CWS Game 2 Winners Bracket vs Vandy Game Thread

[Dawgology]

Not there is anything wrong with it, but Vandy always has more minorities because they are free at Vandy. Martin here may go in the top 5 in next year's draft & he costs Vandy 0 scholarship money.

Dansby Swanson was also free

I’ve heard you guys mentioning Vandy’s baseball scholly advantage. What is that about?

[deadheaddawg]

No it's not. You either see skin (slider/offspeed) or all ball (fastball). I've hit 95 before off a guy with more than just a measly slider. he had a curve and change. was not difficult because I eliminated the offspeed and sat fastball. Then if you see any skin at release you do not swing. It really is that basic.

Bless your heart

Would love to know where you saw 95 MPH and thought it was easy. You Pete Rose? Because there isn't a single MLB hitter that would say it's easy to pick that up. So you are either the greatest all time or lying or trolling.

I'm going with trolling

[ScoobaDawg]

Plum at 79 pitches... foxhall out to talk . 1 on 1 out.

[msstate7]

Fat lady tuning up

Oh dear God. This is going to be posted on the main board so everyone can see you idiotic self.

[smootness]

Looks like Plumlee won't go more than 6. Rocker is at 59 pitches through 4 and I doubt they let him go close to his pitch count last time. I think around 100 and he'll be done. Hopefully we can get him there around 7.

Dang it.

[Dawgology]

That’s game.

[deadheaddawg]

He didn't. He is full of shit

[ScoobaDawg]

the #4 draft pick hammered that one to cf but not out. ... 2-0 dores.

[ShotgunDawg]

Damnit.

Why did we go 2-2 fastball?

WTF was that?

Who called that BS pitch. YOU DO NOT LET BLEDAY BEAT YOU. Damn damn dam

[Pollodawg]

That.....We didn’t need.

[ScoobaDawg]

Plums done. Barlow in. 1 out. runner at 2nd. 2-0 vandy top 5th.

[msstate7]

Looks like Plumlee won't go more than 6. Rocker is at 59 pitches through 4 and I doubt they let him go close to his pitch count last time. I think around 100 and he'll be done. Hopefully we can get him there around 7.

Dang it.
He threw 130 last time. Why pull him if he's cruising this time?

[mparkerfd20]

I need to start being negative, because this being positive ****ing sucks.

[Pollodawg]

It ain’t over, tho.

[ShotgunDawg]

Just a horseshit pitch call to Bleday there. Brutal pitch calling. Absolutely juvanile

[smootness]

Plumlee pitched well. Hard to say Ginn would have done any better.

And it won't matter if we can't get anything more off Rocker.

[deadheaddawg]

That’s game.

Yep.

I hope Lemonis is smart enough to forfeit and call the rest of the game. Save our arms for tomorrow. We will need them.

Congrats vandy. Hope to see you in 2 days

[starkvegasdawg]

He threw 130 last time. Why pull him if he's cruising this time?

He's not cruising. He's been living on the edge all game and already given up 2.

[MarketingBully]

Plumlee’s change wasn’t on today. Once we realized that, shouldn’t have gone to that pitch. Hit Martin on that pitch then Bledey hit a double off that pitch.

[smootness]

Yep.

I hope Lemonis is smart enough to forfeit and call the rest of the game. Save our arms for tomorrow. We will need them.

Congrats vandy. Hope to see you in 2 days

Please.

[ShotgunDawg]

Oh boy, I don't trust Barlow at all. He may walk the bases loaded

[msstate7]

He's not cruising. He's been living on the edge all game and already given up 2.

We not talking about same guy.

[magrooder]

He's not cruising. He's been living on the edge all game and already given up 2.

Think he's talking about Rocker not Plum

[MarketingBully]

Just a horseshit pitch call to Bleday there. Brutal pitch calling. Absolutely juvanile

Miller was hit by that same pitch.

[smootness]

He threw 130 last time. Why pull him if he's cruising this time?

He let him go 130 because he had a no-hitter. No way he would have done that under normal circumstances.

You let a freshman go 130 in back to back games and you won't get any stud pitchers anymore.

[ScoobaDawg]

1st pitch by barlow knocked into short lf... runners on the corners.

[ShotgunDawg]

I don't understand going to Barlow. He stinks

[magrooder]

He let him go 130 because he had a no-hitter. No way he would have done that under normal circumstances.

You let a freshman go 130 in back to back games and you won't get any stud pitchers anymore.

Unless you can give them a full scholarship

[MarketingBully]

We need a short leash with Barlow. He scared as hell.

[msstate7]

It's a small miracle that this isn't 6-7 to 0. Our luck seems to be running out

[msstate7]

I don't understand going to Barlow. He stinks

Bc we know we beat

[MarketingBully]

Go to Leibelt.

[ShotgunDawg]

We need a short leash with Barlow. He scared as hell.

He always is. I don't get this at all

[Dawgology]

Yep.

I hope Lemonis is smart enough to forfeit and call the rest of the game. Save our arms for tomorrow. We will need them.

Congrats vandy. Hope to see you in 2 days

I absolutely hope I’m wrong but they are hitting Plum and his relief won’t be better. We aren’t hitting Rocker and we aren’t working his pitch count. It’s a numbers game. We could pull off a miracle home run though to win it I guess.

[ScoobaDawg]

so much for ejecting the whistler.

[ShotgunDawg]

Foxhall has gone brain dead since that 2-2 pitch to Bleday

[msstate7]

Self in... lemonis knows we beat

[ScoobaDawg]

and now bases loaded after 4 straight balls... Barlows out. self is in

[RocketDawg]

Oh boy, I don't trust Barlow at all. He may walk the bases loaded

Called it.

[mparkerfd20]

Terrible decision to go Barlow there too. Who the frick is making our pitching calls today?

[Pollodawg]

If we get out of this with them only getting one this inning, it’ll be a miracle.

[MarketingBully]

No one is making it out after this game whether we lose or Vandy loses. Fire your biggest bullets now like you don’t have a tomorrow because we don’t.

[mparkerfd20]

This is coaching so far.

[BuckyIsAB****]

We look scared to death of vanderbilt.

[smootness]

Good outing, Barlow.

[MetEdDawg]

Barlow was in for lefty on lefty. Didn't think that was a difficult concept

Unfortunate part is Barlow isn't good at pitching

[ShotgunDawg]

Absolutely brutal job by our coaching staff since going 2-2 vs Bleday. Awful.

They call a fastball

Then they go do scared lefty who's been scared all year & doesn't throw strikes. Simply delusional decision making

[Dawgology]

Self in... lemonis knows we beat

Be careful there! ED elite baseball knowledge squad is gonna hunt you down lmao!

[ShotgunDawg]

Barlow was in for lefty on lefty. Didn't think that was a difficult concept

Barlow doesn't throw strikes. So it's irrelevant which hand he throws with

[Percho]

O ye of 0 faith!

[MarketingBully]

Terrible decision to go Barlow there too. Who the frick is making our pitching calls today?

Go Leibelt/Gordon. The loser is not going to last long. No way the loser wins 3 games in 3 days.

[Lord McBuckethead]

I hope I am wrong, but I feel a base clearing double right here.
Self could get a couple pop ups that we may catch. Hopefully. Come on Dawgs.

[MetEdDawg]

Absolutely brutal job by our coaching staff since going 2-2 vs Bleday. Awful.

Then they go do scared lefty who's been scared all year & doesn't throw strikes. Simply delusional decision making

Who do you go with? Leibelt and lose him for tomorrow? We've got almost 5 innings to piece together. Gonna need Barlow to step up at some point.

[ShotgunDawg]

Who do you go with? Leibelt and lose him for tomorrow? We've got almost 5 innings to piece together. Gonna need Barlow to step up at some point.

Someone that throws strikes

[starkvegasdawg]

What the hell brain fart was that?

[preachermatt83]

What is tanner doing?!? That’s little league crap

[magrooder]

Why play up in the infield if you aren't going to throw to home?? SHIT

[MarketingBully]

Tanner Allen just killed us.

[Pollodawg]

I feel like we prolly done.

[RocketDawg]

Major mental error there.

[NCDawg]

Stupid move by Allen. The play was to home.

[ShotgunDawg]

Damn Allen. WTF?

[Doggie_Style]

Who do you go with? Leibelt and lose him for tomorrow? We've got almost 5 innings to piece together. Gonna need Barlow to step up at some point.

Barlow looked terrible....maybe Self can get a double play ball

[msstate7]

Tanner Allen just killed us.

Nah, rocker killed us

[preachermatt83]

Well this is just wonderful

[MarketingBully]

Yep, and that’s why Tanner Allen just ****ed us up the ass.

[ScoobaDawg]

Tanner tanner tannerrrr...bad bad bad ... should have come home.. runner scores and we only get 1 out. 3-0 vandy

[Marvin]

Woo hoo Riley Self!!!

[Pollodawg]

Yup.....

[wasabaka]

Ballgame

[starkvegasdawg]

And off goes the tv.

[smootness]

Just atrocious by Allen there.

[ShotgunDawg]

Completely brain dead performance here. Brutal

[MetEdDawg]

Riley self in this game for damage control because it's over. Then gives up a 3 run tater. Not good

[MarketingBully]

Nah, rocker killed us

We could have come back easy from 2-0 but 6-0 nope.

[RocketDawg]

I hope I am wrong, but I feel a base clearing double right here.
Self could get a couple pop ups that we may catch. Hopefully. Come on Dawgs.

You were wrong. It was a base clearing home run.

[smootness]

Aaaaaaaand definitely ballgame now.

[ScoobaDawg]

and now its over... 6-0 on a 3 run bomb

[mparkerfd20]

Wow. We gave up putting Self in. 17 you Lemon

[magrooder]

I really freakin really dislike Vanderbilt.

[Doggie_Style]

ballgame

[preachermatt83]

Congrats tanner... u cost us the game.

[bobtail bob]

The dam just busted

[ShotgunDawg]

We beat Auburn with luck but the immaturity by this team in this tournament has been appalling.

We look terribly coached in this tournament. I know we aren't but the mental mistakes have been brutal

[Marvin]

Dumb ****ing coaching. Dumb ****ing fielding.

[KOdawg1]

Vandy is just better than us.

They have better hitters who actually have an approach up there. And they have the better pitcher today.

[ShotgunDawg]

Congrats tanner... u cost us the game.

The immaturity of this team has been atrocious in this tournament thus far

[msstate7]

Remember this board saying vandy was only sec champs bc of unequal scheduling? Ha, they much better

[Lord McBuckethead]

And there it is. Hey I have a great 17n idea. Let's throw another mid thigh, 88 mph pitch to that guy.

[smootness]

I really freakin really dislike Vanderbilt.

Me, too.

We are an extremely good college baseball team.

They are a pro team. It is so stupid.

[BayouDawg]

Just wow. Elementary mistake

[ShotgunDawg]

Vandy is just better than us.

They have better hitters who actually have an approach up there. And they have the better pitcher today.

They are certainly more talented, but that doesn't change the fact that we have played extremely poor baseball mentally

[Marvin]

We don’t have the talent on the mound to win a CWS

[Lord McBuckethead]

Remember this board saying vandy was only sec champs bc of unequal scheduling? Ha, they much better

They are not much better. Allen 17ed up. Then we put it on a tee.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

You have to know anything on the corners you come to the plate....

[msstate7]

We could have come back easy from 2-0 but 6-0 nope.

We haven't scored on them in 13 innings.

[ShotgunDawg]

Me, too.

We are an extremely good college baseball team.

They are a pro team. It is so stupid.

Need based scholarships without making athletes meet the normal student requirements to get into the school is a disaster for this sport

[ScoobaDawg]

go get him already damnit.

[deadheaddawg]

So who do we go after for our new coach? Take another shot at Dan McDonnell

[Lord McBuckethead]

Way to follow it up with a walk on a guy that hasn't sniffed the panties of hitting hte ball.

[Cooterpoot]

Nobody is going to beat Vandy. They’re better than everyone by a lot. Just no weakness. But we doubled up on scholarship money we could do it too.

[msugolf]

Vandy is just better than us.

They have better hitters who actually have an approach up there. And they have the better pitcher today.

They also have a solid steroid program

[Dawg2003]

I think that we will always look back and wonder how this season would have gone if Ginn could have pitched well down the stretch.

[smootness]

They are not much better. Allen 17ed up. Then we put it on a tee.

They are much better. Austin Martin has taken his game to another level and so has Rocker, and now they are stupid good.

[ZedFedder]

Very unlikely we win... but it isn’t over.

[KOdawg1]

Colby White should've been the one to come in in the first place. Self was a white flag

[msstate7]

go get him already damnit.

Hell no.... use him till he can't no more. We have to save pitching

[BayouDawg]

We don’t have the talent on the mound to win a CWS

Our stellar offense though...

[ShotgunDawg]

I guess Self got his feeling hurt

[RocketDawg]

Need based scholarships without making athletes meet the normal student requirements to get into the school is a disaster for this sport

I agree with that.

[gravedigger]

Hell no.... use him till he can't no more. We have to save pitching

Having a hard time understanding how he can only throw 1 strike out of the next 8 after serving up meat

[preachermatt83]

This bullpen performance has been a joke

[KOdawg1]

Lemonis is pissed

[MarketingBully]

We don’t have the talent on the mound to win a CWS

Well the fact that we have a first round pick who we didn’t ****ing pitch for a senior who has been somewhat consistent but still was no match for this lineup tells you everything you need to know. We have two starting pitchers who are both more talented then anything Vandy has and yet we don’t pitch Ginn today.

[ShotgunDawg]

Our stellar offense though...

We just aren't talented enough.

We've got too many SRs starting & in college baseball, that's a bad thing.

There is a reason many of these SRs weren't drafted as JRs or didn't get the money they wanted.

[BuckyIsAB****]

We are too worried about Vandy and not worried enough about the details. We are getting punked by the university of vanderbilt. Mental mistake by Allen and mental mistake by Self. Not a lot of toughness. Doesnt have much to do with Vandy has a lot to do with us. Didnt play great against the worst team in the bracket either

[timotheus]

better save some gas for thursday boys. this un ain't lookin too nice

[Lord McBuckethead]

Way to follow that up with another walk on a pitch 3 feet outside. Man, we need something to happen.

[msstate7]

We shouldn't even be playing vandy. We needed luck to beat auburn

[RocketDawg]

Vanderbilt in baseball is like Alabama in football ... we're intimidated by them.

[ShotgunDawg]

Just an abortion by the middle relievers in our bullpen. Simply non-competitive

[Lord McBuckethead]

We are too worried about Vandy and not worried enough about the details. We are getting punked by the university of vanderbilt. Mental mistake by Allen and mental mistake by Self. Not a lot of toughness. Doesnt have much to do with Vandy has a lot to do with us. Didnt play great against the worst team in the bracket either

Agreed. It has more to do with us than them.

[timotheus]

Having a hard time understanding how he can only throw 1 strike out of the next 8 after serving up meat

he's been a risk each time he has thrown this season. mental deal today on a big stage

[magrooder]

They also have a solid steroid program

You are probably not wrong.

[ScoobaDawg]

Self is out. White is in.

[BuckyIsAB****]

We just aren't talented enough.

We've got too many SRs starting & in college baseball, that's a bad thing.

There is a reason many of these SRs weren't drafted as JRs or didn't get the money they wanted.

I dont agree at all. This hasnt been the case all year long. But now it is. We have won 50 something games too, we have a 2 1st round draft picks, another one in the top 5. We are just getting punked mentally. If they are more talented than us its not by enough to beat us by 6 runs

[Marvin]

Lemonis is pissed

His fatass put Riley Self in the most critical part of the game. Not White, not Liebelt...

[BuckyIsAB****]

We just aren't talented enough.

We've got too many SRs starting & in college baseball, that's a bad thing.

[ShotgunDawg]

Vanderbilt in baseball is like Alabama in football ... we're intimidated by them.

We did beat them in a Super regional at their place last year.

Truthfully, they are just better. They are far more talented 1-9 in their lineup & their pitching staff is significantly deeper

[Political Hack]

Assuming this continues, I hope they spot the relief guys and don't burn them out. We'll need them for 2 more now...

[Bothrops]

They have the pitching and they have power.

[BayouDawg]

Well the fact that we have a first round pick who we didn’t ****ing pitch for a senior who has been somewhat consistent but still was no match for this lineup tells you everything you need to know. We have two starting pitchers who are both more talented then anything Vandy has and yet we don’t pitch Ginn today.

Vandy lefties would have eaten Ginn alive just like LSU lefties did twice

[Lord McBuckethead]

Vanderbilt in baseball is like Alabama in football ... we're intimidated by them.

Bullshit. This team has beat them 3 of the last 4 times we played them. The player leadership needs to get the team huddled up here and tell them that shit is over. Time to man up.

[MarketingBully]

We shouldn't even be playing vandy. We needed luck to beat auburn

This team has shit their pants since coming to Omaha. It’s more then disappointing. It’s downright shitty.

[ShotgunDawg]

I dont agree at all. This hasnt been the case all year long. But now it is. We have won 50 something games too, we have a 2 1st round draft picks, another one in the top 5. We are just getting punked mentally. If they are more talented than us its not by enough to beat us by 6 runs

Vandy is far more talented

[deadheaddawg]

Vanderbilt in baseball is like Alabama in football ... we're intimidated by them.

Yep. Just look at how they beat the shit out of us in the Supers last year. It was at their place, but still. We just looked shell shocked the whole Super

[Marvin]

Vanderbilt in baseball is like Alabama in football ... we're intimidated by them.


At least in football we both get 25 spots a year.

[CadaverDawg]

Riley Self. What have I been saying for 2 months? Pitch that guy in Omaha and it will burn us...it did.

Sorry about the game thread guys.

Bummer of a game. Sucks to likely be in the losers bracket with an uphill battle ahead of us, and instead of having our best arms on the mound vs the best team in it, we lost it pitching two of our worst bullpen arms. So hard to swallow.

[MarketingBully]

Vandy lefties would have eaten Ginn alive just like LSU lefties did twice

Ginn has a better fastball and slider then Rocker does.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Vandy lefties would have eaten Ginn alive just like LSU lefties did twice

Also agree on that one.

[ShotgunDawg]

This team has shit their pants since coming to Omaha. It’s more then disappointing. It’s downright shitty.

They haven't played well at all.

For all the experience we brought to Omaha, we've played exactly the opposite. Guess we'll never win a natty. It's just not in the cards

[BuckyIsAB****]

Vanderbilt in baseball is like Alabama in football ... we're intimidated by them.

It def looks that way today. That hasnt been the case lately but it def smells like we pissed ourselves today. This same team basically went in there and battled them tooth and nail to a series W, now we are getting bitched out

[KOdawg1]

His fatass put Riley Self in the most critical part of the game. Not White, not Liebelt...

I don't get this by you dipshits. Ya'll did the same shit with Moorhead. Stop using our coaches weight as ammo when you're mad. It makes you look like a piece of shit

[Doggie_Style]

but hey guys.....zero runs never beat anybody.

[Political Hack]

Wow. This is becoming laughable with our pen. What is going on?

[gravedigger]

We shouldn't even be playing vandy. We needed luck to beat auburn

I feel bad for you man. The world just isnt that bad. Vandy is playing well. We rallied the other night and deserved to win the game. We hit the ball very well.

Buck up. The outcome of this game doesnt end our season. Nor does it allow us to raise the trophy.

[MarketingBully]

Riley Self. What have I been saying for 2 months? Pitch that guy in Omaha and it will burn us...it did.

Sorry about the game thread guys.

Bummer of a game. Sucks to be in the losers bracket with an uphill battle ahead of us, and instead of having our best arms on the mound vs the best team in it, we lost it pitching two of our worst bullpen arms. So hard to swallow.

What sucks worse is we lose a lot next year. This was our best shot to win a Natty and we shit ourselves.

[ScoobaDawg]

Whites first pitch is over the batter... and runners move up into scoring position.. great

[West Tn Dawg]

Lemonis is BRILLIANT!!!!! He is going to let Vandy blow us out in this game and then they will be over confident when we come back and we'll beat them twice!!!!
Got to be his plan, no other explanation!

[ShotgunDawg]

Ginn has a better fastball and slider then Rocker does.

I don't disagree but Rocker has been locating significantly better lately

[CJDAWG85]

Our bats have been complete shit since coming to Omaha, but Allen’s bonehead miscue may have been the dagger.

[BayouDawg]

Ginn has a better fastball and slider then Rocker does.

I dunno about that one. Kumar making our guys look like slow pitch softball players

[Cooterpoot]

Vandy has more talent than us. And everybody else too.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Wish we would have saved Self then.

[Dawg2003]

How much of this is a function of their star freshman pitcher getting better as the year went on and ours getting worse?

[ShotgunDawg]

What sucks worse is we lose a lot next year. This was our best shot to win a Natty and we shit ourselves.

Our best chance to win a natty was 2013 with 8 MLB players on the team & will be again when Lemo builds a more talented roster that doesn't have so many SRs starting

[preachermatt83]

Don’t waste white on this crap game.

[Really Clark?]

Learn Baseball? lolololololol

If he's sitting dead red fastball, there's no way he swings at that slider. Slider spin is the easiest to see and quickest to pickup. You need to get a little league book and start from there.

let me add that even if he thinks that pitch is a FB, it was going to be at the knees or lower based on the release point.

No. Just no. Slider spin is not the easiest to read.

[ShotgunDawg]

How much of this is a function of their star freshman pitcher getting better as the year went on and ours getting worse?

We haven't scored on them in 13 innings. So at-best it's 0-0 right now

[BB30]

We just aren't talented enough.

We've got too many SRs starting & in college baseball, that's a bad thing.

There is a reason many of these SRs weren't drafted as JRs or didn't get the money they wanted.

True but in their defense, Rocker has future #1 or #2 starter type stuff in the big leagues. Runs weren’t going to come easy today.

[Dawg2003]

Our bats have been complete shit since coming to Omaha, but Allen’s bonehead miscue may have been the dagger.

We struggle away from Dudy Noble. For all the talk about Arkansas and Vanderbilt being different teams away from home, we definitely are.

[Marvin]

Colby white looked pretty good there. God damn Riley ****ing self. What thought process went into that one.

[ShotgunDawg]

True but in their defense, Rocker has future #1 or #2 starter type stuff in the big leagues. Runs weren’t going to come easy today.

agree, but we aren't talented enough to hit him

[deadheaddawg]

I say lets focus on Softball. Those girls would kill it with the new dude

[Doggie_Style]

Whites first pitch is over the batter... and runners move up into scoring position.. great

I would have put White in first

[KOdawg1]

Don’t waste white on this crap game.

I wouldn't send him out there next inning. Save him, Gordon, and Liebelt for the next few games bc they're the only pitchers we have who are tough enough to handle the situation

[Dawg2003]

We haven't scored on them in 13 innings. So at-best it's 0-0 right now


True. Gotta score runs.

[MarketingBully]

Our best chance to win a natty was 2013 with 8 MLB players on the team & will be again when Lemo builds a more talented roster that doesn't have so many SRs starting

Yeah, I have no doubt Lem will build us back up but this performance by our team is downright maddening.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Our bats have been complete shit since coming to Omaha, but Allen’s bonehead miscue may have been the dagger.

Our bats have been average at best away from home. Probably below that. Last time we hit it well away from Stark was the OM series

[ShotgunDawg]

Colby white looked pretty good there. God damn Riley ****ing self. What thought process went into that one.

Of course he did. It's was our coaching staff being brain dead to not bring him in when they brought in Barlow.

17ing Barlow can't throw strikes at home. You think he's going to throw strikes in Omaha?

[Marvin]

I hate Tim Corbin

[deadheaddawg]

I hate Tim Corbin

But his is so thin

[BayouDawg]

Colby white looked pretty good there. God damn Riley ****ing self. What thought process went into that one.

In Rileys defense he drew a ground ball that should have been an inning ending DP but TA had other ideas.

[Scared_Hitless]

Kumar is going to go 9 suck it up and get ready for tomorrow

[MoreCowbell]

What sucks worse is we lose a lot next year. This was our best shot to win a Natty and we shit ourselves.

We actually return a good nucleus next year.

[smootness]

Vandy will win it all.

...congrats, I guess?

When you have this much talent, not winning it would be a huge failure.

[ShotgunDawg]

Players for us that would start & pitch for Vandy

Mangum
Westburg
Foscue
Small
Ginn
White
Gordon
maybe... Skelton
That's it. The rest of our team doesn't play for them

[West Tn Dawg]

Yeah, I have no doubt Lem will build us back up but this performance by our team is downright maddening.

Respectfully disagree. I have no faith in Lemonis. Hope I'm wrong but I think we have seen the best as long as Lemonis sits on that damn bucket.

[Cloak]

Haven't bitched in a game thread in a while, but bringing in Self was unexplainable. He has not shown a thread of anything positive. Barlow was the right call, just couldn't find the strike zone. Bringing in Self is inexcusable

[ScoobaDawg]

Gilbert with the base hit... good job. Gotta get a run on the board to start believing. 68 pitches on rocker.

[ShotgunDawg]

Vandy will win it all.

...congrats, I guess?

When you have this much talent, not winning it would be a huge failure.

It's a huge issue in college baseball & one that I'm extremely confused why it hasn't been addressed.

It's really embarrassing that they only have 1 Natty

[KOdawg1]

Let's see if we can get Rocker out of the game. I know they have plenty of bullpen arms, but let's just see if we could get something going

[ShotgunDawg]

Players for us that would start & pitch for Vandy

Mangum
Westburg
Foscue
Small
Ginn
White
Gordon
maybe... Skelton
That's it. The rest of our team doesn't play for them

Take that back. Skelton doesn't play for them. Clark is way better

[deadheaddawg]

Respectfully disagree. I have no faith in Lemonis. Hope I'm wrong but I think we have seen the best as long as Lemonis sits on that damn bucket.

Absolutely. Lemonis has been trash all year. A damn monkey could have broken the record for the most wins by a 1st year SEC coach with this team.

[ScoobaDawg]

Magnum with a base hit!!! hits it right at 1bman and jake legs out the single.

2 on. 72 pitches. vandy pitching coach out to talk.

[MarketingBully]

2-0 would have been big....Allen needs to makeup for his big ****up.

[Marvin]

Vandy will win it all.

...congrats, I guess?.

Exactly. It’s like those boys running in girls track events. Woo-hoo you guys are so awesome....

Scholarship asterisk on their titles.

[TNDawg35]

Your a damn moron! Plain and simple.

[ShotgunDawg]

Sure would be nice to see Vandy have a complete meltdown

[ShotgunDawg]

Chase a first pitch in the dirt

[Saltydog]

Truth is, Riley Self post injury is just not good enough to consistently get people out at this level! He?s a one trick pony!

[KOdawg1]

Allen you could make up for your dipshit error with a bomb here

[ScoobaDawg]

damnit... got up high on the hands... pop up to 2b. 2 away. BADLY need a base hit from tanner here.

[msstate7]

Vandy has only one 1 title. Declaring them the winner for beating us seems premature. We always choke, every sport

[ShotgunDawg]

Another terrible AB with a guy in scoring position

[Cloak]

Truth is, Riley Self post injury is just not good enough to consistently get people out at this level! He?s a one trick pony!

Bringing in Self will be what costs us this game. Lemon of a decision

[magrooder]

SMH

[MarketingBully]

....

[KOdawg1]

I'm not even surprised anymore. I expect us to squander opportunities

[West Tn Dawg]

Your a damn moron! Plain and simple.

Why because you have difference of opinion? Your the damn immature idiot!! You disagree? Fine. Pissed at the team and you don't want to get all negative and shit, so you turn on me. 17 you!

[Lord McBuckethead]

We are getting to him. Keep it up. I hope Mangum is talking shit aidjkfasdlk;jasdf;l'kasdfl;kasjdf;klasjdf;klas;dkl fasjd;f line out. mother 17er.

[ShotgunDawg]

This is ridiculous

They just happen to have a guy playing short RF

[Saltydog]

I?m here and when I saw it, I cringed!

[MarketingBully]

Another terrible AB with a guy in scoring position

For a guy who you were saying was going to have a day, Allen hasn’t done shit and worse hes killed us in the field.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Allen you could make up for your dipshit error with a bomb here

He could have. But he hit a bitch ass shot into the shit.

[ShotgunDawg]

It's over. This team just isn't good enough. Just like the 10 before them

[magrooder]

OH good. Keegan James is in.

[ShotgunDawg]

For a guy who you were saying was going to have a day, Allen hasn’t done shit and worse hes killed us in the field.

I'm surprised. Rocker is a good match up for him. He hasn't taken advantage

[Cloak]

LOL and we take Colby out. Wtf is lemon doing

[KOdawg1]

Why because you have difference of opinion? Your the damn immature idiot!! You disagree? Fine. Pissed at the team and you don't want to get all negative and shit, so you turn on me. 17 you!

Your comments are stupid. It's year one. He did what he was supposed to do. Saying Lemonis isn't the guy in his first year in which he gets us to Omaha is just silly.

[ShotgunDawg]

OH good. Keegan James is in.

Oh good lord. Just put Cerantola in. He could use the experience

[ScoobaDawg]

That was Jake's 107th hit of the season. which ties Adam Frazier for the single season record.

[Lord McBuckethead]

We can get it. Just need to get a few hits when we have runners in scoring position.

James needs to carry us to the 9th.

[Cloak]

Lemon is conceding. Saving Colby

[KOdawg1]

LOL and we take Colby out. Wtf is lemon doing

Giving us a chance in the last 3 games

[BuckyIsAB****]

It's over. This team just isn't good enough. Just like the 10 before them

We get it man we suck now

[ShotgunDawg]

LOL and we take Colby out. Wtf is lemon doing

Saving Colby for other games.

The biggest mistake is putting Barlow instead of Colby

[ScoobaDawg]

LOL and we take Colby out. Wtf is lemon doing
Saving him for tomorrow.... since we didnt score..

[ScoobaDawg]

Jake couldnt get there and Bleday has 3 hits on the day now

[ShotgunDawg]

Vandy is super good, but having Larry Walker in their 2 hole makes them pretty ridiculous

[mparkerfd20]

Vandy should never lose another championship with their unfair advantage and all the talent.

[Dawgology]

I would like to score on Vandy this season.

[msstate7]

Lemon is conceding. Saving Colby

Smart

[KOdawg1]

Shit maybe we should've brought Keegan in. They're teeing off on him, but it's right at people

[magrooder]

Good thing they hit right at our outfielders. They were drilling the ball for long, hard hit, outs.

[ScoobaDawg]

NICE double play!!!! to the btm of 6th we go.

[ShotgunDawg]

Vandy should never lose another championship with their unfair advantage and all the talent.

Stanford & I believe Duke have the same scholarship rule, but Vandy allows athletes to get into school without meeting the normal student standards while Stanford & Duke do not.

[deadheaddawg]

Can we turn the New Dude into a soccer stadium? We would dominate SEC soccer with a 15k stadium

[West Tn Dawg]

Your comments are stupid. It's year one. He did what he was supposed to do. Saying Lemonis isn't the guy in his first year in which he gets us to Omaha is just silly.

Like I said, I hope I'm wrong, but I watched him at Indiana before I knew he was coming here. Just because I have a different opinion, doesn't justify that name calling shit. I told the original poster I respected his opinion. Don't really need yall jumping in with the immature shit. I won't call yall morons and shit, just because you disagree. Please carry on!

[Lord McBuckethead]

We need 4 this inning. Nothing but 6 hits in a row. Lets get it.

[msstate7]

So ginn tomorrow? Smith if we face vandy again?

[ShotgunDawg]

Nice to see Keegan not melt down

[KOdawg1]

Like I said, I hope I'm wrong, but I watched him at Indiana before I knew he was coming here. Just because I have a different opinion, doesn't justify that name calling shit. I told the original poster I respected his opinion. Don't really need yall jumping in with the immature shit. I won't call yall morons and shit, just because you disagree. Please carry on!

You most likely are wrong. And if you can't handle people jumping on you for stupid comments, don't make stupid comments

[CJDAWG85]

How many have we stranded so far?

[magrooder]

Stanford & I believe Duke have the same scholarship rule, but Vandy allows athletes to get into school without meeting the normal student standards while Stanford & Duke do not.

If the other students that receive those schollies aren't allowed the same standards that should be a violation. Not saying it is, but it should be.

[Lord McBuckethead]

So they go out, mid inning and fix the 17n mound for their starter?

[ShotgunDawg]

So ginn tomorrow? Smith if we face vandy again?

I guess so. That's scary, but it's what we got. If we can find a way to get to Saturday, then you may get Small again

[Lord McBuckethead]

How many have we stranded so far?

I think around 7. 4 in scoring position, if I recall correctly.
Not scoring the game.

[KOdawg1]

So ginn tomorrow? Smith if we face vandy again?

Would Small be available for game 1 vs. Vandy? I think Smith and Small are who we'd pitch against Vandy, but I'd go with Small first if you could, bc 1 you have to advance as far as you can

[msstate7]

I guess so. That's scary, but it's what we got. If we can find a way to get to Saturday, then you may get Small again

Rain! Please rain lol

[KOdawg1]

Of course it's not gone

[Bass Chaser]

What has the heart of our lineup done this postseason?

[ScoobaDawg]

Mac with a hit off rocker .. lead off hitter on.. lets go.

[West Tn Dawg]

You most likely are wrong. And if you can't handle people jumping on you for stupid comments, don't make stupid comments

Man, 17 you. You are way to immature to hold a civilized conversation.

Hail State!

[deadheaddawg]

My sources told me that Cohen never even watched him at Indiana. Cohen doesn't even understand baseball, and he hires a guy in lemonis who clearly did a terrible job at Indiana. Really wish you would leave your were our AD. We need people in this program that care and understand baseball

[ScoobaDawg]

shit fosc hit it 374 feet.. right in front of the wall

[ShotgunDawg]

Would Small be available for game vs. Vandy? I think Smith and Small are who we'd pitch against Vandy, but I'd go with Small first if you could, bc 1 you have to advance as far as you can

Holy 17. How did that not leave the yard?

[KOdawg1]

Man, 17 you. You are way to immature to hold a civilized conversation.

Hail State!

Haha, the one who says "17 you" for disagreeing with your overreaction calls me immature. You've got to be a 13 year old kid. Got to be
