Vanderbilt-Mississippi State Sunday

[BelleVUe]

Strikeout with 3 base runners stranded

[4timenatlchamps]

He probably struck out twice, to be honest.

Incredibly disappointing half inning.

AUSTIN MARTIN LEADS OFF FOR VANDY IN THE BOTTOM OF THE FIRST BY GROUNDING OUT TO SS. STEPHEN SCOTT WITH ONE AWAY SINGLES TO RIGHT CENTER. JJ BLEDAY UP NEXT WHO HOMERED LAST NIGHT TO WIN THE GAME SINGLES TO CENTER MOVING SCOTT TO THIRD. CONNER KAISER WITH RUNNERS ON THE CORNERS STRIKES OUT TO MAKE IT TWO AWAY. PHILLIP CLARKE ON A FULL COUNT WALKS TO LOAD THE BASES. PAT DEMARCO IS UP BATTING .277 STRIKES OUT TO END THE THREAT. END OF FIRST NO SCORE.

Geez guys, even I can recognize a slider!

3 k's and he only averages that #

We leave them loaded - Billingsley throws 28 pitches. We are chasing tons of balls in the dirt.

Weird inning for umps - first base ump appears to cheat us out of a double down the line. Replay looks like it was off MSU glove. Umps proceed to give us check swings and real close strikes to "make up" for it. Bottom line, We swing at ball four with the bases loaded and come up empty.

Billingsley did throw a lot of pitches. If you are looking for a silver lining.

LEADING OFF THE TOP OF THE SECOND FOR MISS ST IS JUSTIN FOSCUE GROUNDS OUT FOR OUT ONE. LUKE ALEXANDER STRIKES OUT FOR THE SECOND OUT OF THE INNING. DUSTIN SKELTON WALKS ON 4 PITCHES. JORDAN WESTBURG WILL BE UP NEXT INNING AS SKELTON IS CAUGHT STEALING SECOND TO END THE TOP OF THE SECOND FOR MISS ST.

[BelleVUe]

When a team's #8 hitter gets a Caught stealing, forcing the #9 hitter to lead off the next inning, it is worth more than a negative half-run according to Fangraphs website.

This is the first time I have heard the Vanderbilt radio announcer. He's really good. I also noticed that the little ditty music used on this broadcast is the exact same as the New Mexico Lobo radio network. The same company must own the rights to both schools.

[roanoke]

Off-speed stuff is killing us. Missing sliders by a foot.

Our batting coach has to chat with these kids.

Edit: Martin did resist the slider twice - good for him. Maybe we will do better the second time through?

[BelleVUe]

Another rally killed

LEADING OFF FOR VANDY IN THE BOTTOM HALF OF THE SECOND IS HARRISON RAYGROUNDS OUT TO SS FOR THE FIRST OUT. ETHAN PAUL STRIKES OUT SWINGING FOR OUT 2. JULIAN INFANTE SINGLES TO LEFT. AUSTIN MARTIN WITH TWO OUTS AND A MAN AT FIRST ON A FULL COUNT FLIES OUT TO RIGHT CENTER TO END THE INNING. END OF SECOND.

[charlestonalum]

3 hits to 1 but still 0-0 after 2
We have left 4 on base: need to convert some runs.

[4timenatlchamps]

The #9 hitter got on anyway. Dig in, Mason.

[4timenatlchamps]

Ah crap.

[roanoke]

0-2 base hit for MSU. That really hurts. Now the top of their order is up.

[roanoke]

This is a very tense series. We seem to be playing from behind all the time.

[charlestonalum]

They take advantage of their scoring opportunity: we need to do that if we expect to win.

[4timenatlchamps]

I fear a crooked number this inning.
