Pretty sure you are the devil....

[magrooder]

Wow.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Still in Hoover

[Rex54]

I'm sure they've been practicing nothing but RHP sliders the last day. Should've never announced Bednar was the SP until gametime.

[preachermatt83]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahha

[Thick]

Great call Matt!

[preachermatt83]

Would you guys like me to tell you how the rest of this is gonna go?

[KOdawg1]

Is it just me or are our hats a different shade of maroon than our jerseys?

[Commercecomet24]

Would you guys like me to tell you how the rest of this is gonna go?

Heck if you're that accurate might as well lol

[Rex54]

Would you guys like me to tell you how the rest of this is gonna go?

We win 9-1

[Percho]

USM up 1-0 first and second no outs

[SilentSteel16]

Are you able to watch the game on ESPN app?

[magrooder]

Rowdey reaches second on an error

[BeardoMSU]

I'll take that, lol.

[SilentSteel16]

I have espnplus but it is not selectable when I click the game

[Irondawg]

We have to lead the league in getting on based on misplayed fly balls - seems that's happened a lot this year.

How did the scorer rule that hit btw - that's an error all day

[KOdawg1]

Two lucky breaks in a row. I'll take it

[magrooder]

I have espnplus but it is not selectable when I click the game

The game is on ESPN3, I don't think they are the same

[RocketDawg]

Are you able to watch the game on ESPN app?

Yes, but as always it's delayed considerably from the radio broadcast.

[magrooder]

Tied up with one out

[Irondawg]

James looks so uncomfortable at the plate these days - just looks completely off-balance but got the job done there.

[RocketDawg]

The game is on ESPN3, I don't think they are the same

They're not the same. ESPN+ is about $5/month. ESPN3 or whatever you want to call it is free as long as you have ESPN on your cable or satellite provider. You have to have some way to get streaming though - a Roku, a Roku TV, an app for your television (probably a very rare occasion), or a Firestick or other streaming device. You can also watch the game on your computer or tablet.

[KOdawg1]

We're still sleepwalking like we were in Hoover.

[preachermatt83]

Logan Tanner has gone to crap

[PMDawg]

Wow, a couple of really poor at bats against a mediocre pitcher to end the inning there. I was hoping we would have cleaned that up some.

[magrooder]

Wasted an opportunity to take the lead

[BuckyIsAB****]

Tanner is so non chalant he doesnt play with a lot of give a shit. He didnt even run to 2nd one time in Hoover.

[PMDawg]

Looks like Bednar is off again too. Missing spots badly.

[parabrave]

Are you able to watch the game on ESPN app?

Game is being Streamed on HailState.

[Irondawg]

well shoot - glad we got the one but we didn't have many good swings that inning.

I've not watched us a lot this year as I've usually just had to follow on the phone or listen to Jim, but some of our guys really have unusual stances.

[BeardoMSU]

Leadoff HBP for Will.

[RocketDawg]

Wasted an opportunity to take the lead

Absolutely. The way Samford was fielding we probably should have scored at least 5 or 6 runs.

[PMDawg]

He threw 5 balls to that dude and got a K

[BeardoMSU]

That was a fortunate strike call...

[parabrave]

Good dam pitch on that strike 3

[KOdawg1]

That was a fortunate strike call...

We're benefitting from a lot of luck so far. Hope we ultimately don't need it

[BeardoMSU]

Whew, Will really needed that DP.

[magrooder]

Double play to end the inning, but Bednar has thrown 32 pitches in two innings

[KOdawg1]

Didn't throw that many pitches. Good inning

[BeardoMSU]

New Jersey Institute of Tits and Ass up 2-0 on Ark, top2. Already chased Ark's starter.

[magrooder]

Cumbest reaches on an error, (unless they call it a hit, too)

[BeardoMSU]

Another lucky bounce, and Brad with the leadoff.

[preachermatt83]

Cumbest can fly

[BeardoMSU]

There we go Kellum! Runners at the corners, no outs. Lets do this!

[magrooder]

Clark singles, runners on the corners with no outs for Forsythe

[BeardoMSU]

Great...

[magrooder]

Crappy base running by Cumbest to make the first out at home

[KOdawg1]

I knew as soon as he hit it that Brad was going home. Just seemed like something Brad would do

[Commercecomet24]

Bad bad baserunning with no outs. geez.

[Rex54]

****ing retards on the bases

[VandelayIndustries]

Is Cumbest for real there

[BuckyIsAB****]

What a stupid ass decision

[99jc]

Forsythe kills us

[PMDawg]

I knew as soon as he hit it that Brad was going home. Just seemed like something Brad would do

Lol

[VandelayIndustries]

Come on TA

[KOdawg1]

Drive the ball. Stop slapping the ball. We're very fortunate right now

[magrooder]

Bases loaded, one out for Tanner

[preachermatt83]

Why in the literal crap would we send cumbest there?!??

[Offshore Dawg]

Good for us they suck at fielding

[VandelayIndustries]

Why in the literal crap would we send cumbest there?!??

That’s on Cumbest

[KOdawg1]

Why in the literal crap would we send cumbest there?!??

I don't think anyone sent Cumbest except Cumbest

[magrooder]

Why in the literal crap would we send cumbest there?!??

I doubt he was "sent", he probably just ran on the contact

[VandelayIndustries]

Wow

[BeardoMSU]

Weak sauce. Jesus.

[magrooder]

Dang Tanner

[Rex54]

Why in the literal crap would we send cumbest there?!??

Bruh..

[Rex54]

At least this umpire doesn't give 6 inches off the plate like most.

[KOdawg1]

We're lucky these dudes suck

[Commercecomet24]

these announcers suck by the way.

[BeardoMSU]

So far luck has been our friend. A run gets walked in. We need to wake tf up, though.

[magrooder]

I'm shocked that James would take the walk, but 2-1 Dawgs

[Commercecomet24]

Sometimes all it takes is a few breaks to get you rolling.

[BeardoMSU]

Atta boy, Luke! 4-1 Dawgs.

[VandelayIndustries]

That a baby

[Rex54]

0-2 in Hoover, reset mentally and physically, showing up now.

4-1 good guys!

[magrooder]

Hancock with the two run single

[BeardoMSU]

They tried to **** that up, lol. Keep making errors, Samford. Pretty please.

[BeardoMSU]

0-2 in Hoover, reset mentally and physically, showing up now.

4-1 good guys!

I'm very glad we're winning, but it's been way more them sucking balls than us "showing up".

[preachermatt83]

Big big inning for us right there

[KOdawg1]

0-2 in Hoover, reset mentally and physically, showing up now.

4-1 good guys!

I mean we really aren't showing up yet. They just suck

[BeardoMSU]

C'mon, Will. Lets get a quick 123.

[SilentSteel16]

If only the swag counted for hits? BTW this ump sucks

[PMDawg]

Bednar settling in finally.

[BeardoMSU]

Come on Tanner. Gotta catch that.

[PMDawg]

Allen having a rough game. Maybe he needs to stop trying to look so cool and just play baseball.

[mparkerfd20]

Allen is off his game today. Should've caught that and had a chance at the HR ball.

[KOdawg1]

Much needed 1-2-3 inning

[BeardoMSU]

good inning, Will.

[Rex54]

Allen is off his game today. Should've caught that and had a chance at the HR ball.

Low IQ take.

[KOdawg1]

Allen having a rough game. Maybe he needs to stop trying to look so cool and just play baseball.

He's the SEC POY. He's earned the right to look like he wants.

[magrooder]

Bednar settled in that inning, hopefully he's getting comfortable

[BuckyIsAB****]

0-2 in Hoover, reset mentally and physically, showing up now.

4-1 good guys!

We get it you hate Hoover

[PMDawg]

Odd time for the first drag bunt of the season.

[PMDawg]

He's the SEC POY. He's earned the right to look like he wants.

I guess. But, honestly, he kind of looks like a douchebag. But, hey, he's about to get paid cause he's mashed the ball for us, so you're right.

[BeardoMSU]

Looked safe in real time.

[magrooder]

Don't see them overturning the call

[PMDawg]

Looked safe in real time.

Yep, but looks out by a few inches on replay.

[BeardoMSU]

Yep, but looks out by a few inches on replay.

Yep.

[KOdawg1]

New Jersey Tech 3, Arky 0

[99jc]

is anyone else having buffering problems?

[PMDawg]

Ok, I'm still in commercials like 5 minutes after we finished our last AB. What's going on?

[Percho]

what happened?

[preachermatt83]

New Jersey Tech 3, Arky 0

https://media.giphy.com/media/b8RQzkElbBsXqEPF2X/giphy.gif

While wicklander is on the bench.

[preachermatt83]

Ok, I'm still in commercials like 5 minutes after we finished our last AB. What's going on?

Was for me too. Get out of it and back in. That worked for me

[preachermatt83]

Bednar dealing!

[BeardoMSU]

a good couple innings in a row for Will.

[99jc]

automatic out coming with Forsyth leading off

[PMDawg]

Arkansas with the 2 run jack.

Bednar in a groove now.

[magrooder]

Apparently a good inning for Bednar, i missed half of it

[VandelayIndustries]

New Jersey Tech 3, Arky 0

https://media.giphy.com/media/b8RQzkElbBsXqEPF2X/giphy.gif

Hogs will win 12-3

[VandelayIndustries]

Apparently a good inning for Bednar, i missed half of it

Same here

[KOdawg1]

I really want our bats to get going.

I don't want little dribblers that barely get through or dropped pop flys. I want smoked line drives. We've got to get our bats going if we want to go deep in this thing.

[BeardoMSU]

I really want our bats to get going.

I don't want little dribblers that barely get through or dropped pop flys. I want smoked line drives. We've got to get our bats going if we want to go deep in this thing.

Rowdy heard you, lol.

[BeardoMSU]

Lol, Rowdy. Smart play.

[PMDawg]

Another weak AB by Allen, but Rowdy bails him out.

[BeardoMSU]

Another weak AB by Allen, but Rowdy bails him out.

Yep.

[KOdawg1]

I'll take that.

[BeardoMSU]

Kam at least hit one hard.

[BeardoMSU]

USF-Fla has resumed. USF leads 4-2 top7.

[preachermatt83]

Cam seeded that one. Just at someone.

[BuckyIsAB****]

For all the hate forysthe gets he has been just as good or not better than Tanner and James lately

[BeardoMSU]

At least it was a solo shot....

[KOdawg1]

https://media.giphy.com/media/IYIlvuWc21U4g/giphy.gif

[preachermatt83]

Did they just say that Kobbs is pitching now for arky.

[BiscuitEater]

USF-Fla has resumed. USF leads 5-2, STILL top7.

[PMDawg]

And the Bednar melt begins.

[BeardoMSU]

Did they just say that Kobbs is pitching now for arky.

Yep.

[preachermatt83]

Uh oh

[KOdawg1]

They're tee'ing off on his slider. It's not fooling anybody

[BeardoMSU]

Here we go.

[BeardoMSU]

We'd be out of it without the error.....shit.

[KOdawg1]

We'd be out of it without the error.....shit.

Funny how those always come back around

[PMDawg]

Bednar melts so fast you can't even pull him because there's no one in the bull pen when you need to.

[KOdawg1]

Take the damn undershirt off if it's bothering you so bad

[BeardoMSU]

Gonna need to score some damn runs.

[Commercecomet24]

Love how these announcers keep saying Samford's not scared. Heck at this level nobodys scared of anybody. geez.

[KOdawg1]

This needs to be his last inning

[preachermatt83]

Why In the world not just get the out between 1-2

[RocketDawg]

If the run had scored before the tag on the guy hung up between 1st and 2nd, it would have counted.

[PMDawg]

This sport....a guy so fat he can't even button his jersey has 15 HRs on the season. Smh.

Bednar sat him down though.

[BeardoMSU]

We sure do love to make it difficult, lol.

[KOdawg1]

Get some more damn runs because no lead is safe

[preachermatt83]

Way to battle through it bednar

[Commercecomet24]

If the run had scored before the tag on the guy hung up between 1st and 2nd, it would have counted.

Yeah you can't risk giving up the run there.

[Dawg2003]

I actually trust some of our guys in the pen more than our starters.

[RocketDawg]

This sport....a guy so fat he can't even button his jersey has 15 HRs on the season. Smh.

Bednar sat him down though.

Hey ....! **

[BeardoMSU]

This sport....a guy so fat he can't even button his jersey has 15 HRs on the season. Smh.

Bednar sat him down though.

[BeardoMSU]

FSU tied it up with USM. 2-2, top6.

[PMDawg]

Haha

[BeardoMSU]

Leadoff knock for Luke. Their pen warming up.

[PMDawg]

This guy is done too. We need to rough him up real quick

[PMDawg]

And LoTan bails him out. Geez what a slump he's in.

[BeardoMSU]

Jeez, Logan.

[magrooder]

Way to let him off the hook

[KOdawg1]

He doesn't even look like he gives a shit

[Cooterpoot]

Our approach at the plate is trash. Do we have a hitting coach? Because he needs to be on some asses (not like Canz on an ass though).

[BuckyIsAB****]

Guys Logan Tanner is a problem

[PMDawg]

Wow. Our hitting sucks right now.

[bobtail bob]

Shit slap hitting

[RocketDawg]

Announcer sorta making fun of Starkville again.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Put Hancock at catcher and Clark at 1st get him out. He is in the same boat as legget

[Johnson85]

And LoTan bails him out. Geez what a slump he's in.

Yup. Tough day for him so far. Screwing Hancock pretty good two. Hancock has gotten on base all three times and been put out at second by Logan Tanner twice and then quick one-two outs by Tanner and Dubrule got him the third time.

[magrooder]

We're lucky to be up in this game.

[Johnson85]

Put Hancock at catcher and Clark at 1st get him out. He is in the same boat as legget

Time for Hatcher to make his long waited comeback.

[bobtail bob]

Wheels falling off for Southern Miss

[PMDawg]

Why is Lemonis so hard headed? Bednar is beyond done.

[RocketDawg]

Might want to take Bednar out.

[RocketDawg]

We're lucky to be up in this game.

Mostly based on Samford's errors.

[magrooder]

Is anyone ready in the bullpen?

[bobtail bob]

They have figured Bernard out

[BeardoMSU]

Another fortunate K.

[magrooder]

These announcers are terrible.

[mparkerfd20]

That wasn't a strike but ump should have tossed him.

[msudawg1200]

I flipped over to the FSU radio broadcast on SiriusXM, and the announcer kept calling USM Mississippi State. I didn't know whether I should feel insulted or not. I still don't see how professional announcers do this.

[PMDawg]

Lemonis trying to kill Bednar?

[BeardoMSU]

Good job, Will.

[magrooder]

Got out of the inning. Need to make a change

[Cooterpoot]

Solid job by Bednar. He's done at over 100 pitches. Let's see how we play our pitching here.

[BeardoMSU]

Leadoff double from Brad. Lets go boys!

[magrooder]

Lead off double by Cumbest

[RocketDawg]

They give the players a little leeway, and probably should.

[PMDawg]

Yeah, I'm interested to see who comes out. Probably Brandon S.

[BeardoMSU]

USF beats Florida, lol.

[KOdawg1]

Woo. Clark almost had one

[Cooterpoot]

Can we just keep Cumbest in the lineup?

[BeardoMSU]

Lane with a sacfly. 6-3. Needed that one.

[KOdawg1]

Good job by the bottom 3rd of the order. If we can get more of that, we'll be alright

[magrooder]

forsythe got it out of the infield deep enough for the run. Good job

[KOdawg1]

We're hitting the ball harder, just right at people. I can live with that.

[PMDawg]

They hit that guy pretty hard. Just hit them all right at folks. Good sign though.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Theyre pretty lucky we didnt put up a lot of runs there

[BeardoMSU]

They hit that guy pretty hard. Just hit them all right at folks. Good sign though.

Absolutely.

[BeardoMSU]

Beldar back out?!? What the hell?

[preachermatt83]

One thing that?s good to see is that we are hitting several balls hard

[BeardoMSU]

Why why why?

[KOdawg1]

Lemonis is a moron for this. What the actual 17

[BeardoMSU]

These guys love to bitch and moan with every pitch, lol.

[KOdawg1]

KAM MAKES A STOP AND A GOOD THROW AND YOU CANT TURN 2??!!!

[magrooder]

Miss out on the easy double play

[PMDawg]

This is shocking. Bednar doesn't throw this many pitches. Playing with fire here, and the defense isn't helping.

[preachermatt83]

This is why we have taken it so easy on our pitchers this whole season. To allow them the opportunity to be able to be extended in post season. I love this. We are setting ourselves up to win this regional!! I love it!!!

[sleepy dawg]

Bednars done all he can. That better be the end of him.

[BeardoMSU]

Lemonis is a moron for this. What the actual 17

We all look like fools, lol.

Saved our pen from an extra inning. Huge game from Will.

[PMDawg]

Well....I guess a good call by Lemonis

[bobtail bob]

Surely that’s all for Will right ?

[VandelayIndustries]

We all look like fools, lol.

Saved our pen from an extra inning. Huge game from Will.

Good outing by Bednar

[BrunswickDawg]

Y'alll been bitching all season about our pitchers not going deep and limiting pitch counts - and now that we are in a game where we want our starter going deep and he has plenty of gas to have a high pitch count, y'all want to yank him.

It's 6-3. Get the sand out of your vags

[magrooder]

Alright, good game from Bednar. Took it farther than I thought he would.

[preachermatt83]

You guys are hilarious. Perfect call from Lemo

[BrunswickDawg]

Surely that’s all for Will right ?

I'd bring him out for 8 and have a short hook

[preachermatt83]

Y'alll been bitching all season about our pitchers not going deep and limiting pitch counts - and now that we are in a game where we want our starter going deep and he has plenty of gas to have a high pitch count, y'all want to yank him.

It's 6-3. Get the sand out of your vags
+1

[magrooder]

Two on no outs for Hancock

[Commercecomet24]

I'd bring him out for 8 and have a short hook

Yeah I think I'd roll with that too especially if we get a couple runs here and don't want to drive his pitch count up to much either

[KOdawg1]

Hancock is on fire

[BrunswickDawg]

Yeah I think I'd roll with that too especially if we get a couple runs here and don't want to drive his pitch count up to much either

7-3 now, you save the pen

[preachermatt83]

Hancock has been great today

[Commercecomet24]

Good to see luke hitting. Had a good day.

[PMDawg]

Hancock is on fire
Yes, and that's huge if it stays that way.

[BeardoMSU]

We need to blow it open here. Would be huge not to have to throw Sims today.

[BeardoMSU]

Hancock has been great today

Perfect timing, too lol.

[Commercecomet24]

7-3 now, you save the pen

And let's get a few more just for the heckuva it lol.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

I don't understand why people are so shocked with Lemonis leaving Bednar in. That has literally been the plan since day 1. Limit the innings of the starters to keep them fresh for the postseason, and let the bullpen get work and develop. Then come regional time (that starts today), our starters will be fresh and strong and can extend, and we will have some experience in the pen.

Now I would love some runs and the ability to save Landon Sims for tomorrow.

[sleepy dawg]

I agree now. We got some room to work with now. I just get nervous.

[PMDawg]

So now who pitches the 8th and 9th?

[Commercecomet24]

Let's get greedy guys and score a bunch!

[KOdawg1]

Someone check on Rex. Hatcher's in

[somebodyshotmypaw]

So now who pitches the 8th and 9th?

Winning the first 2 is huge. So I save Sims for tomorrow if possible.

[Commercecomet24]

Y'all can say what you want but Bednars been a Dawg today.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Debrule is back to softball swinging again. He was out of that for a while

[Offshore Dawg]

5 run lead, Sims stays on the bench !!

[Offshore Dawg]

Fat boy can hit

[KOdawg1]

I don't like the way we give up homeruns

[PMDawg]

Geez we never make things easy.

[sleepy dawg]

Cry baby cry

[PMDawg]

I don't like the way we give up homeruns

You don't like always starting an inning with a belt high fast ball over the middle of the plate?

[KOdawg1]

This ump is screwing them lol

[BeardoMSU]

Geez we never make things easy.

that's the ancient Sumerian translation for "Mississippi State".

[BeardoMSU]

This ump is screwing them lol

He really is, lol.
