Super Regional Game Thread #3, OMAHA on the line....

[mparkerfd20]

They are in panic mode now

[Lord McBuckethead]

Chased that asshole too. Please stay rh pitcher

[Percho]

They're on the ropes. We have to have a shut down inning once this one is over

Very important!

[Commercecomet24]

We grind abs. These kids don't strike out much and just grind pitchers . It ain't always pretty but we've been very successful

[Really Clark?]

Dubrule said, "17 you KO dawg, you look like a girl. My swing's fine."

Hahaha. That's outstanding

[Commercecomet24]

They're on the ropes. We have to have a shut down inning once this one is over

Exactly

[Rex54]

Woo boy I wish it was the 7th inning not the 2nd. Just keep pounding and leave no doubt.

[bobtail bob]

Cumbeast up again

[ScoobaDawg]

OK bats, lets show tf up.

Wish granted. But don't ever stop pouring it on.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Dubrule said, "17 you KO dawg, you look like a girl. My swing's fine."

He actually swung with the pitch, instead of just flipping his wrist with his ass out. And he gets a single through.
So far, Lotan smashed that dude and K James exit velocity on his hit was probably about 105. Those were ropes. Keep it up boys. As Denzel says....leave no doubt Herman.

[msstate7]

Ok, let's get another one

[Really Clark?]

This guy will walk you even more

[RocketDawg]

ND is collapsing. Hope they keep it up. Pitcher has been 3 feet outside.

[msstate7]

Please walk em... I'd love Clark to see a rhp

[Commercecomet24]

Don't tell me the Dude ain't affecting these turds.

[PMDawg]

Their catcher's not having fun anymore. Haha

[maroonmania]

This umpire tonight is not giving them charity strikes either like the 2 umps from the last 2 games.

[msstate7]

Why?

[KOdawg1]

I was about to flip out had he gotten thrown out at 3rd with 2 outs

[Really Clark?]

Boom, told you. He can't harness it and Dude is too much.

Great steal, great scouting on that

[Rex54]

I don't condone stealing 3rd there. But hope a passed ball scores a run.

[msstate7]

I was about to flip out had he gotten thrown out at 3rd with 2 outs

Me too, but he beat handily

[RocketDawg]

Lemonis must've gained 50 lbs since he got to Starkville.

[maroonmania]

He did get a huge jump

[maroonmania]

Doubt they give much to Clark with Forsythe due up.

[msstate7]

Gift call

[Really Clark?]

Did we trade EC overnight to ND?

[msstate7]

Lane, take 2 strikes

[PMDawg]

He was cussing "these pitchers"

[maroonmania]

Forsythe better not swing until he has 2 strikes. This dude is all over the place.

[msstate7]

They are 4-deep in pen down 6.

[Really Clark?]

Another pitching change

[Commercecomet24]

The crowd is in their heads now.

[bobtail bob]

Crowd needs to get up and give it to these assholes now

[Lord McBuckethead]

Lemonis must've gained 50 lbs since he got to Starkville.

Naw. He was a big dude. I just remember him sweating his ass off day one.

[msstate7]

Forsythe better not swing until he has 2 strikes. This dude is all over the place.

New guy... can't believe I'm about to type this, but I would let him swing 0-0. You know this pitcher is gonna try to get ahead

[Percho]

You know what I want Forsythe to do?

Be a baseball player.

[starkvegasdawg]

Do they have 27 pitchers in their bullpen?

[R2Dawg]

This umpire tonight is not giving them charity strikes either like the 2 umps from the last 2 games.

True, making them earn it.

[RocketDawg]

Forsythe better not swing until he has 2 strikes. This dude is all over the place.

Correct. Might not even want to swing on 3-2.

[RocketDawg]

Another new pitcher.

[maroonmania]

If Forsythe gets a hit here then it is just our night.

[maroonmania]

Dang, how many lefties do they have on this staff?

[RocketDawg]

Good inning. Great inning.

[KOdawg1]

We have some wiggle room with Harding now. Just need to avoid the big inning

[Lord McBuckethead]

If Forsythe gets a hit here then it is just our night.

Should pitch hit here with Leggett

[mparkerfd20]

That's the Lane we all know. Damn

[magrooder]

Super inning. Now SHUT their ASS down defense!

[Cloak]

LETS GO DAWGS

Great inning.

[maroonmania]

Well, at least we got the order turned over. Probably the best move they made was walking Clark to let Forsythe hit.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Do they have 27 pitchers in their bullpen?
Well they didn't use anyone yesterday

[Really Clark?]

Wish it was already the 8th inning

[maroonmania]

Great inning but this game is far from over.

[MoreCowbell]

Lemonis must've gained 50 lbs since he got to Starkville.

Lol he really has like wth???

[Activated Alpha]

Ok just need quick innings Harding

[maroonmania]

And here we go. Would have felt a lot better if Lane would have gotten a hit.

[magrooder]

Not the start we were looking for

[Lord McBuckethead]

Can we just walk their #9 hitters? They have 17 total bases to our 1.

[RocketDawg]

Shouldn't hesitate to change pitchers at first sign.

[Really Clark?]

Can't just fed them fastballs

[MoreCowbell]

The crowd better not lose their intensity we need to be rocking until the end so our players dont relax

[KOdawg1]

Okay there goes some of his wiggle room

[RocketDawg]

And the first and second signs have happend. Change pitchers.

[Activated Alpha]

Come on Harding. This game is far from over.

[maroonmania]

I don't think 7 runs will win this game.

[PMDawg]

Now Hooty wants to fall apart? Geez guy. COMPETE!

[Rex54]

Lot
Of
Baseball
Left

Stay focused.... and if the game gets within 3 runs bring in Sims

[Lord McBuckethead]

Long game fellas. They already got on back on 3 pitches. We have to keep the ball down and make them earn every single swing.

[magrooder]

The crowd quiets down when ND is batting, the opposite of what they need to do

[Rex54]

I'd have PJ warming up right now.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Good 2nd strike pitch. Now get this guy.

[BayouDawg]

If Harding can get us through the 5th with the lead then let sims finish

[msstate7]

If Harding can get us through the 5th with the lead then let sims finish

I don't know about letting him go much farther

[PMDawg]

If Harding can get us through the 5th with the lead then let sims finish

I want Sims to get the 8th and 9th, only.

[KOdawg1]

Big K there

[Really Clark?]

Great K!! Great change up

[bobtail bob]

They are making too much contact now. Leash needs to be real short

[Lord McBuckethead]

5 runs isn't shit in this tourney. Got to get outs.

[Rex54]

These umpires are so shitty lol

[BayouDawg]

I want Sims to get the 8th and 9th, only.

I?ll meet you half way. 7th 8th and 9th

[RocketDawg]

The catcher is the only guy at school that can get away with wearing fingernail polish (at least in my era).

[maroonmania]

That was a strike.

[Bdawg]

That a baby Hootie. One more.

[RocketDawg]

Good K there but the pitch was pretty low.

[msstate7]

That was a great pitch

[maroonmania]

Great pitch for the K!

[Really Clark?]

Harding says screw you guys y'all don't know my heart!! Great 2 K's

[msstate7]

Tanner, for the love of God, don't throw that ball away

[maroonmania]

Please no HR here. Make him hit your pitch.

[Bdawg]

Nothing too good here Hootie

[RocketDawg]

Kavortas hasn't done much in this series. So far.

[bobtail bob]

Show this fantass apiculture of some gravy fries and he will forget about getting a hit

[PMDawg]

Great comeback Harding!

[Really Clark?]

Great pitch for the easy roller

[msstate7]

Harding did a great job after the 1st 2. Probably the long delay

[Commercecomet24]

Good comeback by harding

[maroonmania]

That will work. Way to come back strong Harding after the first 2 guys got hits.

[Bdawg]

Tanner, for the love of God, don't throw that ball away

I know. And very seldom do you get that out.

[KOdawg1]

Hooty got some stones on him.

He's quickly becoming more trustworthy than Mac and Bednar

[bobtail bob]

Now let’s rough up this cream puff they have pitching

[mparkerfd20]

I'll take it

[BayouDawg]

Good inning. I can live with making them earn runs by hitting the ball. No walks and we will be good

[Lord McBuckethead]

Good flippin inning. Now we need to refocus and get that one back plus one.

[magrooder]

Way to go Houston!! Need to step on their throats now

[Commercecomet24]

Hooty got some stones on him.

He's quickly becoming more trustworthy than Mac and Bednar

I agree. I trust him more than Bednar and Mac at this point

[RocketDawg]

Show this fantasy apiculture of some gravy fries and he will forget about getting a hit

Had to look up "apiculture". It means "raising bees".

[Lord McBuckethead]

One of the hardest things to do as an offense. Refocus up 5 and add to the lead.

The next two innings will tell us something. I hope the coaching staff is having a "they are going to try and steal this 17n thing from you" meeting with the whole team between innings.

[msstate7]

Get that run back

[Lord McBuckethead]

Rowdey smoked that one, just right at center field.

[Commercecomet24]

Tanner got it back!

[KOdawg1]

Got it back

[BeardoMSU]

Tanner. ****ing. Allen.

[Bdawg]

Get that run back

Done!! TA blast!!!

[RocketDawg]

One of the hardest things to do as an offense. Refocus up 5 and add to the lead.

The next two innings will tell us something. I hope the coaching staff is having a "they are going to try and steal this 17n thing from you" meeting with the whole team between innings.

Got the run back just then. But we stole it from them with a big lead first game, so we can't sit back. No clock in baseball.

[magrooder]

TA KABOOM!!

[PMDawg]

I just knew that was coming. Nice job TA

[Lord McBuckethead]

Boom. Have another team meeting fellas. We need 10 more.

[Really Clark?]

Boom!! TA!!!

[msstate7]

I don't think a quick out here is the worst thing. Get Harding the ball quickly

[ScoobaDawg]

There's my meaningless stat happiness.
That's now 5 bulldogs with double digits homeruns this year. Likely a first in msu history.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Guys looked like they were attacking. Good job. Next inning we will get them to fall.

[Lord McBuckethead]

There's my meaningless stat happiness.
That's now 5 bulldogs with double digits homeruns this year. Likely a first in msu history.

I thought we would have made it the last year with McNamee, Westburg, Allen, Focue and company.

[Bdawg]

There's my meaningless stat happiness.
That's now 5 bulldogs with double digits homeruns this year. Likely a first in msu history.

Isnt rowdy only one away too? Almost had it yesterday.

[PMDawg]

How crazy would the Dude go if Lane hit a dinger? Would love it for the poor kid.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Isnt rowdy only one away too? Almost had it yesterday.

I think Rowdey already has 11.

[Lord McBuckethead]

How crazy would the Dude go if Lane hit a dinger? Would love it for the poor kid.

I was hoping he would have done it with them juiced.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Got to keep the lead off guy off the base path.

[Activated Alpha]

Do not start walking people. Keep the ball down

[msstate7]

Ok, be careful

[Really Clark?]

Whoa, that was way too close

[RocketDawg]

That was close. Once again, excellent camera work.

[maroonmania]

Whew, lucked out there.

[KOdawg1]

Throw. Strikes.

[Bdawg]

Dang it Hootie. No walks

[Lord McBuckethead]

Got to keep the lead off guy off the base path.

Well shit guys. Need a DP.

[msstate7]

I'd keep someone ready from here out

[Lord McBuckethead]

That was close. Once again, excellent camera work.
Not sure if that needs a **

[magrooder]

Lead off free pass = Not good

[PMDawg]

Has there been an inning in this entire SR where we didn't put the lead off guy on? And I feel like he scores 100% of the time too. Smh

[msstate7]

Big k

[Bdawg]

Nice. Stay right there!!

[Really Clark?]

Good K on another great change up

[maroonmania]

That changeup is deadly when he gets it right.

[msstate7]

You gotta get pen up

[ScoobaDawg]

I thought we would have made it the last year with McNamee, Westburg, Allen, Focue and company.

Negative. Last time we had 3 in double digits was either 98 or 99

[Bdawg]

Ok. Let's not load them. How much longer do we go?

[maroonmania]

Boy, they just smoke everything they get a bat on.

[PMDawg]

Change up is perfect for a DP

[msstate7]

Change up off the plate

[ScoobaDawg]

Isnt rowdy only one away too? Almost had it yesterday.

Rowdey got one already in this series.

[maroonmania]

Boy, how did he lay off that. Just above the letters.

[msstate7]

Dangerous pitch

[Really Clark?]

Come on Hootie

Man his jersey is soaked

[msstate7]

This would be my last batter for Harding

[KOdawg1]

Whew. Just a long out. One more.

[Activated Alpha]

Close one Harding. Just get one more. Might be good to go talk to him and settle him down

[maroonmania]

Well, much better than a walk.

[Bdawg]

Come on. One more!

[Lord McBuckethead]

I say just walk their 9th hitter.

[BeardoMSU]

Boy, how did he lay off that. Just above the letters.

They're really disciplined. They've layed off several chesty high pitches that usually gets guys to chase.

[maroonmania]

Close one Harding. Just get one more. Might be good to go talk to him and settle him down

I do wonder about their bats. Even ones that don't look hit that well go nearly to the track.

[maroonmania]

5 innings will be the absolute max we are going to get with Harding at this pitch count.

[chef dixon]

Every out is a grind

[Bdawg]

I do wonder about their bats. Even ones that don't look hit that well go nearly to the track.

They dang sure carry.

[HaggardDawg]

Really don?t like this guy.

[Activated Alpha]

This is right here will be you?re best SO Harding. Come on

[maroonmania]

Every out is a grind

I know they don't have the stats, but right now, this team is as good of an offensive team as I've seen us play this year.

[Really Clark?]

Yes TA!!!! Great catch!!

[msstate7]

That's it for Harding. You can't let him face them again, lemonis

[chef dixon]

That's a dagger type defensive play

[maroonmania]

They NEVER hit a ball that's easy to field. Unreal.

[Commercecomet24]

Kids came to play tonight! Big brass balls!

[Lord McBuckethead]

At a way to battle boys. Need another meeting the dug out. Center your focus boys. Center it.

[ScoobaDawg]

Atta boy TA!!!

[KOdawg1]

Hey guys, small request, let's stop playing fire, K?

[Lord McBuckethead]

They NEVER hit a ball that's easy to field. Unreal.

Every once in a while, but most are shots. Got to keep fielding fellas.

[ScoobaDawg]

That's it for Harding. You can't let him face them again, lemonis

You might be right. But he will go back out until he puts one on..

[Really Clark?]

Get some runs, let Harding start the fifth then quick pull if he lets a couple on

[Bdawg]

That's it for Harding. You can't let him face them again, lemonis

Totally agree. Or get him if he puts just one on next inning. Looks like he laboring some now. Good outing though.

[MoreCowbell]

LFGGGGG Harding

[SaintDawg]

the boys said the time for 17in' around is over

[Commercecomet24]

Get some runs, let Harding start the fifth then quick pull if he lets a couple on

Right let him roll.

[msstate7]

Now if we can get 2 here, it buys Harding another inning

[Really Clark?]

Another great hit Logan

[magrooder]

LoTan with the hustling double

[KOdawg1]

LOL Nd players want their coach to challenge the play, but he's talking to the TV guys.

[maroonmania]

Show the darn game when a guy is batting!!! I don't need to see the coach talking.

[mparkerfd20]

LoTan is heating up

[msstate7]

You can't overturn that

[magrooder]

Should not be overturned

[ScoobaDawg]

You can't overturn that

Agree. No angle. Call stands

[Lord McBuckethead]

Tanner is 100% safe at second. 100%

[msstate7]

That was a great throw

[Bdawg]

Got to score him now.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Agree. No angle. Call stands the angle from 1st gives 100% clear look. 100% safe.

[KOdawg1]

Good bunt

[Bdawg]

Beautiful

[Really Clark?]

Great bunt

[msstate7]

Fly ball, Brad

[magrooder]

Good bunt. Need one to the outfield Mule

[ScoobaDawg]

A sac bunt that works. Love it

[msstate7]

Or that

[Really Clark?]

Brad you beautiful tall mule bastard!!!

[BeardoMSU]

Brad!

The hitting is getting contagious, fellas.

[Bdawg]

Brad is hot!!! Move him up

[Commercecomet24]

Keep
Adding on yes!!! Let Harding go another!

[maroonmania]

Man, Cumbest is looking better and better.

[magrooder]

Poor the coals to'em boys!!

[msstate7]

Maybe Brad should just leave football. I say this without seeing him on the field there, but he's turning into quite the hitter

[KOdawg1]

C'mon Kellum, join in on the fun

[CadaverDawg]

By the way, I only tuned in for 3 plays....

ND's first run
ND's 2nd run
Us getting out with bases juiced.

So I turned it off. I'll watch the replay if it means not causing us to lose

[BeardoMSU]

Kellum!!!!!!

[Commercecomet24]

Brads not trying to pull everything thing now. The first off speed pitch outside he stayed on it hit the other way foul then they came inside and he ripped it

[Dolphus Raymond]

Score please.

[msstate7]

Are those our 2-3, 3-4 hitters next year?

[Really Clark?]

Clark!! With another double back to back

[magrooder]

Double down Boys!!

[Bdawg]

Pour the coals to it!!!!!!! Train rolling downhill and let's keep it rolling!!!

[Commercecomet24]

Keep adding on!

[magrooder]

Score please.

10-2

[KOdawg1]

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

[bobtail bob]

If we can hold this ,playing against a feisty sound team like the Irish will help us tremendously next week

[msstate7]

Come on lane...

[Bdawg]

By the way, I only tuned in for 3 plays....

ND's first run
ND's 2nd run
Us getting out with bases juiced.

So I turned it off. I'll watch the replay if it means not causing us to lose

DONT TURN IT ON!!! KEEP IT GOING FOR US!

[ScoobaDawg]

Score please.

10-2 good guys. Runner on 2nd. 1 out
Forsythe up.

[msstate7]

Lane had a great 1-0 swing there. I think he's gonna be ok next season

[CadaverDawg]

DONT TURN IT ON!!!

Not a chance in hell. Y'all pull em through, and I'll keep the bad juju away. I'm totally cool with watching the replay at 1 am

[msstate7]

Someone throw rowdey a dagger

[Really Clark?]

Ok, moved him over. We will take those AB's from you Lane

[BeardoMSU]

Lane had a great 1-0 swing there. I think he's gonna be ok next season

I'll take any productive out from him at this point, lol.

[ScoobaDawg]

Let's go rowdey!!!

[KOdawg1]

Their 3rd baseman is pretty good

[SilentSteel16]

Did Nico throw an elbow at Lane?

[Bdawg]

Not a chance in hell. Y'all pull em through, and I'll keep the bad juju away. I'm totally cool with watching the replay at 1 am

You the man!!!

[msstate7]

With those 2 runs, I'd send Harding back out there. 1 reaches, I'd pull em

[maroonmania]

Two more innings and then we can bring Sims in if needed.

[maroonmania]

With those 2 runs, I'd send Harding back out there. 1 reaches, I'd pull em

I think he needs to start this inning. Short hook if he falters.

[Bdawg]

Nice job Harding! Set us up for success.

[maroonmania]

Please throw strikes Stone! They can't come back without our help.

[msstate7]

I think he needs to start this inning. Short hook if he falters.

We over ruled, and I'm fine with this

[KOdawg1]

I would've let Harding have another, but I don't mind it. Simmons for 1. Preston Johnson for 1 (or 2). Sims to close it out

[Really Clark?]

Ok Stone. Totally different look, no walks

[KOdawg1]

Shit c'mon TA

[msstate7]

That's just unacceptable

[maroonmania]

Dang Tanner, what was that?

[BeardoMSU]

Christ, Tanner.

[KOdawg1]

Why can't we get the leadoff man out? I don't get it

[KOdawg1]

I hope we didn't think they were just going to lay down for us

[ScoobaDawg]

Damnit Simmons... And tanner

[maroonmania]

Should have stayed with Harding one more inning. Both of those balls smoked.
