*****CWS Game 1 vs Auburn Thread*****

[RougeDawg]

I think we should have tried to stretch a couple of these singles into two. Early on their outfielders have Lilly gagged to the ball. We seem timid.

[msstate7]

Skelton trying to go to RF. I like it

[magrooder]

Well there's two guys I could go without hearing from for the rest of my life.

[ShotgunDawg]

That hit came one AB too late. As some have said we need Foscue hitting 4th. Don't know why you have an injured guy batting 4th.

I think the idea is to get Mac more fastballs by hitting Foscue behind him

[maroonmania]

Foscue in the 4 hole and its 3-2

Yep. Lemonis should have moved Mac down a little coming off the injury. His timing is not at full strength.

[CadaverDawg]

Two crooked mfers

[Liverpooldawg]

Well there's two guys I could go without hearing from for the rest of my life.

Pearl will probably get run off when the NCAA goes public.

[maroonmania]

I think the idea is to get Mac more fastballs by hitting Foscue behind him

If Mac had not just had a 3 week layoff I would be OK with that.

[ShotgunDawg]

Take 3-1

[CadaverDawg]

Skelton swinging at ball 4 on 3-1

[HoopsDawg]

how can you swing at that 3-1 curve skelton?

[Liverpooldawg]

Pearl will probably get run off when the NCAA goes public.

Auburn will run Gus off with no help in a year or two.

[CadaverDawg]

how can you swing at that 3-1 curve skelton?

Should only swing at a perfect fastball on that pitch

[Mjoelner34]

Now, take a damn strike Rowdey

[Lord McBuckethead]

Swung at ball 4 again.

[ShotgunDawg]

Swinging at Ball 4 CB on 3-1. That's the problem

[Liverpooldawg]

Got that pitcher out. Needed that.

[maroonmania]

Finally took ball 4.

[msstate7]

Another lefty

[Bdawg]

This is our inning. No outs. 2 on. Let's gooo!!!

[dantheman4248]

Auburn gifted us 2 runners by leaving Owen in this inning. Need at least 1 to score.

[RougeDawg]

Are we going to add to the village or bring some home?

[ShotgunDawg]

We're in business

[HaggardDawg]

Get these media whores off the broadcast, Jesus.

[MarketingBully]

This was the guy we destroyed 15-2 when Ginn was pitching earlier. It’s go time guys.

[maroonmania]

Got that pitcher out. Needed that.

We've got to start getting something on the board.

[HoopsDawg]

Another lefty

This dude is not that good.

[ShotgunDawg]

OK. Owen in out.

Good, good, good.

He was good tonight. Now we get a guy that may make a mistake

[Lord McBuckethead]

Alright. Rowdey needs to take a strike before swinging. I want to see this kids nerves.

[msstate7]

We're in business

No. Groundball!

[CadaverDawg]

would you dare bunt Rowdey? I'd make this guy throw a strike

[MarketingBully]

Another lefty

This was the guy who started the Saturday game. We hit the shit out of him.

[RougeDawg]

Skelton is one of only a few hitters I am ok with swinging there. Dude has been red hot. We need a spark and he has been the plug lately. Need to score at least one here. It will swing momentum.

[Bdawg]

Should only swing at a perfect fastball on that pitch

It has to be on a tee in a 3-1 count. I really don't get our approach

[maroonmania]

Pathetic. Outhitting Auburn 6-3 but losing 3-0.

[Lord McBuckethead]

This is our inning. No outs. 2 on. Let's gooo!!!

Bunt them over. Lol. I would take it, but RJ can get a big double here.

[RougeDawg]

would you dare bunt Rowdey? I'd make this guy throw a strike

Yes. But bunt for a hit.

[MarketingBully]

Skelton is one of only a few hitters I am ok with swinging there. Dude has been red hot. We need a spark and he has been the plug lately. Need to score at least one here. It will swing momentum.

2 on no outs and this is part of the lineup that has been carrying us. Rowdy has been on fire lately.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Every time Peterson calls our games we play like shit. Combine that with Malzahn and Pearl in the booth and my ears are bleeding. I dont understand why they are up there anyway.

[msstate7]

would you dare bunt Rowdey? I'd make this guy throw a strike

No, not for halter

[CadaverDawg]

Yes. But bunt for a hit.

I'm ok with that.

[maroonmania]

Bunt them over. Lol. I would take it, but RJ can get a big double here.

Problem is I don't have much trust in the hitters behind Rowdey.

[CadaverDawg]

No, not for halter

Pinch hit Cumbest?

[magrooder]

would you dare bunt Rowdey? I'd make this guy throw a strike

The problem with bunting is Halter is on deck. No confidence in him.

[maroonmania]

Dang, I guess Rowdey was going to swing at anything.

[HoopsDawg]

Damn it Rowdey. Swing at that shit on the first pitch.

[Bdawg]

Holy shit Rowdey!! First pitch???? Really?

[CadaverDawg]

What are you swinging at rowdey? I'd bunt after that shit

[maroonmania]

Should be 2-0

[ShotgunDawg]

Rowdy, what are you swinging at?

[HoopsDawg]

Dang, I guess Rowdey was going to swing at anything.

Rowdey should be 3-0.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Alright. Rowdey swings at ball 1. Time for rowdey to time one up.

[CadaverDawg]

Damn, Rowdey. Terrible at bat

[maroonmania]

Terrible AB by Rowdey. Lucky it only cost us one out. Now I wish he had bunted.

[MarketingBully]

Rowdy ****ed us that at bat. Why not let him pitch until he throws a strike?

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

They gave us one there. Have to make them pay.

[ShotgunDawg]

Another atrocious AB with a guy in scoring position

Butch is going soft in big situations with his pitch calls. We are playing right into it

[maroonmania]

Butch, go sit down. What a waste of time.

[ShotgunDawg]

Rowdy ****ed us that at bat. Why not let him pitch until he throws a strike?

Because our approach is a distaster

[Dental Dawg33]

We have got to generate some runs and get a clutch hit.

[HoopsDawg]

Another atrocious AB with a guy in scoring position

Butch is going soft in big situations with his pitch calls. We are playing right into it

We've got a couple of guys that swing at everything and Butch knows it.

[CadaverDawg]

Rowdy ****ed us that at bat. Why not let him pitch until he throws a strike?

100% should have taken until the new guy threw a strike

[msstate7]

It will be a low pitch, halter. He's trying to get a double play

[Mjoelner34]

Take a strike Halter!

[HoopsDawg]

Gunner, please don't swing until you get 2 strikes on you.

[maroonmania]

Can SOMEONE get a hit with a guy in scoring position?

[West Tn Dawg]

Don't help him Halter!!!!

[CadaverDawg]

Halter....shit....this won't end well

[Lord McBuckethead]

Come on Halter.

[Dental Dawg33]

Take until you get a strike halter.....

[West Tn Dawg]

We've got a couple of guys that swing at everything and Butch knows it.

Hell, everybody know's it! Even my dumbass!

[CadaverDawg]

TAKE until you get 3 strikes, Gunner

[maroonmania]

Dang, swung at ball 3.

[HoopsDawg]

Noooo!!!! that was ball 3.

[msstate7]

Wow

[MarketingBully]

Our approach is ass as ****. This is dumb. Anderson has only thrown one strike that we didn’t swing at.

[CadaverDawg]

Halter swings at ball 3. Take, you can't hit

[Lord McBuckethead]

He hasn't thrown a strike yet.

[Dental Dawg33]

HALTER

[msstate7]

No, no, yes! Haha

[Lord McBuckethead]

TAKE until you get 3 strikes, Gunner

Gunner, I have zero faith in him hitting anything.

[Liverpooldawg]

Y'all were saying about Halter?

[maroonmania]

Whew, looked like he went after ball 4 but it got through.

[Mjoelner34]

Wow! Ball 4. Rather be lucky than good.

[magrooder]

Wow. Halter with the rbi single. Let's go Gilbert.

[HoopsDawg]

thank your for the seeing eye grounder. that was another ball by the way.

[BulldogBear]

Can SOMEONE get a hit with a guy in scoring position?
Yes it seems!

[CadaverDawg]

It worked. Boom!

[ShotgunDawg]

Atta boy Gunner

[maroonmania]

Gilbert will never get a hit.*****

[Mjoelner34]

Take a strike Gilbert!

[magrooder]

PATIENCE at the PLATE, PLEASE Gilbert.

[CadaverDawg]

Gilbert, no chance. Marshall groundout Gilbert

[Lord McBuckethead]

Totally redeeming himself.

[RougeDawg]

Big hit. We will loosen up at the plate now.

[CadaverDawg]

This will be a double play

[Mjoelner34]

Good. If Gilbert doesn't screw up, here comes LH Jake.

[MarketingBully]

Bringing Greenhill in right now means all they want to do is beat us.

[HoopsDawg]

AU bringing in their closer.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Dude still hasn't thrown a clear strike.

[KOdawg1]

They're bringing their closer in. Maybe being in a situation he's not used to will throw him off

[Dental Dawg33]

Gilbert is about to mash one

[starkvegasdawg]

Glad that throw didn't go home.

[HoopsDawg]

Bringing Greenhill in right now means all they want to do is beat us.

yeah, I mean it's really just smart coaching.

[maroonmania]

Well, they beat us at the Dude after we had a 5-0 lead. Would love to return the favor on them after they get a 3-0 lead.

[BulldogBear]

Man, they are going to closer already. Make 'em sorry.

[ShotgunDawg]

Greenhill is good, but at least we get him early. Means they won't have him late

[Lord McBuckethead]

Gilbert due up for a line drive double.

[Bdawg]

Bringing Greenhill in right now means all they want to do is beat us.

What I was thinking

[maroonmania]

yeah, I mean it's really just smart coaching.

Exactly, whatever it takes to stay in the winner's bracket is what you do. Tomorrow will take care of itself.

[West Tn Dawg]

Lead the nation in doubles. Sure could use one now!

[Dawg2003]

Can't say I saw the plot twist where Halter got an RBI there.

[MarketingBully]

yeah, I mean it's really just smart coaching.

Not really. You don’t bring him in this early. If he gets in trouble who do you bring in then? It’s not smart.

[maroonmania]

Gilbert due up for a line drive double.

No, he will strike out.****

[Bdawg]

Please no DP Gilbert

[MarketingBully]

Exactly, whatever it takes to stay in the winner's bracket is what you do. Tomorrow will take care of itself.

Let’s say they do win this. Then they go 1-2. And then let’s say we get to him. Then you assure yourself of 0-2.

[CadaverDawg]

We are too aggressive in this park

[3rdGen]

Here we go!!! Gilbert is dialed in!

[CadaverDawg]

Gilbert will hit into a DP

[maroonmania]

Gilbert will hit into a DP

Maybe even a triple play.

[3rdGen]

Haha

[CadaverDawg]

No chance here. K

[msstate7]

Better than a ground ball

[maroonmania]

Dang, struck out even with my reverse jinx. Way under the ball.

[3rdGen]

That was a double play swing if I have ever seen one

[West Tn Dawg]

Gilbert will hit into a DP

Only half as bad! Damn it!!!!

[Bdawg]

Right down broadway.

[CadaverDawg]

Dammit Gilbert

[BulldogBear]

Jake, if you are ever going to do it tonight it's now.

[CadaverDawg]

Mangum isn't hitting shit these days...oh well, we got 1

[RocketDawg]

At least he's not swinging at balls. Being patient.

[magrooder]

Let's go Westy. A single ties it up, a double gives us the lead.

[Mjoelner34]

Great AB Jake! Take a strike Westy!

[RocketDawg]

Bases loaded. That HBP should shake the pitcher up.

[msstate7]

Power vs power

[Bdawg]

Come on westy!! Need you right here!!

[maroonmania]

Come on Westy! Even though I know you are going to strike out.

[BulldogBear]

Bases juiced. C'mon Westburg.

[CadaverDawg]

Juiced for Westburg. Groundout to Holland forthcoming

[maroonmania]

That was a very hittable ball there and Westy missed it.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Make him throw a strike.

[CadaverDawg]

Damn...missed his pitch

[MarketingBully]

Stayed up...

[magrooder]

Can't win like that.

[RocketDawg]

Thought he had a hit.

[West Tn Dawg]

Added to the village!!! Gosh damn!!!!!!

[msstate7]

Dang, good stroke westburg

[HoopsDawg]

how many runners have we stranded, at least 8?

[Liverpooldawg]

Just keep plugging. All you can do.

[Dental Dawg33]

Shiiiiiiiiitttttt hit it on the screws

[CadaverDawg]

Ballgame

[Bdawg]

We are snake bit on hard hit balls

[maroonmania]

As usual, just not going to be our night at the CWS. That ball goes in the gap and we are up by 1, instead still down by 2.

[starkvegasdawg]

We scored but we needed that last hit.

[CadaverDawg]

Out hitting them 7-3, and going to lose. Horseshit

[ATTILLA THE DOG]

just not our night,chance after chance and we cant get a big hit

[West Tn Dawg]

That very well may have been our last chance. Can't get the timely hit.

[KOdawg1]

This is just one of those games where we leave everyone on base. We rarely ever win those

[Lord McBuckethead]

Good at bat. We are going to get a hit with a RISP tonight.

[ShotgunDawg]

Completely unlucky tonight.

I hate baseball. Every other sport rewards you for dominating

This is ridiculous

[msstate7]

That was a very hittable ball there and Westy missed it.

Pitcher before was throwing mid-80s. Low 90s looks like 98 right now, probably

[West Tn Dawg]

One timely hit and we would be in it. Just can't connect!

[Scared_Hitless]

He crushed that ball too. We just need a timely hit

[MetEdDawg]

how many runners have we stranded, at least 8?

6 in the last 2 innings. 1 in the 1st and 2 in the 2nd so at least 9

[MarketingBully]

Ballgame

Meh. Greenhill will tire. He is not a 3 inning guy.

[KOdawg1]

That very well may have been our last chance. Can't get the timely hit.
Nah, we'll have another chance. We've had chances nearly every inning. We just have shit the bed in all of them.

[BayouDawg]

Left em loaded twice now. Nobody to blame but our bats if we lose tonight

[BuckyIsAB****]

Why God

[CJDAWG85]

We?ve left 10 on base.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Meh. Greenhill will tire. He is not a 3 inning guy.

They are going Burns if they need him. What are the odds Self goes back to back clean innings. Not high

[maroonmania]

Meh. Greenhill will tire. He is not a 3 inning guy.

Problem is we are running out of innings. Even if he goes another 2 we are in huge trouble.

[West Tn Dawg]

Nah, we'll have another chance. We've had chances nearly every inning. We just have shit the bed in all of them.

Hope you're right!

[msstate7]

Can't give up any more... no walks

[CadaverDawg]

What sucks the most is that AU has 1 guy in their lineup that can beat you, and we let him beat us.

[magrooder]

Makes that announcer sound like shit.

[maroonmania]

What sucks the most is that AU has 1 guy in their lineup that can beat you, and we let him beat us.

And that guy is batting a cool .251. Our biggest problem though is only scoring 1 run. Not going to win many with that.

[MarketingBully]

They are going Burns if they need him. What are the odds Self goes back to back clean innings. Not high

That is dumb as hell. They only had one goal to win a game. That is dumb as hell. So this shit team beats us because they fire all their bullets at us? Vandy will smoke them.

[HoopsDawg]

What sucks the most is that AU has 1 guy in their lineup that can beat you, and we let him beat us.

That's true. No guys hitting .300.

[MarketingBully]

What sucks the most is that AU has 1 guy in their lineup that can beat you, and we let him beat us.

They have 2 or 3 but that’s the point they only have a couple. Our lineup is full of dangerous hitters that continued shit approaches at the plate.

[HoopsDawg]

We?ve left 10 on base.

Brutal. Story of the game so far.

[BulldogBear]

O

M

G

[maroonmania]

Another run and this one is out of reach.

[KOdawg1]

Liebelt hasn't been the same since conference play

[ShotgunDawg]

Pretty much everything they put in play is a hit

[msstate7]

Oh boy

[CadaverDawg]

****ing Liebelt.

[West Tn Dawg]

Brutal. Story of the game so far.

^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^

[KOdawg1]

I'd bring in Colby White to get 2 Ks. Enough of trying to get ground balls.

[maroonmania]

Dang, get Gordon up. This is the ballgame here if we don't hold them.

[ShotgunDawg]

Liebelt hasn't been the same since conference play

Looks like we may have found our scared CWS player this year

[Mjoelner34]

Whew!

[maroonmania]

Nice, now let's get some runs dang it.

[KOdawg1]

Liebelt hasn't been the same since conference play
Nvm, nice job Liebs

[BulldogBear]

Good defense there. Had to have that.

[HoopsDawg]

Boy, Westy had really turned into a solid SS.

[CadaverDawg]

Who is Louisville's #2? Any chance we can beat him?

[msstate7]

Could've been a game saver

[KOdawg1]

Score some m17ing runs and quit ducking around with these dudes.

[KOdawg1]

Boy, Westy had really turned into a solid SS.
He has a really strong arm

[maroonmania]

Who is Louisville's #2? Any chance we can beat him?

Hate to say it, but if we lose tonight, I say its over. We would have to win 4 straight in a bracket that has Vandy and Louisville.

[RougeDawg]

[QUOTE=msstate7;1119088]Could've been a game saver[/QUOTE
This. Score a run and then a double play. Clear momentum swing. Have to score here and take advantage.

[MarketingBully]

Who is Louisville's #2? Any chance we can beat him?

If we can get our head out of our ass we can at least make the final four. The #2 for Louisville is much much worse then their ace. Vandy will eat Auburn up and we will beat the shit out of them for their 1-2 appearance.

[ShotgunDawg]

Can't wait to see how many balls we hit on the nose this inning that are caught.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Time for our 3-6 hitters to do something.

[ZedFedder]

This game is far from over. Have you guys not watched this team all year? Did you not watch the Sunday game against Auburn?

[magrooder]

I think I may have fixed the problem. I had the wrong dang t shirt on and didn't realize it until a few minutes ago.

[BulldogBear]

This game is far from over. Have you guys not watched this team all year? Did you not watch the Sunday game against Auburn?

1 on, no outs.

You're right but we've got to make it matter!

[KOdawg1]

I'm taking until it gets to 2 strikes. All he has is a fastball anyway, but he's wild rn

[CadaverDawg]

This game is far from over. Have you guys not watched this team all year? Did you not watch the Sunday game against Auburn?

It's over

[MarketingBully]

Hate to say it, but if we lose tonight, I say its over. We would have to win 4 straight in a bracket that has Vandy and Louisville.

We would beat Louisville with their #2 and then play a depleted Auburn by that time. The bad thing is we’d have to beat Vandy twice.

[Bdawg]

Alright Mac!!!

[BulldogBear]

I think I may have fixed the problem. I had the wrong dang t shirt on and didn't realize it until a few minutes ago.

Good because I thought I had somehow jinxed it by wearing my black msu T under my uni at work today.

[msstate7]

If burns is pitching with shoulder issue, he dumb AF

[KOdawg1]

I'm taking until it gets to 2 strikes. All he has is a fastball anyway, but he's wild rn
Don't listen to me. I'm a 17ing dipshit. Keep hitting the ball

[maroonmania]

We seem to be able to get hits until we get guys in position to score and then we can't.

[dantheman4248]

It's over

Go ahead run at the plate and we’ve got 9 outs to go through.

[maroonmania]

Well, our best deep threat is coming to bat as the go ahead run. Too bad he will strike out.***

[RougeDawg]

We seem to be able to get hits until we get guys in position to score and then we can't.

Difference in game is 2 out hits. That is where you win or lose at this stage.

[KOdawg1]

This game is far from over. Have you guys not watched this team all year? Did you not watch the Sunday game against Auburn?
It's definitely over. We suck, Auburn owns us, and we'll lose to Louisville Tuesday. It was a good season guys

[ShotgunDawg]

We are so much better against guys like Greenhill than soft tossing lefties.

[CadaverDawg]

Butch is counting on Trevor Fitts' brother coming in and getting a double play right here.

[CadaverDawg]

Go ahead run at the plate and we’ve got 9 outs to go through.

This double play ball will kill that

[MarketingBully]

Butch is counting on Trevor Fitts' brother coming in and getting a double play right here.

I’d let him throw until he throws a strike. He’s not good either.

[msstate7]

Butch is counting on Trevor Fitts' brother coming in and getting a double play right here.

Is this really Trevor's brother?

[Bdawg]

We would beat Louisville with their #2 and then play a depleted Auburn by that time. The bad thing is we’d have to beat Vandy twice.

We probably going to have to beat Vandy twice anyway. Our pitching situation may be screwed up though when we meet them

[msstate7]

Potential top 10 pick pushing it with a shoulder. I hate seeing that

[CadaverDawg]

Is this really Trevor's brother?

Ha, I have no clue. Doubt it

[MarketingBully]

Why did we swing at the first ****ing pitch.

[Mjoelner34]

First pitch. SMDH! That's 100% on Geauxtrea

[maroonmania]

Difference in game is 2 out hits. That is where you win or lose at this stage.

There it is. Ducks on the pond and we hit into a DP.

[ATTILLA THE DOG]

got to bunt right there

[CadaverDawg]

There's the double play. 1st pitch. Idiot at bat

[HoopsDawg]

so brutal. 1st pitch slider.

[BulldogBear]

Good grief.

PATIENCE for 17s sake

[Bdawg]

We are so stupid I just can't explain it.

[MarketingBully]

Ha, I have no clue. Doubt it

Yes he is.

[ShotgunDawg]

This is bullshit

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Why swing at first pitch?

[CadaverDawg]

That was game. Serious this time. My reverse jinx shit didn't work...we're beat

[msstate7]

so brutal. 1st pitch slider.

I'm! Swinging! No! Matter! What!

[ShotgunDawg]

Complete, over anxious, bullshit AB by Foscue

[BulldogBear]

If we get nothing out of this inning this game is soooooo over.

[maroonmania]

Just way too aggressive. The way we approach at the plate we have to earn everything. We won't allow the pitcher to help us.

[msstate7]

2-0 and threw it right by Skelton

[Bdawg]

Skelton misses good pitch to hit

[ShotgunDawg]

I'm! Swinging! No! Matter! What!

You're an easy out then because Auburn has gone soft in EVERY big situation tonight.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Can't bunt them over. We need two runs. Could have put them both in scoring position. Don't care who is up.

[dantheman4248]

the ****ing shift...

[MarketingBully]

I hate this team.

[CadaverDawg]

This over aggressive shit doesn't work in this park. ****ing bullshit to lose to Auburn's sorry asses.
