MSU vs ULL

[Todd4State]

Colby Holcombe starting for us against the Ragin Cajuns. Interesting choice. Don't hate it.

[WSOPdawg]

Cool, that is an interesting twist. Hopefully it?s only an inning or two followed by other 1-inning type RPers (so that we don?t burn Colby for the upcoming weekend).

[magrooder]

Let's see what Colby can do starting, he's definitely got the stuff if he can harness it. I like it.

Yeah I'm not expecting him to pitch very long tonight.

[CaptainObvious]

Get a win tonight, take 2 of 3 from the cats, and win next Tuesday and will set up at 16-6 going into Vandy Boys weekend. I think it is doable.

[KOdawg1]

Must win.

[R2Dawg]

If we do that, I don't think anyone can be too disappointed with the start. We knew be a lot of experimenting as we find our way early, same every year especially with pitching even in a championship year.

We got some good young talent that is going to Omaha before they leave. Bulldog baseball ain't dead as some of our opponents would love to believe.

[Commercecomet24]

One of my guys is supposed to be starting for ull tonight. He's been injured and only pitched once this year and got shelled. He pitched at prcc last two years. My son caught him from age 14 until they graduated from West Jones in 20. See if he's healthy enough to go tonight.

100%

My fear is it doesn?t look like the walks problem has been solved yet. That Kentucky ballpark is so small, free passes could lead to 3 run homers. We can?t have that and expect to win the series up there.

May not be solved, but it is considerably better. We have 123 now. A&M now is at 122; SC at 117; and Tenn at 110. A strong 4 games could get us easily down to 3-4 in BB. I'd consider that an achievement the way we started.

[Activated Alpha]

Base, any update on Cade? Has he gotten over whatever respiratory issue he had?

Haven’t heard anything this week but last week it was soon like a week out two. I will also say he is highly motivated to get back on track

[parabrave]

Hope he doesn't have with what I came down with yesterday. Got the 1st out/.

[parabrave]

Got a quick 3 going to the bottom of the 1st,

[Leroy Jenkins]

OK, Holcombe. Not bad.

[KOdawg1]

Wow, Holcombe looked legit that inning

[parabrave]

Lane says he came off the plate.

[Leroy Jenkins]

I think guy may have overslid the bag.

[parabrave]

Good one Lane.

[KOdawg1]

We got away with one there. He was out, but there wasn't an angle that could overturn it. Worked out for us though

[Saltydog]

What in the Sam Hill is going on here? Commerce, I thought you said we'd rake this kid?

[parabrave]

Good throw by Highfill tp get the runner out.

[662dawg]

Colby looking like Roger Clemens right now lol

[parabrave]

Dang Holcombe through 3 with only 33 pitches.

[Commercecomet24]

What in the Sam Hill is going on here? Commerce, I thought you said we'd rake this kid?

Lol I said he's been injured and had only pitched in one game and got shelled. I've known and coached Sam since him and my son were younguns. My son caught him from jr high through all 4 years at West. He can be good but he didn't have a good year last year and still having shoulder issues.

[Saltydog]

They may be figuring him out the second time thru......

[mparkerfd20]

Ump allowed 1st run for ULL. Last 2 pitches to put him on base were strikes he called balls.

They absolutely were strikes. I was hollering at my TV screen lol

[parabrave]

Good Sac.

[Commercecomet24]

Y'all know I'm all Dawg but I was happy for Sam tonight! Just a fine young man from a great family!

[BuckyIsAB****]

Just telling you guys. Alford looks pretty but he aint it

[BuckyIsAB****]

Kellum is a one trick pony. I think has like 2 hits all year that aren?t HRS

[parabrave]

Someone tell Ron and Jim Moss Bluff is north of Lake Charles.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Highfill did a good job of getting Davis back on target. Telling him to basically stay down through him. Good to see from a young catcher.

[Activated Alpha]

Doesn't Davis have a shit ton of walks?

[Mjoelner34]

Lucky blue called a pitch clock violation because he balked bigger than shit on that pitch.

[WSOPdawg]

Way to nut up, Davis. Now stop the mental midget BS walks!!!

[Activated Alpha]

Davis gets the groundout to end the T5 with the bases loaded

[662dawg]

Doesn't Davis have a shit ton of walks?

Always does. This has to be the last of the Tyler Davis experiment unless we're up or down 25 runs.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

2 hits ULL have so far would be outs if Mershon was at 3B

[Commercecomet24]

2 hits ULL have so far would be outs if Mershon was at 3B

Mershon made 3 errors last night and 2 over the weekend so he ain't exactly been brooks Robinson over there

[Saltydog]

He may end up being super but I have very little confidence in Hardin. 5.2 IP and given up 12 hits.........Whip of 3.2.........

Somehow UK is last in HRs only 10 so far in that park. Must be cold this time of year. We have 30+ HRs.

[Commercecomet24]

Our pitching has been pretty dang good from the California game until now. Let's hope we're starting to figure it out.

[Leroy Jenkins]

I'm sorry but I like the bunt. I know I'm old. Get off my lawn.

[Commercecomet24]

I'm sorry but I like the bunt. I know I'm old. Get off my lawn.

I don't like bunting but in that situation, yes. Late inning add another run, good call.

[Leroy Jenkins]

I should have said I like "that" bunt.

[Saltydog]

Nobody saw a weak ground out to second coming from Hancock, rolls eyes. . . . .Luke's left runners on base all night........

[KOdawg1]

70% of the time, Hancock is going to:

A) roll over the ball to the right side for a grounder

Or

B) pop up to the left side

Option A has happened 3 times tonight

[Leroy Jenkins]

Better pack a jacket this weekend. Highs in the 40's, lows in the 20's. 15mph wind.

[WSOPdawg]

yup, like clockwork

[The Federalist Engineer]

Mershon made 3 errors last night and 2 over the weekend so he ain't exactly been brooks Robinson over there

Only has 2 official errors, but 778 from Mershon and 769 for Alford is pretty horror-show at 3B fielding percentage. Mershon started out ok.

Hujsak was a starting SS for VCU. But a 900 fielding percentage

That's only because we have poor score keeping. Heck he made 2 on one play last night. Over the weekend they scored his boots hits but they were errors

[Activated Alpha]

This game isn't over by far. ULL has 1st and 3rd with 1 outs. Also, how does one go about recruiting a legit 3rd baseman??

[Commercecomet24]

I should have said I like "that" bunt.

I gotcha and I agree with you.

[Activated Alpha]

Clark got on his horse to run down that ball that was crushed. Sac fly makes it 4-2 with runner on 2nd

[662dawg]

Dohm just looks like that dude 😂😭🤣

[Commercecomet24]

I would give Hujsak a shot at third. The dude does something good every time he plays. He was a ss and although he wasn't a great fielder he can't be worse than we've seen over there so far and he's got pop and can run.

[Activated Alpha]

Going with Dohm. Not sure if I like burning Dohm at this point; would have liked to save him for Friday just in case

[Commercecomet24]

Dohm got some Landon Sims in him.

[662dawg]

Hes only gonna pitch an 1 & a third inning. He can go Friday if we need him.

[Commercecomet24]

Keep his pitch count down he could go one Friday if needed and one Sunday

[Leroy Jenkins]

Dohm got some Landon Sims in him.

Assuming Nixon comes back good, Dohm could move back into the starting rotation if needed. He started games last year.


But he is really good in his current role, don't know if I would mess with it.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Time for Dakota Jordan to start getting some of Clark?s ABs

[Activated Alpha]

Good deal

[Commercecomet24]

He absolutely could start but I've heard Lemonis wants to have a strong bullpen based on what happened last year. We blew 14 games we had the lead 7th inn or later last year. Heard he's keeping dohm there no matter what

[Commercecomet24]

Dohm has Landon fb and bednar slider. Dominate!

[662dawg]

Dohm is that dude.

[662dawg]

Landon's fast ball plus 3-4 mph at that lol.

[Activated Alpha]

Looked like a ball, but I'll take the strikeout

[R2Dawg]

Dohm got some Landon Sims in him.

Yeah he does. I think we found our nasty closer. 95-99 fast ball with movement.

I still like Nixion when he returns; we may have two good closers.

Don't look now but we are finding some pieces.

[Commercecomet24]

Landon's fast ball plus 3-4 mph at that lol.

Yep. He gonna make some money one day!

[KB21]

Seven in a row

[HoopsDawg]

That's only because we have poor score keeping. Heck he made 2 on one play last night. Over the weekend they scored his boots hits but they were errors

I get irrationally mad at our scorekeeper. Lol.

[WSOPdawg]

Our pitching has been pretty dang good from the California game until now. Let's hope we're starting to figure it out.

How about a 2.36 team ERA with 73 Ks and 35 BB in 61 innings. Definitely wanna see the BBs keep coming down, but getting a 2:1 K-BB ratio. I like it.

[Commercecomet24]

I get irrationally mad at our scorekeeper. Lol.

Me too! The scoring is little league mom level!

[Commercecomet24]

Kids are starting to get their roles down and confidence and we've got a lot of talent on this pitching staff. I agree keep improving with the bbs and we got something good going! Heck every game we've lost this year has been mostly caused by walks.

[Commercecomet24]

Good deal

Now that's just my opinion. Lemonis and Foxhall don't consult me on these deals lol.

[basedog]

U da man 24!

No you da man! Thanks, Base!

Anyone watching this Puerto Rico vs Dominican Republic game?

Dude was soul crushing tonight!

I like that! We should get some shirts made, "Dohm the Soul Crusher!"

Geez that's even better!

Perfect!

Be a cool way for Dohm to pick up some more nil dollars with some shirts.

Lol Jaden's just an ol country boy! If he'd stuck with me he'd be playing baseball right now, he had that much raw ability on the baseball field.
