I see what you did there. I like it!
Bristo on the mound right?
LA Tech’s game vs. @HailStateBB is scheduled to start at 6:30, but this is the scene at Dudy Noble. Stay tuned.

Is Clancy even with the team. No mention of him at all. All hands on deck, even if you have to pitch through some soreness.
Roster had to be trimmed to 27 for the regional. Not sure if he is one who made the cut, but I saw a couple not on the list. One of them a senior. That had to be tough for Goff to make that call.Quote:

OK Davis - Psychologically, is there now more pressure on Mississippi State than Louisiana Tech?nothing to lose for Ruston 'Dogs.
Looking at the radar, it appears a big line coming up now. If it continues northward and doesn't go too far to the east, we can get a little rest anyway. At worst, I think it would be delayed an hour, though. Possibility of no delay....Quote:

@HailState: We are currently in a weather delay at DNF. We will keep you updated as info becomes available. #NCAAStarkville
I totally agree, but I think we've been playing with house money since we beat Rice in the 2nd game at Hattiesburg.Quote:

Isabella: Looks like the earliest we'll get started here is 7:45 p.m.
Wouldn't break my heart at all to have to wait for tomorrow!
Malcolm Butler: Game time for @LATechBSB now pushed back to 8:04 pm due to weather. Rain coming down again. Stay tuned.
Exactly!Quote:

Interesting. Not 8:00 PM CST, or 8:05 PM CT. No....rather it's scheduled for 8:04 PM CST. :icon_roll:Quote:

Omaha or bust!!!
My best guess: players can't go on field until 30 minutes after last strike. Then 45 minutes to warm up
WEATHER UPDATE | It's still raining in Starkville....
Earliest we could start now would be 8:30 p.m. CT
Wow. What's the latest they'll start one of these games?Quote:

So.....is this a one (1) game championship? Or if LA Tech wins, do we have to come back and beat Miss St again tomorrow???
We have to beat them twice
Should I delete this for you?:icon_razz:Quote:

Nope. Assuming we win tonight, I didn't know if we had to play them a second time after tonight if both teams have one loss and we would have the head to head advantage.Quote:

It was on mine. Watching it now.Quote:

What would be better for us if we win our regional? Playing Miss State at their house or playing you guys in Lafayette?Quote:

Defensive change for LA Tech: Michael Deceglie is going to catch this one. Diaz looked to have tweaked something in pregame warmups.
4-0 against lafayette sounds good to meQuote:

End 1: Braden Bristo pitches a 1-2-3 first inning and we're scoreless through an inning of play!
2 K's
T2: Cody Daigle lines a single up the middle for the first hit of the game! Deceglie now batting w/ no outs.
Let's GO BULLDOGS!
What is Diaz' injury?
T2: Deceglie's sac bunt moves Daigle to second base. Jordan Washam batting with 1 out and a runner in scoring position.
T2: Jordan Washam goes down swinging for the second out. Chandler Hall batting with two outs. Daigle on second base.
Mid 2: Daigle is left stranded on second after a lead-off single. Hall flew out to CF to retire the side. We're scoreless.
At the game. Diaz got hurt literally at the last play of warm-ups. Ran into the wall behind home plate chasing a ball.
Gotta work on not dragging the bat through the zone.
Do they have anyone that is hitting <.300?
ESPN crew has no clue what's going on. Isabella tweeted about it liveQuote:

B2: Mississippi State has runners on 1st/2nd after a base hit and walk. One out.
Wow, that Jacob Robson is ridiculously fast!
2nd Innings
Isabella - Bristo almost throws one into CF on a pickoff attempt. Hits MSU runner in the leg and stays in the infield
B2: A hit by pitch loads the bases with 1 out for Mississippi State. 8-hole hitter Ryan Gridley at the plate.
Isabella- Graham Ahlrich sprints out to the bullpen. Remember Greg Goff has a quick trigger. Doesn't wait long before making moves
Isabella: Bristo produces a ground ball right back to the plate for what should have been inning-ending DP. Instead, ball goes to RF for 1-0 MSU lead
Isabella; Charge the throwing error to catch Michael Deceglie. The ball hit Ryan Gridley in the helmet and bounced to the outfield
Baseball- almost a double-play, but the ball knicks the runner's helmet and MSU scores.
:((
Runner was inside the baseline
We just got screwed
Isabella: Raphael Gladu makes a sliding catch in the gap to prevent any more damage.
End 2: Mississippi State 1, Louisiana Tech 0
Are you going to requote every Isabella tweet for the next 3 hours?
Sure wish we had replay in the tournament- got screwed on that no-call.
We are on ESPNU on and off and that play was televised..we got hosed for sure!
When latechbsb doesn't 😄Quote:

My posts are usually @latechbsb tweets, but I use Sean's when neededQuote:

Just can't beat the SEC AND the umps...They ought to lose their ump licence over that!!!
Championship F***ing game and you miss that ?!?!
And all of the sudden those low pitches are strikes in the bottom of the inning. Hmmmmm.
We got sec- ed on that call. No Ump is that stupid
Yep, we were screwed before the game ever started.Quote:

Well, we sure aren't showing it. Other than the fact that we can't hit, and we can't pitch, everything's going just great. ;)Quote:

3-0, pitching change
