Auburn @ Ole Miss baseball

Hey everyone. Auburn is going for the SEC Western Division title tonight in Oxford, Miss.

I am not there. You probably aren't. Thanks to the wonders of modern technology, though, we can pretend we are.

(Click on the little movie camera next to Friday's game for live stats.)

I'll be here after 8 p.m. CDT ... approximately.

Feel free to post along as the game progresses.

Fearless Freep said...: Is it too much to dream that AU football could improve as much in year 2 under Chiz as AU baseball has in year 2 under Paws?; 8:14 PM
Miller said...: Nelson lost his composure; 8:17 PM
wtc said...: AU women lose 1-0.; 8:19 PM
wtc said...: Need a pitching change now. This is his last batter.; 8:19 PM
wtc said...: Yank him; 8:19 PM
wtc said...: The wheels came off of Cole.

Struck out 5 in a row and then couldn't get anyone out. double, double, walk, single, single, walk.
3 runs later and bases loaded ends his night.
Reliever coming with bases loaded and one out. bottom 4th
Au 10-3; 8:24 PM
wtc said...: Slade Smith coming in to pitch.; 8:24 PM
wtc said...: Sac fly one run scores.; 8:27 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: UGA also uses LiveStats...not that any of you were paying attention to AU baseball during spring practice (besides Miller and Wells).; 8:27 PM
wtc said...: ground out to end the inning
10-4 AU.; 8:28 PM
wtc said...: You want me to stop?; 8:29 PM
wtc said...: HR for fletcher
11-4; 8:32 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Cool with me, wtc....I'm busy right bow, so reading your play by play every other inning is great.; 8:33 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Is that Ole Miss's biggest inning this year? 4 runs is a lot for them at once.; 8:34 PM
Unknown said...: Appreciate it, wtc, although I am getting nervous. What is worse than losing? Being ahead by 10 runs and losing. Hopefully we grab some insurance runs soon.; 8:34 PM
wtc said...: They have not had more than 5 this year.; 8:35 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: That's what I thought. Sorry that Cole had to give them one of their best innings. He is definitely Joba. Keep him in the pen the rest of the year. He'll dominate there.; 8:38 PM
wtc said...: Bases loaded for AU 2 outs.; 8:39 PM
wtc said...: Hargett walks.
12-4 AU; 8:42 PM
wellsAU said...: Appreciate the shout out, PF. Nelson's stuff earlier was money. Hopefully the 4th inning blues from tonight don't carry into the SEC tourney and the post-season.; 8:44 PM
wtc said...: WIld pitch
13-4; 8:47 PM
wtc said...: another walk. loaded for Mummey. 2 outs; 8:48 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: Lovin'listening to this great baseball game!!; 8:49 PM
wtc said...: fly out to end the inning.
Au left them loaded in the 4th and the 5th; 8:50 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Nelson has awesome stuf, better than most. He's just not taking it into high pitch counts lately.; 8:52 PM
wellsAU said...: That complete game shut out against UT last weekend was as clutch of a performance as I've seen in a while. That team was HOT coming into our series with them, huge shutdown to set up Grant on Sunday.; 8:55 PM
wtc said...: nothing happening in the bottom of 5th.
13-4 AU headed to top of 6th.; 8:56 PM
wtc said...: I think Nelson got to @ 80 pitches tonight. For some reason, he started throwing curve balls and they hit it and then he couldn't get his fast ball over. Then he went mental and just couldn't find the plate and when he did, the hit him.; 8:58 PM
wellsAU said...: For those still watching the espen, GT is rocking Jacksonville St. Apparently they've hit 114 DONGS all year. That's a lot of dong for a women's softball team.; 8:58 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: nice. should i go ahead and starting printing the 2010 SEC WESTERN DIVISION CHAMPIONS shirts? ;)

i keed, i keed. i'll wait until the 8th inning.; 8:58 PM
wtc said...: fletcher with a single, morris with a single. Patterson at bat.; 9:00 PM
wellsAU said...: This is a great college baseball website that my corndog friend turned me on to.

Its got all the day's action listed by top 30 and by conference. A lot of the time they'll accompany the match ups with links to similar live technology like this shin diggy tonight.; 9:04 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: WooHooo 16-4!!!!!!!!; 9:05 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: He only threw 93 pitches, and never really got into trouble in that game....I don't know what to say about him. He's good. Really good, But take out the exception of last week, and you'd say he's been up and down. I say make him Austin's setup guy or bring him in to bail out whichever starter falls apart (it's happened at least once a weekend all year). He can dominate out of the pen. It's his destiny.; 9:05 PM
wtc said...: Patteson goes yard; 9:05 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: 4 DONGS already on the nite for AU.; 9:05 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: McElroy up with nobody out!; 9:06 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: nope, guess that makes 5. :); 9:06 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: the JOX audio is behind the HABOTN updates. AUsome! ha; 9:06 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: 17-4!!! Heading to the exits; 9:07 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Thanks for the pitch count, wtc....solidifies my opinion. That's more than he can comfortably throw on a per inning average.; 9:07 PM
wellsAU said...: PF- I'd agree with you in saying he's been missing his consistency. He had a couple of games earlier this year that looked solid, then the next week he'd struggle to keep his stuff going for longer than 3/4 innings.; 9:08 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: let's put 3 TD's on the board. come on 21!!!!!!; 9:08 PM
David in Opelika said...: Putting an exclamation point on winning the West.; 9:09 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Morris isn't going to get the pitches to break the AU single season HR Record is he?; 9:09 PM
Jet said...: I haven't seen this many dongs since I stumbled on the Red Elephant Club meeting at the Grant Hotel in 2003.

It was my one face to face meeting with Shula. He had loser written all over him.

There was a crowd of the people on the sidewalk leading into the building. He walked like a scared sophomore in the hallways of the high school, twisting and drooping his shoulders to avoid contact.

A real coach would have parted the crowd like Moses.; 9:09 PM
Miller said...: I'd say that Auburn can hit... just a little bit...; 9:10 PM
wellsAU said...: Kevin Ives' most recent tweet has me unable to stop laughing.

"AUPPL

I'm nicknaming Kevin Patterson "The Kraken". He's a monster and absolutely "kracks" RELEASE THE KRAKEN"; 9:10 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: i about fell out of my chair.

Jet admits he went to a red elephant club meeting.

wtf?????; 9:13 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: i'm SMEZMERIZED!!!!!!; 9:13 PM
Norm said...: "A real coach..." Nice. I like it.; 9:14 PM
wellsAU said...: RELEASE THE KRAKEN; 9:15 PM
Miller said...: Jet, I am truly disappointed... I never thought I'd hear such disturbing news, not from you... SteveFC maybe... but not you.; 9:15 PM
wtc said...: If everything holds up, folks are saying we play LSU Wednesday at 9:30; 9:16 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: in fairness Miller, he did say he 'stumbled' upon it. still....

:); 9:17 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: 18-4!!!!; 9:18 PM
Miller said...: Everyone at a REC meeting "stumbles" in...; 9:18 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: More amazing thing about all of these ding dongs this year: Paws is a small ball coach that has put extra emphasis on moving the runners this year because AU had so any issues winning games despite the highest HR tally in schol history. To be fair, the batting averages are up as result, but I just didn't expect to see the power numbers up too.; 9:19 PM
Jet said...: I was at a conference at the Grand, and I was walking out of a reception, and someone said the "Red Elephants" are here, too. I was talking with some folks and Shula stepped out of a car, and looked like the most lost guy in the world.; 9:20 PM
Unknown said...: Is there a mercy rule in college baseball?; 9:20 PM
wtc said...: i think if AU holds on, this sets an SEC record for wins for AU.; 9:20 PM
Miller said...: Nova... no lie... I just tweeted that very same thing.... in jest of course, because unfortunately for Ole Miss, there is no such thing...; 9:22 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Show No Mercy! Beat the crap out of them to the point where they are demoralized and tomorrow is esy on Grant (has tomorrow's pitcher been announced? I'm assuming it will be Grant, but haven't heard).; 9:23 PM
Unknown said...: I was jesting as well, but this is getting ugly. I love it.; 9:23 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: Wow,have they given up?! We still have 3 1/2 innings to go.; 9:23 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: Trent Mummey is the man; 9:23 PM
Miller said...: IF AU sweeps Ole Miss... we're guaranteed to host a regional...

IF AU sweeps Ole Miss and goes deep int he SEC tourney... we could very well end up a national seed...

This team can hit folks...; 9:23 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: The only down side tonight is that the infidels have won. Also FL won the regular season.; 9:24 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: my sensei once said....

STRIKE HARD
STRIKE FAST
NO MERCY SIR!!!!!; 9:25 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: WTC, you're slacking. I'm going to be forced to get in front of a computer for play by play, aren't I?; 9:25 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: I can't believe GA is killing Kentuck.; 9:26 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: here's the play by play....
ding dong
ding dong
ding dong; 9:27 PM
Jet said...: 2 on, 2 out for the Akbars.; 9:27 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: National seed? Shut yo mouf!; 9:28 PM
Miller said...: 2 outs, bottom of the 6th, PF...; 9:28 PM
wtc said...: Sorry PF:

18-4 AU
2 out bottom of 6th 2 men on.; 9:28 PM
Miller said...: Swing anduh miss... K ends the inning...; 9:28 PM
wtc said...: wife had me in a discussion.
You guys buy a lot of cards on Mother's day.; 9:29 PM
Jet said...: Akbars gone with K ... after 6, Good Guys 18, GiggityBaseballers 4.; 9:29 PM
wtc said...: Slade gets a k to end the inning.; 9:29 PM
Miller said...: Now there's a Harley commercial on...

Is that too much or too little info, PF?; 9:29 PM
Miller said...: Calendar in to pitch for OM 6'3" 212 JR... making 21st appearance...

and they are talking too fast on the radio for me to transcribe it all...; 9:30 PM
wtc said...: She is a Hallmark rep that calls on Walmarts. Her stores did $1.2 million in Mother's day cards. At @ $3.75 a card, that is a boat load of cards.; 9:30 PM
wellsAU said...: Ole Miss' threat is nothing but a tease. K to end the inning.; 9:30 PM
Miller said...: Hunter leads off...; 9:31 PM
Jet said...: WTC ... is she on a boat load of cards?; 9:32 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I said UGa would eventually be good. I didn't think it would take them 9 SEC series to get there.
In retrospect, they lost too much (including a Freshman in a tragic scooter accident). Lots of draft picks from 2009.; 9:32 PM
Miller said...: Morris singles past the 3B down the line...; 9:32 PM
Norm said...: I avoid WalMart like the plague so Mrs. WTC saw none of my money from there.; 9:32 PM

Miller said...: c-mac takes ball 1; 9:34 PM
wtc said...: Jet-no. I have to go buy my cards I give her. We get a boat load of paper plates though. Still eating off Knight Rider plates when home alone.; 9:34 PM
Miller said...: 1-1
Popped up in foul ground to LF...; 9:34 PM
Miller said...: UGA up 20-0 over UK.... wowzers!; 9:35 PM
Miller said...: 1-0 count to Jenks...
1-0 pitch misses high, 2-0; 9:35 PM
wtc said...: Norm: running the 8k for the Jubilee Cityfest in the AM. Starts at 7:30am.; 9:36 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Miller, you're WAY behind AUPPL's twitter feed.; 9:36 PM
Miller said...: Jenks gives it a ride, but it dies at the warning track into a piece of leather...

STRETCH time!; 9:36 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: ....but WAY more detailed, so I can live with it.; 9:37 PM
Miller said...: How so PF?; 9:38 PM
Miller said...: Ferguson leads off vs. Slade... pitch #37 for Slade is high... 1-0 pitch swinganduhmiss....

1-1 pitch, fouled off... 1-2; 9:39 PM
Norm said...: wtc, I'll head out for 7 or so in the morning.; 9:39 PM

Miller said...: 52 Tigers have come to the plate thus far tonight...; 9:43 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Nevermind, Miller. Lots of hitting around. Same guys hitting in the 6th and 7th confusedme until I realized how mean we're bing to the UM guys.; 9:43 PM
