Top Dog TBD - Game 2 Thread

Here comes a bunt

 

[thekimmer]

dont need to bunt now

 

[thekimmer]

Why can’t our catchers catch

 

[Msuirondawgs]

Dare I state the obvious?? Another F'ing pass ball for another unearned run SMH

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

Can we call up a catcher from one of the Mississippi JUCOs?

 

[Villagedawg]

Never expected to lose this series.

Over…Rated! Top 15 maybe.

 

[Slow Natives]

Single. Stolen Base. Passed ball. Fly out. Score.
This song and dance is on repeat.

 

[17itdawg]

Well... this hasn't been a fun series.

 

[dog99walker]

Well, Sport, our catchers officially suck donkey d*cks.

 

[Duggar Hall Desk]

Never expected to lose this series.

Just as I'm about to reply, "Don't give up yet," they get another run for a 3-1 lead.

We are short one of our starting pitchers.
Run support is fickel.

 

[Baddog11]

bottom of the 9th down by 2. Rally time

Sounds like a baseball team.

 

[Duggar Hall Desk]

Here we go, bottom of the 9th, we need 2 (preferably 3).

Pretty much where I had us relegated to following a very disappointing UCLA loss. And I'll hold with my original preseason prediction of a Regional host plus anything else as gravy. It's early in year one. Coach O will recruit some high level talent at all positions in the coming years. This journey has only begun.

Yep. 15-17 wins in conference. Maybe host. That's this team.

 

[Duggar Hall Desk]

17

5 hits, 8 walks, 1 17n run.
13 LOB.

 

[dog99walker]

Our big boys haven’t risen to the challenge tonight.

Maybe so. But I’m mad as 17 right now.

 

[Villagedawg]

Best lineup in the country!!

[OrangeThrower]

Well I called it yesterday, go look. Like I said no clutch hitting when it counts. “But our hitting is so good” we play a big boy at home and can’t get it done. But our catcher….

 

[Duggar Hall Desk]

All we can do now is pick ourselves up and try like hell to avoid a sweep.

 

[OrangeThrower]

Looks like you don’t know ball

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Looks like you don’t know ball

I hear your mother calling you. Go away.

 

[OrangeThrower]

Where is buckaroo? “It’s just the third inning” hah what a joke.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

Georgia gave MSU 8 walks & 2 HBP - scoring only one run is ridiculous

We probably wasted the best starting pitching performance that we will get the entire season

 

[skydawg1]

14348 what a crowd!!

 

[DocHolliday.sixpack]

Georgia is better at this point. Bottom line.

Yeah, tomorrow morning's game is hugely important to post season aspirations. But having seen UCLA and UGA up close and personal, it really feels like those 2 teams are the most complete teams in NCAA baseball and could very easily be your 2026 CWS finals. Once we get McPherson back, we will push ourselves back up a few notches and maybe creep toward a Super or CWS slot. Gotta get this catcher thing solved.... a lot of that has to do with so many new pitchers with whom the catchers don't know well and vice versa. Kind of a jelling thangy. In the off season, I can see Coach O going after one or two ELITE catchers who do everything well.

 

[peewee.sixpack]

Why can’t our catchers catch

Cause they are G5 talent playing with the big boys.

If a mod happens to pop into this thread, I'd ask you to consider relieving @OrangeThrower of his position in the community.

Less than 40 posts since he suddenly became active after 6 years during the USM game and basically every post has been something negative and usually needlessly antagonistic.

I know Needless Antagonist could be my middle name, but I'm occasionally funny at least.

Anyway, just a thought.

 

[CEO2044]

If everybody mutes it, it eventually will go away.

 

[skydawg1]

All the mods are on that other group game chat....starts with a D.. can't recall.

 

[Duggar Hall Desk]

Not ready to throw the season into the trash. Lots of baseball to go.

Everybody's not going to do that, and I dislike trolls intensely. They have a ***** kind of sociopathy that needs to be stepped on rather than ignored.

I'll SECOND THIS!

 

[The Cooterpoot]

We lost to a top 5 team & some folks lose their crap. Guess what, they're better than us but both games were 1 run games and the umps sucked. We still got too much Limp dick Lemonis in this team and it's up to the new staff to get it fixed. Too many mental midgets when things aren't easy.

Same as where I had us at that time as well. Agree with the rest too.
