Hey, Arky - I've got DirecTV - according to the guide and what's actually on, (DirecTV's SEC channel is on 611) - it's showing S. Carolina v. Florida - If it's on some alternate SEC channel, I don't see it - I am seeing it on WatchESPN - I wish it was on the SEC network but it's not 

[Marty Git]

Well, it's another Friday night, I'm old and don't have anything better to do than to watch Ark Baseball and tell you guys about it - life is good!!!

In the top of the 1st, w/ 2 outs, we've got the bases loaded w/ Shaddy up - unfortunately, Shaddy grounds to 3rd and is thrown out at 1st

[Marty Git]

Well.........this is fun (not) - w/ one out in the bottom of the 1st, Auburn is up 5 - 0 w/ a runner on 1st - Knight has been hit for a HR (2 runs), at least one double w/ 2 on, etc - it's not pretty

Auburn batter flies out so 2 outs w/ one on 1st

Single down the middle gets Auburn runners on 1 & 3

batter flies out so we're out of the 1st

HOWEVER, we're down 5 - 0 going to the 2nd

I probably won't be doing much of a play by play unless things get better for us

  Thanks for trying Marty. Evidently I'm too old and stupid to figure out how to pull the game up on my tablet. What with forgotten passwords and no daughter in the house to bail me out, I'll just check the score from time to time.. Probably for the best. Go Hogs!

OK - just for you, I'll try to keep up

I'm amazed after what happened in the first, Knight is still in - but, now, w/ 2 outs, he's walked 2 back to back - 2 outs, 2 on, NOONE in the Bullpen? -

BTW, ESPN has Aubbie ranked 12 and us ranked 14 - saw the title of the thread rankings somewhere, but I don't remember where (it is Friday night)

Knight - gave up as many runs in the first inning tonight as he has given up in the entire SEC schedule to date?

Batter grounds to 3rd

5 - 0 Auburn going to the 3rd

I say this with a caveat that I'm probably older than you........but.........go to the app store on your tablet - if you have Apple then you will see it on the front page of your tablet - if you have an Android tablet, I'm no help.........anyway, once you get to the App Store, search for ESPN - you should see some options that include subscribing to ESPN and will include WatchESPN.com - just sign up and you should be able to search what WatchESPN games is showing tonight and choose our game and then watch it - I hope that helps

[Marty Git]

We are truly an amazing 2 out team

In the top of the 3rd the score is now 5 - 2, 2 outs and we've got runners on 1 & 2 - the pitching coach for Auburn is getting nervous - out to talk to his guy

Well, hell, ground to first ends the inning

But, we're making progress!!!!!!!

[Marty Git]

This is not going to be fun tonight

We've switched pitchers - we're in the bottom of the 3rd - Benton (?) is our pitcher - a sidewinder

Auburn knocks the hell out of him, the rotation comes around -

Now Auburn is up 10 - 2, 1 out in the bottom of the 3rd

I would say that I'm gonna start drinking but that started a long time ago

[Marty Git]

Auburn is really good !!!!!

[panhandlepig]

   Oh don't do it for me. I can check the score other places. I won't be doing that again. Not looking good.

[Marty Git]

This is kinda embarrassing - we're in the bottom of the 4th, going to the 5th and we're down 13 - 2 - that sounds like a score that we've been putting on our opposition - but it's being done to us tonight - I hope we can come back tomorrow but tonight isn't gonna happen

[Marty Git]

If we thought we are great hitters:

w/ one out Auburn hits a back to back double and HR - now it's 15 - 2 in the bottom of the 5th

Is there a "Mercy Rule" in college baseball??

I'm thinking I need to go watch something else - I may keep suffering on for you guys - OTOH, maybe not

I'm thinking about trying to find a Cardinals game but I don't want to abandon those who are counting on me for this game thread 

[Marty Git]

Found a Cardinals game against Milwaukee - and, the Cardinals are winning - but in the 4th or 5th


We're still down 15 - 2 in the bottom of the 7th

I'm done

[Marty Git]

I guess the good news is that it's the top of the 9th and we're behind 15 - 2 (the good news is that this debacle is about over)

The bad news is that it's the top of the 9th and we're down 15 - 2

Better luck tomorrow (maybe we sandbagged them so that they're really complacent tomorrow - right!!!)

OTOH, the Cardinals are up 6 - 2 in the top of the 6th

Unfortunately, because of my age and the amount of wine I have consumed tonight (it is Friday, you know ) I will not be here for the end of this scintillating discussion - night guys!!

BTW - we lost the baseball game 15 - 2
