dogs vs cocks game 3

[99jc]

dogs go down 1 2 3 in the 1sr

[skadoosh14]

Can't find it on the ESPN app and the link State's baseball Twitter account was to a replay of yesterday. Can someone drop the radio link?

[skadoosh14]

Never mind I found it. Here's the radio link in case anyone is having the same trouble I was:

[Saltydog]

I must be channelinig my inner KODawg or MSSTATE7 because I have a bad feeling about this game for some reason. This bunch is better than we've seen this weekend and we are getting their Friday night guy on a Sunday.

[99jc]

fristoe threw pretty good in the 1st

[State82]

All good though. We have accomplished the task at hand. Today is just the icing.

[CadaverDawg]

Fristoe has really struggled more lately with command than he did early in the season it seems like. Seems like he is trying to throw his fastball too hard and losing control of it. If he would take a little off and work on command he'd be lights out

[99jc]

i agree

[parabrave]

LT and scotty get it going. If it stands. Men on 1st and 2nd. 2 outs

[CadaverDawg]

Fristoe just kills us with the free passes

[StarkVegasSteve]

Looks like it's going to be another short outing for Fristoe. Probably time we look to Harding to take the ball on Sunday.

[DownwardDawg]

Looks like it's going to be another short outing for Fristoe. Probably time we look to Harding to take the ball on Sunday.

I agree. Time to move on from Fristoe starting.

[State82]

Looks like it's going to be another short outing for Fristoe. Probably time we look to Harding to take the ball on Sunday.

Yep.

[CadaverDawg]

95 belt high gets jacked in this league, Fristoe. Gotta learn to keep the ball down, son.

[99jc]

lemonis is hard headed on starting harding on sunday

[Saltydog]

I'll say it for millionth time, Harding should be our Sunday starter. Fristoe is going to be a good one but he's got to get a third pitch. He's not ready for this competition.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Well are we 9 batters in the cycle now ... It’s dangerous to let Fristoe keep going.

Just one hit! 2 run homer

Hopefully we get Houston next inning

[DownwardDawg]

Need to score some runs here and be ready to make the pitching change.
Good to see more folks posting in the thread today. I've been swamped at work for the Friday and Saturday game. Everyone else must have been busy too. I had to keep checking ESPN app for scores. Not much on the game threads.

[State82]

I'll say it for millionth time, Harding should be our Sunday starter. Fristoe is going to be a good one but he's got to get a third pitch. He's not ready for this competition.

No, he is not. He needs to be groomed for next year but we cannot depend on him as the third starter going forward. It is about to become nut cutting time very soon.

[99jc]

i wish kellum clark would turn into Will.

[msstate7]

That was bad, Forsythe

[99jc]

I swear Forsthye takes strike 1 every at bat ist pitch

[msstate7]

We took the bat out of our best hitter's hands

[State82]

Way to take the DP out of play.

[msstate7]

Really good AB. Like driving it oppo

[99jc]

that's all right we got 1 back

[99jc]

Fristoe gets behind in counts way too much

[99jc]

i would pull him now

[CadaverDawg]

Fristoe with another walk that will score. Just can't have this with a starter. Fristoe has been getting too much leash with too little improvement on his command

[mparkerfd20]

Fristoe sux in comparison to all the other arms we have. Why Lemonis continues to trot him out on Sundays is beyond me.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Why oh why give away this inning when we supposedly have this big deep pen

[Activated Alpha]

He loses this batter and he has to be out. Got to go Harding now. Hopefully we can continue to get quality ABs

[CadaverDawg]

I understand Lemonis knowing he's a future stud starter for us, but his lack of improvement week to week is a bit frustrating

[99jc]

this inning can mean the game better pull him no more runs

[State82]

This is ridiculous

[mparkerfd20]

This is pissing me off

[BeardoMSU]

We always wait a batter too late with him. Yank his ass.

[99jc]

i will be suprised if we get out of this

[magrooder]

Fristoe is over 60 pitches in the third inning

[msstate7]

I'd let that end his day

[mparkerfd20]

W T F. Don't let him pitch to this batter you DA.

[99jc]

64 pitches after 3

[Activated Alpha]

We got lucky. So did Lemonis with that gamble of leaving Fristoe out there

[CadaverDawg]

They're trying to groom him, not bail him out every time he's in Trouble. I get it. Maybe he will settle in and throw strikes now that he knows he's not getting a bail out every time he walks a few. We'll see. I like it since it worked haha

[Bdawg]

I'd let that end his day

Yeah. Getting pretty erratic

[basedog]

They're trying to groom him, not bail him out every time he's in Trouble. I get it. Maybe he will settle in and throw strikes now that he knows he's not getting a bail out every time he walks a few. We'll see. I like it since it worked haha

Exactly. His command is off but he did dig in and battle.

[CadaverDawg]

Mule has cooled

[CadaverDawg]

Clark is a hitter! A pulled triple and an oppo single. I love it

[msstate7]

3-0 to forsythe. If be losing my mind if I were a SC fan

[CadaverDawg]

Man I wish they'd walk Forsythe

[99jc]

polky lookin old

[KOdawg1]

Terrible call

[msstate7]

College umps. Sure he caught that in zone, but that's not where it crossed plate

[magrooder]

What a bullshit called third strike

[99jc]

bullshit ump

[Bulldog1]

Bad call

[CadaverDawg]

That is atrocious. I swear, these umps should be reprimanded for shit like that

[Bdawg]

Good grief ump!! Even the catcher caught it at the top of the zone and it was a looping curve. BS.

[99jc]

were gonna win this game I'm telling ya

[Homedawg]

Bad call

Beyond bad. Was up AND in. Really bad

[CadaverDawg]

It's one thing to make a horrid call like that with nobody on and 2 outs, but with the bases loaded??! Gimme a break, you f'n clown

[Activated Alpha]

I that was the worst called third strike I?ve seen us had in a long time. Now way did they cross the plate in the zone. I highly doubt we will get the return favor.

[bobtail bob]

Crossed the plate chest high

[CadaverDawg]

I would have gotten tossed on that call if I was coach. Did Lemonis even complain?

[State82]

Nothing you can do about incompetence in umpiring. It has always been a problem and will be a problem to eternity unless an electronic/digital type system for balls/strikes is ever implemented.

[99jc]

harding we got our wish

[Quaoarsking]

Case in point number 10 trillion why we need to use cameras and call balls and strikes automatically.

[KOdawg1]

Are you freaking kidding me???

[trob115]

This umpire behind the dish is straight trash

[CadaverDawg]

Oh my gosh! That's a BALL???!!

[Activated Alpha]

Told you we wouldn?t get the return favor. Strike 3 called a ball

[KOdawg1]

These umps must want automated strike zones. That's the only explanation I can come up to as to why they're so terrible

[Activated Alpha]

Come on Harding. Need you to get into a groove

[CadaverDawg]

Bloop single and a BS HBP and suddenly we're in trouble again

[KOdawg1]

My heart skipped a beat

[CadaverDawg]

Whew! Way to battle Houston!

See what continuing to throw strikes gets you, Fristoe. It's not about MPH, it's about location and mixing pitches

[Activated Alpha]

Alright guys, middle innings. We need to get some quality ABs and score runs. Cannot leave it in the hands of the umpire behind the plate because it is clear he will 17 us

[KOdawg1]

TA just crushed the shit out out of that

[The Federalist Engineer]

Tanner Allen - Dayum Boy!

He?s going to make two all Decade teams

2011-2020

2021-2030

[BeardoMSU]

TA is a bad dude.

[99jc]

BOOM

[99jc]

WE IN THE BULLPEN NOW

[KOdawg1]

Here's their best pitcher I think

[BeardoMSU]

Here's their best pitcher I think

I hope he brought a pillow to bite on, then...

[99jc]

we lets counter with sims.....wishful thinking

[KOdawg1]

LoTan is such a shit talker

[KOdawg1]

Piss poor at-bat by Cumbest. Absolutely piss poor

[Homedawg]

Cumbest yuck

[99jc]

damn mule 17d us

[VandelayIndustries]

Piss poor at-bat by Cumbest. Absolutely piss poor

Yep. Awful

[Activated Alpha]

Didn?t like cumbest batting there. I knew we wouldn?t get anything with the bases juiced

[Saltydog]

Cumbest is NOT who you want at the plate in this situation. Well, I'm surprised he hit it.

[KOdawg1]

Just pathetic. Gotta swing the damn bat.

[Commercecomet24]

College umps behind the plate are absolutely horrible.

[99jc]

we had our chance just couldn't do it

[mparkerfd20]

Swing the bat!!!!! All 3 of those were clearly strikes.

[DownwardDawg]

Watched some really good pitches. Terrible AB

[Activated Alpha]

This season I hate it when we have the bases loaded. It is like we are cursed and can?t do anything with it

[Bdawg]

Didn?t like cumbest batting there. I knew we wouldn?t get anything with the bases juiced

We have become terrible with bases loaded. I can't remember the last time I've seen someone rip a ball with bases loaded and 2 outs.

[Bdawg]

College umps behind the plate are absolutely horrible.

Beyond pathetic now.

[State82]

It is just not our day. You cannot win with at bats like we have had and a completely incompetent plate umpire.

[Commercecomet24]

We have become terrible with bases loaded. I can't remember the last time I've seen someone rip a ball with bases loaded and 2 outs.

Kam did it Friday night

[trob115]

This camera crew is having a bad day. Miss half of what happens

[msstate7]

College umps behind the plate are absolutely horrible.

Mlb ones are struggling too. Wish they'd go electronic strike zone.

[Bdawg]

Kam did it Friday night

Good to know. I missed some of that game. But we have wasted a lot of bases loaded situations lately.

[Commercecomet24]

Good to know. I missed some of that game.

But you are right it's been few and far between this year with bases loaded. Although we have done fairly well with our clutch hitting this year.

[trob115]

Ump is still trash

[99jc]

ump needs ass whooped. Very inconsistent

[Bulldog1]

Bout time Lemonis

[99jc]

lemononis needs to show his ass

[Bulldog1]

But ump is on power trip.

[KOdawg1]

Not good. There goes our pitch caller

[99jc]

foxhall knows the ump sucks

[Bdawg]

Bout time somebody got tossed!! Maybe Lemonis told him too!!! Ha ha.

[EdwardDrayton]

Pretty sure I’ve never seen a pitching coach get tossed.

[trob115]

How does a second base umpire toss someone in the dugout? He couldn't possibly know who said what

[The Federalist Engineer]

Umpire is total idiot. Foxhall a hero

[mparkerfd20]

F these umps. All of them.

[Bdawg]

F these umps. All of them.

Seconded!!

[99jc]

guys were gonna win this despite the umps going in dry on us

[Commercecomet24]

F these umps. All of them.

Yep been brutal today

[Homedawg]

How does a second base umpire toss someone in the dugout? He couldn't possibly know who said what
Rabbit ears

[KOdawg1]

BALL DON'T LIE

[BeardoMSU]

Crushed.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Funny two grandpas chasing and fighting for the home run ball

[99jc]

that was an ankle strike call total horse feathers

[EdwardDrayton]

This home plate ump is killin’ me with his version of balls and strikes.

[KOdawg1]

1391486222346842114

[99jc]

guys we might see sims in the 9th if it stays close and we have the lead

[KOdawg1]

Don't quite get this. Thought you could've gotten a little more out of Harding, but in a one run game, it looks like we don't want them to get comfortable

[VandelayIndustries]

Stinnet no where close

[VandelayIndustries]

Back to the bullpen

[KOdawg1]

You better have a quick leash before we lose this game. I don't get this at all.

He just walked and hit the 8 and 9 hitters

[Bdawg]

Lead off walk makes me want to go yank out all that hair!! Come on. Now he plunks him. My goodness, throw strikes!!!

[VandelayIndustries]

He’s going to Walk the bases loaded

[KOdawg1]

This is on Lemonis.

[VandelayIndustries]

Awful

[99jc]

now Stinnet is 17 up

[Bdawg]

Stinnett fixing to single handedly lose the lead.

[Bdawg]

Roll a DP. Let's go.

[Saltydog]

Stinnett doesn't look comfortable out there at all. Looks like he's aiming it.

[msstate7]

That was a back breaker

[BrunswickDawg]

And Skinny Powers pitches out of the jam!

[KOdawg1]

That was completely unnecessary but I'll take it. They're going to cash in on that eventually.

[VandelayIndustries]

Sorry I doubted you Stinnett

[parabrave]

Parker you owe him a drink

[BeardoMSU]

Facial, Lafleur! Total facial!

[VandelayIndustries]

Need some breathing room

[Bdawg]

That was completely unnecessary but I'll take it. They're going to cash in on that eventually.

We should be cashing bases loaded in more ourselves too.

[Commercecomet24]

Rabbit ears

Lol this.

[The Federalist Engineer]

I’m not there now, but SC fans are really cool to visiting fans. Recommend.

I used to live nearby but folks complemented my MSU swag. They assumed I drove all the way from Starkville or something

[99jc]

dont give Stinnet to much credit he created that monster just got lucky..i hope they pull him now

[99jc]

throw strikes you idiot

[KOdawg1]

Stone was absolutely filthy

[BeardoMSU]

Stone looking great.

[BeardoMSU]

Stone was absolutely filthy

That slider was clown shoeing SC's batters, lol.

[99jc]

Georgia leading Arky 3-2 in the 6th

[Saltydog]

C'mon Simmons. Don't walk the leadoff batter.

[KOdawg1]

May have already been mentioned, but the Vandy-Bama game got canceled and it won't be made up, so if we hold on in this one, we'll go half a game up on Vandy in the standings. That's pretty huge because we can't be tied with them, so that's just one less team we'd have to share it with potentially

[KOdawg1]

We have let this 9 hole hitter on base entirely too much today

[Saltydog]

AND there ya go with Hancock at first. I don't like it, I just don't. He's just way too inexperienced over there. Hope it doesn't costs us here because they have the top of their order coming up.

[CadaverDawg]

AND there ya go with Hancock at first. I don't like it, I just don't. He's just way too inexperienced over there. Hope it doesn't costs us here because they have the top of their order coming up.

What happened? I had to tune out

[99jc]

yeah but that throw sucked also

[KOdawg1]

AND there ya go with Hancock at first. I don't like it, I just don't. He's just way too inexperienced over there. Hope it doesn't costs us here because they have the top of their order coming up.

I'd rather deal with the occasional error instead of Hatcher's bat. Just my opinion

[99jc]

another 17ig error on hancock

[KOdawg1]

What happened? I had to tune out

Had the third out to end the inning, but Leggett threw it low and Hancock couldn't handle it

[trob115]

Got to have a better throw from James , but Hancock has got to handle that

[CadaverDawg]

Had the third out to end the inning, but Leggett threw it low and Hancock couldn't handle it

Thanks. Not good. Hope we get out of it

[Saltydog]

A high hopper to Leggett and he had to make a quick throw and threw it in the dirt and Hancock couldn't come up with it. The "E" was on Leggett but just about every starting 1B in this league would've made the dig.

[99jc]

this inning should be over jeez and eister coming up.

[starkvegasdawg]

A&M with a slam in the 7th to take lead over the plantation 6-5.

[Cowbell]

another 17ig error on hancock

Error was on Leggett

[99jc]

we get outta this i will be amazed

[99jc]

would not have pulled Simmons

[99jc]

Error was on Leggett

they said hancock.figures

[KOdawg1]

BOOM

[99jc]

throw strikes

[BrunswickDawg]

Johnson with the nut cutter!

[99jc]

Holy snikes

[Offshore Dawg]

At least the E didn't bite that Dawgs ass

[bobtail bob]

That pitch was filthy

[Saltydog]

I don't think aTm can hold the lead. They don't have enough pitching in the back end of that bullpen and the Rebs can swing the sticks. How many times have we seen them come from behind in these situations this year? Several I know of.

[KOdawg1]

I don't understand why we're watching a game with the commentators on the screen. I can hear their voice. That's all that matters.

[mparkerfd20]

Holy cow both of those 3rd strikes were balls

[99jc]

horse shit ump

[KOdawg1]

A&M just got a huge bases loaded double play to keep the lead over OM. They're three outs away from a series win.

[BeardoMSU]

A&M just got a huge bases loaded double play to keep the lead over OM. They're three outs away from a series win.

Ark just went up 4-3 on Georgia.

[99jc]

Arky back up on dawgs 4-3

[EdwardDrayton]

Can the second base ump toss the home plate ump?!!? <sigh>

[99jc]

if we win this game we will win the world series

[BeardoMSU]

Lolz at this ump.

[Saltydog]

Anyone else here feeling a little nervous? Maybe it's just me.....

[BeardoMSU]

Here we go.

[VandelayIndustries]

Anyone else here feeling a little nervous? Maybe it's just me.....

Nervous, feel a walk off coming

[KOdawg1]

I think I've seen this movie before

[99jc]

17 these error holy christ

[mparkerfd20]

We lose 4-3 on a HR?

[99jc]

Sims should be pitching

[Saltydog]

And Clark is the guy to do it too.....

[CadaverDawg]

Wes Clarke walkoff incoming

[VandelayIndustries]

Cam Tullar time

[Saltydog]

I don't have a whole lot of confidence in Johnson. He was lights out early in the year but the last half of the season he's been hit.

[mparkerfd20]

I have zero confidence our head coach is smart enough to win a world series. Put Sims in geesh!!!!

[99jc]

Cam Tullar = loss ......Sims should be pitching i dont give a 17 if he pitched 30 pitches.

[Bulldog1]

So we gonna get barely over 1 inning out of the best reliever in college baseball this weekend??? Ok...

[CadaverDawg]

So we gonna get 1 inning out of the best reliever in college baseball this weekend??? Ok...

2

[VandelayIndustries]

He pitched 2 but I get it , that helps

[Bulldog1]

2

Still not enough

[CadaverDawg]

Luckily we have Hatcher and Leggett's bats instead of Hancock and Kam's if it goes to extras. Face palm

[VandelayIndustries]

Well ballgame

[Bulldog1]

Luckily we have Hatcher and Leggett's bats instead of Hancock and Kam's if it goes to extras. Face palm

I will be shocked if we get out of this

[Bdawg]

Bouncing grounder has eyes. Damnit.

[mparkerfd20]

I'm not a Lemonis fan.

[Saltydog]

This one is gonna sting a little.

[msstate7]

We gotta take the kids glove off sims some. We need more innings from him

[KOdawg1]

We played it safe, and it cost us

[Saltydog]

We need swing and miss stuff right here. I know it sounds crazy but I'd bring in Cerantola. If he walks him then you still have the bases loaded.

[CadaverDawg]

Shouldn't have lost this one. Takes the excitement out of what should have been a great weekend. We are Mississippi State, things were going too great this weekend

[VandelayIndustries]

Cerantola would throw a WP

[WinningIsRelentless]

Cam Tullar = loss ......Sims should be pitching i dont give a 17 if he pitched 30 pitches.

If you knew everything you wouldn?t. So just leave it at that.

[Bulldog1]

Sims has been misused all year long... and it doesn't look like that's gonna change.

[Bdawg]

Guess Lemonis not worried about SEC championship.

[msstate7]

Guess Lemonis not worried about SEC championship.

Eh, we in good shape regardless how this turns out

[State82]

This is on all the completely shitty AB's. We will not go far with the plate performance today.

[BeardoMSU]

Whew...wish we would've let Sims close it, tho.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Heckuva job Brandon Smith

[CadaverDawg]

Wow! Big stones on Smith

[KOdawg1]

To extras we go..

On the bright side, OM just lost a series to A&M

[Bulldog1]

Can't believe we got out of that.

Now let's score here

[CadaverDawg]

This is on all the completely shitty AB's. We will not go far with the plate performance today.

Yep

[Bdawg]

Eh, we in good shape regardless how this turns out

Well don't act like this game wouldn't help

[bobtail bob]

If we can somehow get back ahead bring in Sims and let’s go home. That inning was not managed well asset wise if you ask me

[CadaverDawg]

Once again, super glad we have Hatcher and Leggett instead of Hancock and James in the lineup now. That could cost us

[The Federalist Engineer]

25 runners left on base today, 15 by SC

The staff has done a job today, not a super crisp day, but 3 runs in 9 innings is not bad

[Bdawg]

Well we got some weaker bats in the line up now. Maybe we can push one across this inning and go home.

[Activated Alpha]

I?m ok with Sims not pitching because we have the series. Would a sweep be awesome? Of course, but I want Sims be able to go deep in post season. If that was game 3 of the regional then I would go Sims. However this game will be lost on the bats. Terrible ABs this game and couldn?t capitalize with bases loaded. We need quality ABs and score some runs here

[State82]

25 runners left on base today, 15 by SC

The staff has done a job today, not a super crisp day, but 3 runs in 9 innings is not bad

That is superb on Sunday. That is not and has never been the issue with this bunch.

[VandelayIndustries]

We can’t hit this guy from SC

[CadaverDawg]

We need quality ABs and score some runs here

Totally agree

[Bdawg]

That's chin high!!

[CadaverDawg]

We can’t hit this guy from SC

Helps when the ump won't allow him to throw a ball

[Bdawg]

There you go Skinner.

[VandelayIndustries]

Did he miss 1st?

[Bdawg]

Did he miss 1st?

Surely not but still a bad job of hitting the bag correctly.

[CadaverDawg]

I think he missed 1st, but not enough to overturn possibly?

[VandelayIndustries]

Come on Forsyth

[The Federalist Engineer]

We can?t hit this guy from SC

We are facing the SC closer. They have been storing the best. Other games were blowouts

[CadaverDawg]

Damn, Forsythe up.

[KOdawg1]

Forsythe wanted no part of that AB.

[CadaverDawg]

Freaking Forsythe.
