SECT Mizzou Game Thread

[patdog]

Please let that be his last inning.

He's only thrown 78 pitches through 6 innings. No reason he shouldn't pitch the 7th.

 

[Xenomorph]

Dang... 3B got unlucky there.. Ball caught the lip and didn't bounce at all.

Hoover used to be a real tough place to hit a HR. Bat changes a little, ball changes a little, fences have come in much like they have at the Dude. I remember when the whole SEC tourney would yield only about 3-4 HRs at the Met. Only the big HR hitters were lucky to get one out. Yesterday, the first 8 teams hit 14 HRs........in one day! I have never seen HRs fly out of this ballpark like this.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

At this point I just want TV to get out of this game with nothing broken...

At this point, he needs to pitch as long as possible. Our only shot at being a Top 8 is a deep run to Sunday, so save the rest of the pitching staff today or maybe finish with Fowler/Rhodes.

Chone James proving @patdog 's point.

I just looked back at MSU 2013 stats. We hit THIRTY home runs with 16 of them by Hunter Renfroe and played in the finals of the CWS. The game has really changed.

Ace should’ve been rung up

VYTAS!!!!

Maybe get big brother to hit a 3 run homer in the bottom of the sixth & get outta here in 7 innings with a 10 run rule win

Vito raking his nuts off

 

[leeinator]

VYTAS......my man!! I asked him for a run rule game......and he delivered!! Now, just hold them and let's go to the house.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

What a bomb, again!!!!

 

[Msuirondawgs]

Ryno tomorrow or Stone??

 

[17itdawg]

Vito!

Agree.....his bat went around without a doubt. Surprised Mizzou didn't appeal.

Vito doing his best to energize the bats today, nice work young man

 

[Called3rdstrikedawg]

Nice!

 

[Msuirondawgs]

Ben on now?? Hmmmm

 

[anon1787432961]

Last time we had a player with two dingers in one frame in league play?

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

I don't like this move. Regardless., not now.

 

[Xenomorph]

 

[GoDawgz52]

Need to end it here. slam the door.

 

[NukeDogg]

Trying to get a quick inning and ensure the run rule ends it now I guess.

Hope Teel wasn't put into CF

 

[DoggieDaddy13]

Here we go, gualdammit, Walking.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

I don't like this move. Regardless., not now.

I am McReady on pitching Ben Davis here

 

[Msuirondawgs]

Hunter Hines

 

[Xenomorph]

So.. Davis can't land a breaking pitch...

 

[anon1787432961]

What was he doing practicing that 12 times in a row

 

[leeinator]

I officially proclaim today as the "Day of Valincius"

 

[Howiefeltersnstch]

Does he need to ??

 

[maroonmania]

Nice 10 run win. We definitely wanted to make sure we didn't lose that one. Pitched our best 2 pitcher in TV and Davis.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

We run ruled the SEC wannabes!! Have a good day!

 

[Badon]

Ryno tomorrow or Stone??

I’d like to see Ryno get some innings in against an elite lineup like Georgia to get ready for the regional.

 

[skydawg1]

RPI holding at 12.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

In a word...drama.

 

[patdog]

I suspect that’s the plan. If we pitched Tico vs Missouri just to pitch Billingsley or Sweeney vs Georgia I’m going to be a little pissed.

Still need him for balks, catcher interference, swinging strike calls, etc. Plus time-wise for every pitch with the ABS would slow the game down.

The hope is that umps across the board will get better because they can be challenged. This also helps everyone know the zone and it stays more consistent.

Balks can be called by any umpire in the infield.

Check swings should be able to be called by ABS as well, it always gets appealed to the appropriate foul line umpire anyway.

Catcher interference? Meh….line umps can likely judge that too.

I don’t think it would slow the game at all. You can have the ball / strike call broadcast in realtime over the PA, put on the scoreboard, signaled by another ump with an earpiece, etc. You already have at least 15 secs or so between every pitch with hitters stepping out / back-in, etc.

I never doubted this team.
