Battle of the Maroons game 1

[parabrave]

BTM of 2nd 1-0 MSU.

[VandelayIndustries]

TA crushed that ball 2-0 Dawgs

[KOdawg1]

Every time we get A&M to ground into the shift, they play "Shift Work" by George Straight and Kenny Chesney over the PA. Love it

[Bdawg]

Still 2-0?

[VandelayIndustries]

Yes A&M threatening though

[maroonmania]

Seriously, does Hatcher understand the concept of stretching to catch a ball at first base?

[magrooder]

Still 2-0?

Yes, but atm has runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs.

[Activated Alpha]

Well there goes the thought of good defense this weekend

[magrooder]

James with another wild throw, two runs on the error

[maroonmania]

And Kam James with another throwing error. 2-2 now.

[Commercecomet24]

James throws the ball away at least once a weekend dang.

[VandelayIndustries]

James throws it into RF bullpen 2 runs score 2-2

[Activated Alpha]

Need to have had someone in the bullpen at the beginning of the inning. We all know Mac can?t go deep. Why can?t the coaches?

[Commercecomet24]

Seriously, does Hatcher understand the concept of stretching to catch a ball at first base?

No he's a below average 1B, his footwork around the bag is awful and costs us outs.

[maroonmania]

Seriously, IMO, this is the worst 'Top 10" baseball team I have ever seen at State.

[Homedawg]

James with another wild throw, two runs on the error

A really tough play and he did the hard part field it. Then made a throw that wasn't close to the bag.

[Lord McBuckethead]

So when do we start talking about Macload having bullshit innings like this one.

[KOdawg1]

1. Mac is not a Friday night level guy

2. Kam James is getting comical at this point

[Lord McBuckethead]

Here is the thing, if you cannot make the throw, then don't. We lost the lead due to something beyond his talent level. There goes the lead as I type it.

Beach balls.

[Commercecomet24]

A really tough play and he did the hard part field it. Then made a throw that wasn't close to the bag.

And when he throws it away he really throws it away , not even close.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Mac just looks pedestrian tonight. And last week for that matter. He needs to get a third pitch worth a shit.

[Activated Alpha]

Need to get Mac out of there

[parabrave]

Well shoot.

[BayouDawg]

Lose this series and you can kiss national seed good bye. And hosting becomes iffy as well

[The Federalist Engineer]

Need to have had someone in the bullpen at the beginning of the inning. We all know Mac can?t go deep. Why can?t the coaches?

Yeah, but the defense is putrid.

Landon Jordan was not spectacular but he was very competent

Pop Ups and even ground balls make me nervous

[Commercecomet24]

We've got to play better defense. With a 1B who could stretch and a play at 3B they have zero runs

[Commercecomet24]

That's 3 runs they shouldn't have.

[maroonmania]

We've got to play better defense. With a 1B who could stretch and a play at 3B they have zero runs

Exactly, that was a pitiful display in the field.

[Pinto]

That?s why you bust it out of the box. Terrible effort

[BeardoMSU]

If Hatch had hustled out of the box, he might've gotten there.

[BayouDawg]

Yeah, but the defense is putrid.

Landon Jordan was not spectacular but he was very competent

Pop Ups and even ground balls make me nervous

It seems so shady how the Landon Jordan thing went down. He loses his job because another person sucked at their job. The person that took his job also sucks at this job. But he hits a homer every once in a while so I guess thats all we need

[trob115]

Or if Kam just tosses it home, he at least gets the lead runner at the plate. He's a liability in the field.

I would rather have leggett at 3B and Clark at 1B and roll with it.

[maroonmania]

Hatcher is SLOW

[trob115]

He 100% woulda made it. He quit running half way

[Homedawg]

Seriously, IMO, this is the worst 'Top 10" baseball team I have ever seen at State.

Don't jump....

[Homedawg]

Or if Kam just tosses it home, he at least gets the lead runner at the plate. He's a liability in the field.

I would rather have leggett at 3B and Clark at 1B and roll with it.
Omg

[Lord McBuckethead]

Can we break up the 5-9 hitters? I expect them all to be automatic outs. Other than Allen and Dubrule, have we hit a hard hit today?

[KOdawg1]

A love a pitcher who comes in and pounds the zone. Screw that nibbling BS

[maroonmania]

Don't jump....

Jump where? Watched a lot of MSU baseball over the years and that's my opinion. Everyone is entitled to their own.

[magrooder]

May just need to let Johnson take over in the fourth inning every Friday.

[KOdawg1]

I wish we had 9 Tanner Allens

[Lord McBuckethead]

And 9 rowdy in the field.

[Commercecomet24]

Alright let's get some runs here!

[magrooder]

1st and 3rd with no outs

[Lord McBuckethead]

Time to rocket one Hancock.

[BayouDawg]

Good piece of hitting by James.

[The Federalist Engineer]

No way that Kellum Clark or Pimentel are worse than Hatch. This is nuts.

I guess we will need to wait for Landon Jordan’s book to get a explanation

[magrooder]

Tied up, man on second, one out

[Lord McBuckethead]

Good piece of hitting by James.
Good at bat by Hancock too.

[Commercecomet24]

Hancock smoked that ball dang

[Lord McBuckethead]

And then our 5th batter shits the bed.

[magrooder]

He's safe

[maroonmania]

Missed 2 runs there by about 2 inches. Dang.

[Homedawg]

And 9 rowdy in the field.

What? Rowdey isn't a good cf.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Not a bad at bat by the mule, but he should have been looking fastball pitch one. That thing was served up.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Better than everyone else we have in the field. Dubrule is pretty good at 2b. But that is about it.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Alright....new ball game. Need to get the bats going.

[mparkerfd20]

We are such a frustrating team

[Activated Alpha]

That is the most frustrating thing to watch about our offense. Two on with no outs and we could only scratch one run across. Should have hit it big that inning

[Lord McBuckethead]

Did we just throw a beach ball in the center of the plate 0-2? WTF was that.

[Activated Alpha]

Did we just throw a beach ball in the center of the plate 0-2? WTF was that.

He did

[Irondawg]

If Jordan had stuck it out he might be starting at 3b with Kam at 1b

[Lord McBuckethead]

That is the most frustrating thing to watch about our offense. Two on with no outs and we could only scratch one run across. Should have hit it big that inning

aTm gets two one with 0 outs, they get 3 runs. We do the same, barely get one.

[VandelayIndustries]

Tanner wanted it up, Johnson threw it down the middle

[magrooder]

Had him out by a mile and Forsythe couldn't make the catch

[VandelayIndustries]

The defense is so bad on this team

[BeardoMSU]

Jesus we are awful in the field.

[Activated Alpha]

Son of a bitch defense. I swear

[VandelayIndustries]

Had him out by a mile and Forsythe couldn't make the catch

And then dub rule doesn’t back up at all

[Lord McBuckethead]

And now we will lose the lead because we cannot catch a throw down. 17ing A bulldogs.

[The Federalist Engineer]

That is the most frustrating thing to watch about our offense. Two on with no outs and we could only scratch one run across. Should have hit it big that inning

Bad part of the order. The even badder part is coming up next inning

[magrooder]

That error cost us the lead

[Activated Alpha]

I honestly dont think we make it to Omaha. The pitching can be there, but defense and hitting will knock us out in a super

[BeardoMSU]

and an easy throw out at second turns into a run, lol. **** us.

[BayouDawg]

It will be hard to make it out of a super with defense like this. This is the worst defensive team for state in recent memory.

[maroonmania]

A&M proves that a 2 out RBI hit IS possible.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Had that dude by two steps. Maybe we can teach our catcher to throw it belt high to 2nd.

[Commercecomet24]

4 runs they shouldn't have. Geez

[VandelayIndustries]

It will be hard to make it out of a super with defense like this. This is the worst defensive team for state in recent memory.

Don’t think we make it to a super

[BayouDawg]

Don’t think we make it to a super

I tend to agree

[Lord McBuckethead]

I honestly dont think we make it to Omaha. The pitching can be there, but defense and hitting will knock us out in a super

Yep. We just cannot stop stepping on our own dicks.

[trob115]

4 runs by them all unearned 🤦🏻*♂️ 🤦🏻*♂️

[maroonmania]

It will be hard to make it out of a super with defense like this. This is the worst defensive team for state in recent memory.

Our pitchers are just going to need to start striking everybody out so we don't actually have to play defense.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Ahhh, they earned them by just playing baseball and watching us 17n implode under our own inadequacies

[Commercecomet24]

I'm more concerned about our defense than our hitting. We scrap enough runs together with our pitching to win most games but we've got to improve defensively

[KOdawg1]

Hatcher in pure form tonight

[Lord McBuckethead]

So are we going to start the inning with 2 outs and have no one on base for Rowdy again?

[Activated Alpha]

Honestly why are we continuing to put Hatcher out there?

[BeardoMSU]

Lolz, another strikeout in the dirt for the "we all gonna eat crow" campaign. Holy hell.

[maroonmania]

Watching Hatcher bat is painful. He is batting .192 in college. Imagine what his average would be in the minors?

[magrooder]

That ball bounced halfway from the mound and Hatcher still swung at it

[Commercecomet24]

No exit velo for Hatcher on that ab

[Lord McBuckethead]

I am not sure we should play Hatcher anymore. I really do not see the point. Except everytime he isn't starting we get smoked.

[BeardoMSU]

No exit velo for Hatcher on that ab

He hustled out of the box that time back to the dugout, tho...

Baby steps.

[BayouDawg]

Hatcher doesnt even care anymore. I dont have a lot of patience with the coach continuing to leave him in the lineup. Its beyond ridiculous

[Commercecomet24]

Our 9 hole hitter swings at 2-0 pitch and grounds out

[Lord McBuckethead]

Us starting 3 innings with 2 outs and rowdy coming up is why we are losing this game. That and defense.

[Activated Alpha]

I am not sure we should play Hatcher anymore. I really do not see the point. Except everytime he isn't starting we get smoked.

That?s why we have to sacrifice a chicken to counter the bad juju

[Commercecomet24]

He hustled out of the box that time back to the dugout, tho...

Baby steps.

Yep lol

[BeardoMSU]

Except everytime he isn't starting we get smoked.

anytime we don't play him, we're statistically more likely to get no-hit, lol.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Tanner needs to smoke one. Lets go.

[maroonmania]

So are we going to start the inning with 2 outs and have no one on base for Rowdy again?

Yep, a total waste of our only 2 dependable hitters (Rowdey and TA) having to come up with 2 outs and nobody on.

[The Federalist Engineer]

AM is trying ICE the win. The bullpen Ace is in.

[Activated Alpha]

We are going to lose this game because Hatcher and Forsythe will be up in the 9th again and will give up two outs again. Just watch

[maroonmania]

We are going to lose this game because Hatcher and Forsythe will be up in the 9th again and will give up two outs again. Just watch

If we are in that situation and actually let Hatcher bat we deserve to lose.

[Activated Alpha]

Ballgame

[mparkerfd20]

We just lost to one of the worst teams in the SEC because our defense sucks ass and we can't hit shit.

[maroonmania]

A&M goes yard. This one is about over.

[Activated Alpha]

Get Preston out of there

[CadaverDawg]

Can't lose to teams like this on Friday night and expect to be a National Seed. What a joke. Our starting pitching being "Elite", could end up being the dumbest statement of the year in college baseball. We barely have anybody that can give us 5 innings on a consistent basis. Pitiful.

[maroonmania]

Get Preston out of there

Yep, was surprised they sent him out again. Had a very bad feeling about this game when Cumbest missed a 2 run 2 out single by inches and then struck out.

[bobtail bob]

Too many men left on base. Anti clutch hitting. This hasn’t changed all season. You get your ass beat when you play the next level teams.

[KOdawg1]

Huge blow to our national seed chances

[VandelayIndustries]

First pitch bomb

[Activated Alpha]

Definitely ballgame now

[maroonmania]

THAT was a rope.

[BeardoMSU]

Alright guys, lets go smoke some meth.**

[BayouDawg]

This is embarrassing

[msstate7]

Get EC in the game. Great situation to try and get something out of him

[bobtail bob]

Alright guys, lets go smoke some meth.**

IDK. I guess I could toot some *******

[Homedawg]

Huge blow to our national seed chances

You people are unbearable. If we win 2 we are fine. If we don't ok but we have 3 more weekends. I'm checking out.

[R2Dawg]

We could win all remaining series but we could lose them all too. We just can't get it all together. Our pitching may be good and deep but we are never all on at the same time. About 1/3 have terrible outings every weekend, just different guys. If we can't get that togetther, it doesn't matter if we host or not, we ain't going very far.

Hitting is all over the place.

[BeardoMSU]

toot

You people are unbearable. If we win 2 we are fine. If we don't ok but we have 3 more weekends. I'm checking out.

Buh bye

[Activated Alpha]

A lead off walk usually scores. Except for State it leads to a DP

[KOdawg1]

Let's make some noise at least

[BeardoMSU]

Lol, I'll put the the glass vial down, I guess....

[KOdawg1]

I'm at the ballpark and the exit velo on that had to have been 150 mph. Holy cow

[magrooder]

Logan Tanner with the 3 run blast

[BayouDawg]

Hell yea tanner with the oppo taco. We may still have a chance

[BeardoMSU]

Logan's bat flips are delicious, lol.

[Activated Alpha]

A lead off walk usually scores. Except for State it leads to a DP

Ok I was wrong. Made this game a little more interesting. Still need better ABs because we still losing

[R2Dawg]

Logan Tanner is becoming a really good player.

[R2Dawg]

Logan's bat flips are delicious, lol.

Agree, love it. He's got some IT in him.

[maroonmania]

Well LoTann gets us right back in the game. Just infuriating that with just decent defense we would have a 2 or 3 run lead right now.

[BeardoMSU]

Damn, Brad got that one....wish it would've gotten down.

[maroonmania]

Damn, Brad got that one....wish it would've gotten down.

Yep, 2 near misses for him tonight.

[BeardoMSU]

Nice AB so far from Leggett.

[BeardoMSU]

C'mon Lane....lets do something.

[BeardoMSU]

Let's go Rowdy. Lets do it!

[BayouDawg]

Good hit by lane. Come through for us rowdy

[KOdawg1]

Just the man we want up

[BeardoMSU]

Sacks packed for TA.

[Bdawg]

Make em pay now TA!! Let's go

[Activated Alpha]

Just need a good AB

[BayouDawg]

Their bullpen ace is rattled. Cant let him off the hook

[BeardoMSU]

wow....what luck

[maroonmania]

Man, lost a run because TA didn't get his bat out of the way! Geez.

[BeardoMSU]

Chased their closer tho.

[Commercecomet24]

Wow just wow!

[BeardoMSU]

Man, lost a run because TA didn't get his bat out of the way! Geez.

Yep. Should be tied. Awful luck there.

[Commercecomet24]

That pitcher was shook.

[BayouDawg]

This is not our night. But good teams find ways to scratch out Ws against bad teams

[BayouDawg]

Jeez how many southpaws they got?

[maroonmania]

Yep. Should be tied. Awful luck there.

The normal reaction on a ball that high toward your head would be to bend down and bring the bat down with you. Not us.

[BeardoMSU]

JFC

[mparkerfd20]

Wow

[KOdawg1]

Leggett at first? Didn't see that one coming.

[maroonmania]

And TA strikes out on a ball at his feet. We've had to work hard tonight to still be losing to this team.

[BayouDawg]

That just sucks
This game sucks

[Activated Alpha]

Not a good AB Tanner but at least we made this a game. Again. Just sucks that we always get the bases loaded and do nothing with it

[BayouDawg]

And we put in koesler?
I dunno bout this

[BeardoMSU]

"unclassified grad student" How the hell does that work?

[maroonmania]

Not a good AB Tanner but at least we made this a game. Again. Just sucks that we always get the bases loaded and do nothing with it

Our situational hitting is HORRID. We haven't come through in any of the 2 out hitting situations tonight. And on that one TA can't even think to pull his bat out of the way on a wild pitch that would have gifted us a run.

[Activated Alpha]

Cant be walking people

[BeardoMSU]

lead off walks should result in corporal punishment.

[Activated Alpha]

He cant even throw strikes. Get him out

[maroonmania]

This Koestler deal is not going to work out.

[Commercecomet24]

Don't like koestler in this situation

[VandelayIndustries]

Throw strikes

[Commercecomet24]

lead off walks should result in corporal punishment.

I agree! I don't curse but when my pitchers walked lead off hitters or gave up 0-2 hits it drove me to the brink

[Lord McBuckethead]

Well that was strike 3. Froze everyone even the ump.

[Activated Alpha]

Dont understand our pitching decisions by our coaches

[BayouDawg]

The coaching staff is on drugs

[Lord McBuckethead]

I feel like we are about to walk the first two hitters.

[Activated Alpha]

I feel like we are about to walk the first two hitters.

He didnt

[Bass Chaser]

Sometimes I feel like our coaching staff has had more to drink than me.

[Activated Alpha]

Just please get out of this inning with only being down 1

[BeardoMSU]

I don't curse

No worries. I have enough for both of us, lol.

[Activated Alpha]

Just throw strikes Tullar

[Activated Alpha]

Great pitch. Now guys just take good ABs

[Dawgcap]

Nice job pen!! Let’s go!! Ugly wins count!!!!!

[Lord McBuckethead]

Strong pitching situations there. We need 3 ks in the 9th to get to 10, I think. I missed the7th inning.

[maroonmania]

Game is nearly 3.5 hours old and there is still an inning and a half to go.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Karen James. Watches his only hittable pitch go by right in his wheel house. Dude needs to be in attack mode at the first pitch and let anything off speed go by.

[Activated Alpha]

Kam we cant have you striking out there. Have a good AB

[Lord McBuckethead]

Well, knew that was coming

[Activated Alpha]

Really Kam?

[maroonmania]

Kam, what were you looking for??

[Lord McBuckethead]

Dammit guys, he is throwing straight damn 1st pitch strikes. Get ready and drive it. 0-2 count.....damnit.

[VandelayIndustries]

We gon lose because our defense sucks and TA didn’t bring his bat down

[mparkerfd20]

We just lost. Bottom of lineup will have 3 Ks.

[maroonmania]

Pathetic so far this inning. And we will have the scrubs up in the 9th.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Someone better tell L Tanner he is going to throw a 1st pitch fastball strike.

[R2Dawg]

Karen James. Watches his only hittable pitch go by right in his wheel house. Dude needs to be in attack mode at the first pitch and let anything off speed go by.

He does it all the time. He has been as bad as Hatcher for the past month except for the good game with OM.

[BeardoMSU]

That damn TA foul ball is going to **** us in the end. Jeez.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Well 17 me. Two off speed pitches. Then he pipes down the middle.

[Lord McBuckethead]

3-1 got to be fastball, right? Yep, just cannot handle the pressure.

Bet he starts dubrule with a fastball.

[mparkerfd20]

11 LOB

[BeardoMSU]

Lol, ****ing SEC umps.

[mparkerfd20]

Horrible call

[R2Dawg]

BS strike call, horrible.

[maroonmania]

That ball was inside and low.

[Lord McBuckethead]

That may be the worst called strike I have seen this whole 17n year.

[Lord McBuckethead]

That was ball 4, no 17n doubt about it.

[magrooder]

Holy Hell, what a shitty way to end an inning. That ump needs to be fined and fired.

[Activated Alpha]

That is most likely game with the lineup going into the bottom of the order. Too bad our defense screwed us out of 4 runs

[Lord McBuckethead]

I will lose all respect for Lemons if he doesn't get tossed over that ****inh call.

[BeardoMSU]

Hopefully we pinch hit every batter bot9, lol.

[Activated Alpha]

We better get a makeup call with that

[BeardoMSU]

I will lose all respect for Lemons if he doesn't get tossed over that ****inh call.

I've honestly never seen him angry, lol.

There was that one time he walked to the mound and shooed away all the other infielders, but that's all I can think of.

[R2Dawg]

Boy Ump is sucking big time now.

[BeardoMSU]

**** this ump.

[Activated Alpha]

And we didnt. That was bullshit

[maroonmania]

Unless we have some 9th inning heroics this is going to be the most painful loss of the season.

[KOdawg1]

Lemonis should've gotten ejected. Maybe would've fired up the team

[Lord McBuckethead]

Lemonis is a straight little bitch by not addressing that ump when he walked out there to break it up. Seriously, there would be zero ways I would make it back to the dugout without getting tossed.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Boy Ump is sucking big time now.

We literally throw the same pitch to that batter. He gets the walk.

[Activated Alpha]

Unless we have some 9th inning heroics this is going to be the most painful loss of the season.

Most likely

[Activated Alpha]

Stinnett doesnt get a lot of groundballs so going to have to work around the walk

[maroonmania]

I personally look forward to the day when balls and strikes are called by machines.

[Activated Alpha]

I personally look forward to the day when balls and strikes are called by machines.

Damn Stinnett. Now we are going to have to come from down two runs

[magrooder]

I guess we'll just gift them another f'n run

[BeardoMSU]

Glad we brought Rick Vaughn sans eyewear into the game.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Might as well put this guy on.

[Lord McBuckethead]

I personally look forward to the day when balls and strikes are called by machines.

Or just have an ability to challenge one. That was a ball. No ifs and buts about it.

[Lord McBuckethead]

We going to mess around and wild pitch this guy in.

[Lord McBuckethead]

He should have given us that fastball down. What a piece.

[KOdawg1]

Leggett just earned himself a start at 1b imo

[BeardoMSU]

7 8 and 9 due up....can we ask for volunteers from the crowd to PH, lol.

[Dawgcap]

We are due for 789 to produce 2 and win. Calling it

[Activated Alpha]

Ok guys. What did I tell you? 7, 8, and 9 due up to hit with us down 1. At least Hatcher isn?t in the game. We just need quality ABs so we can turn the lineup over

[BayouDawg]

Lets get 2 and end this bitch

[Lord McBuckethead]

Cumbest. 1st pitch fastball. Get ready.
Good lay off.

Crushed it. 2bagger.

[BeardoMSU]

Brad with the leadoff double! **** yeah!

[magrooder]

Cumbest double down the line

[BayouDawg]

Mule with the double down the left field line. Hes had some good swings tonight and finally something to show for it

[Lord McBuckethead]

Lets get 2 and end this bitch
Yep. Got to get McDouble out there.

[maroonmania]

The mule gets a hold of one!

[BeardoMSU]

Of course he can't get the bunt down.

[parabrave]

Just hit the ball as far as you can

[parabrave]

Good job

[Bdawg]

Way to do a job!! Go yard Rowdy!

[BeardoMSU]

Tied!

Damn, I thought that was gone.

[magrooder]

Tied up.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Good job by the 7-9 hole hitters. Of course if the ump didn't 17 us, that double by Mule would have scored two.

[Dawgcap]

789 produced. Missed by 1 on my call but that means I can drink more!! Haha

[Lord McBuckethead]

Just hit the ball as far as you can


Good job

Yep. Nice work by our bottom guys there. Now we need to get three quick and let Allen and Kamren to end it.

[Activated Alpha]

That ball was crushed by forsythe. I thought it was out for sure

[maroonmania]

We serious about this one now I guess. In comes Sims.
