Did Cann announce who it would be today? Is it self or is he injured?
Self is hurt. They don't think it's serious but personally I'm worried. I'm not sure who starts tomorrow- my guess would be Jacob Barton but it could be anyone other than Pilkington, Plumlee, Billingsley, or anyone that is hurt.
I just went through the lineup to figure out who hasn't pitched major innings this weekend and is healthy and the only guys i got are Mahoney and Rigby (and he still might be hurt). Tomorrow is going to be a Johnny wholestaff and a BETTER win because Arkansas Pine-Bluff is one of those RPI killers that you obviously can't lose to and also sent our 2015 season down the shitter.
Pine Bluff smoked an SEC team over the weekend...Bama maybe?
I wasn't able to watch the Monday morning game...who all pitched? Did Billingsley pitch? If not, wouldn't he be the likely starter tomorrow?
Why didn't we just cancel either Monday's game or the Pine Bluff game? The last thing we need is a tired pitching staff headed in to opening weekend of SEC play.
Cyr appears to be this years Vance Tatum. If he gets another chance it needs to be against someone like Arkansas Pine Bluff. I think the best thing to do with Ford is to let him go off and pitch this summer somewhere- of course I say that not having gone to practice to see how he looks. I might ask Ford and Mahoney to do an inning or so- but that would be about it.
Arkansas Pine Bluff did split a doubleheader with Alabama.
Billingsley pitched on Monday and struggled which was disappointing.
No idea why we didn't cancel one of the games. I'm much more worried about losing to a bad SWAC team and sinking our RPI and any postseason hopes more than having guys rested for Arkansas.
Hell Rooker brought the heat last yr, let him throw some seeing as were in bad shape with pitchers... Id let Self rest up for this wknd so we know he is healthy.
Actually, I don't remember Rooker ever stepping on the mound in his entire career at MSU.
Just freakin' ridiculous to play a 4 game weekend plus a midweek heading into the week of SEC play. The first 2 weekends being 4 games I'm fine with but the weekend before SEC play we should already be transitioning into the 3 game sets and quit taxing our staff to the max. Of course it was made worse by the "weekend" ending on Monday but stupid either way. I assume for this year's scheduling its strictly on Cohen.
Practice or game? Game all day long, pitchers need to be put to a test early.
School is out and they need to be concentrating 100% on baseball, the pitchers who haven't performed well and the ones who haven't pitched much need to be put in pressure situation.
Damn it's baseball, "there is no crying in baseball"!
Young team learning how to win.
Go cyr then piece it together from there. After his stellar 4 pitch performance this wkd I don't want to run him out there but there isn't much choice. Unless we start Mangum and put him as DH.
Mangum is starting
