0-3 Game thread

[57stratdawg]

Mangum pitching.

1) Mangum
2) Gridley
3) Rooker
4) MacNamee

shuffling the lineup a bit.

 

[57stratdawg]

Top 1:

Mangum Ks.
Gridley Ks.

Rooker ropes a single. He's got to be flying up draft boards.

 

[57stratdawg]

Rooker picked off first to end the inning.

 

[57stratdawg]

Walk. Ark gets a runner to 3rd with 1 out, but he gets caught on a come-backer to Mangum.

0-0 after 1.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Mangum is like a cat on the mound.

 

[57stratdawg]

Back to back singles for MSU to start Top 2.

Bragg at the plate.

 

[57stratdawg]

Double play ends the inning.

 

[57stratdawg]

Easy inning from Mangum. Fly out, fly out, ground out.


0-0 after 2.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

Is Mangum just going to go through the lineup once as before?

 

[57stratdawg]

Top 3 goes. Single from Poole after a couple outs.

Poole runs on an 0-1 count, but Gridley chases a ball out of the zone. Need to let that one go by if your Gridley.

 

[57stratdawg]

Happened again. Gridley dinks one to 2nd.

Pretty clear the plan is to make Gridley go the other way, because he chased everything off the plate that AB.

 

[57stratdawg]

Leadoff single for Ark.

 

[57stratdawg]

Wheels falling off. 2-0 Ark. Pitching change brings in Bartlow.

 

[57stratdawg]

3-0 after a single. But we catch a runner advancing.

3-0 after 3.

 

[57stratdawg]

Rooker walks (gasps) to start the 4th.

 

[57stratdawg]

2 outs. Rooker on 2nd. Alexander up.

 

[57stratdawg]

Alexander Ks. Rooker left stranded.

 

[57stratdawg]

Riley Self in for MSU

 

[57stratdawg]

Infield single and a HBP. 2 on, 2 out.

 

[57stratdawg]

Single. 4-0.

Not suee why that ball got cut off on the infield. Looked like a close play coming.

 

[57stratdawg]

K leaves 2 stranded. 4-0 Pigs.

 

[57stratdawg]

Brag with a leadoff single tonstart the 5th.

 

[Lawdawg.sixpack]

I wondered the same thing. Looked on line and close to on time.

Did Cohen just call in that bunt after the leadoff single top 5, down 4-0?...

You're gonna have to be patient. Knowing no one in baseball has ever made that call will come with experience

 

[Joe Mayo]

We just sac bunted down 4 in the 5th inning. Just gonna throw that out there.

 

[57stratdawg]

Solo shot from Rooker. 1-0, 1 down in the T6.

Gridley was close to beating out an infield single the AB before.

 

[57stratdawg]

Nothing else for MSU. Ashcraft in to pitch for MSU.

 

[57stratdawg]

Small ball scores a run. 5-1 Ark.

 

[msstate7]

Small ball scores a run. 5-1 Ark.

Small ball up 3 in the 6th is usually a smarter idea than down 4 in the 5th

 

[57stratdawg]

Ashcraft gets out with no further damage. 5-1 after 6.

 

[57stratdawg]

7th inning a breeze for Ark.
