooo

[CadaverDawg]

You do know that there is a fine line between a great pitch and a "called ball" right? He's pitching fine. Can't serve meat every time trying to challenge this team.

Dude, you haven't been around very long obviously. May want to get used to my negativity this postseason....my reverse jinx negativity basically carried us to the National Championship series in '13, lol

[magrooder]

Skelton takes one for the team

[CadaverDawg]

Yeah, I guess... means we giving up base runners though

My man

[VandelayIndustries]

Let's go, need more runs

[Bdawg]

Yeah, I guess... means we giving up base runners though

But not giving up big innings!!!

[The Federalist Engineer]

Need to make this lead grandslam proof - it's been that kind of day

[msstate7]

Skelton takes one for the team

Not sure he had a choice. That ball was on him quickly

[CadaverDawg]

Need to make this lead grandslam proof - it's been that kind of day

Amen

[maroonmania]

Boy, I would be tempted to bunt him over here.

[PMDawg]

Who pitches 9th? Good Cole?

[Turfdawg67]

Dude, you haven't been around very long obviously. May want to get used to my negativity this postseason....my reverse jinx negativity basically carried us to the National Championship series in '13, lol

3 years... but OK!!! Whatever works. I'm out again.

[ScoobaDawg]

Lemon didn't bring the 2 strike heart tap... idiots

[The Federalist Engineer]

I hope the Miami kids go home and tell their friends about MSU baseball- no need to play in a little league park in the Alternative Lifestyle Conference

[CadaverDawg]

Gautreau started the chest bump with 2 strikes, not Lemonis

[West Tn Dawg]

Lemon didn't bring the 2 strike heart tap... idiots

I heard nthat and bout screamed at the TV. They giving Miami a hand job all game and probably a BJ after the game!

[maroonmania]

Boy, I would be tempted to bunt him over here.

And that's why. Wasted out against a really good pitcher. One single may be all you can hope for against this guy anyway.

[VandelayIndustries]

Wheels SKelton

[CadaverDawg]

Hatcher could put a nail In the coffin here

[magrooder]

Skelton with the Wheels steal a base and takes third on the throw.

[CadaverDawg]

Do a job, Hatch

[VandelayIndustries]

Damn Cole going 3 straight days

[CadaverDawg]

Dammit Hatcher. Can't K there man

[ScoobaDawg]

I'll take a strike to move Skelton from 1st to 3rd...get a sac fly!
Damnit hatcher K's

[The Federalist Engineer]

I heard nthat and bout screamed at the TV. They giving Miami a hand job all game and probably a BJ after the game!

Announcer is a Gator- they all have little dick envy of MSU

[CadaverDawg]

Damn Cole going 3 straight days

That's why some of us didn't like him pitching in a 7-2 game yesterday

[maroonmania]

And Hatcher can't put the ball in play. Crap.

[CadaverDawg]

Damn Gilbert, we need you here

[magrooder]

Three outs, Let's get it done.

[GreenheadDawg]

Horrible at bats.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

That's why some of us didn't like him pitching in a 7-2 game yesterday

Been some pretty questionable pitching management this weekend but luckily we probably get away with it

[CadaverDawg]

Shit. Hatcher and Gilbert fail

[The Federalist Engineer]

Dammit Hatcher. Can't K there man

Hatch needs to hit the weights and develop Foscue's eye of the tiger attitude

[mparkerfd20]

I despise these announcers that's for sure.

[RougeDawg]

Well. This will build some character right here.

[maroonmania]

Shit. Hatcher and Gilbert fail

Yep, a shame that ball didn't get far enough away for Skelton to score. I had zero faith in getting a 2 out hit there.

[CadaverDawg]

Been some pretty questionable pitching management this weekend but luckily we probably get away with it

Very true. Pitching Self and Barlow in big spots is like smoking cigarettes in a match factory

[Bdawg]

That's why some of us didn't like him pitching in a 7-2 game yesterday

Yes I was hoping to save some wear on him too but he's been tough and Im sure coach has a pulse on how he feels.

[West Tn Dawg]

Well. This will build some character right here.

Or break your back! LOL Rock and Fire Cole!

[The Federalist Engineer]

Oh damn Cole Gordon, he wants to carry us on his shoulders

[Bdawg]

Damn Foscue. Get it there

[magrooder]

His foot is on the f'n bag.

[CadaverDawg]

I'm guessing he came off the bag....bc a clean inning wouldn't be MSU

[VandelayIndustries]

Crap

[Bdawg]

Is that indisputable?

[magrooder]

You can't tell his foot is off the bag.

[Bdawg]

Man screw this announcer

[Marvin]

Is that indisputable?

I think it’s clearly safe

[Political Hack]

Whew. That was close. Great stretch at first.

[CadaverDawg]

That was a lazy throw
