CWS Finals Game 2 Thread: State vs. Vandy

[BeardoMSU]

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!

[Catfish]

I think our team shows up tonight with fire and grit. Backs to the wall, they get it done. Hail State!

[Cowbell]

Thanks for starting Beardo / it's a new day.

[StarkVegasSteve]

So anyone want to take a shot at who we start tonight? I imagine it's Harding, but I could see us going bullpen to try to keep them off balance early and then getting the ball to Landon.

[R2Dawg]

Yep we are in our element now. We get it done tonight.

[DawgFromOxford]

LETS GO BOYS!!! Can't win it in game 3 if you don't lose 1.

PS - Still looking for 4 tickets for tonight.

[WinningIsRelentless]

Got to hit the damn baseball tonight.

[KOdawg1]

I kinda hope they're stupid and start Rocker tonight. It won't happen because he's on short rest, but if they pitched him and we some how won, we'd win tomorrow. It's like a band aid imo. Just rip it off now.

Maybe, maybe not. First if we are going to lose, i'd like to go down fighting and at least win one.

Second, we can get Rocker with right approach at plate. We swung at too many balls he threw first time. And if Bednar is on, it could be like a 3-2 game. Get Rocker pitch count up and him out and we can get it done.

[KOdawg1]

Maybe, maybe not. First if we are going to lose, i'd like to go down fighting and at least win one.


Haha I'm the opposite. If we're going to lose, I'd rather not pay $300+ per ticket for another game. Of course, I'd do it, but my bank account is suffering up here lol

You can always sell your other prosthetic leg****

[chef dixon]

They can't afford to start Rocker tonight on short rest. They have to keep him for tomorrow v Bednar. Honestly they probably feel confident they can beat Hootie today without him though.

[Cowbell]

Who is vandy starting

[Rex54]

Let's hope Sims can give us 7 innings of shutout baseball. Just fill up the zone and let the stuff do work.

[KOdawg1]

Who is vandy starting

Christian Little if I had to guess.

4.87 ERA, 47 Ks, 18 BBs in 40.2 IP. Just a freshman, but his stuff is good.

[preachermatt83]

Just don’t feel like we can pull it off. If we had bednar avalaible we prob could but I just think we have done all we can do

Thanks, Beardo!

To McBuckethead, your track record of 4 out of 5 was commendable. 🙂

[KOdawg1]

I feel great about tonight... which means we'll lose by 6.

But this team has responded with it's back against the wall all year. I just don't see them laying down.

[Bert Stare]

I think our team shows up tonight with fire and grit. Backs to the wall, they get it done. Hail State!

I agree with this 100%. I was there last night and will be there again tonight. We basically played them evenly for 8 innings. Game 1 against Leiter was not an anticipated victory anyways. I still think we win the next 2. After attending in person both the 2013 and 2021 finals, we have got to get an early lead and keep the crowd engaged somehow. UCLA and Vandy have both killed our homefield advantage in Omaha.

I was hoping you would show up and tell us we would lose because you have connections and were in the know and that everything was a done deal already***

[The Federalist Engineer]

Good job Beardo, now I am only on the radio and I will wear my MSU Under Armor shirt. My neighbors have been asking if that's the only shirt I own, so I wore a black MSU polo yesterday. Tuesday Black was a mistake.

[Bert Stare]

Bert in the house. Give us a good rumor

Only one I have at the moment is that Luke Hancock is 100% not returning to MSU next year. I don't understand it because I think he would be a key piece of our line up in 2022. He is going pro 🤷 ... not transferring.

The only way he goes pro is independent ball like Macnamee. He ain't getting drafted in a 20 round draft.

[Bert Stare]

The only way he goes pro is independent ball like Macnamee. He ain't getting drafted in a 20 round draft.

That is what I am thinking as well. It is kind of mind boggling because he could take a big step next year with another year at state. He has potential for sure, but I believe his mind is made up already.

[Cowbell]

Tanner and Rowdy should really be an example of what happens when you stay.

Sweet, so Hancock is returning.

[Cooterpoot]

Vandy can't hit worth a crap. That's our hope tonight. No walks and 5-7 runs our way will win it. Time to punch them in their rich Vandy cooters so hard Corbin has a stroke.

[Dawg2003]

Once the NCAA moved Vandy to the finals, I resigned myself to the fact that we would probably lose. I think whoever was going to come out of our bracket got hosed. It absolutely sucks because it's so hard to get this far. Baseball post season has so many games, and it's emotionally draining.

I do think we can win tonight, but tomorrow will be hard with Rocker. This team seems to like to really play like crap for a game and then win a few in a row. I was convinced we were dead in the water after the second Notre Dame game, but I was wrong.

[FISHDAWG]

Thanks for starting Beardo / it's a new day.

Beardo = Elitedawgs reliever ... here's to hoping he has it going tonight

Once again, State fans are anxious and on the end of their seats and here comes Bert again... and you all are fueling his trolling fire.

I understand; my oldest daughter is up there too. Winning one would be one step closer than we've ever been so.

[msstate7]

Bert is just what the team needed to get us a win tonight.

[Homedawg]

I've heard if he gets drafted he's gone.

[Turfdawg67]

Bert is just what the team needed to get us a win tonight.

Comic relief does nothing to our team's pitching/hitting... or dumb coaching decisions for that matter.

[Cowbell]

If we win tonight, I'm giving the credit to Bert. Big players show up in big time moments!

<<<<(The joke)>>>>>

*Your Head*

[msstate7]

I've heard if he gets drafted he's gone.

He's gonna have to hope someone takes a flyer on him as a catcher imo. I don't think he's good enough as a hitter to be drafted as a 1b, and other than catcher, I don't see a spot

[Lord McBuckethead]

I kinda hope they're stupid and start Rocker tonight. It won't happen because he's on short rest, but if they pitched him and we some how won, we'd win tomorrow. It's like a band aid imo. Just rip it off now.

If we would have won yesterday, Rocker would have started tonight, but they have the advantage now. Except for the distinct possibility our hitting gets red hot over the next 18 innings. We are in there blind spot boys. As Jack Reacher says, "I am the one you didn't see coming, I (we are) am in your blind spot."

[Lord McBuckethead]

Thanks, Beardo!

To McBuckethead, your track record of 4 out of 5 was commendable. 🙂

Even me, doing everything in my power, wasn't enough to overcome 4 straight walks to open the 1st inning along with 3 hits and 7 runs. I mean, shit guys.... right.
I did everything I could.

I love Jack Reacher. I'm not much of a reader, but I read those books

[Lord McBuckethead]

I love Jack Reacher. I'm not much of a reader, but I read those books

My favorite line comes from the first Jack Reacher movie.
He is in the bar and the girl Sandy comes up to talk to him.
He says to her, that he is sorry, but he cannot afford her.
She is like, "I am not a Hooker."
He goes, "Well then I definitely cannot afford you. Women you pay for in advance is usually cheaper."

Dude comes up and is like, "Is this guy bothering you, Sandy?"
Sandy says, "He called me a whore."
Reacher says, "She said whore, I implied hooker."

Guy from the back, "Hey you cannot talk our sister that way!"
Reacher looks, "Is she a good kisser?"

Best line of the movie. Roll Tide.

Looks like Harding. Should have been expected, Lemonis has bundled the pitching like hell the last 4 games.

When facts are negative... I guess. I also don't believe in karma or luck. Although, I don't watch many games b/c I think I'm a jinx. True story. (Eye rolling emoji)

No asterisk, therefore no sarcasm there, my friend. Apologies if it read that way. Also, not superstition either, really. Only saying I appreciate your efforts no matter the outcome.

And besides, when you picked up the ball and ran with it, I just knew we were in for the win. ...... so much for the Not Superstitious comment. 🙄

[RocketDawg]

Weather delay - not much on radar but the tarp is still out on the field.

Naw man, we are good. I seriously thought I was bringing the mojo. I do feel really calm tonight though. I was all covered in anxiety yesterday. If we have learned anything about this team, they fight. Even last night. Shut those asshats down, except the 1st inning.

[AROB44]

That's only because you are a veteran and used to losing. Same thing happened to me... it's not zen or some sorta foresight... it's just what we know. Unfortunately....

Damn....it's such a shame you aren't our baseball coach. You are great as an armchair coach.
Seems like everything I've been saying has come to fruition... We will see Sims before the 5th inning tonight. And we will be losing when he comes in. That's my prediction. I hope we can score 2+ runs on their pen and Sims throws 5+ innings of shutout ball.

Everything you have said has not come to fruition. Less than maybe 15%

[Rex54]

Tim Corbin is loathsome

[Rex54]

Way to work quick

[magrooder]

Why are they f'n with Harding? He's doing what he's done all year.

[magrooder]

That's the way to start the game, show your nuts Hootie!

[RocketDawg]

Excellent first inning.

[chef dixon]

Good vibes

[Commercecomet24]

Good start for hootie now let's get him some runs

[R2Dawg]

That is what I'm talking about. Harding dominant.

[RocketDawg]

Why are they f'n with Harding? He's doing what he's done all year.

Something about the way he was standing on the rubber. No idea what he was doing wrong.

[Commercecomet24]

Tim Corbin is loathsome

That's something I can agree with you on but you're being to kind

[Bdawg]

Please let's jump on them quick like they did us and roll through some of their bullpen!!

[maroonmania]

Way to start us off Harding! Now let's get some runs.

[RocketDawg]

We should be able to hit a high school kid. Even though he's pretty good.

[Bdawg]

Rowdy, we need you hitting line drives buddy. That was a good pitch to hit.

[msstate7]

Damn, we needed that leadoff walk

[R2Dawg]

Little is wild. Plate discipline

[HaggardDawg]

This guy can?t locate. We need to be patient

[RocketDawg]

The kid's got a great curveball.

[Rex54]

Jesus Tanner

[msstate7]

Well, you see the next great sec ace

[Bdawg]

The kid's got a great curveball.

Only thing he can throw right now.

[Fader21]

Anyone seeing the Orbs floating around on the TV? I hope it's Jack Cristil instead of dead Indians.

[msstate7]

Gotta make em pay

[Bdawg]

Make them pay!!!

[maroonmania]

Come on Luke, make them pay!

[R2Dawg]

The kid's got a great curveball.

He does; he has potential to be real good next year.

[magrooder]

That's the way to make them pay!!

[msstate7]

Make them pay!!!

And we did

[Really Clark?]

Yes Hancock!!! Yeah baby!!

[Bdawg]

Damn James! Quit adjusting helmet and run!!!

[starkvegasdawg]

That's some aggressive base running.

[Statecoachingblows**]

Nice!!

[BeardoMSU]

Luuuuuuuuke!

Thanks for the error, dipshit.

[RocketDawg]

Nice! Thought we weren't going to score, but it shows what I know.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Got a run and working that pitch count up

[R2Dawg]

Hancock delivers again.

[Bdawg]

Lem getting aggressive on bases!!

[maroonmania]

That will work.

[magrooder]

Keep the pressure on!

[Rex54]

Atta boy Luke!!

[R2Dawg]

State owns that stadium. Awesome.

[Statecoachingblows**]

Crowd sounds awesome on tv

[msstate7]

I might would turn him loose here

[BeardoMSU]

4 pitch walk to Logan.

[RocketDawg]

Anyone seeing the Orbs floating around on the TV? I hope it's Jack Cristil instead of dead Indians.

Hold on - checking the UAP report that was released a few days ago.

[Bdawg]

Keep throwing balls baby!!!

[magrooder]

Let's go Dubrule. You can hit this high schooler

[msstate7]

Come on Scotty

[msstate7]

Dang, dubrule was on that

[Bdawg]

Get to 3/2 so we can run

[RocketDawg]

1-0 a lot better than 0-0.

[msstate7]

A 3-2 curve. That was gutsy

[Bdawg]

When was Debrules last hit?

[maroonmania]

I still can't figure out how Dubrule got all of those base hits at Jacksonville?

[Skydawg1]

When was Debrules last hit?Jacksonville

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Harding with an efficient first inning.

Little with about 25 pitches in the first.

[Bdawg]

A 3-2 curve. That was gutsy

It's his best pitch right now. I figured it was coming.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Glad to see Lemonis aggressive early.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Jacksonville

Yall hating but he has been pretty good since about the ole miss series

[msstate7]

It's his best pitch right now. I figured it was coming.

It was nasty

[SilentSteel16]

Hootie fills up the zone with strikes, don?t try and strike out everyone. Focus on strikes. We put the ball in play?. We win

[maroonmania]

It's his best pitch right now. I figured it was coming.

Yep, he is locating it better than the fastball.

[Really Clark?]

When was Debrules last hit?

Last night

[magrooder]

Good play Scotty

[SilentSteel16]

Amazing things happen when you throw strikes.

[maroonmania]

Nice play Scotty!

[magrooder]

crap

[R2Dawg]

Well crap

[SilentSteel16]

GET AHEAD. 2-0 count. Dinger. Get ahead you win.

[Bdawg]

Got down 2-0 and paid for it.

[Activated Alpha]

Cant do that. Didn?t even looked that hard of a hit

[msstate7]

Harding was close to back-to-back Hrs.

[mparkerfd20]

Any other LF in the CWS catches that. Oh well

[maroonmania]

Crap

[RocketDawg]

Need some more runs now. Wonder if their relief pitcher will come in.

[bostondawg]

*watches a strike that filled up the zone get deposited into the bullpen*

[magrooder]

Any other LF in the CWS catches that. Oh well

Not hardly

[Activated Alpha]

Come on Bulldogs, let us have some good ABs and get the lead back

[R2Dawg]

Can't get down 2-0

[Bdawg]

I thought this place is suppose to be a homerun killer?

[HaggardDawg]

I hear no whistle

[msstate7]

Solo HR not that big of a deal. If they getting good swings next inning too though, I'm getting pen ready

[RocketDawg]

Any other LF in the CWS catches that. Oh well

Only if he was 10 feet tall. It was well over Cumbest's head.

[Commercecomet24]

Any other LF in the CWS catches that. Oh well

You forgot these*****

[R2Dawg]

We need to hit Little and get him out and work thru their bullpen all night.

[BuckyIsAB****]

He may have hit it out but at least hooty challenged him and didnt walk him. they wont beat us with Hrs.

[Bdawg]

Any other LF in the CWS catches that. Oh well

What the hell are you watching?

[CadaverDawg]

I thought this place is suppose to be a homerun killer?

Not against us

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Because we aren’t walking folks, the homer is a solo shot, not a 3-run shot. Harding is in good shape. Efficient. I like where we are right now.

[smootness]

Any other LF in the CWS catches that. Oh well

LOLOLOL

[MoreCowbell]

I will take that over walking people all day every day at least he is throwing strikes

[Commercecomet24]

Yeah just no walks keep throwing strikes

[mparkerfd20]

You forgot these*****

Didn't forget nothing. Had plenty of time to climb the wall. Oh well maybe it was further than it looked after rewatching it.

[CadaverDawg]

He may have hit it out but at least hooty challenged him and didnt walk him. they wont beat us with Hrs.

I agree. I'd rather lose 10-1 on 10 homers than to walk guys that lead to their runs

[maroonmania]

Any other LF in the CWS catches that. Oh well

Maybe if Manut Bol was playing LF he would have gotten it.

[smootness]

Didn't forget nothing. Had plenty of time to climb the wall. Oh well maybe it was further than it looked after rewatching it.

Dude, that is just flat out ridiculous.

[Commercecomet24]

Didn't forget nothing. Had plenty of time to climb the wall. Oh well maybe it was further than it looked after rewatching it.

Yeah no ones catching that one.

[Activated Alpha]

However our fly balls don?t fly. They just die

[RocketDawg]

Their left fielder loses his hat every time he catches a ball.

[BeardoMSU]

Damn, Kellum....thought that was gone.

[magrooder]

Way to go Kellum! Just barely missed the HR

[BeardoMSU]

C'mon Lane.....please please please.

[maroonmania]

Dang, we needed that over the wall.

[R2Dawg]

Dang Clark missed it by a few inches.

[mparkerfd20]

No one's catching Clark's bullet that's for aure.

[magrooder]

Get you one Lane, come on man

[SilentSteel16]

Down 2-0 you have to throw it as hittable. Keep filling up the zone. Just get ahead in the count.

[R2Dawg]

Walk Lane

Need Clark in

[R2Dawg]

Lane with some power

[BeardoMSU]

Nice carry, Lane. At least it was productive.

[preachermatt83]

Damn, Kellum....thought that was gone.

That was one of the hardest hit balls I’ve seen all year. I bet exit velo was 110+

[magrooder]

That ball carried pretty good. Need a wild pitch or base hit

[SilentSteel16]

Good AB for him

[Really Clark?]

That a good ride Lane!

[Bdawg]

I believe that little stair step in the wall cost Clark a homer.

[BeardoMSU]

Jesus, Rowdy. See a pitch.

[R2Dawg]

That hurt

[Activated Alpha]

Damn Rowdy. Dude is slumping. We have to capitalize on our chances

[magrooder]

Come on Rowdey, we need base hits tonight

[maroonmania]

Wasted double. Like I said, needed it over the wall.

[Bdawg]

Jesus Rowdy. Get clutch man. We need you!!

[BuckyIsAB****]

Shitty at bat rowdey. Thats bad

[Cooterpoot]

Rowdy reaching a mile for balls.

[msstate7]

2 feet is the difference between 2-1 and 1-1.

[BulldogBear]

Gawd Rowdey. Live like a lead off man ffs.

[preachermatt83]

I couldn’t stand the thought of being a senior and choking Everytime I had a big moment arise in the cws

[starkvegasdawg]

Can't let him off the hook like this.

[RocketDawg]

Has Rowdey had a hit lately?

[CadaverDawg]

Rowdey, if you're going to swing at the first pitch, it better be one you can rip. C'mon man

[BuckyIsAB****]

Has Rowdey had a hit lately?

Hasnt since Virginia I believe

[CadaverDawg]

Rowdey used to hit the ball the other way, now we roll over on all the offspeed stuff. Gotta take it oppo

[Really Clark?]

Has Rowdey had a hit lately?

He had 2 against the last Texas game

[Activated Alpha]

No walks Harding!!

Good job with the pop up

[Commercecomet24]

Rowdey had hits against Texas Saturday

[Bdawg]

Rowdey, if you're going to swing at the first pitch, it better be one you can rip. C'mon man

Yeah first pitch dribblers don't make me happy.

[R2Dawg]

Harding on an incredible pace. Only 25 pitches in 2.3

[Really Clark?]

Good grief people, last night was the only game Rowdy hasn't got a hit in the WS.

[magrooder]

Harding missing really low

[BulldogBear]

Rowdy reaching a mile for balls.

Definitely in a slump. He's been a near automatic out for the last few games.

[Activated Alpha]

No walks Harding come on!!

Damn. We cannot afford walks. He looks like he is a little too hyped

[RocketDawg]

Harding's holding onto the ball too long.

[msstate7]

Harding can't face the lineup again

[magrooder]

Why doesn't Fox go talk to him?

[R2Dawg]

2 feet is the difference between 2-1 and 1-1.

And 4 ft could be 3-0

[Commercecomet24]

Good grief people, last night was the only game Rowdy hasn't got a hit in the WS.
Yeah folks have short memories

[preachermatt83]

Foxhall is the reason out pitchers nibble. He is an awful pitch caller.

[MoreCowbell]

Harding on an incredible pace. Only 25 pitches in 2.3

Kiss of death

[Bdawg]

That last looked like a strike to me

[Rex54]

Get Sims loose

[RocketDawg]

Shouldn't Lemonis keep a pitcher warmed up all the time tonight?

[bobtail bob]

Terrible. That’s almost a guaranteed run against us.

[BulldogBear]

Don't walk this guy trying to avoid the bunt.

[Really Clark?]

Rowdy is hitting .285 for the series coming into tonight. That's with his 0-4 night last night. .353 prior to last night and y'all think he is slumping?

[magrooder]

Two down, let's get out of it

[Commercecomet24]

Rowdy is hitting .285 for the series coming into tonight. That's with his 0-4 night last night. .353 prior to last night and y'all think he is slumping?

What have you done for me lately lol

[State82]

He is about to be in trouble.

[preachermatt83]

Foxhall has no idea how important first pitch strike is

[Activated Alpha]

Rowdy is hitting .285 for the series coming into tonight. That's with his 0-4 night last night. .353 prior to last night and y'all think he is slumping?

You are right. Just every time we have RISP he seems to not get that clutch hit. That is what we are remembering

[CadaverDawg]

Foxhall looks like the faces people put on a tree in their yard

[RocketDawg]

OK, good inning at the end.

[BeardoMSU]

Good pick from Kam right there.

[BulldogBear]

Good job D and P

[magrooder]

Good out. Let's score some runs!

[Really Clark?]

Way to work out of it Harding!!

[chef dixon]

Way to grind Hootie

[Activated Alpha]

Great job of battling Harding. Now come on Dawgs, let?s get some runs here and get the lead

[preachermatt83]

Hootie is keeping his pitch count down anyway

[maroonmania]

At least Hootie is competing. We HAVE to have some offense tonight.

[bobtail bob]

We need to get some cushion for Hoot….

[R2Dawg]

Get Sims loose

Rex you are funny.
