MSU vs AU Game 1

[MaroonFlounder]

Out of the healthy pitchers (which aren't a whole lot) I have confidence in everyone except Jolly, Ford, and Mahoney.

[The Federalist Engineer]

He's better than Jolly. I can't remember the last time Jolly got an out.

We haven't been patient enough after the wild pitch and a pair of walks, the next guy was prolly an out

[CadaverDawg]

Poole takes a fastball down the middle then swings at a slider in the dirt and a foot outside. Facepalm

[MaroonFlounder]

Out of all the starting pitchers in the SEC, Keegan Thompson is one of top control pitchers. Nearly 80% of his pitches tonight were strikes.

I'm thinking he got flustered and decided to plunk a few and go out with a vengeance.

With limited arms, does it make sense to now bring Riley in for the 9th with the bottom 3 of the lineup for Auburn coming up? Are we not blowing another arm when its not needed?

[The Federalist Engineer]

We just 4 hit a pretty good team- great job pitchers

[WSOPdawg]

Luke makes the pivot to turn two to end the game. Dogs win 5-2!!!

Game 2 tomorrow at 2.

[msstate7]

We just keep winning games. Way to go, dawgs

[CadaverDawg]

Big win!!!

Now we wait on a Stovall update

[WSOPdawg]

We just 4 hit a pretty good team- great job pitchers

And now have a 2-game lead in the West over Auburn and Arky. And still lead KY by a game overall.

It get more stressful with every win.

If you don't pitch him tonight you can only use him once tomorrow. Would look like a complete baffoon if Auburn had come back to tie it and we don't use our best arms to win the game. I don't mind the decision.

Now let's win the first game tomorrow and win the series. They won't pitch Mize until game two tomorrow possibly:

[The Federalist Engineer]

Dang, nearly snagged a foul ball just now in Busch Stadium

[maroonmania]

Team just keeps on keeping on. Got to love what they are doing. I will be pleasantly shocked if Stovall isn't lost for quite a while if not for the rest of the season.

Wonder if the Arms are beginning to fall off in Fayetteville?

This. I think using one of Self and Price was ideal. You still get Self tomorrow for a game and have Price ready for either

[Bothrops]

Great job by our pitching staff tonight. Mad props.

Special thanks to our Ace for leaving just 2 innings to cover

[Dawgface]

Great win!
