Geenies game 3

[parabrave]

Going to the bottom of the 1st. Answer to the main question is there are only a few pop up showers to the west and NW.

[BeardoMSU]

That was crushed, lol.

[Homedawg]

That was crushed, lol.

Understatement! Wow.

[Cowbell]

Understatement! Wow.

Who hit it? I've been in church

[parabrave]

Understatement! Wow.

Jum said it was the longest HR he has ever seen in Dudy. And great appeal on the runner leaving early/

[parabrave]

Who hit it? I've been in church

Englehard.

[parabrave]

Throw him out. That tulane coach is a hot head.

[Cowbell]

Englehard.

Thanks man

[TNDawg35]

What is with all they chippyness and crap with Tulane? They said something about the coaches got into it before the first game or something?

[Cowbell]

This is what I heard as well but not sure what about.

[parabrave]

Good patient ab Rowdy. Dub moves them over Legget on 3rd Rowdy on 2nd. Need a big hit from Tanner.

[BeardoMSU]

Tanner strikes out on ball 4...strand runners at 2nd and 3rd.

[Activated Alpha]

Good patient ab Rowdy. Dub moves them over Legget on 3rd Rowdy on 2nd. Need a big hit from Tanner.

Tanner striking out on ball 4. Our approach in this series has been bad. Really wishing Leggets hit would have been a home run or cumbest had singled. Would have scored one at least

[SaintDawg]

Guess we gotta wait till the 9th to get some runs again.

[Saltydog]

Wind blowing out to RF but we have so many lefties in the lineup not sure we can take advantage of it.

[BeardoMSU]

First pitch bomb to start the 4th, lol.

Jeez, we can't let these chippy bitches beat us.

[Homedawg]

Wind blowing out to RF but we have so many lefties in the lineup not sure we can take advantage of it.

You mean blowing out to LF

[parabrave]

Koestler in for Fristoe.

[SaintDawg]

0-8 with RISP, I believe?

[trob115]

Our offense is putrid

[BeardoMSU]

Our offense is putrid

Just wait until the 9th...it's gonna be lit (probably).**

[parabrave]

Well that doesn't help.

[parabrave]

Now it's time for Rowdy to jack one. Jim said the Perimeter OFs are playing up with the CF playing deep. Hopefully he can get one to the fence.

[Saltydog]

Is there a word that's worse than "putrid"? Whatever it is would be appropriate.

[trob115]

1-3 in our lineup haven't even been competitive today.

[KOdawg1]

It's sad that we get a guy on base, and I immediately start thinking of ways we'll screw it up. Leadoff man gets on for the third time in 5 innings and we do nothing with it.

[mparkerfd20]

We could use an improvement at hitting coach for sure.

[Saltydog]

There's a reason TA wasn't drafted. He just cannot hit left handed pitching. He's not even close.

[Homedawg]

We could use an improvement at hitting coach for sure.

Smdh.....

[TNDawg35]

Once again I’ll ask, who is coaching the hitting? I know Lemonis was his own hitting coach at Indiana. Whoever is doing it now needs to step back and let the other do it..

[KOdawg1]

There's a reason TA wasn't drafted. He just cannot hit left handed pitching. He's not even close.

He's trying to pull everything. He's not even taking competitive swings.

[parabrave]

Well one of the announcers keeps talking about the lack of Bunting.

[Saltydog]

Yeah well our approach at the plate hasn't been good but it's not the coaching. We just don't have the hosses this year. Simple as that. I will say it's worse than I expected though.

[Activated Alpha]

Yeah well our approach at the plate hasn't been good but it's not the coaching. We just don't have the hosses this year. Simple as that. I will say it's worse than I expected though.

Yup. It?s horrible

[Cowbell]

This is a terrible take

[Cowbell]

Well one of the announcers keeps talking about the lack of Bunting.
That's why they are an announcer instead of a hitting coach

[Homedawg]

There's a reason TA wasn't drafted. He just cannot hit left handed pitching. He's not even close.

He and Hatcher have had non competitive at bats so far for sure.... long way to go. Thank goodness

[Cowbell]

Some of you guys need to be patient. We have 5 guys that can go yard any at bat. We have the best bottom part of the lineup I remember in quite some time. You guys need to realize that this is going on everywhere right now with good teams. It's gonna take a bit to get back in a normal rhythm, especially with so few fans in the stands.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Good to see a good bunt- versus a double play

[KOdawg1]

Hancock is the early MVP for this team.

Maybe if Allen keeps struggling, move Hancock up. Sometimes a change of scenery can help you get going.

[OLJWales]

Yep. What some don't realize is sometimes a couple of arms and bats get hot which can force feed additional enthusiasm throughout team. We've got a team capable of that and growing our SWAG.

[BeardoMSU]

This is a terrible take

[OLJWales]

BOOM!!!!

[KOdawg1]

LET'S GO.

Moving James down in the order has been good for him. 3 HRs

[BeardoMSU]

Bomb! Dawgs up 3-2.

https://64.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lsbbzgP4381r3a9fdo3_250.gifv

[Cowbell]

Is that 5 different guys with HRs this weekend? Against some good pitching

[KOdawg1]

Is that 5 different guys with HRs this weekend? Against some good pitching

Allen, Hancock, James (2), who else?

[trob115]

Where is Kellum Clark??

[KOdawg1]

Where is Kellum Clark??

The bench. He played vs. JSU

[Homedawg]

Where is Kellum Clark??

His spot is dh for now and Hancock is too hot to give him much PT really.

[BeardoMSU]

Jesus, why can't we have a clean inning....

[OLJWales]

are we about to get screwed? Yep, anybody see it?

[Saltydog]

i don't think Dubrule tagged him to be honest........

[BeardoMSU]

I guess they're saying it isn't reviewable?

Also, our TV production replay-turnaround is atrocious. Why the hell does it take so long for them to show the replay? Are we outsourcing this to Bangladesh or something?

[BeardoMSU]

Nice! Tried to bunt 'em over, and popped it up for the first out.

Please lets get out of this....

[BeardoMSU]

Whew....deep fly out. 2 down.

[Cowbell]

Allen, Hancock, James (2), who else?

Who hit one Friday?

[BeardoMSU]

Great ****ing play from 2nd base! Got out of it.

[KOdawg1]

Who hit one Friday?

Don't think anyone homered Friday. Allen, James, and Hancock all homered yesterday. James homered again today.

[OLJWales]

Did I hear that right? gonna bring a righty to face Tanner?

[BeardoMSU]

Did I hear that right? gonna bring a righty to face Tanner?

Yep.

[Homedawg]

Did I hear that right? gonna bring a righty to face Tanner?

Yes. Logan Tanner. He's rh. Tanner Allen just got the hat trick.

[KOdawg1]

We've got Rowdy Jordan, Landon Jordan, Landon Sims, Logan Tanner, Tanner Allen, Tanner Leggett.

We need to just start calling players by their numbers lol

[BeardoMSU]

We've got Rowdy Jordan, Landon Jordan, Landon Sims, Logan Tanner, Tanner Allen, Tanner Leggett.

Ha. It can lead to some confusion for sure!

[BeardoMSU]

Ah.....my fantasy for a clean inning continues to evade me.....**

Christ, guys.

[Offshore Dawg]

Why does this group have this much trouble making routine plays.

[magrooder]

Looks out to me.

[KOdawg1]

He's out

[BeardoMSU]

Why does this group have this much trouble making routine plays.

Routine, you say? You followed State long?**

[magrooder]

Just do away with replays, crap.

[KOdawg1]

Regardless, can Scotty Dubrule play SS? James's bat is good enough to keep him in the lineup, but maybe move him to 3B, move Landon Jordan to 2B, and move Scotty to SS? None of that works if Dubrule can't play SS, which I understand is the hardest position to play besides maybe catcher.

[BeardoMSU]

Ugh....

[Maroonthirteen]

THe number of video reviews in sports is beyond aggravating. The number of reviews, in which the call isn't changed when it should be, makes me just say F it to all video review.

[The Federalist Engineer]

His spot is dh for now and Hancock is too hot to give him much PT really.

How about 1B? Hatcher is only good for bunting these days. Competition could be inspiring for Hatch

[BeardoMSU]

These chippy ****ers. Toss one of these ass holes, please.

Forsythe is our next man at SS

[Offshore Dawg]

Routine, you say? You followed State long?**

Probably longer than you, however I keep hoping that the choke factor would diminish some.

[KOdawg1]

I want to beat these bastards so bad. They've done nothing but talk and chirp all weekend.

I'm sure we've had our fair share too, but I choose to ignore it.

[KOdawg1]

Forsythe is our next man at SS

I know, but I don't think his bat is ready, and I'm not sure whose you take out out of James, L. Jordan, or Dubrule to put him in there.

[BeardoMSU]

2 outs. Lead off runner still at first. C'mon. Lets get to the 9th!

[BeardoMSU]

Probably longer than you, however I keep hoping that the choke factor would diminish some.

Lol, indeed. Santa ignores my request for just that every Christmas.

[BeardoMSU]

Hahaha! Brandon giving it back to 'em after the K. **** you!

[OLJWales]

Strikes Out the Side, Brandon Jawing with the Tulane dugout. did anybody see the tag and the called strike 3 that Green complained about?

[BeardoMSU]

Lol...now Blue wants to start calming things. Have their eyes been stapled shut this whole ****ing weekend, or what? Their coach was literally bitching balls and strikes and nothing, but our pitcher gives 'em whatfor in a big moment, and now it's time to play peacemaker?!? **** you.

[Percho]

The ump made up for the five or six he has miss since I have been watching when we first scored.

[Offshore Dawg]

Question, anybody at the game that can give the cliff notes on what the Tulane players are running their mouth about.

[OLJWales]

Hatch. atta boy

[OLJWales]

FK

[OLJWales]

Lol...now Blue wants to start calming things. Have their eyes been stapled shut this whole ****ing weekend, or what? Their coach was literally bitching balls and strikes and nothing, but our pitcher gives 'em whatfor in a big moment, and now it's time to play peacemaker?!? **** you.

Damn. These umps bleed Green or something?

[BeardoMSU]

Question, anybody at the game that can give the cliff notes on what the Tulane players are running their mouth about.

Judging from the TV, they are chirping at almost every pitch, oohing and ahing at anything and everything that doesn't go their way, talking shit after every hit, catch, inning ender, etc.

[maroonmania]

I know, but I don't think his bat is ready, and I'm not sure whose you take out out of James, L. Jordan, or Dubrule to put him in there.

James is going to have to get his act together defensively or we won't be able to keep him at SS. Hopefully its just early season rust or something.

[mparkerfd20]

That was ball 4 and it wasn't even close

[msstate7]

Well, they backing up their talking. Spit

[HoopsDawg]

that ball hasn't landed yet. Shocked that our closer who tops at 86 gave up 2 runs.

[BeardoMSU]

****. Me.

[Saltydog]

And there you go. We may come back and win this game yet but even said there's no question they dominated us for the most part this whole series.

[maroonmania]

Well, that went South quickly.

[BeardoMSU]

There's our SS again, lol.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Wow. The entire team needs to run.

[msstate7]

that ball hasn't landed yet. Shocked that our closer who tops at 86 gave up 2 runs.

Maybe he should've thrown the 86. That slider was murdered

[Offshore Dawg]

Like I said earlier, just make the routine <17>ing plays, DAMN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lord McBuckethead]

Can we throw bigger beach balls up there with a 1 run lead?

[HoopsDawg]

And there you go. We may come back and win this game yet but even said there's no question they dominated us for the most part this whole series.

I've watched every pitch. They are the better team right now for sure.

[KOdawg1]

James is not an SEC shortstop .

[Lord McBuckethead]

I have zero faith we do something with three outs. The entire team looks beat already.

[maroonmania]

And there you go. We may come back and win this game yet but even said there's no question they dominated us for the most part this whole series.

No doubt they have been the better team this weekend outside of one inning. Hope we can do something here. Fortunate not to be down by 2 runs given they had the run taken away earlier in the game where they left 3rd base early.

[Offshore Dawg]

James is not an SEC shortstop .

That's a No Shit there KO !!

[HoopsDawg]

Can we throw bigger beach balls up there with a 1 run lead?

Brandon Smith was lights out. If you were ranking pitchers on our staff by "stuff", Price would be about number 15.

[Lord McBuckethead]

We have some cool hair cuts. But we suck at the plate.

[Cooterpoot]

This team has a long way to go to be what we thought we were.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Brandon Smith was lights out. If you were ranking pitchers on our staff by "stuff", Price would be about number 15.

He threw three back to back to back beach balls. Resulted in 2 runs.

[HoopsDawg]

James is not an SEC shortstop .

we are average to below average defensively at every position except for C and LF. 1B, SS, and 3B especially concerns.

[Offshore Dawg]

Dancing in the dougout like the softball team.HeHe

[BeardoMSU]

maybe their pitching will implode again....

one can dream

[Saltydog]

Price is a one trick pony. The margin for error is slim when your fb sits at 86.....

[Lord McBuckethead]

They made the routine play.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Once again, none of our hitters look like they want to be up there.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Bet the next pitch is straight gas down the middle.

[BeardoMSU]

Lets go Rowdy. Do it.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Scratch that, dude went off speed. No idea why.

[BeardoMSU]

0-11 from our first 3, lol. Lets fix that here.

[maroonmania]

Pitching and defense have their issues, but how many games are you seriously going to win scoring 2 to 3 runs every time we face an above average college pitcher? Friday we got 2 runs until a useless run in the 9th, Saturday we scored 3 runs until the explosion off the pitcher they left to die out there and then today we have 3 runs for now unless we find some more 9th inning magic.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Started Rowdy with a breaking ball. Just get one down in the outfield. Our next hitter can sac fly it. Lets go.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Good steal.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Base hit ties Rowdy.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Dubrule is my boy though.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Lets go guys.

[OLJWales]

HELL YEA!!!!!! Suck it Green Weenies!!!!

[msstate7]

Awesome. Huge response, and huge win.

[magrooder]

Walk it off part deux

[mparkerfd20]

F YOU TULANE!!!!

[KOdawg1]

TALK ALL THE SHIT YOU WANT

[HoopsDawg]

Wow, pretty awesome.

[BiscuitEater]

I have zero faith we do something with three outs. The entire team looks beat already.

Aged well!

[ScoobaDawg]

TAAAAAAAAAAAAA

GREAT timely hit

Big win. Boys are never out of it

[Lord McBuckethead]

Proven wrong. Good series of at bats.

[OLJWales]

Walk it off part deux

Nice. LOL

[HoopsDawg]

That was a great AB by the senior. Fouled off tough pitches, laid off tough pitches, and then went the other way for the line drive win.

[SaintDawg]

back to back walk off wins! Holy cow!

[Lord McBuckethead]

Aged well!

Love to be proven wrong.

[R2Dawg]

The Bulldog way, we've seen it many times. If you play MSU, better not celebrate too soon.

[Cloak]

LETS GOOOOO

[Bothrops]

How bout' them dawgs...!!

[Offshore Dawg]

I love it when shit talking gets pounded up that ass !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[R2Dawg]

That was a great AB by the senior. Fouled off tough pitches, laid off tough pitches, and then went the other way for the line drive win.

Yes it was. What you expect from a senior who ain't phased by much. Aged MSU baseball, no big deal.

[BeardoMSU]

I love it when shit talking gets pounded up that ass !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Indeed.

[Maroonthirteen]

Dayum, I thought State was going to charge the field before the winning run scored.

Nice win.

Too much posturing, look at me going on In sports at all levels.

Get off my lawn.

[OLJWales]

I have zero faith we do something with three outs. The entire team looks beat already.

Hopefully someone at the game can give some info on Green Weenie behavior.

[Maroonthirteen]

Seriously, Tulane may have been doing their best Pearl Pirate this weekend but.... all the bat flips, shooting air bows, flexing after every strike out..... give it a rest.

But I guess these kids need insta gram content.

[BeardoMSU]

Type weekend that can build some serious character.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Guys, Tulane kicked the crap out of us. Genuinely played better than us all 3 games, and they?re TULANE!

We should be embarrassed by this series; not flexing on how we put Tulane in their place.

We were Tulane having 1 closer away from getting SWEPT!

MacLeod had a 2nd bad start in a row. Cerantola hasn?t taken a step forward. Fristo doesn?t seem like a good replacement either. Price blew a save, Self doesn?t have it, Smith doesn?t look ready for SEC ball. Sims is the only stud on the staff. Pitching isn?t what we were promised at all.

Hitting struggled to score in all 3 games.

Fielding is terrible.

But sure, Tulane has no closer and we rallied late to avoid being swept. Time to flex!!!

Lord help... We win a series, which what your suppose to do, and we have people bitching about how bad we look... I don’t give a damn if they had 4 closets. We still won the damn series. Sorry we didn’t beat them 24-2 every game.

I agree they out played us, but they don't give out awards for out playing, it's about winning and yes, if we don't get better we will be in trouble. But we did win the series. That's a fact. Now just have to get better. But enjoy the wins dipshit.

[KOdawg1]

I'll never be upset about winning a series. We have a crap load of stuff we have to get better at and plenty of problems to address. But if you keep winning 2 of 3, you'll be the last team standing at the end of the season. Need to get our minds right, regroup, and get ready for USM Tuesday night.

This! Plus this is early season baseball. Winning a game in baseball is the only thing matters. No style points given in baseball just win. This isn't football

After we play USM Tuesday night, we only play 1 decent team (ULL, 1 game series) until SEC play starts. We almost have too many pitchers. Need to get everyone in the right role. I'm hoping we can clean up defensive play. Many will disagree, but I think Cumbest needs more AB's maybe Kellum Clark too. Need a little more pop in the lineup.

Tanner Leggett impressed the heck out of me with today's opportunity at 3rd. He's definitely earned more PT imo. Plus, Drew McGowan in the 9-hole is almost like a 2nd leadoff hitter when the lineup turns over... definitely the makings of a strong LH/RH platoon situation at both 3B & LF -- (LJordan/TLeggett and McGowan/Cumbest).

[trob115]

Clark needs ABs. Hatcher is a strikeout machine right now.

I would've disagreed a week ago, but I think maybe you're right. We need another RH bat to emerge in the worst way, and I think Cumbest is the most logical (and probably only) choice. Leggett looked decent today. He was one of the worst hitters I'd ever seen last year, but he jacked one to the wall today.

Regardless of the lineup, we just need to get guys at-bats so several out of them can get out of these funks they're in.

Cumbest is going to get plenty against lhp because we have no other choice. I'm not overly optimistic about him hitting sec pitching. Clark is going to get some ab's as the year goes.

[AlSwearengen]

Landon Jordan has the highest avg on the team, I believe. Legget got a good hit on the double but he ain?t doing that often. He is a late defensive replacement.

Hatcher looked rough early today but he has hit pretty well for the most part this year.

I think the hitting will get better but it won?t be what we have had the last couple of years.

Macleod needs to get straightened out which I think he will. Cerantola, I don?t know what to think. We have a lot of pitching options so we should be ok in that dept just from numbers and talent.

Our number 1 issue that has to be straightened out though is SS. Maybe James is pressing, I don?t know anything about him other than he is rated pretty high in the draft predictions.

Yeah, seems getting some competition could be helpful

If the senior is hitting like a freshman, start the freshman

Hatcher will get hot and right at some point soon

Tulane could have hung with any of the teams at Arlington last weekend.

Tulane has a solid team, winning that series was like winning a good SEC series.

No. They aren't sec quality. But winning the series sure beats losing it. They are a regional team though.

By good SEC team I mean 9-14 level, not great team. Based on some other SEC teams playing nobodies, seems about right to me. Neither of us has the truth on this, all opinion.

Like I said, a regional team. Not bad. You can have yours I'll have mine. All good. Happy we left w two wins. There are no pictures at the end of the year when it comes to wins and losses. Just your record

Tulane ain't scrubs, dude. We have issues to figure out, sure...but this is baseball, and luckily we have all season to figure them out....plus, not to mention the added benefit of actually winning the ****ing series, lol.

Carry on, tho.

Must spread prior to, spot on sir

We absolutely won that series on guts and belief in ourselves, not on good play. So for that, I am truly proud of this team for winning that series. That said though, to date, our starting pitching is not nearly as good so far as I was hoping it would be and our infield defense looks a bit shaky. On top of that our offense is pretty average right now and looks to be well below average when facing a good LH pitcher where our LH power bats get fully neutralized. I was so glad to see that their closer in the 9th was a RH pitcher. All that said, its WAY better to be able to work on things after a series win than after a disappointing series loss. We have the pieces, its just a matter of being able to put it together and part of that is in finding some more dependable RH hitting when facing a LH pitcher along with our LH hitters at least being able to cut down on their repeated strikeouts against lefties. I believe our starting pitching will eventually be solid, especially if Bednar gets back to health, and hopefully our infield defense will work out the kinks as well. We can't live with our starting SS averaging an error per game though.

I'll disagree that we have all the pieces. Especially with Cerentola struggling and Bednar out for who knows how long. All we have to do is face two left handed pitchers in a regional and we're toast.

Under that Premise, we must get Lane Forsyth in the lineup to get ABs and experience, even if it’s painful. One more RH would at least balance the team. If only Cumbest could become Renfroe over night.

But it may not be painful if Forsyth can field at SS, cause that’s another way to lose a super-regional. Poor defense in a key moment. That lost Arizona Game-1. Misplayed fly ball by Reid Humphries.

Landon Jordan is hitting too-good to bench, so it seems James, Dubrule, or Landon need to go play LF.

Guys, Tulane kicked the crap out of us. Genuinely played better than us all 3 games, and they?re TULANE!

We should be embarrassed by this series; not flexing on how we put Tulane in their place.

We were Tulane having 1 closer away from getting SWEPT!

MacLeod had a 2nd bad start in a row. Cerantola hasn?t taken a step forward. Fristo doesn?t seem like a good replacement either. Price blew a save, Self doesn?t have it, Smith doesn?t look ready for SEC ball. Sims is the only stud on the staff. Pitching isn?t what we were promised at all.

Hitting struggled to score in all 3 games.

Fielding is terrible.

But sure, Tulane has no closer and we rallied late to avoid being swept. Time to flex!!!

Go burn one. You need it.

[Cooterpoot]

Pitching will be fine. Certainly not unicorn level though. Hitting is a question and we knew that. Defense has to be better. Defense is flat bad at times.
