rebmus Posted yesterday at 03:27 AM Share Posted yesterday at 03:27 AM Rebs really needed this win to have a chance, Auburn is really good and capable of winning the next two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wcchaingang Posted yesterday at 03:33 AM Share Posted yesterday at 03:33 AM OM has what has been their best pitcher over the last month or so going tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldogs4 Posted yesterday at 03:33 AM Share Posted yesterday at 03:33 AM Huge win for Ole Miss!! Ole Miss has had a knack for winning close games this year. Auburn is good but they have lost 21 games this year so they are not invincible. I do agree that for the road team, winning game 1 is vital.

Dawg83 Posted yesterday at 03:34 AM Author Share Posted yesterday at 03:34 AM If it goes three games I think that probably favors Auburn…. But you certainly can’t hate OM’s chances of finishing it off tomorrow with Rabe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawg83 Posted yesterday at 06:33 PM Author Share Posted yesterday at 06:33 PM This has been one of the crazier postseason games I can ever remember. State’s bullpen is pretty much useless at this point in the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawg83 Posted yesterday at 06:54 PM Author Share Posted yesterday at 06:54 PM Georgia wins the track meet. State’s inability to develop pitching depth on this team is why their season is probably over by Monday. I really struggle to see a path to State winning both of these next two games. If you can’t hold a 7-0 lead with Valincius on the mound, or hold a two run lead with only six outs to get, how on earth can anyone expect the next two days to go better, barring some weird “that’s baseball” type shenanigans.

Bulldogs4 Posted yesterday at 06:56 PM Share Posted yesterday at 06:56 PM Sums it up. We are about one-two runs below Georgia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg83 Posted yesterday at 07:20 PM Author Share Posted yesterday at 07:20 PM It’s unfortunate that this is a Super matchup and not an Omaha matchup because Georgia is probably the best team left and State is probably one of the best 3-5 teams still playing, but such is life. Maybe if this team could’ve found any resemblance of a competent bullpen they’d be a Top 8 seed playing someone far more beatable at Dudy Noble and on their way back to Omaha. I don’t even fault any of the pitching decisions. All of those guys are varying degrees of not good. There is not a single person I can point to that I can say confidently “they would’ve done better”. They all stink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldogs4 Posted yesterday at 08:12 PM Share Posted yesterday at 08:12 PM And I am not sure if there is any pitching that can completely shut down Georgia. They score runs and then they score more runs. Yes our bullpen is mediocre but they shelled Valincius for seven runs in less than five innings.

Dawg83 Posted 22 hours ago Author Share Posted 22 hours ago Ole Miss is going to Omaha. Just have pitched extremely well when it counts. And timely enough hitting. Will play either USC or North Carolina in their first game. And frankly they’re on the side of the bracket where a deep run is very much on the table.

Bulldogs4 Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago Ole Miss in two. Not surprised. They are just playing good baseball. Finding ways to win close games. And Auburn while a good team, IMO, they were not quite as good as they were ranked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of that is OM pitching, but I definitely didn’t see a lineup with Auburn that was overly scary either. But I may be slanted by watching State and Georgia hit a zillion homers earlier today. lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg83 Posted 4 hours ago Author Share Posted 4 hours ago Game not over but feels like today will be the end of the line for State. Georgia can really hit and State’s pitching staff pretty much no showed the weekend…. Not a good combination. Georgia and Texas (presumably) matching up in Omaha is going to be really good TV.

Bulldogs4 Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago Georgia can really hit but our pitching with the walks/HBP’s has been horrible. Aoki is like college version of Maddox. Very tough with changing speeds etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg83 Posted 2 hours ago Author Share Posted 2 hours ago (edited) Man, objectively those were two entertaining as heck baseball games. State came all the way back and took the lead, but couldn’t close it out. Georgia wins in extras. State will lose a good bit going into next year but also should return some really good building blocks in its starting rotation, Jacob Parker, and few freshman bullpen arms. This team had a high ceiling and it sucks that they didn’t quite reach it on the pitching side and that kept them out of Omaha… but it’s good to see State baseball back in the mix in big postseason games after a few years of wandering aimlessly for the most part. All things considered, I view this season as a good starting point for the O’Connor era. Edited 2 hours ago by Dawg83 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldogs4 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Basically like I expected. Win the Regional and lose the SR. But I like where the program is headed. Future is bright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credit to UGA for pitching him really well in that AB. Parker is incredible though. Just an unbelievably talented hitter. Will be a household name in college baseball the rest of his time at State.

DrownInEtown Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Felt like we’ve seen Jacob Parker in that situation about 7 times this year. It was a fun season with a lot of tough losses. The jump from last year makes this program exciting again. Think this was a home-run hire with O’Conner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least 6 of the 9 guys that started all five postseason games for State will not be back. A lot of Lemonis holdovers in that group, it will be a different looking team come February, with some names like Parker, Valincius, and McPherson likely needing to be the centerpieces moving forward.

Don’t see how they could match the firepower of this years lineup. We’ll probably take a step back there. The big thing is landing another reliever or 2. Bauer’s development is a huge piece of next year too. He showed flashes near the end but was inconsistent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldogs4 Posted 43 minutes ago Share Posted 43 minutes ago I think the pitching will improve and while the firepower will be down a bit I think we will be a good offense team next year as the season moves along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
