CWS Finals Game 2 Thread: State vs. Vandy

[magrooder]

Take the dam walk Tanner!

[RocketDawg]

Vandy's pitcher will be pulled in a minute.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Allen has seen 16 pitches already this game. I bet he gets a double next time he is up there.

Rowdey on the other hand hasn't seen a pitch yet. He needs to be slapped and woken up.

[preachermatt83]

Cmon dawgs. Get one more here

[Bdawg]

Nice TA

[magrooder]

Way to be aggressive TA

[Commercecomet24]

Agressive baseball ! I love it!

[RocketDawg]

Getting Vandy all shook up now.

[magrooder]

Runners on the corners with no outs. Let's go DAWGS!

[BeardoMSU]

Need a big inning here.

[Really Clark?]

Alright, out of double play

[Commercecomet24]

We are grinding at bats!

[Lord McBuckethead]

Were playing 17n baseball.

[Bdawg]

Must tack on!!! Let's go!! Blow it open!!!

[BeardoMSU]

Good ab, Luke.

Logan, you need to send this into the stratosphere.

[RocketDawg]

Loaded again with no outs.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Vandy at 104 pitches already.

[magrooder]

Good eye Hancock. Bases loaded for LoTan, again. Make them pay

[SilentSteel16]

What did he just say? He needs someone to just throw strikes? What a concept

[Lord McBuckethead]

Better change pitcher, cause Lotan about to smoke this ball.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Starter - 58 pitches
Reliever #1 - 46 pitches

[preachermatt83]

Gotta get atleast 2 here

[Lord McBuckethead]

What did he just say? He needs someone to just throw strikes? What a concept

I wish someone would have mentioned it.....yesterday. sometimes it is the simplest things go unsaid.

[Bulldog1]

Need to score at least 2-3 more here.

[CadaverDawg]

That Vandy freshman looked terrified coming out of the pen

[bobtail bob]

Here comes the sleestack to change pitchers again

[CadaverDawg]

We have not chased their K pitches tonight. Been some great at bats so far. Can't be satisfied with 5 though, might now be enough. Plus we need to save arms

[Lord McBuckethead]

Starter - 58 pitches
Reliever #1 - 46 pitches

Alright, chances are this dude is going to start throwing strikes. Our hitters need to be ready to attack early in the at bat.

Lotan, needs to make him throw a strike before swinging. Just to make sure. If you get to 2-0 count, be ready for a swing and drive.

[BeardoMSU]

Alright, lets make them bite the pillow or the curb right here....either way, they get ****ed.

[maroonmania]

Seems like LoTan is due for a tank!

[BulldogBear]

Need a blowout so we don't have to use sims

This This This

[BeardoMSU]

Thanks, Logan.

[magrooder]

Seems like LoTan is due for a tank!

Still due

[maroonmania]

We still aren't hitting the ball.

[BeardoMSU]

C'mon, Scotty.

[HoopsDawg]

MUST SAVE SIMS

[magrooder]

I guess the plates 24" again

[Lord McBuckethead]

Come on Scotty

[RocketDawg]

I guess the plates 24" again

He missed one, but overall he's a lot better than the home plate ump last night.

[BeardoMSU]

Good hustle, Scotty. Whew!

[Really Clark?]

Whew! Good hustle Scotty

[Lord McBuckethead]

Scott saw 6 straight balls there. 2 called for strike.

[Bdawg]

Dang. Thought that was taylor made. Way to hustle.

[magrooder]

Whew. Scored one, but two outs for Mule

[RocketDawg]

Fortunate there.

[BulldogBear]

Time for Cumbest to come up with a two bagger

[maroonmania]

Thank goodness for the bobble. Tailor made DP.

[Bdawg]

Awful call on Brad

[BeardoMSU]

Now the ump decides to go full retard. Several strikes in the other batters box.

[BulldogBear]

Strike? HFS

[Lord McBuckethead]

24" wide strike again. Cumbest getting 17ed.

[maroonmania]

Now the ump decides to go full retard. Several strikes in the other batters box.

Those are horrible calls!

[Lord McBuckethead]

That is 4 strikes in a row, getting 17ed here.

[Statecoachingblows**]

What the hell

[RocketDawg]

Got a run, but not a very good inning.

[preachermatt83]

Mule struggling bad. Real bad

[maroonmania]

Lucky to get one there. NO HITS. Come on guys!

[BeardoMSU]

At least we expanded the lead there, mostly with their help, tho....but I'll take it to the alternative.

No leadoff walks.

[Commercecomet24]

This umps been a tad inconsistent

[Really Clark?]

Dang it. Horrible calls screwed Brad, ended up chasing. Come on blue you have to be better than that

[mparkerfd20]

Horrible ump

[magrooder]

I was their pitcher I'd just throw to the other batters box all night, this idiot ump is giving it to him for some reason

[Bdawg]

Totally screwed out of a chance to add more by the ump. Put him in a hole on first pitch.

[Saltydog]

McBuckethead passed me the baton for tonight's game thread. It's do or die time; backs against the wall...exactly where our team seems to thrive. Lets get the win tonight!

https://y.yarn.co/0d4dcc9f-6534-4254-a816-98ec292a1d0d_text.gif

Cumbest = Rally Killer

[Cooterpoot]

If we can't hit this shit, we don't stand a chance bs Rocker. Too many Terrible ABs tonight.

[BulldogBear]

Don't hate on Brad. He had to swing at that crap pitch because ump is calling that crap a strike.

[starkvegasdawg]

All this time I thought a pitch had to be over the plate to be a strike.

[preachermatt83]

MUST SAVE SIMS

Yup. We need to get up by 7

[Activated Alpha]

Really wanted more runs right there. LoTan and Cumbest needed to be better there

[Cooterpoot]

Cumbest = Rally Killer

Been lost all night.

[CadaverDawg]

Gotta get more than 1 in that spot guys

[Lord McBuckethead]

Once again, Cumbest had no choice but to swing. The last two at bats he has had 3 balls called strikes against him to start the at bat.

No wonder that guy can't barrel one up.

This is not on him. The ump is expanding the outside at least 4" on him.

He needs to crowd the plate. No doubt about it.

[maroonmania]

They have given us most of what we have. We just aren't hitting the ball. If we had gotten a big inning there we could have avoided using Sims. Hopefully we still can.

[preachermatt83]

Man I wouldn’t have pulled hootie just yet

[SilentSteel16]

Great job tonight Hootie !!

[Cooterpoot]

4 damn hits and one of those was a glove issue.

[Percho]

Mule struggling bad. Real bad

He would have needed a 54 inch bat to hit those pitches.

[magrooder]

He offered at that should have been a strike.

[CadaverDawg]

I really wanted us to get 1 big hit, and that would allow us the comfort of saving Sims potentially. But it looks like we're going to use Preston and then Sims regardless

[Activated Alpha]

No walks PJ!!

Good job

[Lord McBuckethead]

That bunt attempt was actually a strike.

[BeardoMSU]

Oh good. Texas hit a ball just like that and it got out.

[CadaverDawg]

4 damn hits and one of those was a glove issue.

We can have 4 hits tomorrow too if we win

[bobtail bob]

I think this ump sees Cumbeast walk up and thinks this big sumbitch can get to the ball six feet off the plate so I'm going to make that my zone

[State82]

17ing ridiculous squandered chances.

[BulldogBear]

Because pulling a guy that just nutted up and fanned two guys to hold the enemy scoreless is always the right decision after just four innings.***

[maroonmania]

Surprised we didnt try to get one more out of Harding.

[BeardoMSU]

We can have 4 hits tomorrow too if we win

This, lol.

Don't bite the hand that feeds, even if it's the opposing team.

[Rex54]

Man I wouldn’t have pulled hootie just yet

That's why you aren't coaching.

[Really Clark?]

Good job PJ

[Irondawg]

We should be up 10-1. Hopefully what we have is enough

[BeardoMSU]

I think this ump sees Cumbeast walk up and thinks this big sumbitch can get to the ball six feet off the plate so I'm going to make that my zone

It's like NBA refs umpiring Shaq, lol.

[magrooder]

I think this ump sees Cumbeast walk up and thinks this big sumbitch can get to the ball six feet off the plate so I'm going to make that my zone

I really think it's where the umps set up behind the catcher. They all set up on his inside shoulder and can't see the outside clearly.

[Lord McBuckethead]

I like Bradfield coming up with 2 outs. Watch for the bunt.

[preachermatt83]

Preston would be a heck of a closer

[magrooder]

I like Bradfield coming up with 2 outs. Watch for the bunt.

sumbitch is fast for sure

[BeardoMSU]

That's why you aren't coaching.

How bout you don't be a dick with every post.

[Activated Alpha]

Damn PJ. Just one more out

[Lord McBuckethead]

Allen miss played that one. No idea why we came in on him there with 2 strikes.

[magrooder]

Now the plate narrows back to 17"

[BeardoMSU]

C'mon, PJ!

[Cooterpoot]

Fox calling the damn inside pitch when we're getting a foot out. Terrible pitch call.

[preachermatt83]

That kid is sickening fast

[Rex54]

PJ!!!

[BeardoMSU]

**** yeah, PJ! Great job bouncing back.

[Really Clark?]

Yes PJ!!!

[Saltydog]

Bad angle there by TA. Should?ve played it off the wall.

[Lord McBuckethead]

MORE
BALL
SACK!

[magrooder]

F you Corbin, I don't want to hear shit you have to say

[Commercecomet24]

These kids are battlers dang I love it!

[maroonmania]

Way to waste the triple PJ!

[Activated Alpha]

Thatta boy PJ!!

[RocketDawg]

Allen miss played that one. No idea why we came in on him there with 2 strikes.

Yeah, but he doesn't do it often. Would have caught it at home.

[starkvegasdawg]

Now the plate narrows back to 17"

You noticed that, too?

[Lord McBuckethead]

Bad angle there by TA. Should?ve played it off the wall.

Easy to say, but he should have just caught it. I will chalk that up to not knowing the outfield. Everything over his head has been 8 rows deep the last 3 weeks.

[maroonmania]

I really hope Hootie told Lemonis he was done because we really needed one more inning out of him to avoid using Sims.

[Lord McBuckethead]

For the next 5 innings, I want to see our guys get some actual hits.

[BulldogBear]

Get on Eustace!!

[Really Clark?]

Bad match up for Clark here

[Lord McBuckethead]

I really hope Hootie told Lemonis he was done because we really needed one more inning out of him to avoid using Sims.

We can avoid using Sims, as long as our guys keep getting on base.

[BeardoMSU]

Lane with a hit?!?

[Really Clark?]

That a way to move Lane

[maroonmania]

I seriously think Clark never saw a slider in HS.

[magrooder]

Way to hustle Forsythe

[Commercecomet24]

Wow I know we gonna win now Forsyth got a hit!

[Lord McBuckethead]

Come on Lane. Nice run out.

[RocketDawg]

Wow. Good hit by Forsythe.

[BulldogBear]

Pop up king

[magrooder]

Come on TA pick us up one more time

[BeardoMSU]

Jeez, Rowdy. We need you, dude.

[Saltydog]

If we would?ve expanded the lead when we had chances we may not have had to use Sims tonight. That may haunt us.

[msstate7]

Jeez, Rowdy. We need you, dude.

Saving a big game for tomorrow

[Cooterpoot]

Rowdy....pitiful again tonight. He'll be due tomorrow.

[maroonmania]

Jeez, Rowdy. We need you, dude.

Rowdey saving his hits for tomorrow night I guess.

[BulldogBear]

Bring Lane in TA

[Lord McBuckethead]

No idea what Rowdey is doing. He needs to look the other field every swing until he figures it out.

[msstate7]

If we would?ve expanded the lead when we had chances we may not have had to use Sims tonight. That may haunt us.

Still may not

[Really Clark?]

Great AB TA

[BeardoMSU]

Saving a big game for tomorrow


Rowdey saving his hits for tomorrow night I guess.

Hope so.

[magrooder]

Need a two out hit Kam

[SilentSteel16]

Tanner Allen may be the Dak Prescott of Baseball in the future …

[BulldogBear]

All Right!!!

Bring 'em in KJ

[BeardoMSU]

Kam! Yeah!

[preachermatt83]

Kam bout to smash here

[Really Clark?]

That a way Kam!!

[magrooder]

Yesss. Way to be the man Kam

[Commercecomet24]

One every inning will work!

[Saltydog]

Clark is a worse breaking ball hitter than Cumbest.

[BeardoMSU]

Good job, Lane. You scored a run, and it started with you, lol.

[BeardoMSU]

One every inning will work!

Indeed, lol. I'll take it.

[BeardoMSU]

Luke!

this is fun, fellas.

[RocketDawg]

Looking good and all with 2 outs.

[Really Clark?]

Yes!! Luke good piece of hitting!!

[magrooder]

Good hit Hancock, keep the pressure on

[preachermatt83]

Boom baby!!

[BulldogBear]

Ump needs to GTFO with his "Everybody Gets a Trophy" strike zone.

[mparkerfd20]

Yes! Save Sims!!!!

[Commercecomet24]

Keep adding on and save sims!

[BeardoMSU]

Alright, PJ. Another scoreless inning will do.

[RocketDawg]

Good inning. Don't think we'll need Sims tonight.

[magrooder]

Throw strikes PJ, they ain't hitting

[Activated Alpha]

Good inning. Don't think we'll need Sims tonight.

Still plenty of game left and remember who we are. Nothing is easy for us

[Commercecomet24]

Good inning. Don't think we'll need Sims tonight.

Don't jinx us lol

[Dawg2003]

Saving Sims would be so big because he'd have more rest than the Vandy closer that pitched yesterday.

[Lord McBuckethead]

For the next 5 innings, I want to see our guys get some actual hits.
4 hits in one inning. Let's keep it going for the rest of the series.

[BeardoMSU]

Wow!

[magrooder]

Way to stay with it Lane!

[Activated Alpha]

Way to go Lane!!

[Really Clark?]

What a cannon Lane

[dawgoneyall]

That is why....

[Commercecomet24]

Lane didn't panic great job there

[Lord McBuckethead]

Good things happen when Forsythe gets a hit.

[Commercecomet24]

What a cannon Lane

Man if he can learn to hit

[Activated Alpha]

No walks PJ!!

Ump 17ed there

[magrooder]

Plate is now 14"

[Really Clark?]

Come on, you have been giving that to Vandy all night

[BeardoMSU]

****ing ump. Jesus. He's literally switching his zone inning to inning.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Lane didn't panic great job there

Great play Lane.

[Commercecomet24]

Umps not good at all

[preachermatt83]

Man that was close

[BulldogBear]

Should be 3-2 count. You suck blue.

[magrooder]

I could not be a coach, I'd get thrown out of every dam game arguing balls and strikes

[BeardoMSU]

Plate is now 14"

Pretty soon we'll be playing ski-ball.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Plate back to 10 inches wide. 17 ump.

[Lord McBuckethead]

I could not be a coach, I'd get thrown out of every dam game arguing balls and strikes

No kidding. I would have been tossed during one of Mule's at bats.

[Activated Alpha]

17 this ump. No walks PJ!!

That was a laser. But I will take it if it is right at Rowdy

[RocketDawg]

How'd Dak manage to get such a good seat? **

[Really Clark?]

Come on PJ, your gonna have to give them something juicy for this stupid ump

Good job there

[magrooder]

How'd Dak manage to get such a good seat? **

It's a Festivus Miracle!

[SilentSteel16]

I am telling you, we win this NC Tanner Allen will the baseball version of Dak Prescott for football. And VV for basketball. He will be enshrined.

[BeardoMSU]

Dak is the coolest MF on Earth, lol. We are so damn lucky to have him.

[Commercecomet24]

Pitchers don't know where to throw it hitters dint know what to swing at. College baseball has to do better than this geez

[Really Clark?]

My lord!! That's been called all night

[Cooterpoot]

[BeardoMSU]

Hell yeah, PJ. Keep it up. Let's get a couple more runs, boys.

[magrooder]

Way to hang tough PJ!

[Lord McBuckethead]

Ump Squeezing.
SHOWING
SOME
MORE
SACK

[Really Clark?]

Great job PJ!!

[Activated Alpha]

I am telling you, we win this NC Tanner Allen will the baseball version of Dak Prescott for football. And VV for basketball. He will be enshrined.

He will have a statue outside the Dude if so

[Saltydog]

McBuckethead passed me the baton for tonight's game thread. It's do or die time; backs against the wall...exactly where our team seems to thrive. Lets get the win tonight!

https://y.yarn.co/0d4dcc9f-6534-4254-a816-98ec292a1d0d_text.gif

Need at least one more inning from Preston?..

[BuckyIsAB****]

This is perfect. Couldnt have asked for any better. If we wanted to get greedy we could pull Preston here and use him again tomorrow

[Commercecomet24]

I am telling you, we win this NC Tanner Allen will the baseball version of Dak Prescott for football. And VV for basketball. He will be enshrined.

Tanner will be all time State Goat for everything at least til someone else does it lol

[Lord McBuckethead]

Need at least one more inning from Preston?..

We need to let him keep pitching until someone other than Bradfield gets contact.

[HoopsDawg]

Need at least one more inning from Preston?..

I'd love to see Preston finish this one out or at least get us thru the 8th.

[preachermatt83]

Man Preston has been good

[smootness]

Yeah, I'd let Preston get us through 7, then go someone like Stone Simmons to finish it.

[magrooder]

Need at least one more inning from Preston?..

I'd trot him back out there until he starts having problems

[Commercecomet24]

Get another run or 2 and save pj too

[Lord McBuckethead]

This is perfect. Couldnt have asked for any better. If we wanted to get greedy we could pull Preston here and use him again tomorrow

I say let him keep going. Cade and Smith can pitch 3 innings tomorrow if needed.

[BeardoMSU]

Need at least one more inning from Preston?..

I'm happy to keep seeing my Ghostbuster .gif, but why do you keep quoting my initial post, lol?

Actually...don't answer. Just keep doing it. It's working.

[BeardoMSU]

Man Preston has been good

He has. Back to early season form.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Cumbest saw a ball not called a strike. He may take this yard.

[magrooder]

Mule with the single

[Commercecomet24]

Good AB Cumbest

[HoopsDawg]

Brad needed that one.

[RocketDawg]

I'd trot him back out there until he starts having problems

Let him finish the game if he can.

[Really Clark?]

Way to go with it Brad!!

[BulldogBear]

Let's go Eustace!

[Cooterpoot]

Tomorrow is Bednar, Cade/Brandon Smith, Sims. Stinnett and Stone are there too. Need 4 tomorrow to win.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Cumbest mini slump broken. Now we need Clark to square one up.

[HoopsDawg]

Get another run or 2 and save pj too

I think PJ is pretty much done. Tomorrow we are looking at Bednar for 5 and Sims for 4. If something goes wrong with that plan, I don't know.

[Really Clark?]

This guy is just a bad match up for Clark

[Lord McBuckethead]

Clark had the right idea on that first pitch. Take that outside slider the other way.

[CadaverDawg]

Cumbest swings it a lot like Wes Rea for a big guy

[PMDawg]

When Clark learns to hit a breaking ball, he's gonna be good.

[Lord McBuckethead]

This guy is just a bad match up for Clark

If I were Clark, I wouldn't even swing at anything spinning inside.

[Commercecomet24]

Dang lane!

[Really Clark?]

Freaking Lane Forsythe!!

[magrooder]

Forsythe becoming an offensive juggernaut

[RocketDawg]

Dang. Forsythe has found the bat. Two hits.

[BeardoMSU]

Lane with 2 hits? Destiny is shining on us, lol.

[Bulldog1]

Tomorrow is Bednar, Cade/Brandon Smith, Sims. Stinnett and Stone are there too. Need 4 tomorrow to win.

Agreed.

[maroonmania]

Forsythe is a hitting machine!

[Bdawg]

Holy shit! Lane heating up!!! Ha ha ha ha

[Lord McBuckethead]

Nice swing Forsythe. Big time single.

[BulldogBear]

Forsythe!!! You're the man.

C'mon Rowdey. It's time.

[mparkerfd20]

Holy shit. Lane hit one out of the infield!!!

[BeardoMSU]

C'mon, Rowdy. Now!

[CadaverDawg]

Foreskin ripping

[HoopsDawg]

Forsythe is a hitting machine!

Yeah, after this game, you have to go with Forsythe over Hatcher if it's a late inning situation.

[Hambone]

Good for him!

[Really Clark?]

Crap!! Almost a big knock

[Lord McBuckethead]

I like that rowdey finally saw the ball leave his bat with some conviction.

[HoopsDawg]

Tomorrow is Bednar, Cade/Brandon Smith, Sims. Stinnett and Stone are there too. Need 4 tomorrow to win.

Disagree. Stinnett can't be on the pitching list for tomorrow. Have to throw strikes vs Vandy. Maybe give Stone the 9th tonight to see how he looks.

My list tomorrow would be: Bednar, Sims, Cade Smith and Brandon Smith. 4 strike throwers.

[Really Clark?]

That was a great pitch on 3-2

[Commercecomet24]

Yeah, after this game, you have to go with Forsythe over Hatcher if it's a late inning situation.

Yeah no question

[maroonmania]

This umpire can't even see the outside corner apparently.

[dawgoneyall]

6-8 inches outside

[BeardoMSU]

I guess the good news Rowdy is 0-5, and we're still winning 8-1. Jeez.

[Commercecomet24]

That was a great pitch on 3-2

Yeah locked him up
