I'm afraid we may be saying the same thing in the 8th inning.

I still fully believe the people in this thread are underestimating this pitcher.

6.73 k9 on the year. I'd much rather face a guy that depends on his defense than a guy with swing and miss stuff

We need a gapper to start the bottom of 5 off and the flood gates break

I can't remember when I didn't know the difference between all the "U" and "State" schools. I can clearly remember being able to distinguish between them at age 8. But I'v always been a big college sports fan.

Honestly the explanation may be simpler than you think. Tin foil hats on please. It's the same reason for a lot of the BS perception stuff in sports media. Sports media is full of Beardsharks. It would not surprise me at all if a lot these "mistakes" could be traced back to UMiss in some way or another. Is it a joke? Is it trying to keep up the perception by masquerading as MSU in order to have people mistakenly give them credit for something we do? Both?

I think a lot of people don't truly realize what a hard on they have for attention.

Good inning by Small

Nice quick inning by Small. Get some runs, boys! Are y'all going to let Wes Rea's cousin beat your ass on the mound

And he has done very well depending on it all year.

Good inning.

Depends on the BB/9 - Maddux and Glavine tormented a lot of teams

I'm a student at a fancy school up north and I have to constantly explain to these supposed geniuses the historical difference between the flagship and land grant schools. And my current school was founded as a land grant school.

And LA swings at Ball 4 dang it!

LA swinging at ball 4. Good grief

Come on Skelton!

Bailed out, shoulda walked. Let's get him in!!

I'd be tempted to bunt Skelton here again. Maybe take a pitch first

This guy was picked on 3rd day of mlb draft. You really wanna compare him to 2 mlb hall of famers?

I would. 1 or 2 runs might win this one. DPs are a killer.

How is Dustin late on 88? What are you expecting it’s the same pitch all game.

It’s the principle - use your head.

So basically a bunt. I'll take it

And Dustin falls down but it equals a sac bunt.

LA gets a 3 foot lead. Smh

Be ready to hit the fastball guys come on! Need this run

But I doubt they work in collegiate sports or broadcasting.

Heat starting to wear Colon down

This game is going to be 0-0 through 12 innings.

Skelton and Westburg are auto outs

Come on Jake.

Dang Westburg. Right down the middle

This stadium is a little embarrassing - was in 2013 too. It’s not baseball if there’s literally 0% chance of a HR

No approach at all from Westburg. Gotta go oppo

P***ies

C'mon Rowdey, make them pay

Come on Rowdy!
