This Bole kid....
is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! I hope they keep him in the whole game!
Nevermind....
I guess that second run walked in was too much. Hopefully this Graveman kid knows how to stink it up too!
I would say they are going have to pull people out of the stands to pitch, but I don’t guess that would work…

Miss David Goforth’s 7.00 ERA? “He knows the secret for success”
by astaylo1 on May 2, 2010 3:15 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
I think they were prob referring to his previous success vs State
he only gave up 2 runs in 5 innings when they played in Pearl earlier this year. Those #’s are just off the top of my head
Yeah State has completely failed at that Home crowd advantage
Im pretty sure that Ive heard more Ole Miss fans each game, especially game 1 when we could actually pull off the “throw it in the dirt” chant, yet state could not.
Callender in the pen
Oh Christ help us
And here's a lighthouse keeper being beheaded by a laser beam!
Shit
we need a freaking out before they score anymore.
This game is far from over...
State has nothing left pitching-wise, so we will score some more runs. Question is, who do we have left to pitch? Callender is not great, and can only go four or five innings anyway? I guess we are back to Tracy after that? Or Cooper? Yikes..
Yeah
Im flipping to my powerpoints during the breaks. Stupid finals.
The final score might be 20-16
or something like that.
Man ESPN 3 is way behind for me
I just now saw the out
That was total bullshit
Check swing my ass
And here's a lighthouse keeper being beheaded by a laser beam!
Not the best bunt
but states shitty defense sure helps
The submariner for the 3rd game in a row
so far with have gotten him pretty good in the first 2
Here's my hope
We get in exactly 5 innings. Their shitty ass pitching gives way more than the little bit we have left, then before our REALLY shitty pitching is implicated, a monsoon rolls in.
6-4, end of inning
Or try watching on ESPN3.com
just be prepared to be 5 minutes behind everyone in the live play.
miller lines out to the pitcher, then Yarbie 4-3 to end the inning
And here's a lighthouse keeper being beheaded by a laser beam!
how's everybody following the game?
we seem to have a few people behind…I’m listening to 93.7 and watching CSS muted

I had to mute it...

I'm not a big fan of admitting I'm wrong about someone
I hated Mort last year…and now that he’s started to be awesome this year, I’ve been slowly forced to re-evaluate my opinion.
And here's a lighthouse keeper being beheaded by a laser beam!
well done sir
a plus glove is more valuable at SS than a plus bat. you need plus gloves up the middle: C, SS, and CF
That's good baseball
thank goodness state hasn’t been doing stuff like that all weekend…knock on wood
Those crowd shots are depressing
we draw better for midweek games than they can for a game against their in-state rivals.
No wonder they’re bitter.
And here's a lighthouse keeper being beheaded by a laser beam!
It looks like Bianco wants
to stick with Goforth as long as possible, while hoping our guys continue to put up some big innings against their freshman pitchers. Can’t say I blame him for that. Hopefully he and Callender can combine to keep State under 15 runs.
Is Snyder's shoulder so F'ed
that he can’t play defense at all? Even if that’s the case, I’d really like to see Mathis in the outfield and Smith at first, instead of seeing Hamblin.
Any word on whether that shoulder will require offseason surgery?
everybody gets to throw an inning
next thing you know, Cohen will have infielders, then small children throwing

The number on the jersey represents which win it would be next.
next win is #33. I have no idea what the acronym means though.

84 runs in last 8.3 games
Six more runs in this one and we’ll average 10 runs per game during our win streak.
Can’t remember a time during SEC play where we’ve averaged double-digits runs over a run like this….

in 2006 we scored 121 in an 11 game stretched that included LSU and Tennessee. Either way our bats are hitting well now.

I've seen better little league games. WTF?
With 2 stikes we throw a strike with 2 balls we can’t find the plate.
Should have stayed with Goforth.
Finally get out of the inning...
6-7-8 due up
And here's a lighthouse keeper being beheaded by a laser beam!
1 hr, 48 minutes to complete 3 innings?
THAT bodes well…
/snark
And here's a lighthouse keeper being beheaded by a laser beam!
well hell look at the bright side
they’re making up for not having mid-week games by providing plenty of baseball on the weekend.
That's what I was thinking...
For the most part, we have pitched Connor Powers well this weekend. We just seem to put it on a tee for everyone else. In fact, that might be our best Sunday option. Just set a tee out at home plate, and let our defense do the work.
it might be amusing...
I’d love to see somebody strike out trying to hit a ball off a tee
And here's a lighthouse keeper being beheaded by a laser beam!
The comedy would be high...
And we would speed the game up a whole lot. I bet we would get out of innings a lot faster without our pitchers walking every other batter.
I bet Philips would strike out off a tee...
or hit into an inning-ending double play. Thanks, I’ll be here all week…
Let's get something cooking with two outs

watching the replay
we did beat the runner for the double
I want to believe
that we are just trying to make it interesting, then win it.
If we're just toying with them...
we’re doing a damn bad job of it.
Unless sometime in the next four innings we score 20 runs and 1-2-3 them each time
And here's a lighthouse keeper being beheaded by a laser beam!
man i hate being 5 minutes behind everyone
i see the comments before the play comes close.
Serious question..
Who do we have left available to pitch? Tracy I know. Rothlin- could he go a couple more today? Cooper?
Yeah but
he has pitched one inning on the past two nights. I don’t know that he could give us more than an inning today, if that. Cooper would obviously be a last resort, and they might as well bring me out to close the game if Coop is going to trot out there.
Barbeck?
Is he still even on the team? I saw him on the roster last night, has he even played this season?
And here's a lighthouse keeper being beheaded by a laser beam!
what the fuck is wrong
with this smiling jackass coaching first for State. He’s either fucking retarded, inbred, or both. Has anyone else watching noticed this dumbass?
no problem
now at least i can look forward to it.
LSU gets swept by the Gators...
SC beats Bama 20-15.
Auburn beats Arky 13-2.
Chance to tie Arkansas for the SEC West lead and banish LSU to third with a win today.
The AU series should be interesting..
They have been our polar opposite for most of the season: excellent hitting, struggling pitching. Interesting to see how that one plays out.
LSU might even finish fourth depending on how things play out. That would be unheard of.
easy, easy
let’s win this game first.
besides, we have Arky coming in next weekend. THAT should be a great series
I agree...
Just interested to see how the AU series plays out. Definitely not overlooking Arkansas. AU has sucked for a while now, so I am interested to see how the dynamic of their strengths vs. ours plays itself out in Oxford.
We all know the Arkansas series will be intense.
Anybody else thinks Hightower wants that 1st HR?
And here's a lighthouse keeper being beheaded by a laser beam!
well like someone said earlier,
just pick a fucking pitcher and go with him Cohen. Hell, they all suck.
Eh, that's good redemption, I think
6-4-3 DP
And here's a lighthouse keeper being beheaded by a laser beam!
You guys are right...
that first coach has to be mentally challenged.
See, I told yall.
That dude is fucking retarded or something. I’ve had problems with him all weekend
Mort and Conner Powers (the big boi)...
played together @ JuCo (Rio Hondo). I just put this together. I’m surprised the announcers haven’t mentioned it

Ok 7th inning here we go rebels
lets get some more runs
How does this work
if it rains? Do they get a chance to respond, or is it just called?
probably a rain delay
and if it goes to long the game is called
So now that's it's 5 complete, as long
as we ahead when it starts, they don’t have to match our at bats? I am always confused by the rule.
as long as you have played 5 complete it doesn't matter about matching at bats.
