CWS thread

[parabrave]

Well I'll Jinx them. OM has sewn it up/ Give Elko the MVP to help my BYA totals.

[Commercecomet24]

I remember telling this board Tennessee losing before OM wasn't a good thing

Why Tennessee proved they weren't invincible if notre dame could beat em om dang sure could.

[CaptainObvious]

If you don?t think that powder blue wearing bunch didn?t get together for a heart to heart after they sneaked in by the skin of their teeth, after getting bbq?d in Hoover, I got a house on top of Mt Everest with no heat that I?ll sell ya. And once they got there, then it became a point of them being tired of being State?s bitch. They are about to level things up in baseball with their big brother.

[Activated Alpha]

Honestly I don?t even think I could stomach TN winning a Natty with the way they acted this year. At least Bianco has his players play with humbleness and respect to the game. I could live with OM winning because then it means Lemonis will definitely feel the heat after the Texas style abortion of our season

Edit to add that if OM wins, which I pray to God Almighty they don?t, I hope God makes it up to us in football this year

[maroonmania]

Why Tennessee proved they weren't invincible if notre dame could beat em om dang sure could.

The way OM is pitching nobody is going to beat them or would have beaten them. Heck, Ark held the OM offense to 2 runs in back to back games and could still only win one of those and only won that one by a run.

Yeah they're definitely on a roll.

[ImissCityBagel]

Who did we have that struck out Elko?

[Activated Alpha]

Who did we have that struck out Elko?

Sims would have made him his bitch. But it definitely wasn?t Tullar or Stinnett

[Commercecomet24]

Who did we have that struck out Elko?

We struck him out a bunch and handled him well because we didn't throw him fbs. Dude cannot hit off speed at all and there's no reason to throw him a fb unless it's off the plate or way inside.

ETA he went 3 for 16 with 9 ks against us this year

[Bothrops]

This is humiliating. We literally have nothing on Ole Miss anymore in anything. Why God? Why? We are gonna lose our 3rd straight EB while OM celebrates halftime holding the NC trophy up in our face, probably on the way to a pretty good bowl, while we go to Gasparilla, Birmingham, or some bullshit. At least we got our luxury booths!

[ImissCityBagel]

The Oklahoma broadcast sounds so innocent.....the Arkansas broadcasters sound like they were doing shots of bourbon and holding back tears.

Except we have the exact same trophy in hand…. That’s if they can seal it up… remember, it’s baseball…

[MedDawg]

Who did we have that struck out Elko?

State struck out 32 Rebs in our 3 games against them in 2021.

[EdwardDrayton]

^^^^^^^^^^^

[ImissCityBagel]

That was a horrible call

[parabrave]

Well that HR might be all they need.

[Offshore Dawg]

Is there a record for missed catchable fly balls because I think Oklahoma will own it.

[mparkerfd20]

Worst rule in the history of baseball

[Lord McBuckethead]

That was a horrible call

That may be the worst call I have ever seen in baseball history. The guy bunted. Ran directly down the damn chalk line, if anything he was running in foul territory on the line. Dude crosses up the first baseman, and he gets called. That was horseshit.

[Maroonthirteen]

Yep. That's it. Oklahoma can't hit OM. They are just putrid at the plate.

[maroonmania]

Yep. That's it. Oklahoma can't hit OM. They are just putrid at the plate.

Nobody has been able to him OM pitching during post-season.

[BuckyIsAB****]

That is a horrible call and a horrible rule

[msstate7]

Had no idea the game was even on... I turned it with 2 outs and no one on. It's now tied, and OM changing pitchers. I'm gonna claim I jinxed OM if Oklahoma wins this

[Cooterpoot]

Tied up. Need a big hit here or OK is in trouble with pen pitching.

[Tater]

That is a horrible call and a horrible rule

According to my youth league case law rule book... the call for interference on a behind runner doesn't revert the ahead runners if they have reached their next base at the moment of interference.

So either the rule at the college level is wrong. Or needs to be changed.

[Lord McBuckethead]

That 17n Karma has to help OU. Need a base hit here.

[maroonmania]

So either the rule at the college level is wrong. Or needs to be changed.

Something definitely smells about the way they called that or the way the college rule is written. The OK guy had already slid across home plate before Elliott even released the throw toward first base.

[ImissCityBagel]

IMO if there were more OU fans I don't think the umps favor Ole Miss as much.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Master effort on squaring up for a bunt 4 consecutive pitches.

[mparkerfd20]

Why even fake bunt on next batter tho? Terrible coaching

[Lord McBuckethead]

Then a terrible call to square up to bunt sitting 3-1. That is the pitch to look down the pipe.

Like given the count, you pick either fastball or slider and sit on that one pitch. Anything else, let it go. Dude squared and let a 77 mph slider go down the pipe. Easy pitch to handle, and he wasted it.

[Bdawg]

Could have extended the lead but OU can't hit anything. One hit with 2 outs started all that but that's it. OU got lucky with a chink pop up. Hopefully karma for that interference.

[EdwardDrayton]

3-1 count. Bases loaded. Ahead 2-1. Elimination game. Know you’re getting a fastball. And you square with fake bunt attempt.

No balls at all.

[Bdawg]

Then a terrible call to square up to bunt sitting 3-1. That is the pitch to look down the pipe.

Was a gut pitch to smoke!!

[Commercecomet24]

Yeah om ain't hitting much either. Horton has shoved it

[State82]

Yeah om ain't hitting much either. Horton has shoved it
Did they say Horton had TJ surgery 16 months ago?

[ImissCityBagel]

OU just needs to mash one out of the yard to get a little swagger going.

[BuckyIsAB****]

They just cannot hit

[Cooterpoot]

OM has their big dogs coming up in the 9th (or sooner if trouble for OK). Setting up to piss us all off.

[Tater]

Something definitely smells about the way they called that or the way the college rule is written. The OK guy had already slid across home plate before Elliott even released the throw toward first base.

it's more about the runner at second. the rule in college reads that you have "to go back to the last base you legally attained".

As an umpire you use judgment there and 2nd / Home had been legally attained. Bad interpretation

[EdwardDrayton]

You don’t win championships hoping the other team gifts it to you.

[bobtail bob]

If this holds and Dirty Mike and the boys can do Dirty Mike things tomorrow that “ I don’t have to be me till Monday “ ad for the casino they have on loop on Yellums broadcast is a joke that is going to write itself.

[msstate7]

They just cannot hit

Has anyone hit OM in the tourney?

[EdwardDrayton]

Has anyone hit OM in the tourney?

At least swing the bat and try

[ImissCityBagel]

Wouldn't mind that Horton guy pitching for us. Good placement and ice in his veins.

[ImissCityBagel]

Ole Miss is about to score 90 runs on this guy.

[Cooterpoot]

Told y'all. OK has no pen at all

[Quaoarsking]

This pitcher picked the wrong game to choke in

[mparkerfd20]

Choke

[EdwardDrayton]

They lost this game in top 8th.

Didn’t come to play like men. Little boys in short pants.

[Cooterpoot]

OK catcher has been bad and pitchers can't hold runners with their slow ass deliveries. Been a big part of these games too.

[Vandownbytheriver]

I've never seen a team collapse like this in a big game.

[Lord McBuckethead]

OU catcher basically missed catching two strikes for two OM runs scored. Damn. That is brutal.

[Lord McBuckethead]

That first pitch was a damn strike the catcher missed.

[msstate7]

OU catcher basically missed catching two strikes for two OM runs scored. Damn. That is brutal.

1 was a cross up, so I'd blame pitcher on 1st

[Maroonthirteen]

I saw better catchers in Mel Ott league at Propst Park.

That catcher cost OU 3 runs in 2 games.

[EdwardDrayton]

I’m out. I can’t watch it.

[msstate7]

I'm not much of a college baseball fan, and one of the main reasons is the strike zones. These umps turn the sport in to a 2nd rate sport

[msstate7]

What's sucks is they gonna be much better than us next season too. Gonzalez and Elliot are AA types

[Dawg2003]

Even though we all knew it was going to happen, it's still sickening.

[NCDawg]

Ole Miss is much the better team. Amazing Oklahoma got to the finals.

[Catfish]

Well, this just sucks.

[msstate7]

Good thing they have no shot at a title per cooter

[maroonmania]

OM pitching staff in post-season was lights out and the reason they won it. Difficult to beat a team twice when you are going to have to do it scoring 2 or 3 runs at most. And the OM offense is not easy to hold down to nothing. Figured this game would go OM's way somehow once the interference call cost OU a run.

[BankerDog]

Nobody remembers the runners up huh cp?

And you thought we shoved it down the throats last year, they?ll take it up a notch and capitalize more than we did. We made it to three straight CWS appearances and a Natty and didn?t have better recruiting class nor transfer portal success.

[Vandownbytheriver]

Once they got in, it was over. Everyone turned on them during the season and it struck a nerve. Very reminiscent of last year. All the armchair coaches got exactly what they deserved. Some of y'all talked this shit into existence.

I think they're gonna really capitalize on this, unfortunately. I'm still not sure we can even make a regional next year

[Cooterpoot]

I tip my hat to their sorry asses. LOL
Give them credit, they played great ball the last month. And looks like they out recruited us the last couple years too. Their young guys are better than ours.

Yeah Canni was a d bag, but I miss how well he recruited.

That?s the most concerning thing to me. Our missed have been big misses. We have fallen in love with the spin rates and ext velocities instead of ball players. It also doesn?t look like the portal has been good to us yet. I like the Samford kid. If we get the Nixon kid, AF pitcher, and Stetson kid, I?ll feel better.

The more college sports (baseball included) becomes about straight out paying recruits and transfers to come to your school or keep them there the more the advantage swings to OM in everything. They have way more boosters with extra spending cash interested in doing that than we do and have already been buying players under the table for years anyway. NIL in its current form is not going to go well for us. Yes, we will have a big athletic budget just by being in the SEC but you can't use that money to buy players unfortunately. We don't have the doctors and lawyer graduates that just have money out the wazoo to throw away on buying college athletes.

You?re wrong there. I know a good bit of State grads who are lawyers, one of whom is a former State baseball player. I also know a good majority of people at UMMC are State grads. Our problem is very evident-when people post here about the Bulldog Initiative people complain about not having to give money yet complain when we don?t have NIL money. So it?s time for people to start putting their money where their mouth is.

[Cooterpoot]

Hell, we haven't recruited great without NIL. This staff might be too late to save their asses if they don't get what we need and develop some guys.

[maroonmania]

good majority of people at UMMC are State grads.

You would have to show me some statistics on that for me to believe it. I know we have some undergraduates that remain loyal to MSU that go to medical school at UMMC but I would be shocked if it was a majority. Best way to get NIL money is for Bulldog Club members to take that money and send to the NIL collective. That is certainly what I'm thinking about doing. I don't see a bunch of MSU fans spending money on season tickets and all the expenses of going to games, giving to the Bulldog Club and then still sending in a wad to the NIL fund. There is more to life than college sports and higher priorities in life for most folks.

The good thing about NIL is there aren't fixed "dues" that you have to pay to keep your seats so to speak. So people can at least make it fit their budget a bit more.

I may be wrong but from judging how their team and fans reacted this seemed more like something to help them cope with what we did last year rather than a celebration. It seemed more like a "relief" whereas last year for us it was more of a celebration.

[Turfdawg67]

#3, #9, #6. That's not good recruiting?

[Joebob]

Well, on the bright side, if there is one, our local DFW CBS sportscaster reminded everyone *twice* on his sportscast that MSU won the Natty last year.

[Goldendawg]

Now that this is over, can whoever on here said that McCants & Gonzalez were going to transfer to us tell me when the announcement will be made? On pins and needles!*******

[BeardoMSU]

Good thing they have no shot at a title per cooter

And we're all a bunch off pissy pants pussies for even thinking they did, lol.
