Omaha Game Thread - MSU v Texas

[Lord McBuckethead]

Guess I will go ahead and start one. Why are we the visiting team?

[terradawg]

We are a lower seed than TX

[bostondawg]

Beardo you're slacking!

[EdwardDrayton]

Stow the lunch pails boys, suit up and punch the clock. Time to put in a day?s work and get this job done. Hailstate.

[msstate7]

97, sheet

[RocketDawg]

Loooks like the fielders are looking into the setting sun.

[msstate7]

We better hope he doesn't have some offspeed going with that 97

[msstate7]

Knife thru butter

[bostondawg]

Ty Madden is good. Damn.

[preachermatt83]

I could strike out kam every time I faced him. All you have to do is throw him outside sliders just off the plate.

[starkvegasdawg]

Beardo you're slacking!

We lose and it's his damn fault.

[chef dixon]

It's one inning lol

[BeardoMSU]

Not an ideal start from our top 3. Let's go Beldar.

[Bothrops]

Checking in for the Longhorn worship fest!

[BuckyIsAB****]

Relax. The ball coming from light to shadows has to be tough

[99jc]

I could strike out jam every time I faced him. All you have to do is throw him outside sliders just off the plate.

they have to lay off the slider

[BeardoMSU]

We lose and it's his damn fault.

Crap, sorry guys. Totally forgot. Been outside with the kids.

[msstate7]

Crap, sorry guys. Totally forgot. Been outside with the kids.

Get your priorities in order, damn


Lol

[ScoobaDawg]

Crap, sorry guys. Totally forgot. Been outside with the kids.

You think this is Father's day or something???

[RocketDawg]

Bednar looking good so far.

[PMDawg]

Bednar's stuff looks good so far.

[BeardoMSU]

Get your priorities in order, damn


Lol


You think this is Father's day or something???


Lol, still...I usually remember such things. I'm mad at myself.

Beldar looks good, though.

[msstate7]

Knife thru butter

X2

[FISHDAWG]

He's got his stuff going tonight

[preachermatt83]

Man bednar looked great right there.

[Medic601]

The umpire helmet cam has got to go. They are literally using it EVERY pitch and it?s making me nauseous. It?s an atrocious view!!

[Activated Alpha]

Way to respond Bednar. Need the bulldogs to have some quality ABs because Madden is a different beast then when we faced him 1st game of the season

[starkvegasdawg]

Lol, still...I usually remember such things. I'm mad at myself.

Beldar looks good, though.

Blaming the kids now?

[msstate7]

What is Hancock looking for? 2 fastballs down the middle. Terrible

[msstate7]

That's why you don't wait till you get 2 strikes to swing

[msstate7]

Here comes the fastball, Brad. Don't miss it

[CadaverDawg]

Madden is locked in tonight. May be tough to get anything going

[preachermatt83]

We got really close to getting very very lucky right there.

[MoreCowbell]

If you get any angle on it it is going out with the wind. Stay low in zone Bednar

[mparkerfd20]

We gonna get this guy 2nd time through lineup.

[BeardoMSU]

We gonna get this guy 2nd time through lineup.

Aye.

[Activated Alpha]

Yeah I have a feeling it will be a launching pad tonight with that wind. Unfortunately we have a tendency to give up the long ball. Hopefully our pitchers can keep in low in the zone

[BayouDawg]

LoTan got a hanging slider but missed it

[msstate7]

I wish they had stat cast for this. I wanna know bednar's spin rate

[Bothrops]

Bednar's stuff looks good so far.

Indeed it does

[chef dixon]

Whew cat wasn't even close on that swing lol

[RocketDawg]

Bednar is rocking.

[sleepy dawg]

Bednar dealing

[Really Clark?]

Ho hum...striking out the side in the CWS. Nasty Bednar!!

[BuckyIsAB****]

He is throwing strikes early in the count load up and take a hack

[starkvegasdawg]

Think the TX batter was pissed after that last K. Not sure the ump was pleased.

[Activated Alpha]

Alright State. Need some base runners and quality ABs. Let?s get his pitch count up

[Boston]

The umpire helmet cam has got to go. They are literally using it EVERY pitch and it?s making me nauseous. It?s an atrocious view!!

You?re on the the wrong broadcast. One is ump cam, one is normal.

[BayouDawg]

Bednar is dealing

[SaintDawg]

bednar is dialed in guys!

[MoreCowbell]

After shadows go away this inning and 2nd time through lineups we will see who really has their A game going

[Lord McBuckethead]

You?re on the the wrong broadcast. One is ump cam, one is normal.
The ump cam for live action is retarded. Now, we need to get some runners on and get this guy in the stretch.

[CadaverDawg]

Madden is eating our lunch

[99jc]

Madden is eating our lunch

he is hittable just be patient

[msstate7]

Madden is eating our lunch

Bednar rolling too, but I don't have a lot of confidence bednar can keep this rolling. We have to get something done offensively

[Activated Alpha]

Tanner did not swing at any good pitches there

[ScoobaDawg]

You don't get ranked in the first round and not be consistent.
He will make mistakes. We have to execute on them.

[Cooterpoot]

Both pitchers are ridiculous tonight.

[Percho]

Whatever happened to announcing what is going on in the ballgame you are announcing.

[RocketDawg]

The ump cam for live action is retarded. Now, we need to get some runners on and get this guy in the stretch.

I've not seen the umpcam used yet - just the center field camera on all the pitches. Are you sure you're not on an alternate channel?

[msstate7]

When you watch mlb all the time, it's weird seeing batters not move out the way

[mparkerfd20]

That was strike 2

[msstate7]

Bednar is showing out

[chef dixon]

Nice touch by Bednar to tease them with the HBP just to not let their lead off man start the next inning

[BayouDawg]

I think madden fastball is hittable if we can just lay off the slider. Easier said than done though

[ScoobaDawg]

Bednar is rocking. 8 k's

[chef dixon]

It's clear Notre Dame was a better line up than Texas but they didn't have an arm like Madden

[msstate7]

We need to be swinging early

[Lord McBuckethead]

K James just laid off the outside slider. No 17n shit. He did it.

[msstate7]

We need to be swinging early

Shut up, idiot

[msstate7]

I thought Hancock had the worst AB we've had his first AB, and then he squared that ball up. Nice

[RocketDawg]

The beginnings of a rally - hopefully. Maybe they've figured him out a little.

Lots of MSU fans in the stands.

[Really Clark?]

Shut up, idiot

Hahaha. Outstanding

[RocketDawg]

Hahaha. Outstanding

He's talking to himself, and answering. Isn't that indicative of something? **

[msstate7]

Man, tanner has missed both those offspeed that were perfect to hit a fly ball. Awful AB

[msstate7]

That's a big time AB.

[Really Clark?]

That a job Scotty!!!

[RocketDawg]

1-0 Dubrule sac fly!

[ScoobaDawg]

1-0 good guys.

[msstate7]

That's not dubrule's game either. Great AB

[ScoobaDawg]

Lead off walks score. Good job.

[Really Clark?]

Yes Brad!! Big time!!

[RocketDawg]

2-0 on a barely fair ball. Great inning.

[magrooder]

This shouldn't take this long

[ScoobaDawg]

Mulllleeee with a huge hit. Dogs up 2-0

[PMDawg]

Holy crap! Was not expecting this!

[msstate7]

Gotta admit, I was not a cumbest believer, but he is making a believer out of me. He could be a middle of the order hitter for us next season

[PMDawg]

Gotta admit, I was not a cumbest believer, but he is making a believer out of me. He could be a middle of the order hitter for us next season

He's batting 330 and has an OPS near 1. He's definitely middle of the order next year. Hell, he's 6th right now.

[BeardoMSU]

Gotta admit, I was not a cumbest believer, but he is making a believer out of me. He could be a middle of the order hitter for us next season

Indeed. He's more than won me over.

[BayouDawg]

Kellum is gonna be a great one down the road but madden has played him like a fiddle tonight

[BiscuitEater]

Too early for Sims?

I kid ... I kid

[SaintDawg]

Kellum is gonna be a great one down the road but madden has played him like a fiddle tonight

Imma say big stage jitters

[Activated Alpha]

Yeah Clark is not seeing the ball well at all

[Activated Alpha]

Alright now Bednar. Do not need any walks!!

[Saltydog]

Big inning here for Will. This is the inning he struggles with. Velo is down some already. He's very hittable when he only gets it up to 90-91.

[magrooder]

Looking for the dp

[Really Clark?]

Velo down a tic

[Activated Alpha]

Bednar not looking sharp this inning. Need to go talk to him and settle him down. Not sure why we wait so long to have a mound meeting

Never mind. I am dumb. Thought he had 3 balls on him

[PMDawg]

Sure is a dead game thread for CWS.

[MoreCowbell]

Sure is a dead game thread for CWS.

For real. Wake up people

[MoreCowbell]

There we go Bednar. When he gets a K we say Bedtime

[msstate7]

Ok, the ball is really carrying

[preachermatt83]

Hootie would be the first arm out of the pen for me

[Activated Alpha]

That gave me a scare. Looked smashed off the bat. Wind aided it to the track. Just one more Bednar

[Activated Alpha]

Come on Bednar. No walks

[MoreCowbell]

Feel like Bednar could be in better shape

[chef dixon]

Bad call ump

[magrooder]

Thatta Boy Will!!

[RocketDawg]

Hmm - Bednar got one there. The ball was low.

[msstate7]

How many innings do we trust sims?

[ScoobaDawg]

Oooh I think he stole that one. But I'll take it..

[MoreCowbell]

Feel like Bednar could be in better shape

Way to shut my ass up Bednar!!!!!

[PMDawg]

That was a ball.

[Activated Alpha]

Got a lucky call from the ump but that happens when you have been locating for most of the game.

[SaintDawg]

10 Ks thru 4. Wow!

[Activated Alpha]

Ok State, need more quality ABs and see if we cannot chase madden

[RocketDawg]

How many innings do we trust sims?

2-3

[Rex54]

3-0 to Lane was a ****ing ball a foot outside

[magrooder]

Apparently the low strike is being called

[magrooder]

3-0 to Lane was a ****ing ball a foot outside

Yes it was, I thought the ump just decided whatever he threw up there was going to be a strike

[RocketDawg]

10th man help on that popup.

[PMDawg]

Geez, Allen is off bad tonight.

[RocketDawg]

The Kentucky Bluegrass is holding up really well in the heat they've had and continue to have in Omaha.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Tanner Allen has seen a total of 5 pitches. We need him working a count.

[Activated Alpha]

Yeah we cannot afford Allen to have a rough night. I just knew Forsythe was going to strike out but applaud him for not swinging at a bunch.

[PMDawg]

Tanner Allen has seen a total of 5 pitches. We need him working a count.

Yeah, that's terrible.

[Activated Alpha]

No walks Bednar

Good job!! 11ks

[3rdGen]

Bednar is on fire and a new record holder.

[PMDawg]

Bednar in upper 80s now. A little scary.

[magrooder]

Should have been rung up for 12 so

[Activated Alpha]

Wow not sure how he laid that off. No walks Bednar

Good job!! A dozen Ks now for Bednar

[PMDawg]

Then Ks #12 with 91 mph

[RocketDawg]

Wonder what the CWS strikeout record is by one pitcher.

[Really Clark?]

Well that was back up to 91 but still down...unless it's a little on purpose

[Really Clark?]

Now 93

[msstate7]

93 on outside corner

[PMDawg]

If he can get through 4 more guys.....

[preachermatt83]

Why in the world has the strike zone tightened geez.

[msstate7]

94 on outside corner. Damn

[Really Clark?]

Back to 94 for last pitch and strikes out side again

[RocketDawg]

13. Don't think he's slowing down. Had one at 94 right before the K pitch.

[PMDawg]

94 again!

[magrooder]

Bednar, number 13 with authority!

[mparkerfd20]

Bednar is on 🔥

[3rdGen]

They killing me with all the “velo” talk!!! Hell yeah Bednar taking me on that ride.

[Bothrops]

Smokin'

[BeardoMSU]

Beldar has shown the **** up tonight.

[Activated Alpha]

Wow 13 Ks. Alright State, Bednar is giving his all. We need y?all to have some good ABs and chase Madden. Get some runs!!

[magrooder]

Good hit by James

[3rdGen]

20 is the record

[RocketDawg]

Thought he was out. But he made it on replay.

[preachermatt83]

Kam doin work

[RocketDawg]

20 is the record

Well, he probably won't break that then.

[magrooder]

Need a gapper here

[3rdGen]

Well, he probably won't break that then.

What kind of dawg are you!!!! He gonna pitch a no hitter baby!!!

[ScoobaDawg]

Record for one pitcher in one game.. 20
A 15 inning 165 pitch effort
https://www.ncaa.com/news/baseball/article/2020-06-02/9-college-world-series-records-we-think-will-never-be-broken

[magrooder]

Why would you do that? Damn,

[msstate7]

That seems like a game changing out

[mparkerfd20]

Stupid

[RocketDawg]

What kind of dawg are you!!!! He gonna pitch a no hitter baby!!!

Might. You never know. He's got to be near 100 pitches now though.

[PMDawg]

What a dumb decision to try to take 3rd

[CadaverDawg]

Stupid

[preachermatt83]

I like it. We needed to get him to third. Hindsight is twenty twenty but I like it

[ScoobaDawg]

Don't like the call to run there... James out.

[Really Clark?]

Might. You never know. He's got to be near 100 pitches now though.

85 pitches

[BulldogBear]

Bah!

[maroonmania]

Stupid

Yep, he was already in scoring position. He BARELY got into 2nd base.

[3rdGen]

If he strikes all the rest out ...... BIG GAME BEDNAR!

[Activated Alpha]

Ballsy to try to steal 3rd there but I would have preferred him to stay on 2nd. With the pass ball SO he would have been on 3rd anyways with Dubrule up

[preachermatt83]

You play to win. Not to keep from getting beat

[EdwardDrayton]

Not a fan of that decision to try for third.

[RocketDawg]

Ballsy to try to steal 3rd there but I would have preferred him to stay on 2nd. With the pass ball SO he would have been on 3rd anyways with Dubrule up

It's hard to steal third no matter how fast you are. You just have to catch them off guard.

[RocketDawg]

14. Just 6 more to go.

[starkvegasdawg]

Stupid

Window licking quality.

[maroonmania]

Ballsy to try to steal 3rd there but I would have preferred him to stay on 2nd. With the pass ball SO he would have been on 3rd anyways with Dubrule up

You rarely see someone trying to steal 3rd with one out because it rarely works against a high level catcher.

[magrooder]

You play to win. Not to keep from getting beat

You don't make an out while in scoring position to get to third. Not smart baseball.

[3rdGen]

He almost got thrown out at second. No way he is taking third on anything less than a passed ball through the catcher.

[Activated Alpha]

No walks Bednar

[RocketDawg]

5 to go.

[FISHDAWG]

Record or not Bednar draft stock and signing bonus is trending upward

[Really Clark?]

I like the aggression but timing of when to do it is questionable. However, James has to have a bigger lead to get third...if he does he probably makes it.

[magrooder]

That's been a strike all night

[Rex54]

How do you have umpires this ****ing awful in Omaha

[PMDawg]

Gotta hand it to Sims if he gets through this inning, right? May be hard to do the way he's pitching.

[mparkerfd20]

That's 2 strikes

[3rdGen]

One strikeout from being in the CWS record book

[Activated Alpha]

No walks Bednar!!

Good job with the fly out. Come on Bulldogs. Let?s get some runs and chase Madden. Been asking that for the past 5 innings*

[Quaoarsking]

Bednar's putting baseball in danger in not being a sport anymore**

[mparkerfd20]

Ump is squeezing a turd now

[RocketDawg]

100 pitches. What's his limit?

[BuckyIsAB****]

Kumar who

[maroonmania]

I like the aggression but timing of when to do it is questionable. However, James has to have a bigger lead to get third...if he does he probably makes it.

It was stupid aggression though. Otherwise, you would see a lot more runners trying it if it was worth the risk. We aren't playing Jackson State here.

[Really Clark?]

6 damn outstanding innings Bednar!! Freaking outstanding

[BuckyIsAB****]

Gotta hand it to Sims if he gets through this inning, right? May be hard to do the way he's pitching.

You leave bednar in till he loses command or velo

[RocketDawg]

How do you have umpires this ****ing awful in Omaha

It's pretty much balanced out. He's given us a couple as well as missed a couple.

[preachermatt83]

Bednar is just absolutely killing it with his fb right now.

[BeardoMSU]

Win or lose this is one of the best pitching performances we've ever seen from us in OMAHA. Will stepped up, to say the least.

[CadaverDawg]

Going to be a shame if we waste this ridiculous performance because of our bats

[magrooder]

100 pitches. What's his limit?

I let him pitch until he gets a runner on base, unless he tells me he is done before then

[Lord McBuckethead]

We need 3 more runs fellas. Got to start attacking 1st pitch in the zone. He is pretty much pumping fastballs 1st pitch, but look for him to adjust this inning. We need to chase this guy right here.

Also, Clark, put one in 17n play will you.

[preachermatt83]

100 pitches. What's his limit?

125ish

[Lord McBuckethead]

I let him pitch until he gets a runner on base, unless he tells me he is done before then

Exactly. Let bednar or the situation tell you. No pitch count right now.

[PMDawg]

So does he come back out or do we see Sims immediately. I kind of hope for Bednar, and go to Sims if they get a guy on base.

[DownwardDawg]

Been busy moving into my temporary living. Holy crap Bednar is filthy!!!!

[maroonmania]

Going to be a shame if we waste this ridiculous performance because of our bats

This pitcher we are facing is not exactly chopped liver.

[Rex54]

So does he come back out or do we see Sims immediately. I kind of hope for Bednar, and go to Sims if they get a guy on base.

Bednar no doubt.

[preachermatt83]

You don't make an out while in scoring position to get to third. Not smart baseball.

With less than two outs and not hitting well you do. I would have actually bunted him over with Hancock

[magrooder]

Good eye. make the lead off walk pay

[Rex54]

With less than two outs and not hitting well you do. I would have actually bunted him over with Hancock
It's a good thing you aren't Lemonis.

[Rex54]

College Baseball is truly the best sport in America.

[PMDawg]

Who is Brad dog cussing? Himself?

[magrooder]

Gotta lay off the high heat.

[preachermatt83]

I would pinch hit for Forsyth. He is an automatic out no matter what.

[magrooder]

This guy is struggling, don't help him out.

[maroonmania]

Clark and Forsythe are just lost against this guy.

[preachermatt83]

It's a good thing you aren't Lemonis.

I would have stole him too had I not bunted him over.

[mparkerfd20]

I would pinch hit for Forsyth. He is an automatic out no matter what.

No. Who would be SS then? Forsythe can not be pinch hit for.

[preachermatt83]

One more run and I’ll feel much more comfortable

[Really Clark?]

Clark not seeing that change up at all

[maroonmania]

I would pinch hit for Forsyth. He is an automatic out no matter what.

No, but its rough when your DESIGNATED HITTER looks this bad at the plate.

[preachermatt83]

No. Who would be SS then? Forsythe can not be pinch hit for.

Legget. Duh.

[RocketDawg]

We got a break on the non-called strike, then blew it with trying to steal second.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Clark is totally overwhelmed with Madden. We are letting them hang around

[MoreCowbell]

I do not feel comfortable with a 2 run lead at all

[magrooder]

Not smart running there, now Forsythe leads off next inning.

[BeardoMSU]

We are ****ing around on the bases..

[maroonmania]

DUMB, DUMB, DUMB. If Dubrule had stayed put we could have gotten rid of Forsythe. Now the 8th is ruined by an automatic out leading off.

[preachermatt83]

Now forsyth will lead off. Crap

[BulldogBear]

Bah.

Don't "steal" defeat from the jaws of victory.

[CadaverDawg]

Why not burn Forsythe's bat there???! Dammit guys get your heads in the game

[MoreCowbell]

Clark looks lost

[starkvegasdawg]

Are we trying to give them hope and momentum?

[PMDawg]

Pitch Clark outside with any movement/break and he can't hit it.

[maroonmania]

Even if Dubrule had been safe, Forsythe would have made an out anyway.

[CadaverDawg]

We're going to f around and be the only team in history to lose a game where your starter strikes out 15+

[Lord McBuckethead]

I like the aggressiveness but that really has been all bad to this point. I like it though, you just have to get the hitter to make contact, which has been the issue.

[Activated Alpha]

I believe in Forsythe much more than I do Clark in this game. Come on boy do not let me down!!

[Lord McBuckethead]

Yeah, I am not sure the last time he squared one up.

[maroonmania]

Why not burn Forsythe's bat there???! Dammit guys get your heads in the game

Our baserunning is killing us. ABSOLUTELY you want to get rid of Forsythe's bat and lead off with Rowdey in the 8th.

[Activated Alpha]

No walks Bednar

[magrooder]

I like the aggressiveness but that really has been all bad to this point. I like it though, you just have to get the hitter to make contact, which has been the issue.

But you don't do it with Clark at bat.

[CadaverDawg]

1) Dubrule ain't fast

2) Clark can't make contact vs this dude

3) Forsythe is up next with 2 outs

There is literally zero reasons to steal there

[RocketDawg]

Time for Sims.

[magrooder]

That was strike three

[BeardoMSU]

****ing ump, lol.

[Activated Alpha]

Damn. Alright. Go get him. He has done his job

[mparkerfd20]

That was a strike

[maroonmania]

Dang, that could have easily been a strikeout.
