SEC Tournament Game 1 Thread - UGA

[57stratdawg]

Lead off sing for Mangum

 

[maroonmania]

Tanner Poole strikes out with men in scoring position.

This is not a reprint.

Why the 17 is he in the lineup at this point? I've got more faith in Alexander to at least make contact.

Poole hasn't even fouled a ball off since about mid-April.

Just shows the issues we have with this team. You can either play Poole who is a strikeout machine or play Alexander who has an even lower SEC average than Poole and move Brown back to the outfield. Neither is a good option but I agree that Alexander at least normally LOOKS better swinging at SEC pitching than does Poole.

2 on, 2 outs for MacNamee

 

[57stratdawg]

MacNamee HBP to load them. Lovelady up. 2 down.

 

[57stratdawg]

Grounder ends it. 3-0 MSU after 5.

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

The bottom 2 of our order might as well bunt every at bat....

 

[Original48]

Or Cody in left Bragg at third and sit em both. Not real complicated.

 

[57stratdawg]

** Top 6: Pilkington is cruising. Another 1-2-3 inning.

He pitched well against them in Athens too.

 

[57stratdawg]

2 quickouts until a Rooker single. Heck of a day so far.

3-4

 

[57stratdawg]

Mangum walks. 2 on, 2 down for DownTown Cody Brown.

 

[57stratdawg]

Tough luck. Shot back up the middle, but pitcher snags it.

3-0 After 6.

 

[57stratdawg]

** 7th Innings: Goodlord, Stovall with another tough catch. Twice that's happen where OFs haven't called off Stovall on tough over the shoulder catches.

 

[57stratdawg]

K. Then ground out. 14 in a row retired by Pilkington.

3-0 Mid7.

 

[Original48]

So now Poole's defense is an issue...great.

 

[57stratdawg]

Stovall grounds out. Vansau walks.

1 on, 1 down.

 

[57stratdawg]

Fly out. Vansau caught stealing. 3-0 After 7

 

[57stratdawg]

** 8th Inning: fly out, then single. UGA's 3rd hit of the day. First since the 2nd inning.

Was 15 consecutive retired.

 

[57stratdawg]

Double Play. 3-0 Mid8. Pilkington around 100 pitches. I'm guessing this is his baby unless the tying run comes to the plate.

 

[57stratdawg]

Lovelady strokes one but UGA 3rd baseman with a webgem. Dives toward the line, rifles the Speedy Lovelady.

1 down.

 

[57stratdawg]

Dammit. Poole with a double, beats the throw, but overslkdes the bag.

On replay, I'm not sure their SS had the ball.

 

[57stratdawg]

Gridley singles. Rooker up. UGA changing pitchers.

 

[Original48]

So now Poole's base running is an issue...great.

 

[57stratdawg]

Rooker with a grounder to 3rd, but the throw gets away. Gotta give an E on that.

2 on, 2 outs for Mangum.

 

[57stratdawg]

Damn. Mangum rips a ball at the same 3rd baseman and he snags it.

Rooker might have scored on that one, because it was scorched.

 

[57stratdawg]

** 9th Inning: Back to back singles start the 9th. Pilkington done. Here comes Riley Self.

Interesting Self is getting these calls and not Price lately.

 

[maroonmania]

Dammit. Poole with a double, beats the throw, but overslkdes the bag.

On replay, I'm not sure their SS had the ball.

Wouldn't be an MSU game without us committing a baserunning blunder somewhere in the game.

 

[thekimmer]

We are still having trouble hitting with RISP....

Rooker with a grounder to 3rd, but the throw gets away. Gotta give an E on that.

2 on, 2 outs for Mangum.

Need to get more runs than that out of 11 hits.

 

[Hump4Hoops]

We've dominated offensively and defensively all day

But we're one swing away from a tie game. Frustrating. Out hit them 11 to 3 in the first 8 innings.

 

[57stratdawg]

Tailor Made! 4-6-3 double play. 2 down.

 

[57stratdawg]

Struck him out! Self only needs 7 pitches.

******* 3-0 Final********

Next up: Arkansas scheduled for 9:30am Thursday

I know neither are good, but with Alexander I have hopes he could at least lift a fly ball to score a runner from 3rd.

We are undefeated in games starting before 10:00 AM.
