[CadaverDawg]

Interesting Lineup

[The Federalist Engineer]

Where is Kam James?

[CadaverDawg]

Where is Kam James?

Maybe a night off? I hope it's not injury or discipline.

[VandelayIndustries]

Probably a night off, TA got one a few weeks ago

[EdwardDrayton]

Thank the Lord for some midweek baseball!!

[HoopsDawg]

Looks like they forgot to put their High Def Camera in CF.

[SailingDawg]

Is this the Citadel Radio feed? All he's talking about is the Bulldogs. Which ones?

[RLM38654]

Is there a free trial for ESPN+?

[HoopsDawg]

This pitcher has good stuff. 92 mph fastball, with a nice curve. But we got an unearned run on a hit by Dubrule. 1-0 heading to B1.

[SailingDawg]

Is there a free trial for ESPN+?

I don't think there is.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Great 1st by Cade.

[Homedawg]

Is there a free trial for ESPN+?

No but you can cancel after the month. Cheap game for you.

[Homedawg]

Great 1st by Cade.

He might get lit up next inning, but he's gonna be a really legit guy here. Love how he pitches quickly and has 3 qurality pitches already and typically is going to pound the zone

[somebodyshotmypaw]

I really like sitting James for a game. Tanner gets some needed reps at first, Leggett gets some needed reps at third, and Clark gets some needed at bats. Kam James gets to clear his head.

[KOdawg1]

I'm listening on the radio.

On TA's fly out just then, Polk said "Oh that's out of here" when it came off the bat. Gotta love him.

He?s sick. Logan would be DH?ing if he wasn?t.

[KOdawg1]

So let's say Kam James is out this weekend. Do we DH Kellum Clark? I don't see another option honestly

[BeardoMSU]

I thought it was gone, too, lol. Damn the wind.

[CadaverDawg]

Would love some inning break downs for those of us unable to watch. Thanks in advance

[BayouDawg]

State gets the first 2 in top 3rd but strands both. 2-0 state going to bot 3

[OLJWales]

live stats says 4-0 MSU. bottom of 3rd w/2outs.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

He?s sick. Logan would be DH?ing if he wasn?t.

So if James was playing and Logan was DH, would you have James at 3rd and Legget at 1st?

[BayouDawg]

Case smith retires the side in order. Two flies and one k. Heading to the 4th
4-0 state

[BayouDawg]

live stats says 4-0 MSU. bottom of 3rd w/2outs.

Ah yes it is 4-0. You are correct.

[KOdawg1]

Polk says Cerantola is warming up in the pen.

Here we go.

[Homedawg]

I thought it was gone, too, lol. Damn the wind.

Wind held up a bomb for them too

[Activated Alpha]

Of course Cerantola gives up the run. Dude still can?t consistently throw strikes. I don?t understand how he continues to be wild

[BayouDawg]

Logan tanner with a 2 run smash to left. 6-1 in the 5th still batting

[basedog]

Cade, 29 pitches, 1 hit, 3 So. Not a bad start, glad he got 3 innings, I think Foxhall has been waiting for the right situation which the Citadel isn’t very good. He did what he needed to do.

[KOdawg1]

Padding our HR stats tonight

[BayouDawg]

Cumbest with a moon shot to left for a 2 run homer. 8-1

[BrunswickDawg]

Cade, 29 pitches, 1 hit, 3 So. Not a bad start, glad he got 3 innings, I think Foxhall has been waiting for the right situation which the Citadel isn’t very good. He did what he needed to do.

Great confidence builder - and a great way to make your first career start.

I didn't watch, but it sounded like he did good on the radio. Best thing is no walks.

He's going to be very good for us. I know you're proud

Time will tell his story but two things I know, he is a strike thrower and quick worker.

[SailingDawg]

Great night for some batting practice.

[TNDawg35]

Am I the only one who wishes Bart and Ron would do the baseball radio broadcasts? Jim gets too distracted and it’s just something about it...

[Homedawg]

Great confidence builder - and a great way to make your first career start.

First career win too!! I'm sure he gets it the way we set up the pitching.

[Homedawg]

Jim has about lost it to be honest.

[KOdawg1]

Jim has about lost it to be honest.

Yeah, he's really struggled this year. It especially gets bad when something happens quick. He can't keep up.

[KOdawg1]

I'm of the opinion that Neil Price could call a Nascar race on the radio and make it exciting.

Baseball goes at a completely different pace than football or basketball, but I hope Neil can call baseball games if and when Jim retires.

[BiscuitEater]

First career win too!! I'm sure he gets it the way we set up the pitching.

MSU stats say 3 appearances, 1 win, before tonight.

Correct if I'm wrong but thought Neil called baseball at Kentucky!

[HoopsDawg]

Stinnett decided to work on the slider tonight and it was freaking nasty. That dude is going to make some money in baseball.

[TNDawg35]

That?s who I meant. I have no idea why I said Bart...

[TNDawg35]

You are correct...

[BeardoMSU]

At least the 2nd time the announcer has referred to Lane as "top of the order", lol.

[BeardoMSU]

Aaannnnd Rowdy changed his number from 4 to 8, and TA changed the color of his skin, lol.

[HoopsDawg]

I really like sitting James for a game. Tanner gets some needed reps at first, Leggett gets some needed reps at third, and Clark gets some needed at bats. Kam James gets to clear his head.

I would have rather seen Kellum Clark at 1B with Logan Tanner at DH.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Skinner Ks again. Dude just is totally lost out there.
End of 7 , msu 9-2

[somebodyshotmypaw]

I would have rather seen Kellum Clark at 1B with Logan Tanner at DH.

I understand. But I’m thinking Lemonis wants Tanner getting work in the field. With Hatcher’s lack of hitting, we are looking at options at first base while still keeping the good bats in the lineup. Come super regional and CWS time, Kellum Clark may not be ready for the lineup, but Hatcher may not be hitting either. So Logan Tanner or Leggett are most likely our options at first.

[OLJWales]

Time will tell his story but two things I know, he is a strike thrower and quick worker.

Congrats sir, well done.

[KOdawg1]

Correct if I'm wrong but thought Neil called baseball at Kentucky!
Indeed he did

Tanner isn?t coming out behind the plate unless its an emergency situation. If he wouldn?t have caught 30 innings in roughly 24 hours last wkend he would have been behind the plate tonight.

[magrooder]

I like the way Meche plays the game.

[Homedawg]

MSU stats say 3 appearances, 1 win, before tonight.

I missed the other W. I stand corrected then. Thanks. But I'm sure he's cool w two!

[Homedawg]

We've been catching Hancock almost every mid week game just to rest lotan anyway.

[Homedawg]

I would have rather seen Kellum Clark at 1B with Logan Tanner at DH.

I think that tells you all you need to know. Clark isn't playing first this year wo a major major problem occurs. Covid. Rash of injuries etc

[HoopsDawg]

Yeah, there is no way Logan Tanner is playing 1B in a Super Regional. I would rather Luke Hancock get the reps there. Since Luke is catching tonight, Clark makes more sense. But whatever, no big deal.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

You are absolutely correct. For some reason through these posts I had in my head that Hancock was playing first. I saw Tanner, typed Tanner, knew it was Tanner, but was thinking Hancock.

[Cooterpoot]

I'm of the opinion that Neil Price could call a Nascar race on the radio and make it exciting.

I can't see him calling baseball. He's fine with football, but I would hate to hear him on baseball. He's too ordinary, everyday broadcaster guy to me.

Logan Tanner is one of the best defensive catchers you'll see. He's not moving. It's not even a consideration. Leggett is our 1B now.

[Commercecomet24]

Logan Tanner is one of the best defensive catchers you'll see. He's not moving. It's not even a consideration. Leggett is our 1B now.

Yeah no way in heck do you move Logan. He may be the best defensive catcher in the country.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Logan Tanner is one of the best defensive catchers you'll see. He's not moving. It's not even a consideration. Leggett is our 1B now.

You are totally correct. For some reason as I was posting I had Hancock and Tanner mixed up. Tanner will certainly be the catcher. Brain fart.

[Tbonewannabe]

I didn't watch, but it sounded like he did good on the radio. Best thing is no walks.

He's going to be very good for us. I know you're proud

Looks like a weekend starter for us next year maybe.

[R2Dawg]

Yeah no way in heck do you move Logan. He may be the best defensive catcher in the country.

Yes he is. He will have a good chance in the big league.

[Tbonewannabe]

Yes he is. He will have a good chance in the big league.

Reminds me of Ed Easley maybe with a better arm. He has one more year to get better also.

[Commercecomet24]

Yes he is. He will have a good chance in the big league.

I know I'm biased cause I'm a Dawg but I can only recall a handful(maybe not that many) that were as good defensively as Logan Tanner. Maybe Varitek when he was at Georgia Tech but Logan's one of the best I've ever seen.

He has a chance to be a 1st Round pick next year.

[Commercecomet24]

He has a chance to be a 1st Round pick next year.

I agree. Great defensive catcher with power and a little clutch to him as well. Needs to improve his overall hitting but he's got tools.

[Cooterpoot]

You are totally correct. For some reason as I was posting I had Hancock and Tanner mixed up. Tanner will certainly be the catcher. Brain fart.

Yeah, well, Leggett is likely our 3B, not 1B, so I messed that up too..lol

[The Federalist Engineer]

I agree. Great defensive catcher with power and a little clutch to him as well. Needs to improve his overall hitting but he's got tools.

He throws the ball 100 MPH from the mound, but Lemonis says he cannot locate enough to be a college pitcher. The kid is a Hoss, for sure.

[CadaverDawg]

So he's Cerentola on the mound? Incredible

[Commercecomet24]

I watched him pitch when he was in hs 95-97 and he threw strikes ok but command in sec baseball vs throwing strikes in hs is 2 totally different animals. He definitely has a cannon and he's so good behind the plate. Framing, blocking, receiving, quiet working behind the plate and a leader. Catcher is definitely where he belongs. Hoss is right!

He might be one of the best at framing pitches I have seen in the SEC.

I love catchers that can do that well. I've often wondered how much impact good / bad catchers have on their pitchers.

[State82]

I love catchers that can do that well. I've often wondered how much impact good / bad catchers have on their pitchers.
Over the course of a season I would say it is a noticeable impact. In any particular game with a pitcher really in command and cruising maybe not much. But over 15-20 starts it could be significant.

[Commercecomet24]

I've always found it interesting that when you have a great catcher not many people notice all the subtle things that save pitches, outs and runs but when you have a bad catcher everyone notices.
