*****Super Regional Game 1 Thread*****

[Bothrops]

Great game, great crowd, let's do it tomorrow! Pray for Eagan.

[CadaverDawg]

In a close game yes, up by 4 with the entire pen available? If White had sucked we could have brought Leibelt in earlier. if Leibelt sucked Cole would have come in earlier, or Barlow would have come in.

I agree with the coaches; let each pitcher get an inning to get loose and ensure they get some work in this week regardless of what happens tomorrow. 1 inning isn't going to affect their effectiveness tomorrow

Yeah I definitely wasn't worried about tiring them out or using them up, just more concerned that if you have White or Liebelt throwing well but decide to cut them off at 1 inning, and then Cole is off...you could get yourself in a situation where you have no reliable arms left if they rip Cole and you need to shut it down. Not necessarily talking about tonight...just in general. I'm totally fine with it in a 6-2 game

This teams on a mission! Business like approach business like win! They know what they want! Prayers for Eagan!

Seriously I get the complaining to somehow change negativity but I will never get a fan base shitting on a player. I’ll complain at the negativity because it seems to work but I’m guessing if we lose the negativity will be honestly serious. Kinda sad that we have a few who are looking to shit on players to prove their fandom

Dude, just stop. What are you even talking about? It's a game thread, move on.

I haven't even read the game thread, but I suggest you don't either if you're going to make a post like this after every one of them.

You’re upset about me complaining about your poor post but you have no problem posting negativity about poor play? Ha you’re a dumbass if you don’t see it. But you go and tell your friends how you are a big fan of State and did players out because it’s for the teams good. Don’t shit on a player because of one game or play.

Do you have a new version of Webster?s dictionary? Stating facts is not being negative. If a fact is not positive, it is still a fact. Stop thinking what you?re been taught to think and start thinking independently.

I'm not upset at all. Quite pumped actually. Just trying to keep you from looking more foolish. Carry on.

[Dawgcap]

I’m cool with stating facts and you can throw them at me all day. It’s easy on a message board but yet you claim a fact on a play that there is always a possible error. But you are so adamant in your opinion I wonder if you bring this FACT to player or family involved. You love this team as much as I do but I tend to respect a kid playing a game at the highest level that I could only dream of. Being anonymous on a message board doesn’t give you a right to shit on a player busting his ass to win. Years ago I got mad at John Bond. Mumbled 3-8 wasn’t for shit. He turned and looked at me. Saw the frustration in his eyes. He was pissed. I will never disrespect a player. They want to win more than we do. I respect the guys who play to win. Just my take

Maybe message boards aren't for you. You do this every single time. Just get over it.

I think we had some nerves early maybe- like when Gilbert let that ground ball go through his legs. But overall we took car of them and I think Jake stealing that home run settled things down some.

Your right. But I have a problem when an anonymous person calls out a player by name. We have won 50 games but yet we have a fan base shitting on a player by name. Wonder how you would think about it it if you were called out by name while your team was winning. Also while you produced to get us to this point. Celebrate your fandom

You're on 2 boards doing this shit. Maybe it's you?

I doubt I would give a shit about that if I was a player.

[Dawgcap]

Yep I am. And so are you but you are offended by my post while you haven’t played a play in a game? So why are you upset? Shouldn’t it be ok for you to be called out since you can call out players by name?

[Commercecomet24]

Yeah I think we might've been a little amped up in that first inning but Jake robbing that hr settled em in. Different game after that.

[KOdawg1]

Let. It. Go. Don't read the game thread tomorrow, bc guess what? It'll probably piss you off.

Or better yet, start your own thread where nothing negative is allowed. Seriously, others might feel the same as you, and they might enjoy it

Again, not upset in the least. And no, I haven't said a thing on the other board where you're whining. I'm entertained by the fact that you come to messageboards expecting something else. It's hilarious, bc every board of every team is similar (hence the reason you're able to cry about the same thing on two different boards tonight. Coincidence? I think not). But by all means, keep fighting the dumb, unwinnable fight.

You are right. Won?t read tomorrow. Thought I?d see a good thread tonight with us winning. I apologize for getting upset but damn y?all we should never shit on guys busting their asses and get pissed off when we are called out for being wrong. The hypocrisy of it is amazing. You wanna bitch about individual players by name don?t get upset when questioned by your username. It?s hilarious

[Todd4State]

The umpire made it hard too. He was very inconsistent and it looked like he wanted everything up in the zone. I think it's good that we saw a lot of their bullpen too.

I think that may have been the worst umpiring job all season(and that's saying a lot!)! Spot on about seeing a lot of their arms.

Damn dude. It?s a freaking message board. During a monumental game. Involving a major college baseball team with one of the top 3-4 most rabid fan bases in the country. Embrace it. Damn

Damn dude you are right. I’m wrong. Keep calling players out by name for a bad at bat, pitch, or fielding play. But by all means stay anonymous. Celebrate the wins but look forward to bitching about the losses.

Cool dude.
Game ball goes to Gilbert. Dude made some plays at third.
Mangum was money in field.

I think it may be a good idea to start deleting the game thread immediately following the last out or when time runs out in other sports. Then start a post game thread to continue talking about it.

Game threads are tough because we all want to talk about the game together as fans and with that comes passion, emotion, and saying things that our non-emotional, non- passionate selves are frankly embarrassed by.

However, I don't think you can have one without the other. So the best compromise is to just delete the game thread immediately following the last out. Doing that allows people to say what they want to say, and for people who are offended by what's said in the game threads to not be able to read them.

What you find on a message board is that it seems to be the function of posters to emotionally blurt out things that prove moments later to be untrue.

These outbursts,as you can tell, are referred to as FACT by the howler monkeys.

In a bit of humorous irony, they are uttered almost exclusively by people bitching about the crowd or the stadium whey wouldn?t get off their ass to actually sit in.

And finally, the real irony is these same people are the LEAST able to accept criticism about their ideas.

Remember: it?s a message board where uninformed emotional statements are made. But DO NOT under any circumstances turn that very same reasoning on them to accept your observations about their....ahem...facts. OH GOD NO. It doesn?t work THAT way.

What a sarcastic asshole point of view. Grats man.

BTW, let's throw some praise at Marshall Gilbert's arm strength. Holy hell that dude has a cannon. Uncle Rico couldn't keep up.

The Guy has impressed me at third! Big arm and has solidified third base

[West Tn Dawg]

It's not always negativity as some like to say. If Mangum comes to the plate and strikes out on a pitch in the other batters box and some one says that was a weak ass at bat, it is a fact. You will get blasted with all the post about how great Mangum is, he is the best hitter ever in the SEC, and all that is true. But it doesn't change the fact that he just had a weak ass at bat. Probably about a half million people just had the same thought, that was weak.
