MSU-Vandy Game 3

[KOdawg1]

Let's do the damn thing

[parabrave]

Brad Cumbest sighting.

[Bdawg]

Ok, Brad, here's your chance to shine. I definitely agree with the call.

[RocketDawg]

Getting a periodic blue screen using Roku. It's only momentary but irritating. Anybody else?

[SaintDawg]

Getting a periodic blue screen using Roku. It's only momentary but irritating. Anybody else?
yep. me too. never seen that before?

[msstate7]

Come on Allen, crap

[RocketDawg]

yep. me too. never seen that before?

I'll reload after the inning's over. Maybe that'll fix it.

[MetEdDawg]

I've already muted these douchebags on the call too. They are terrible.

And yes I'm getting the same intermittent blue screen too.

[RocketDawg]

Their pitcher's a little wild.

[msstatelp1]

Happening on xfinity too using the espn app

[parabrave]

Getting a periodic blue screen using Roku. It's only momentary but irritating. Anybody else?

HailState radio intermittent also.

[msstate7]

I'll take it.

[RocketDawg]

Wow. Vandy's looking like the Keystone Cops in the first. I think the plastic grass is too slick.

[SaintDawg]

there is something wrong with the feed then if its on more than one medium

[parabrave]

Hancock knows what to do when a runner is on 3rd

[Maroonthirteen]

Ha. Dude slow.

[ZedFedder]

Blue screen happening for me too. Must be on Vandy’s production end.

[Maroonthirteen]

there is something wrong with the feed then if its on more than one medium

Yeah. I have good Internet. I'm getting a flash of blue screen often.

[Percho]

I'll reload after the inning's over. Maybe that'll fix it.

It's on everything

[MetEdDawg]

I can't believe that we've got the Sunday rubber match of 2 Top 5 teams and we get the 12 year old ESPN B team on the call and an intermittently flashing blue screen affecting the feed.

[MaroonFlounder]

Yeah. I have good Internet. I'm getting a flash of blue screen often.

Same here

[msstate7]

Crazy how baseball works... this kid was like 1 inch from having 2 outs 0 runs. Now it's 1-0 bases loaded and he might get taken out any minute

[BrunswickDawg]

Dubrule!! That's the hitter we need

[msstate7]

Dubrule is figuring out sec pitching

[Maroonthirteen]

Boys, I think the bats are coming alive for the bottom of the lineup.

[RocketDawg]

Looking good for the good guys. Hope they don't sit back though.

[BrunswickDawg]

Same here

I'm streaming over AT&T cell service and I'm getting getting blue screen and choppiness too - must be the Whistler

[Bdawg]

Isn't it amazing what leadoff walks lead to??!! Let's go boys!! Make them pay!!!

[RocketDawg]

I can't believe that we've got the Sunday rubber match of 2 Top 5 teams and we get the 12 year old ESPN B team on the call and an intermittently flashing blue screen affecting the feed.

Blue screen is getting worse. They must be working on it, flipping switches or something.

[Bulldog1]

These guys are putting it all together

[Bdawg]

Fristoe getting the cold treatment again but I like it. Hope he comes out sharp.

[MaroonFlounder]

Josh will hit into DP, right?

[msstate7]

That's a pretty good PA for cumbest. That would be a tough pitch to take when getting limited sec action

[Percho]

Be a nice time for a GS!

[RocketDawg]

How many earned runs did Riley have? Had lots of walks that don't count (never figured out why they don't count though).

[parabrave]

Josh will hit into DP, right?

Be careful Rex will belittle you, Oh Wait. Thats 2 good ABs right there.

[CadaverDawg]

Great 1st with the bats!!

Be patient Hatch, no grounder here

[Bdawg]

That's a pretty good PA for cumbest. That would be a tough pitch to take when getting limited sec action

Beats Skinner swinging at high heat.

[Bdawg]

Great 1st with the bats!!

Be patient Hatch, no grounder here

Yeah. Really patient there!! Dang

[parabrave]

Comon JH just hit the Ball in the Air. Get the run in.

[msstate7]

Beats Skinner swinging at high heat.

I thought skinner had 2 good PA to end the game last night, so I was surprised he wasn't out there

[Saltydog]

Hatcher, good lord. I'm ready for Clark to assume that position. It can't be any worse.

[BayouDawg]

Great inning so far. Is there any hope left that JH gets it going?

[msstate7]

This pitcher has great stuff

[Commercecomet24]

Hatcher just overmatched at the plate consistently

[Bulldog1]

Great AB by our senior 1B.....

[Cooterpoot]

And just like that, our .145 hitter ends a big inning with a K.

[CadaverDawg]

3 is great, but it should have been worse. Hatcher is just killing us

[msstate7]

95ish and that change at 88 that just nosedives. He's got stuff

[parabrave]

Hopefully Fristoe stayed Warm during that inning.

[RocketDawg]

McElvayne did a good job getting them out of a mess.

[Bdawg]

Man that needed to get down. What we needed batch to do.

[KOdawg1]

Could've ended this game before it started, but I'll take 3. Let's hope Fristoe is on

[BayouDawg]

3 is great, but it should have been worse. Hatcher is just killing us

And I think he is what he is at this point of the season. Id be fine with a change at first base

[RocketDawg]

How much is the video delayed from the radio broadcast? Must be significant.

[msstate7]

We have a 3 run lead and in their pen. Great top half

[Bdawg]

95ish and that change at 88 that just nosedives. He's got stuff

Yeah that's a swing and miss pitch. Just felt sorry for Hatch. Swing at both of those. Pitching ninja material there.

[Cooterpoot]

I'm just dumbfounded we haven't signed another guy that can play first and hit at least .250.

[MaroonFlounder]

Lemonis moved hatch up to the 8 spot in the lineup and it cost us a run.

Forsythe fly ball would have been a SF RBI

[Commercecomet24]

We have to at least give Clark a shot at 1b

[Percho]

Could have been a triple? It would have bounced straight up.

[ZedFedder]

If Fristoe can get us 5 innings and hold them to three or less I’ll be happy. I think we are gonna tack on more.

[CadaverDawg]

Lemonis moved hatch up to the 8 spot in the lineup and it cost us a run.

Forsythe fly ball would have been a SF RBI

Right, Left, Right I would imagine. Overthinking

[Bdawg]

We have to at least give Clark a shot at 1b

I mean how long can you go?

[BrunswickDawg]

Fristoe is nasty today!
9 pitch inning with 2 ks

[magrooder]

Fristoe with great start

[Bdawg]

Hell yeah. Single digit pitches!!!! Awesome answer Fristoe!!!

[KOdawg1]

Fristoe is going to be a stud for us next year

[Bulldog1]

I'm just dumbfounded we haven't signed another guy that can play first and hit at least .250.

Allen to 1B and Cumbest to RF

[Bulldog1]

Fristoe is going to be a stud for us next year

Yep. Friday night guy.

[KOdawg1]

TA bomb

[parabrave]

Great hit Tanner.

[BrunswickDawg]

TA with a bomb!!

[Bdawg]

TA!!!!!!!!! Bomb baby!!!!

[msstate7]

Wow

[magrooder]

Tanner ALLEN!!!

[mparkerfd20]

TA clocked that ball.

[RocketDawg]

Man, Tanner Allen has some strength to go deep.

[BayouDawg]

TA goes yard. 4-0 dawgs

[KOdawg1]

It's difficult to watch an MLB game and then a college game. In MLB, the strike zone is on the plate. In college, it's in between the lines.

[mparkerfd20]

James swings at Ball 4

[Bdawg]

Joboo in the 3 hole has got to hit the curve sometime!! Adjust James. Let's go.

[Bdawg]

It's difficult to watch an MLB game and then a college game. In MLB, the strike zone is on the plate. In college, it's in between the lines.

Yeah James got screwed on that outside curve

[KOdawg1]

James needs to come back next year. He could make some money

[Cooterpoot]

If we score every inning, we'll win.

[magrooder]

It's difficult to watch an MLB game and then a college game. In MLB, the strike zone is on the plate. In college, it's in between the lines.

It's very frustrating for the zone to be so inconsistent. Pitchers honestly never know from one game to the next and sometimes from one pitch to the next what the zone is.

[Commercecomet24]

It's difficult to watch an MLB game and then a college game. In MLB, the strike zone is on the plate. In college, it's in between the lines.

And the strike zone is so inconsistent, it changes hitter to hitter

[KOdawg1]

WHY ARE POP UPS SO DIFFICULT FOR US

[magrooder]

It seems every pop up our team seems to have difficulty calling the ball

[The Federalist Engineer]

“0-9” Vanderbilt Football team is the proper introduction

They are garbage and should be practicing or something

[magrooder]

Short crank gets pissed at the outside strike when they get the same call.

[magrooder]

Rowdey got a good jump on that liner

[magrooder]

Easy grounder to short for third out

[CadaverDawg]

Hatch singles!

[magrooder]

Cumbest says I should be starting every day with a single

[KOdawg1]

A blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then

[magrooder]

Short crank wasn't bitching about those two outside fastball strikes

[Bdawg]

Just screwing forsythe!!!!

[magrooder]

Rowdey needs a grand SLAM today

[Bdawg]

6 balls to Forsythe there

[Cooterpoot]

If Rowdy bats every inning. We win.

[CadaverDawg]

Not a good swing on a 1-1 count. Hate leaving em loaded

[magrooder]

Crap.

[parabrave]

We can't keep on blowing loaded bases situations.

[KOdawg1]

They're going to make a run. Need to have as many insurance runs as possible for when they do

[Bdawg]

That's twice leaving them loaded and chances to really break it open. Got to capitalize but we look like the better team.

[Percho]

They are getting better calls than we are.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Cumbest says I should be starting every day with a single

Yes, absolutely. He?s a freakish talent. It?s not like Hancock or Skinner are having All SEC seasons or something

[AROB44]

They are getting better calls than we are.


I think it's pretty well called.

[parabrave]

Oh a bunt single.

[CadaverDawg]

In the words of Mike Leach, Fristoe has been "better than average" through 3.

[KOdawg1]

TA is by far my favorite player on this team

[BrunswickDawg]

Just gotta add - it's 75 with a slight breeze here in coastal Georgia - and I'm sitting on my back patio sipping a local brew, streaming awesome baseball, and loving the day. Enjoy your day fellas!

[R2Dawg]

Fristoe is on today.

[KOdawg1]

I honestly did not know who Vandy hired as their coach. I knew they fired Mason, but I guess I never heard who they hired.

[CadaverDawg]

TA is by far my favorite player on this team

Yep. He's like a more talented Cody Brown...and I was a big fan of downtown Cody Brown

[CadaverDawg]

Just gotta add - it's 75 with a slight breeze here in coastal Georgia - and I'm sitting on my back patio sipping a local brew, streaming awesome baseball, and loving the day. Enjoy your day fellas!

Bastard.

I'm jealous

[magrooder]

We are letting this pitcher off the hook too easy

[R2Dawg]

We are letting this pitcher off the hook too easy

Yeah we have left too many men in scoring position.

[Percho]

I would like to see James intentionally hit the ball hard to the opposite field.

[CadaverDawg]

Rowdey looked clueless on that. He should have caught that

[Bulldog1]

Really Rowdey??

[KOdawg1]

Rowdy is not a good CF. Not saying he should've caught that, but he completely misplayed that off the wall

[mparkerfd20]

Rowdey misplayed that. That's an out if Jake was still out there at CF.

[CadaverDawg]

Now since we didn't put them away when we had the chance, they're a few big hits from being right back in it

[magrooder]

Hope this triple doesn't rattle Fristoe. It means nothing if they only get one out of it

[BuckyIsAB****]

We must not catch many fly balls at practice

[KOdawg1]

I'll trade a run for an out there. Need to avoid the big inning.

[Percho]

We must not catch many fly balls at practice

We miss more than I think we should.

[parabrave]

Go talk to him.

[Bulldog1]

Great throw 3B

[VandelayIndustries]

Self destructive

[CadaverDawg]

Dammit James.

[magrooder]

Damn James. You don't have to hurry set and make the throw

[Bdawg]

Rowdey looked clueless on that. He should have caught that

Didn't look like was running hard to get there. Wonder if he saw it very good. Sure looked bad.

[Bulldog1]

Get Harding up

[CadaverDawg]

Watch us give this series away

[KOdawg1]

Defense will be the down fall for this team

[Saltydog]

AND just like that they're back in the game. Horrible, just horrible effort by James. He's got to make that throw.

[Bdawg]

I'll trade a run for an out there. Need to avoid the big inning.

James not helping. Rushed it.

[VandelayIndustries]

Hold em to one Jackson

[BayouDawg]

Our fielding will probably be the thing that keeps us from reaching the championship

[Bdawg]

Ok. They barreling him some now

[magrooder]

Might want to get someone up and throwing. They are seeing Fristoe good right now

[KOdawg1]

Kam James, that's on you

[Bdawg]

Kam James, that's on you

No doubt. Had time too.

[Saltydog]

And it's not just the errors. It's the angles we take, especially in the OF. Skinner, James and Allen all three take bad angles at look unsure at times. Let's don't even talk about James.

[VandelayIndustries]

Good job JF, should have only been one

[Bdawg]

Got to get some more. bases loaded twice better not bite us.

[KOdawg1]

Well we knew 4 runs wasn't going to be enough. Go get some more runs, because no lead is safe with our defense

[BuckyIsAB****]

The whistler needs his ass whipped

[BayouDawg]

Basically gave them 2 runs with our poor fielding. The deep fly ball was tough but good center fielders make that play. James error was just ridiculous head in the ass play.

[Saltydog]

Yep, he wanted to be pretty. He had time to stop and make that throw.

[Saltydog]

McElvain is in a groove now. We should've knocked this guy out when we had the chance. We're going to have to score more runs before this one is over.

[BiscuitEater]

Come on Hatch ... Get that BA above .200!

[magrooder]

McElvain is in a groove now. We should've knocked this guy out when we had the chance. We're going to have to score more runs before this one is over.

Our batters aren't acting like we need some more runs

[KOdawg1]

They have all the momentum right now.

[KOdawg1]

There's you daily Hatcher groundball to the right side

[Saltydog]

Hatcher with his usual dribble out to second. Well, it's either that or a K.

[BiscuitEater]

Hatcher grounded out to 2b (0-0).

1st pitch swinging ground out to 2B ... now where have I seen that before?

[somebodyshotmypaw]

They keep talking about some celebrity named Jack White in the stands. I’ve never heard of him.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Big inning coming for Fristoe in the 5th.

[BiscuitEater]

I could go for a nice DP right here!

[parabrave]

Who is in the Bullpen?

[BrunswickDawg]

They keep talking about some celebrity named Jack White in the stands. I’ve never heard of him.

The band White Stripes.
Also owns Warstic bats with former MSU player. He's here to see us, not Vandy

[KOdawg1]

Need to put Harding in

[Bulldog1]

Please put Harding in

[magrooder]

Fristoe is done.

[BiscuitEater]

Anybody watching, is Harding warming up?

[magrooder]

Anybody watching, is Harding warming up?

He's up and pitching

[Bulldog1]

Anybody watching, is Harding warming up?
Yes

[magrooder]

Looks like Harding is ready. Need to bring him in now

[Maroonthirteen]

I don't get at all why we pitch around their lead off guy. He has the bat on his shoulder and wants a walk. He isn't that good of a hitter. Gezzz.

[Bulldog1]

More pitching mismanagement

[parabrave]

Thats on you Lemon/

[magrooder]

Good call Lemonis.

[BeardoMSU]

Wtf

[Bdawg]

What the hell are we doing?

[KOdawg1]

That's on Lemonis. He continues to leave guys in too long

[parabrave]

Looks like Harding is ready. Need to bring him in now

Too fing late.

[VandelayIndustries]

One too many for Fristoe

[Bulldog1]

Lemonis makes some very bad decisions at times

[magrooder]

10 F'n pitchers on the bench and you let this shithead homer

[The Federalist Engineer]

Just me?

WTF was Fristoe doing in the inning?

Ok- we just gave them 3 runs

[CadaverDawg]

And pitching decision cost us a big series. Terrible

[Bdawg]

Could have been lefty on lefty too. Unreal. Time to battle.

[Maroonthirteen]

See. You give that weak hitter a free base. If you're going to throw one down the pipe, throw to the guy with zero homers.

[KOdawg1]

Too late now fatass

[R2Dawg]

We lose this one it is on coaching. Fristoe was done and we left him in. Stupid.

[BrunswickDawg]

Could have been lefty on lefty too. Unreal. Time to battle.

That guy is a switch hitter

[BuckyIsAB****]

Might as well had left him in now

[Saltydog]

We may have blown it boys. Had chances to chase McElvain and didn't do it and then Fristoe, much like MacLeod, has one of those innings where he goes from being unhittable to shit.

[Bulldog1]

Don't forget we burned Sims last night... In a blowout

[Percho]

Why have a deep bullpen if you are not going to fish deep?

[Cooterpoot]

We win games despite our coaching. Such a bad coaching decision. Just unbelievable!

[Bulldog1]

We may have blown it boys. Had chances to chase McElvain and didn't do it and then Fristoe, much like MacLeod, has one of those innings where he goes from being unhittable to shit.

Fristoe is good for about 3-4 innings then he's done

[msstate7]

We lose this one it is on coaching. Fristoe was done and we left him in. Stupid.

Goes back to last night using sims with a big lead. If sims is available, you have quicker hook with fristoe bc you know last 2 are covered

[Activated Alpha]

Think that?s game?

[KOdawg1]

they gonna blow us out

[magrooder]

Harding not fooling them

[Bulldog1]

No doubt this is on coaching

[mparkerfd20]

Lemonis has been stupid this weekend.

[magrooder]

Harding not fooling them

Nevermind

[Activated Alpha]

Should have torched them for all the rubs in the first and second. Cant give in with bases loaded

[mparkerfd20]

Forsythe is worse than Hatcher lately. Swing the f'ing bat!!!!!!

[Activated Alpha]

Dude just making us look silly at the plate

[magrooder]

Good eye Forsythe

[Saltydog]

We don't have one starting pitcher that we can depend on to take us deep into a game. MacLeod is not the guy I won't on the bump in a big game and neither is Fristoe. Bednar, maybe but he can't get past 6. Our pitching staff is good but not great like some seem to think. Our ERA has went up over 1.6 points in the last month.

[Activated Alpha]

Not sure if we can score on them at this point. Need to take better ABs

[magrooder]

Tanner knows hotshot in center has a weak ass arm

[The Federalist Engineer]

I don’t understand Vandy switching pitchers here?

Aren’t they supposed to give us a 3 run homer or grand slam first?

Makes no sense

[Bdawg]

That guy is a switch hitter

Ok thanks

[Activated Alpha]

There we go Tanner. Again with the hustle to get into scoring position. Just need James to hit him in!!

[KOdawg1]

I don’t understand Vandy switching pitchers here?

Aren’t they supposed to give us a 3 run homer or grand slam first?

Makes no sense


They're going to their best reliever too. It's almost like it's good coaching

[msstate7]

Vandy bringing their best in. Must be nice to have best reliever available in a tight game

[Bdawg]

James. Your due. Let's go.

[Activated Alpha]

Vandy bringing their best in. Must be nice to have best reliever available in a tight game

Yeah going to be hard. Need quality ABs against him

[Bdawg]

Our 3 hole can't be this bad in a series.

[Activated Alpha]

Nope. Nope. Nope.

[R2Dawg]

James is worse than Hatcher right now. He is in a major slump

[KOdawg1]

Well, that's ballgame because one coach managed his bullpen well and the other didn't

[magrooder]

Weak at bat from James. Not one pitch he swung at was a strike.

[R2Dawg]

We have no business losing this game this way. Best bullpen in baseball and we mismanage it. Vandy goes to their pen in the first to minimize damage, we leave guy in too long before even gong to bullpen in 5th.

[R2Dawg]

Weak at bat from James. Not one pitch he swung at was a strike.

1 for 11 this series. Except for game one OM he was bad.

[Saltydog]

Freaking lead off walks. We lose this one and it's gonna sting a bit.

[Bdawg]

Lead off walk!! Greeeeeaaaaatttt!

[Activated Alpha]

Lead off walks score

[Percho]

James believes he can pull that slider.

Call me when that happens.

[Bulldog1]

This game should not even be close...

[Activated Alpha]

Who do we pull from the pen now? Harding isn?t sharp this inning

[Bdawg]

James and Lemonis not having a good day.

[magrooder]

We do not play defense worth a shit.

[Bdawg]

Get somebody else in there. Doesn't have it.

[The Federalist Engineer]

James. Your due. Let's go.

Vandy has found James weakness - he?s not going to see pitches from them

[magrooder]

That was a strike.

[Bdawg]

Guess we don't teach anyone on first to just stretch out a little.

[Activated Alpha]

They score here it?s most likely game with their best bullpen arm out there

[Bdawg]

Vandy has found James weakness - he?s not going to see pitches from them

Nope. He's Joboo right now. Better learn to hit it.

[Activated Alpha]

That?s game

[mparkerfd20]

Ballgame. Oh well it was fun a little while

[Bdawg]

Boy we love to pull guys after the damage is done. Best pen in the country my ass. Especially if you're scared to use them.

[msstate7]

Weak throw from cumbest

[CLTDAWG94]

Ballgame

[msstate7]

Boy we love to pull guys after the damage is done. Best pen in the country my ass. Especially if you're scared to use them.

We have to extend guys today bc of no sims. This game was lost last night when we played to win 1 game

[Cooterpoot]

Lemonis is such a bad game manager.

[KOdawg1]

Well, our coach played to win one game instead of the series, so that's exactly what's going to happen.

[Activated Alpha]

To be honest though I can?t see Lemonis putting in Sims after Harding so this end result would still be the same

[Offshore Dawg]

We have no business losing this game this way. Best bullpen in baseball and we mismanage it. Vandy goes to their pen in the first to minimize damage, we leave guy in too long before even gong to bullpen in 5th.

Does not appear like the dawgs have the best bullpen in college baseball

[Cooterpoot]

To be honest though I can?t see Lemonis putting in Sims after Harding so this end result would still be the same

Stinnett and Sims though. Johnson could go again too. Cerentola is out there.

[Bulldog1]

Lemonis is such a bad game manager.

Yes he is. Terrible
