[BeardoMSU]

Lets sweep this thing.

[Rex54]

Is the ESPN app still showing "event not started" for everyone else?

[BeardoMSU]

Is the ESPN app still showing "event not started" for everyone else?

The game is on the SECN, but currently on SECNalt since the Mizz/SC game isn't over.

[KOdawg1]

It's not on the SEC alternate channel

[KOdawg1]

As the resident Hatcher hater, I predict he keeps it going from yesterday. Good thing too with OM coming to town next week.

Oh, speaking of OM, they're getting boat raced in the 2nd inning 5-0

[shoeless joe]

Is the ESPN app still showing "event not started" for everyone else?

Yes. SEC network says it’s on the app but the app says it hasn’t started

[Rex54]

Rowdey flyout
Allen single
James single
James stolen base
Hancock walk

Bases loaded

[Rex54]

2-0 good guys! Logan Tanner high chop single into left field.

[magrooder]

2 run single by Tanner, still one out men on 1st and 3rd

[BeardoMSU]

Nice. We strike first. 2-0. Runners at corners. Only 1 out.

[parabrave]

Logan with a 2 run hit. 2-0

[Rex54]

How about a safety squeeze here with Skinner?

[Saltydog]

For goodness sakes can not go ahead and move the game over. SC is beating Mizzou 11-4 in the bottom of the 8th.

[BeardoMSU]

Thanks, lol.

[Rex54]

3-0! Idiots keep trying to pick off noted speed demon Logan Tanner and threw it down the RF line.

[magrooder]

wild throw over to first, run scores with man on second 3-0

[BeardoMSU]

How about a safety squeeze here with Skinner?

Pitcher didn't want to give us the satisfaction, lol.

[Hambone]

It’s on the app now

[The Federalist Engineer]

The auburn pitcher is totally confused here. Trying to hold a catcher at 1b.

[BeardoMSU]

Nice. Skinner with a hit. 'Nother run scores. 4-0.

Meanwhile, Arky is up 5-0 against OM.

[magrooder]

Skinner doubles up the middle 4-0 still one out

[Rex54]

4-0!

Skinner single's and takes 2nd base on the throw

[msstate7]

Skinner laced that ball

[Rex54]

With it being shown on the app now I will stop posting the updates. For those on radio you will be 30-45 seconds ahead of the app so don't play "spoiler". Live tv should be here soon ay the end of the Mizzou USC game.

[msstate7]

Skinner doubles up the middle 4-0 still one out

Pretty sure that's a single

[BeardoMSU]

Would you look at that, lol. Hell yeah!

Hatch with the single. Skinner scores. Up 5-0.

[Saltydog]

Leggett really struggling this weekend. I don't recall a ball he's even hit hard.

[magrooder]

Skinner scores on Hatcher single and takes second on the throw home

[parabrave]

And Hatcher gets a RBI. 5-0

[Rex54]

Hatcher ropes a oppo single!!

Mmmmm hmmmmmm Ole Crow Medicine Show continues!

[BeardoMSU]

Lol, I'm starting to feel it for this pitcher. Not really, but I'm sure it sucks to be him right now.

[chef dixon]

This pitcher sucks and looks like Blake griffin

[msstate7]

Hatcher with a hard LD to opposite field. He seems to be getting hot

[KOdawg1]

As the resident Hatcher hater, I predict he keeps it going from yesterday. Good thing too with OM coming to town next week.



Eat crow.

[magrooder]

Forsythe singles off the pitcher's glove runners on the corners

[BeardoMSU]

Eat crow.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rACaFNLG4EI&ab_channel=deadbaby

[msstate7]

1 more, rowdey

[KOdawg1]

Hatcher with a hard LD to opposite field. He seems to be getting hot

Seems like he's changed his approach and it's absolutely working

[msstate7]

Damn rowdey, don't hurt yourself haha

[magrooder]

Rowdey hit by pitch, bases loaded for Allen

[msstate7]

Man, auburn is reeling.

[BeardoMSU]

Wow, Tanner!

[chef dixon]

What's the mercy rule

[KOdawg1]

8-0 Arky over OM in the 3rd

[magrooder]

Allen with the bases clearing triple 8-0 dawgs

[parabrave]

Tanner clears the bases with a triple to right. 8-0. Hope Fristoe is keeping warm,

[BeardoMSU]

Holy hell this has been a fun start. Now I can relax a bit and tend my smoker, lol.

Meanwhile, Ark is also up 8 nil.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Tough day for Fristoe, he's still waiting for the bottom of the 1st.

[msstate7]

Maybe I was a little quick on the trigger labeling this a really bad offensive team.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Holy hell this has been a fun start. Now I can relax a bit and tend my smoker, lol.

Meanwhile, Ark is also up 8 nil.

Yeah, I got to clean and vacuum a car.

[msstate7]

Really hope we can get cerantola 2+ innings today

[KOdawg1]

11-0 Arky over OM in the 3rd

[The Federalist Engineer]

Maybe I was a little quick on the trigger labeling this a really bad offensive team.

It amazing what Rowdey getting hot does for this team.

[BeardoMSU]

haha!

Also, Arky with another HR. They're up 11-0, lol. Holy shit.

[msstate7]

It amazing what Rowdey getting hot does for this team.

He's certainly the catalyst

[SaintDawg]

State up 10-0 in top of 1st. ouch.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Seems like he's changed his approach and it's absolutely working

Thats what Jay Powell is saying - on the radio

[Rex54]

Masters going on the tv, baseball to the phone.

[BeardoMSU]

Masters going on the tv, baseball to the phone.

You can't see ball velo off the bat on the radio, fyi.**

[Rex54]

All the "armchair psychologists" proven wrong.

[parabrave]

Fristoe just throw strikes.

[parabrave]

Balk???

[BrunswickDawg]

Maybe I was a little quick on the trigger labeling this a really bad offensive team.

You and a lot of others.
And y'all do it every year. Go back to 2011 and even our best teams have started slow offensively. We build thru the season.

[magrooder]

He's safe

[BeardoMSU]

He's gonna be ruled safe.

[BeardoMSU]

Still a great play from Lane and a good stretch from Hatch.

[SaintDawg]

Safe but still a great throw

[99jc]

i still not sure on our hitting yet

[KOdawg1]

So about Skinner's defense...

[RocketDawg]

Just checked the score (watching the Masters). Looks like we've learned to hit the ball.

[99jc]

skinner should have caught that

[BeardoMSU]

Jesus.

[99jc]

thats on skinner

[msstate7]

skinner should have caught that

Not sure if he shoulda caught it, but he damn sure shoulda went after it

[R2Dawg]

i still not sure on our hitting yet

Well you can't deny we have seen a move in the right direction. Not sure anyone has said we have arrived yet.

[BeardoMSU]

Why didn't we step on second?

[msstate7]

We must think it's over

[Dawgology]

Holy crap...rushed to get done with yard work so I wouldn?t miss the first couple innings so I just turned it on. Who pissed off the Bulldogs? Wow.

[99jc]

really forsythe damn

[parabrave]

Lets just get out of this inning.

[KOdawg1]

What the hell Forsythe? Even if you don't turn two, at least get the lead runner.

[99jc]

skinner needs to hit a dinger to make up for his lazy ass play.

[KOdawg1]

OM not going down without a fight. 11-5

[KOdawg1]

Not sure what the answer at 2B is.

Leggett and Dubrule both don't spark confidence.

[msstate7]

Good contact from Hatcher.

[parabrave]

Unis look great

[msstate7]

Not sure what the answer at 2B is.

Leggett and Dubrule both don't spark confidence.

Then go with best defender whoever that is

[99jc]

if fristoe gives up more runs in the 2nd pull his ass

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Fristoe missing high early.... not good with wind blowing out

[Dildoes]

Good lord some of y?all are some miserable mother****ers. Forsythe did what he was supposed to do and didn?t hesitate to take the guaranteed out. And why the hell should Skinner sell out and risk crashing into a brick ****ing wall on a game we?re winning big already?? Retards.

[KOdawg1]

Then go with best defender whoever that is

I think they're both pretty good. Dubrule had that lazy play with the infield fly last week, but they're both solid I think.

Not sure what their splits are, but if they're typical, I'd platoon them. Dubrule vs. righties, Leggett vs. lefties.

[BeardoMSU]

OM not going down without a fight. 11-5

Yep. Ark better not **** it up.

We, too, should have guys ready to go if it looks like it could get dicey.

[KOdawg1]

Good lord some of y?all are some miserable mother****ers. Forsythe did what he was supposed to do and didn?t hesitate to take the guaranteed out. And why the hell should Skinner sell out and risk crashing into a brick ****ing wall on a game we?re winning big already?? Retards.

He literally could've stepped on 2nd.

The ball was two feet left of the foul line. He didn't catch it because he didn't read it right, not because he was being cautious of the wall.

[99jc]

kiss our ass dildo

[BeardoMSU]

Alright now, lets move on to another arm. He's getting smoked.

[msstate7]

Damn, he got that high fastball

[99jc]

need to pull his ass now

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Fristoe missing high early.... not good with wind blowing out

Yep... I could see it coming.

[VandelayIndustries]

Auburn is going to make this a game

[The Federalist Engineer]

This is not over. We need to dial-in for a fight.

Fristoe is not stopping them

[BeardoMSU]

Who's the first guy out of the pen?

[KOdawg1]

The OM game and our game are very similar.

Us and Arky jumped out to huge leads, but OM and Auby fight back a little bit.

[BeardoMSU]

This is not over. We need to dial-in for a fight.

Fristoe is not stopping them

Word.

[99jc]

these announcers are annoying

[msstate7]

Good lord some of y?all are some miserable mother****ers. Forsythe did what he was supposed to do and didn?t hesitate to take the guaranteed out. And why the hell should Skinner sell out and risk crashing into a brick ****ing wall on a game we?re winning big already?? Retards.

You should try to get every ball you can every time. What's the point where you would have our guys play 100%, 5-, 6-, 7-, 10-run lead? What if we losing big? Can we not give it 100% then?

[KOdawg1]

Who's the first guy out of the pen?

If it were up to me, Mikey Tepper. The dude has down nothing but balled out for us when he's pitched.

But it'll probably be Carlisle Koestler

[BeardoMSU]

Jeez, Lane.

[KOdawg1]

Forsythe should try bunting more.

[BeardoMSU]

Good at bat, Luke. 11-4.

[magrooder]

Ump got a little fired up with our bench

[99jc]

Ump got a little fired up with our bench

they should he called a balk on fristoe for the same thing

[R2Dawg]

Ump got a little fired up with our bench

Bout what?

[KOdawg1]

Good at bat, Luke. 11-4.

Luke 11:4

"Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who has wronged us. And lead us not into temptation."

[The Federalist Engineer]

We need these runs. We must kill their hope.

Like Drago said.

https://i.redd.it/nrifvuj7z8e41.jpg

[SaintDawg]

bullshit that was a strike

[99jc]

legett say that was 17ing shit...lol

[magrooder]

Bout what?

Announcer said Gautreau was telling the ump to call a balk on the pitcher, like he did on Fristoe

[magrooder]

That should have been strike 3. Once again no idea what the strike zone is

[99jc]

fristoe needs to sit today....he is off

[The Federalist Engineer]

Would Fristoe still be pitching if this were a 2-4 game?

We need to hit the pen and respect the opponent. This is bad.

[BeardoMSU]

WTF are we waiting on here?!

[BeardoMSU]

Would Fristoe still be pitching if this were a 2-4 game?

We need to hit the pen and respect the opponent. This is bad.

Exactly. What the hell?

[SaintDawg]

not sold on Fristoe on Sundays.

[99jc]

lemonis needs to get off hiss ass and make a change

[BeardoMSU]

Here we go.

[99jc]

17ing ridiculous

[BeardoMSU]

Atta boy!

[msstate7]

Man, that was an impressive way to finish the inning

[magrooder]

Fristoe nutted up and got out of it

[99jc]

Fristoe nutted up and got out of it

yep that should me a lot.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Fristoe showed stones this inning after he had a mess

Good job

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Look guys, Fristo is the best option for Sunday but he's young and needs work. Lemo is letting him stay in while the game is in control so he can learn how to work through not having his best stuff. He got it going to end that inning, that's huge. Far more important to get him where he needs to be than it is to get Tepper or Kestler and extra 1-2 innings

[BrunswickDawg]

Fristoe making all of you look like bitches. You leave him in to teach him how to pitch out of jam - that 3rd inning pays off in post season.

[BrunswickDawg]

This guys gets it

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

We need to hit the pen and respect the opponent. This is bad.

If you cant let a pitcher work through stuff when you're up 8, when can you?

It's like putting the 2nd string in in football when you're up big in the 4th quarter. Or do you say "we're only up 28, keep the starters in and respect the opponent!" when we do that?

[msstate7]

Atta boy, lane. Next time let that helmet fall off and go for 3

[99jc]

Atta boy, lane. Next time let that helmet fall off and go for 3

lol i was thinking the same thing

[The Federalist Engineer]

Auburn has lots of lady fans. All texting and reading books. I would be out there if I were a 20 year old Auburn kid.

Saying, "Hello, you like baseball?"

[magrooder]

Harding slammed the door that inning

[Really Clark?]

That’s an easy inning, good job Harding

[BeardoMSU]

Lordy...Houston is dealin'

[magrooder]

Another impressive inning from Harding

[Really Clark?]

2 innings, 18 pitches, 3 K’s...that’s the way to come in and shut them down

[Rex54]

Rowdey destroys them so they plunk him down 10. Bitches.

[magrooder]

Rowdey gets hit by pitch for the 3rd time, looking forward to this one ending

[Mjoelner34]

Auburn native 3 hbp's in a 10 run game and not a word from the homeplate ump. Remember when the shithead coach from Florida hit C.T. Bradford on the first pitch of the game when Cohen was coach? Veins were popping in his neck.

ETA: The 3rd one was a curve but still.......

[Saltydog]

Yeah, you have to wonder if that's their agenda. Three times today and he's been hit at least one other time this weekend.

[KOdawg1]

OM has come roaring back. Only down 14-11 in the 6th

[BeardoMSU]

OM has come roaring back. Only down 14-11 in the 6th

Yep. At least we can relax again with our game. Arky is gonna **** up and blow a 11 to nothing lead.

The only silver lining of them blowing this and OM winning, is they'd be #1 coming to town Friday.

[BeardoMSU]

OM has come roaring back. Only down 14-11 in the 6th

Arky walked the bases loaded, then gave up a bases clearing double, then a 2 shot HR. Pitiful.

[99jc]

awbarn pitching sucks to say the least

[BeardoMSU]

OM has 2 on no outs bot7. Jesus. Arkansas is about to become a meme.

[BeardoMSU]

Granted, they're good at that...

https://i.imgur.com/9eJUvl4.jpg

[KOdawg1]

We're going to have our hands full next week. I've already some Pepto ready for Friday night with Hogland on the mound for them and MacLeod on the mound for us.

[magrooder]

Rowdey hit 4 times. AU needs to be called out for that crap

[KOdawg1]

OM has come back from an 11 run deficit and are now tied 14-14

[Mjoelner34]

I'm putting in Cerantola, calling a high heater and telling Logan to drop his mitt at the last second. Maybe 98 to the facemask will wake up the asshole behind homeplate as to what is going on. Auburn native who owns that team getting hit 4 times and nothing said to the dugout yet?

[Mjoelner34]

Maybe if Rowdy hadn't been hit 4 times today he would have had an extra step in the tank.

[SaintDawg]

We're going to have our hands full next week. I've already some Pepto ready for Friday night with Hogland on the mound for them and MacLeod on the mound for us.

I'm optimistic tbh... our guys always reach down deep and grab an extra gear when we play those powder blue sissies.

[The Federalist Engineer]

OM and Arkansas game is the lesson of College Baseball - kids don't handle the big lead sometimes.

14-14 Woof

[Really Clark?]

Well that was hammered Logan

[magrooder]

19-5 dawgs.

[SaintDawg]

I wanna see 20 runs now.

[Mjoelner34]

Well that was hammered Logan

TV said 437 ft!

[R2Dawg]

We're going to have our hands full next week. I've already some Pepto ready for Friday night with Hogland on the mound for them and MacLeod on the mound for us.

Be a tough series but looks like OM is going to have their hands full.

[R2Dawg]

OM and Arkansas game is the lesson of College Baseball - kids don't handle the big lead sometimes.

14-14 Woof

We play Ark right now the sweep don't happen in Starkville. That was a fluke weekend to say the least.

[Really Clark?]

Come on Tepper, find your focus

[KOdawg1]

I'm optimistic tbh... our guys always reach down deep and grab an extra gear when we play those powder blue sissies.

I think we can win the series. I just don't feel great about Friday night.

[magrooder]

what in the world happened to Tepper

[SailingDawg]

No mercy rule in college?

[The Federalist Engineer]

Intro to manufacturing for you guys:

Sometimes people mess up a batch and don’t know it. Results in a costly recall or other issue.

I wonder if someone messed up the SEC official baseballs. That would explain the unusual offense this week. Even Vandy got torched

[Really Clark?]

Bad form Skinner

[KOdawg1]

Forsythe with another questionable decision. He could've thrown that guy out at home. Lemonis is chewing him out about it.

[99jc]

skinner is not that good....thats 2 on him today

[KOdawg1]

skinner is not that good....thats 2 on him today

All the more reason for a Skinner/Cumbest platoon

[Mjoelner34]

Forsythe with another questionable decision. He could've thrown that guy out at home. Lemonis is chewing him out about it.

I don't know how they do it now but a million years ago in highschool, someone besides the cutoff man was in charge of calling cuts and would have been yelling "Cut home! Cut home!" while the ball was inbound from Skinner. Maybe they did and he didn't follow through or maybe there was no communication and when he saw the runner, he wasn't in a good position to throw.

[maroonmania]

Why do so many pitchers have trouble throwing strikes with a huge lead? One of the great mysteries of the universe.

[99jc]

lack of concentration

[The Federalist Engineer]

skinner is not that good....thats 2 on him today

That’s a funky outfield at Auburn. Lots of exposed concrete.

To be fair

[RocketDawg]

Probably not the reason. Both teams play with the same ball.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Cut home!" while the ball was inbound from Skinner. Maybe they did and he didn't follow through or maybe there was no communication and when he saw the runner, he wasn't in a good position to throw.

Love it, thats how Nick Saban uses blow out games. Teaching moments.

He’s coaching every minute instead of texting a girl friend

[The Federalist Engineer]

Probably not the reason. Both teams play with the same ball.

We give up 10 runs routinely?

[Saltydog]

Boy, Skinner is not the outfielder I thought. That was horrible. That's twice today he misjudged what should have been outs.

[R2Dawg]

Impressive part is we have scored all this on Aub. Aub infield D is very good. How many double plays have they turned on us and clutch throws for outs.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Probably not the reason. Both teams play with the same ball.

In tuning into the Oxford missile proving grounds to watch the new baseball

18-14 to the 9th

[RocketDawg]

We give up 10 runs routinely?

My bad. Thought you were just talking about OUR sudden ability to hit the ball.

[maroonmania]

Boy, Skinner is not the outfielder I thought. That was horrible. That's twice today he misjudged what should have been outs.

No easy play by any means but the ball hung up so long that he should have had all kinds of time to find the wall and time a jump. Could have almost caught that ball by just reaching up without jumping. He was just lost out there though.

[Really Clark?]

That?s a funky outfield at Auburn. Lots of exposed concrete.

To be fair

Yeah that?s true but he wasn?t even trying to find the wall.

[maroonmania]

Wish he would have left Patrick in there. That dude was feeding the zone which is all we need right now.

[VandelayIndustries]

Goodness end this game please

[msstate7]

Great weekend following a great weekend. Good job, dawgs

[The Federalist Engineer]

Arkansas walks lead off rebel and now a base hit

Tying run on deck

2 On - 0 Outs

[The Federalist Engineer]

2 outs in the 9th

18-14 Arkansas

[99jc]

i hate ole missy...that is all

[The Federalist Engineer]

If OM had won?

Would it have been a #1 vs #2 baseball Egg Bowl?

[99jc]

If OM had won?

Would it have been a #1 vs #2 baseball Egg Bowl?

no

[The Federalist Engineer]

Final

Arkansas 18 Ole Miss 14

[BeardoMSU]

If OM had won?

Would it have been a #1 vs #2 baseball Egg Bowl?

We should move up, but we might not. We should be around 3 or 4.

Hell, last week OM didn't budge at 3 after losing 2/3 to Florida. I'm sure this week, the voters will be like "hey, they came back from 11 down and tied the game in the 7th vs Arkansas" and jump them to #1.

[Activated Alpha]

Is anyone else grilling crow this evening? Think I grabbed a steak today instead....

[Rex54]

16 at bats since the last K for Hatcher, for the guy claiming the 20 AB's prior to that "proved" a statistically significant problem with strikeouts.

[BeardoMSU]

Is anyone else grilling crow this evening? Think I grabbed a steak today instead....

I'm doing a pork butt. Got baked-potato salad (ala Bulldog Deli) in the fridge, and will saute up some kale with garlic right before we eat. Been a great Sunday so far; I expect dinner to be more of the same.

[maroonmania]

Biggest positive of the weekend is that perhaps, perhaps, our offense is coming around. If that happens, this team is capable of pretty much anything.

Do you smoke your pork butt? I smoked one on my new smoker Friday and thought 12 hours was enough, but probably needed 14-16

[The Federalist Engineer]

Biggest positive of the weekend is that perhaps, perhaps, our offense is coming around. If that happens, this team is capable of pretty much anything.

I’m glad that we can talk about something other than Hatcher.

How about ABs for Cumbest, the 5-tool natural

[Coach34]

Hatcher had a huge weekend going 3/12- hitting .250 for the weekend.

[Ari Gold]

Hatcher had a huge weekend going 3/12- hitting .250 for the weekend.

I will take .250 from this guy every weekend from here out and be very satisfied. Because we know one thing for sure.. he is going to be in the lineup.

[basedog]

Auburn is NOT a good team, "under Coached" imo. Butch has been there 4 years and is a pitching Coach and they suck overall, injuries and all. I'm not hating on Butch but just stating what I saw from his team this weekend. Thank goodness he isn't our head coach. Lemonis > Thompson.

Btw, Rowdy getting hit 4 times was BS, no doubt something was up with all of that!

[Rex54]

Hatcher had a huge weekend going 3/12- hitting .250 for the weekend.

With a HR, what would have been a sacrifice bunt, and zero strikeouts.

[StarkVegasSteve]

I will take .250 from this guy every weekend from here out and be very satisfied. Because we know one thing for sure.. he is going to be in the lineup.

At this point it's a given Hatch is going to be in the lineup. So we just have to pray for 3-12 weekends and hope one of the 3 is a HR. Maybe, he'll turn the corner though. He's the key to everything if Lemonis is going to stay with him.

[Ari Gold]

With a HR, what would have been a sacrifice bunt, and zero strikeouts.

It’s still scored a sac bunt.. no matter the error

[Coach34]

It’s still scored a sac bunt.. no matter the error

His bunt was so bad they ruled it an error on the throw and didnt give him credit for a sac

He turned on the HR and that was nice. As was his oppo single to left. He got lucky on his seeing eye bleeder but hey- you need some luck at times. He was still 3/12 at the end of the day. He'll face some very good pitching the next 2 weeks. We'll see how it goes

Halfway decent catcher would've thrown the runner out at second on that bunt. That bunt was so bad it was literally right in front of the plate and he shouldn't have been given a sac. I honestly hope Hatcher gets it going but as you said we'll find out the next 2 weekends.
