I don't get caught up in conspiracy theories like the NCAA is against us, but you know the NCAA and ESPN do NOT want an ark vs miss state final lol

Disagree. We and Arkansas both quadruple Oregon State's average baseball attendance. Hell, we almost double their average football attendance. Ratings will be much higher with us in there instead of Oregon State.

Add in Heimlich's ... situation ... and you can be sure they would rather Oregon State just go home tonight.

How does Gary not start him off with an breaking ball or CH?

Just ridiculous pitch call

[ChillOutDog]

Need Ethan to get through the lineup twice. Nut cutting time.

[msstate7]

Really Gary?

What kind of shit pitch calling was that?

A cock shot FB in that situation?

I doubt he called a middle up fastball

[I seen it dawg]

We won't come inside. This goes back to our mentality with our staff. Which goes back to henderson.

Trust me, I hate to defend Gary, but I don't think that was meant to be that high. Skelton was set up low and outside. Small has been high all inning long.

[CadaverDawg]

Battle, Ethan.

[Bulldog1]

We refuse to go inside.

Doesn't matter.

You know the hitter wants to be aggressive in that situation & the last thing you want to do is give him a pitch to be aggressive on.

You use his aggressiveness against him there

I'm not sure I want small throwing 88-89 inside to these guys

[KOdawg1]

I'd go to the bullpen now. If we some how come back and win, Small could possibly pitch game 2 vs. Arky

[I seen it dawg]

If we can get this out Small doesn't come back out. He's done. Plus their lineup are about to see him a third time. Get the pen hot let's go

[ChillOutDog]

Thanks blue

Well they dive over the plate and ambush. Coming in is how you combat that. Stay with me.

[CadaverDawg]

Can’t allow us to fall way behind here. Gotta have guys loose, no tomorrow

Seriously doubt anybody would call a cock shot. Jeez man

This! We nibble on the corners too much. Which is really good when done right, but the problem is we constantly have our starters in high pitch counts early because of this. Not to mention we don't show very good command, but to be entirely honest some of that command issues may be because our pitchers are to scared to let loose because Skelton is so bad behind the plate. If they don't trust the catcher, it severely limits the mentality of a pitcher wanting to attack with low FB and Offspeed.

[Bulldog1]

Please get France up.

[KOdawg1]

Come on mane

Small's missing pretty bad. I don't want these guys to see him a 3rd time
