Nunnallee not in todays lineup???

[Duckdog]

What's going on???

[MaroonFlounder]

ASU starter is LHP

[WSOPdawg]

What's going on???

Probably nothing more than loading the lineup with RH hitters vs Arizona St's high-quality LHP. It's good to have so much talent.

[Coach34]

Just as I thought before the season- we are doing alot of platooning

Frei/Wyers at 2B
VytaVal/Beans/Nunn in the OF
Stallman/Butthead at 1B
James/Raymond at C

[MetEdDawg]

Coach even said it. Our depth and ability to match up lefty righty with pitchers and pinch hit late in games to get those favorable match ups is critical for us.

[Coach34]

Great start for Mac- 3 up 3 down and 2 K's

[DawgFromOxford]

Chance on his horse for a nice catch in RF.

Mcpherson looking good after 1.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

What's going on???

Big, stout, good lefty on the mound. Sh*t gets real today.

[StarkVegasSteve]

This guy is going to be good for them. This could end up being low scoring.

After watching Ace struggle, I think it was probably a good idea to sit Nunnallee today.

[SailingDawg]

Who’s the radio announcer?

[Duckdog]

flosports sucks

[Coach34]

0-0 headed to the 3rd

[Saltydog]

This lefty is carving us up like a Christmas turkey.

[parabrave]

Early game. Good pitching no hitting.

[CaptainObvious]

Well that last k was the first swing and miss at an actual strike. If our guys are going to chase pitches out of the zone this weekend, it ain?t gonna go well.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Both pitchers are dealing

[maroonmania]

At this rate the game will be over by 12:30.

[DEDawg]

flosports sucks

I like it a lot I thought the stream would be trash. Besides no pitch count it looks way better than espn

[CaptainObvious]

Probably could have left the Left Handers in the lineup today. 😂😂

[parabrave]

Who?s the radio announcer?

You can get radio? Hell I'm on the Hailstate site. Can get the statcast but only crap music on the learfield radio app. Just had to go to WFCA website. Radio announcer sounds like a college kid.

[ZedFedder]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yxom6TmZ_9A stream for anyone who wants it

[HoopsDawg]

This guy is tough.

[StarkVegasSteve]

This guy is tough.

Almost like we've taken some steps up in competition.

[parabrave]

4.5 Innings in under an hour. Wow.

[parabrave]

Who’s the radio announcer?

I don't know who the play by play guy is but Jeff is the Color guy.

[parabrave]

Beavis with our 1st hit.

[parabrave]

Bevis and Woodson on now, Hopefully we chipping away at that pitcher. Teal just get Bevis to 3rd. Nope. At least he didn't hit into a DP.

[parabrave]

There we go boys. Good play Chance

[SaintDawg]

attaboy Beans!

[Coursesuper]

Lefty looks done, cramped up.

[parabrave]

Frei in for W BOOOOOOMMMMMMMM 1st hit 3 run HR, Nice Move By OAK.

[CaptainObvious]

Why is McPherson not light tossing in front of the dugout while this is going on.

[BeardoMSU]

Boom! Frei with the 3 run bomb!

[Coursesuper]

That plays.

[ZedFedder]

Frei killed that ball. First pitch he saw in the game

[SaintDawg]

whammy!

[ZedFedder]

Reese was a few feet away from going back to back

[Activated Alpha]

This ASU team is good. This tournament is giving me 21 vibes.

[BeardoMSU]

This UMP decided his eyes don't work anymore...

[parabrave]

Why is McPherson not light tossing in front of the dugout while this is going on.

Jeff just brought that up on the radio,

[parabrave]

OOh Chance earning his NIL.

[Coach34]

nice play to end their rally- 4-1 B6

[parabrave]

Bats warming up.

[Coach34]

Nunn in for VytaVal

[99jc]

the tv quality is great. and this team has the potential to make a run!

[Coach34]

Nunn walks 2 on with 0 outs

[Coach34]

James delivers. 6-1

[Thick]

Fun to watch great hitting with runners on the bags!

[parabrave]

Look at that we steal a base and then get him in. Haven't seen that in awhile.

[Coursesuper]

Expand this thing!

[Coursesuper]

Look at that we steal a base and then get him in. Haven't seen that in awhile.

Little things matter.

[HoopsDawg]

Beautiful baseball today.

[DawgFromOxford]

Its fun watching an offense execute rather than hoping you hit enough solo homeruns to stay in games

[Coach34]

bases loaded 2 outs- Ace in the box

[Coach34]

Its fun watching an offense execute rather than hoping you hit enough solo homeruns to stay in games

It's fun having more talent than most teams. No dead outs

[Coach34]

damn- bad cut with 2. 7-1 T7

[Coursesuper]

It's fun having more talent than most teams. No dead outs

Gotta work against this lineup.

[CaptainObvious]

Uh oh Reese in slump! 0-4!

[HoopsDawg]

I dont like McPherson pitching the 7th. Only questionable decision.

[maroonmania]

Uh oh Reese in slump! 0-4!

Have no idea why Ace swung at ball 4. That pitch was never near the strike zone at any point. Should have 8 runs still batting with bases loaded.

[Coursesuper]

I dont like McPherson pitching the 7th. Only questionable decision.

Up six and he started the inning in the 70's pitch count. What else do you want?

[Coach34]

nasty change to get out 2 with 2 on

[Coach34]

Up six and he started the inning in the 70's pitch count. What else do you want?

yeah got to start getting him closer to 95 pitches

[Coach34]

great job Stall- headed B7th 7-1

[Coursesuper]

yeah got to start getting him closer to 95 pitches

Exactly. This has been a very high quality outing from the guy.

[SaintDawg]

McP has pitched his ass off today

[HoopsDawg]

Up six and he started the inning in the 70's pitch count. What else do you want?

Its a long season. And back2back long offensive innings. We have a deep pen. Just no need. Its not a horrible decision, just questionable.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Its a long season. And back2back long offensive innings. We have a deep pen. Just no need. Its not a horrible decision, just questionable.

We're trying to save Davis and Stone for the remainder of the weekend. We tried to steal an inning and it worked out.

[bigbub50]

Ben Jarvis Green Davis getting warm in the pen. Hope we can save him.

[Thick]

Nunn really looked bad….took 2 strikes, and k on a pitch outside the zone

[StarkVegasSteve]

Ben Jarvis Green Davis getting warm in the pen. Hope we can save him.

Davis and Stone both sat down. Maddox Miller is up now.

[HoopsDawg]

We're trying to save Davis and Stone for the remainder of the weekend. We tried to steal an inning and it worked out.

There are about 10 other guys we could pitch.

[Coach34]

We're trying to save Davis and Stone for the remainder of the weekend. We tried to steal an inning and it worked out.

plus its warm weather too. Need to get him ready to go 95 pitches every Friday

[Coursesuper]

Its a long season. And back2back long offensive innings. We have a deep pen. Just no need. Its not a horrible decision, just questionable.

Wha?

[parabrave]

He is safe. Jeff said bad tag.

[HoopsDawg]

Also, when did Noah Sullivan start thinking he was Ricky Henderson.

[parabrave]

Davis and Stone both sat down. Maddox Webb is up now.

We will be having a new pitcher in the 8th. Jeff said that Mac was on a 70ish pc.

[Coach34]

Damn Woody swing the bat

7-1 T8

[Coach34]

Also, when did Noah Sullivan start thinking he was Ricky Henderson.

we are running alot more on 3-1 this year

[Coursesuper]

Damn Woody swing the bat

7-1 T8

He gave up on a 3-2 pitch.

[DawgFromOxford]

Is Sullivan faster than I give him credit for?

[Coach34]

Well **** if Stone is warming up that means Foster is getting another start

[BeardoMSU]

UMP behind the plate is having a rough day, lol....he's all over the place.

[maroonmania]

Well **** if Stone is warming up that means Foster is getting another start

Totally confusing. I assumed Stone would either start Sunday against UCLA or Tuesday against USM.

[Coursesuper]

Got it back.

[Coach34]

Teel warms up and it gets even more fun

[HoopsDawg]

Is Sullivan faster than I give him credit for?

He?s been hosed 3 times so, no.

[State82]

That ball was well struck

[Coach34]

James gotta get better receiving the ball

[Coursesuper]

I love how much we are using the change up.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

We have 8 runs against a good team while Ace Reese bats second and is 0 for 5. That's good offense.

[BeardoMSU]

We throwing BP, now?

[somebodyshotmypaw]

That homer went over 450 feet. Wow.

[WSOPdawg]

ok, so we've realized Maddox Miller is a LHP specialist only (to be used against LH hitters only), correct?

[Coach34]

ok, so we've realized Maddox Miller is a LHP specialist only (to be used against LH hitters only), correct?

He's a baby. Just need experience

[Coursesuper]

Good start to the weekend.

[DawgFromOxford]

What an execution of a baseball game! That was a lot of fun.

Ace was 0fer at the plate and we still put up 8 runs. Obviously you'd rather Miller not give up 2 HRs in the 9th, but leading by 6 I'd rather he pitch in the zone and live with it than walk people

[Coach34]

Good win to start things this weekend

[Coursesuper]

He's a baby. Just need experience

Up that many just fill up the zone solo shots wont beat you.

[HoopsDawg]

Good win to start things this weekend

Great win and saved the pen.

[Coach34]

now curious who takes the hill tomorrow

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Having so many bats really allows us to match up with the starting pitcher, then bring in pinch-hitters when they change arms. That was key today.

[The Federalist Engineer]

It's IQ 200 move to play the big freshman. This way you can play better portal ball later. You need to see what people can do and a freshman with innings and a 18.00 ERA is not going to be bid to the moon.

[ScooterDog]

And we were wearing MAROON !

[HoopsDawg]

now curious who takes the hill tomorrow

Hoping its not Tomas.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Hoping its not Tomas.

I would expect Tomas to pitch tomorrow. I will be shocked if it?s someone else.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Hoping its not Tomas.

It will be Tomas Valincius. Officially announced about 20 minutes ago.

[parabrave]

Jeff just said that except for Starkville area the BRN will be airing the Basketball game instead of the Baseball game tomorrow. We need to flood the AD office with not only no but hell no.

[Todd4State]

It will be Tomas Valincius. Officially announced about 20 minutes ago.

This is the right move. UCLA has had some struggles with their third guy and will likely be trying someone new. No reason for us to get cute this early in the season.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Jeff just said that except for Starkville area the BRN will be airing the Basketball game instead of the Baseball game tomorrow. We need to flood the AD office with not only no but hell no.

Or just pay the money to watch the game, you can even watch the one on Sunday too. Think of it as buying a ticket.

The AD office isn't going to take the basketball game off the radio.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

It will be Tomas Valincius. Officially announced about 20 minutes ago.

This is exactly what I was expecting. This keeps him in his throwing routine. Not a surprise at all.

[Coursesuper]

Jeff just said that except for Starkville area the BRN will be airing the Basketball game instead of the Baseball game tomorrow. We need to flood the AD office with not only no but hell no.

Just tell all those advertisers to piss of right? All that time is already payed for, you also can watch on YouTube.

[Coursesuper]

It will be Tomas Valincius. Officially announced about 20 minutes ago.

As it should be.

[Coach34]

The AD office isn't going to take the basketball game off the radio.

I think it's contractual

[AlSwearengen]

The company that is doing the broadcast was streaming it on YouTube. I watched today?s game for free. FloCollege Baseball; you might have to play around with the title when you search YouTube. I found a link that someone posted on facebook and then subscribed to their YouTube channel.

[Ranchdawg]

All I’ve got is that we now have a real coach and a real team! Today was a huge win! It is so refreshing to see the M over S play plus baseball and not blunder it to a loss. I will for ever be appreciative of Lemonis of a championship but his blunders since then was tuff to watch. Now let’s go kick V.Tech and UCLA. BASEBAL is baaack!

Today was free. Tomorrow and Sunday you will have to sign up for a month membership. Just remember to cancel it Sunday night and you're fine. It's like $20. You'd pay that in concession prices, or whatever you bring in a cooler, if the game was at home anyways.

[StarkVegasSteve]

I think it's contractual

It is.

[EdwardDrayton]

The advertisers aren't going to like the reach analytics for that basketball broadcast. *****

[maroonmania]

Up that many just fill up the zone solo shots wont beat you.

Exactly, I was fine with Miller filling up the zone with a 6 run lead. Solo HRs aren't going to do much in that situation, giving them free baserunners might though.

[Homedawg]

Like I said we didn't start Val on Sunday to begin the year to set him up against ucla. Foster pitched better than him in the preseason. Now he hasn't. We aren't looking a gift horse in. The mouth. Val tomorrow is the e right call. Handle Sunday when Sunday gets here.

[Homedawg]

Exactly, I was fine with Miller filling up the zone with a 6 run lead. Solo HRs aren't going to do much in that situation, giving them free baserunners might though.

Amen!!

[maroonmania]

Any word on tomorrow's starting pitcher?

[Brobi-wan]

Any word on tomorrow's starting pitcher?

Tomas

[State82]

Handle Sunday when Sunday gets here.

Always.

Well shiy I'm already on YT TV. Gonna have to look for it Tom. YT TV has like 40 sports channels/./

[AlSwearengen]

Well shiy I'm already on YT TV. Gonna have to look for it Tom. YT TV has like 40 sports channels/./

Not YoutubeTV but regular old YouTube.com. However, someone mentioned that today’s game was free and from here on out, it will be $20. I know nothing about that though.

[The Federalist Engineer]

I have a complaint about today.

Why does not-fast Sully stealing bases? Would hate to see him hurt but also, he is terrible at stealing bases. Not even wearing oven mits.

[Coach34]

We are running more on 3-1 counts

[Coach34]

One thing that is impressive with this team is that we are a match-up nightmare for everybody. We are platooning at C/1B/2B/RF-LF combo

[BeardoMSU]

I assume that is the staff's attention to analytical details, right? Obv we have depth that's has to be managed, which is a luxury, lol. Also, happy to see the shift being used.

All being said, very impressed with the coaching thus far.

[DownwardDawg]

Good game thread fellas! I was busy all day. Kept up with score but just now read the game thread.

It's alot easier to coach when you have a Top 5 in the country roster. When we sub- there's no drop in talent. It only improves the match-up

[Tater]

It's $30 for a month and their website sucks hardcore. Same cost as ESPN unlimited for fractional content. I pay for espn for the quad box convenience. While the money is ****ing annoying the UI is what's always driven me to respect Mike Leach's favorite historical group of characters. Same with Prime & Netflix. I can find everything I want online easily.

[Tater]

Well that coaching identified and brought in the talent. And managing the egos so far - seems we only have 1 malcontent that we've heard just murmurs of. And even then he was gonna get a PH against Delaware but barely missed out. Just so many people are performing rn.

[Tater]

We faced a Friday pitcher for a college baseball blue blood which has already proven they are damn good. Our best hitter went 0-5. We won handily and saved important arms for the rest of the weekend. The wool is thick

[Coach34]

Well that coaching identified and brought in the talent..

Lots of pieces here

A) We didnt support Lemon at this level that we are supporting BOC
B) BOC brought 4 very talented players with him
C) Hiring him brought in top guys he landed plus a few top recruits of his
D) 3 of our Top 4 SP's are Lemons. Our best Closer is Lemons.
E) Because we committed top money to baseball- we have a Top 5 roster. We should be very good just like Georgia, Bama, and LSU expect to be in football
F) My boy 34 entered the game today and said Como Esta Bitches!!!

Hail State

All true. Good post. Today was a big win over another blueblood program. Stacking wins like this are what helps you host a regional and get a National Seed.

[Cowbell]

You keep acting like getting a top 5 roster isn't a credit to coaching. Get over it already

[Big4Dawg]

Someone catch me up. Why is 34 so weird about this staff??

[Tater]

Someone catch me up. Why is 34 so weird about this staff??

He's a contrarian for engagement.

I enjoy arguing for arguing's sake (shocker) so I often take the bait. Arguing on the internet the last 25 years has helped build my in person wit. (Probably one of the few positives to it)

[confucius say]

Just as I thought before the season- we are doing alot of platooning

Frei/Wyers at 2B
VytaVal/Beans/Nunn in the OF
Stallman/Butthead at 1B
James/Raymond at C

Beans isn't platooning.
He may move from left to center to right depending on who else is playing though. Hes been our best defensive OF and the best at the plate so far. Granted, it's early.

[DawgFromOxford]

He had 2 really nice plays out there yesterday.
