Game 2 Thread...

[57stratdawg]

MSU took game 1. Small on the Mound.

 

[57stratdawg]

*** 1st Inning ***

Small looks good. 2 out single, but not much else

 

[57stratdawg]

Rollison on the mound. Mangum got good wood on it, but the LF gets to it.

 

[57stratdawg]

Luke Alexander swings at a ball that bounces to the plate. No chance against that slider.

2 down.

 

[57stratdawg]

Joe Moorhead interview coming up

 

[57stratdawg]

*** 2nd Inning ***

Small back out. Gets a lead off K on high cheese.

 

[57stratdawg]

Says KT has gotten good reps this Spring. Expects to see 65K at the Spring game.

Good of luck with that.

 

[57stratdawg]

Single from OM. 1 on, 1 out.

 

[57stratdawg]

“No one rises to low expectations. MSU’s only had 1 winning season in 15 years.. I was brought in to win championships and take us from good to great”

 

[57stratdawg]

Moorhead says he was a Pirates and Mets fan from the mid 1986. Also, he’s a huge Marino fan. Went to Marino’s high school.

Further cementing Marino’s place as the greatest QB of all time.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

40 pitches already damn

 

[57stratdawg]

Balk pushes runner to 2nd. Not sure what they called - guess he didn’t come set.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

Shock - the runner that was balked to 2nd with 2 outs, SCORES

 

[57stratdawg]

Single brings him in. 1-0 OM. Runner advances to 2nd

 

[57stratdawg]

“They’ve (DL) been a headache for our offensive line in practice. We’ve got a very fast, physical front”

 

[57stratdawg]

2-0. Another single.

 

[57stratdawg]

Runner steals 2nd. Skelton’s throw short hopped the bag. Had him otherwise.

 

[57stratdawg]

“If you had to classify us, I’d call us a multi-tempo spread team... We’re not afraid to throw the ball deep”

 

[57stratdawg]

Pop out on a hanging breaking ball ends the inning. Small’s pitch count is way up over 50 already.

2-0 OM mid 2.

 

[BulldogBlitz]

I'm so stoked that we spent millions building a great ballpark for 29 fans to watch a weekend game.

 

[57stratdawg]

Stovall lead off double. Almost to 3rd on a wild pitch. Great snag by OM catcher. They’ve had a couple great snags this year.

 

[57stratdawg]

Stovall moves to 3rd on a pick off attempt that ends up in CF.

Vansau pops out to SS. 1 down. Foscue needs to bring Stovall in

 

[57stratdawg]

Breaking ball gets away from C, but Stovall doesn’t try it. Probably for the better.

 

[57stratdawg]

Foscue walks. Sets up the double play though with Hatcher up. L on L.

 

[57stratdawg]

He hit him. Bases loaded. Gilbert up. 1 down.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

Are we the worst team in college baseball with a runner on 3rd & less than 2 outs?

 

[57stratdawg]

Gilbert Ks. Ugly AB. 2 down.

 

[skydawg1]

Gilbert Ks. Ugly AB. 2 down.

There's our Bulldogs.

 

[Muttley]

Yes.

 

[57stratdawg]

Skelton grounds out weakly. We leave them loaded. 2-0 after 2.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

The bottom of the 2nd was depressing to watch. It was like you knew the outcome & just had to watch the train-wreck play out. Maybe Rollison wont last long, he is potentially in pitch count trouble

 

[bulldogcountry1]

T2- Small balks on what would have been a K to end the inning. 2 runs end up scoring.

B2- Fail to get a runner home from 3rd base with no out and leave the bases loaded.

Looks like things are back to normal.

 

[57stratdawg]

*** 3rd Inning ***

lead off single, followed by a pop out. 1 on, 1 down

 

[bulldogcountry1]

Small leaving everything up. Not good.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

Small is struggling, comes back from an 0-2 count to give up a walk

 

[57stratdawg]

Runner steals 2nd. Skelton has a good ball to throw on, and missed the throw badly.

Walk. Runners on 1st and 2nd.

 

[57stratdawg]

FC back to Small. Runner at 2nd retired. Runners on the corners with 2 down.

 

[57stratdawg]

Walk loads them up. 2 down.

 

[57stratdawg]

K ends it. Big out by Small.

2-0 Mid 3.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

K to end the top of the 3rd. 2-0 bad guys. Small is over 70 pitches. We gotta start hitting
