I havent been this excited to see a player (JT GINN) actually play for the first time

[99jc]

since David Fair in football. I hope the hype is everything it seems like it might be. Hail State!

[ZedFedder]

I’m with you.

[msstate7]

How accurate is stadium gun? Really interested in his velocity... esp after 50-60 pitches

[Scared_Hitless]

100% hope he lives up to it

[ZedFedder]

What’s his velocity at right now in the first?

[chef dixon]

Well well if it ain't our old friend Zach Farrar

[ZedFedder]

Well well if it ain't our old friend Zach Farrar


Noticed that

[chef dixon]

Dude just cranked the hell out of that pitch

[CadaverDawg]

I bet Zach Farrar is looking and this park and who he is playing for, and thinking "wtf did I pass up?"

[CadaverDawg]

JT seeing how crucial it is to locate that heater in college ball. He'll be more than fine, but these college kids at any school can hit a fastball belt high. This ain't Pearl we're playing. Better to give one of those up early if you're going to give up one

[chef dixon]

So cool to have Brantley talking in the booth

[parabrave]

Was that an infielded fly or not?

[msstate7]

I bet Zach Farrar is looking and this park and who he is playing for, and thinking "wtf did I pass up?"

I told you guys melting over him wasn't worth it. Ok, maybe I melted too

[chef dixon]

Was that an infielded fly or not?

Not sure why they won't just make a decision. Its not that complicated

[parabrave]

Not sure why they won't just make a decision. Its not that complicated

It would be to our benefit if it stands.

[HoopsDawg]

This is a horrible job by this umpire crew.

[smootness]

This is insane. This shouldn't take 30 seconds, much less 15 minutes.

[Percho]

Can you not run on your own anyway?

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Holy hell these ups are incompetent. Take literally 5-6 minutes discussing if the inf fly rule applies only to apparently figure out none of them remember where the ball landed, so they need to watch the reply.

Shouldn't have taken more than 30 seconds to get to that conclusion

[chef dixon]

Mac is gonna have a lot of RBI chances this year

[parabrave]

Indecision brought to you by replay. Like my PLT Sgt told me when I was a young 2LT, Make a decision, right or wrong but make one. Nice SacFly.

[smootness]

This home plate ump is terrible.

[chef dixon]

41 minute inning

[HoopsDawg]

41 minute inning

the league office or whoever need to have a talk with the umps. that was ridiculous.

[ZedFedder]

Can anyone there give his Velo on his fastball? The one on TV shows 86-88 but I know it?s gotta be faster than thay

[ShotgunDawg]

Can anyone there give his Velo on his fastball? The one on TV shows 86-88 but I know it?s gotta be faster than thay

It's an embarrassment. He and the rest of our guys are throwing much harder than the gun is indicating.

[TNDawg35]

What did the trainer and Foxhall come out for?

[msstate7]

It's an embarrassment. He and the rest of our guys are throwing much harder than the gun is indicating.

What did gun say on small yesterday? He's what 88-91?

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Ginn looks damn good. Ump is giving that low and outside FB and Ginn is killing them with it. Can't wait to see another inning or so when he brings out the breaking ball, thus far he hasn't needed it

[smootness]

What did the trainer and Foxhall come out for?

Just a guess - he winced because he didn't like the location of the pitch and they were making sure he wasn't hurting.

[smootness]

Ginn looks damn good. Ump is giving that low and outside FB and Ginn is killing them with it. Can't wait to see another inning or so when he brings out the breaking ball, thus far he hasn't needed it

He's thrown it some.

[chef dixon]

Their pitcher is terrible

[CadaverDawg]

We feasting on this guy

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Love our approach today. Take balls, make him throw strikes, don't do to much with what he does give you. Guess early yesterday really was just 1st game jitters. This lineup will be hell to handle

[chef dixon]

Yep, theres a lot of magic in this line up

[smootness]

I think we've got a really good team this year. And I think next year we're going to be absolutely insane.

[chef dixon]

I think we've got a really good team this year. And I think next year we're going to be absolutely insane.

Jake and Small are going to be tough to replace

[CadaverDawg]

I think we've got a really good team this year. And I think next year we're going to be absolutely insane.

I agree. This team doesn't seem to have many holes early on. I'm cautiously getting excited....not bc we're beating a bad team, but bc of what I see from our swings, approach, and pitching so far

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

I think we've got a really good team this year. And I think next year we're going to be absolutely insane.

Landon Jordan will be a good one. Mac and Jake are the only hitters we'll lose. Not sure what the pitching staff will look like though, Ginn and I guess James as the main starters, but not sure how it'll shake out after that

[CadaverDawg]

This ump sucks. High strike zone forcing pitchers to throw belt high

[smootness]

Jake and Small are going to be tough to replace

Yes, but the number of key sophomores in this lineup, with a potential shutdown ace in Ginn, is an awesome start.

Small, Mangum, and MacNamee will be big losses, but you always have losses. The number of players coming back from what should be a really good team this year could lead to really big things.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

This ump sucks. High strike zone forcing pitchers to throw belt high

Very inconsistent for sure. Doesn't seem biased to me just incompetent. He has been giving the low and away FB pretty consistently though

[CadaverDawg]

Yep

[smootness]

Ginn looks awesome. This could be a fun year.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Really missed my calling, I should have been baseball coach. All you have to do is convince 1st round picks to come to school and you'd have a pretty good team. Don't know why we waited till now to start doing it

[chef dixon]

Yes, but the number of key sophomores in this lineup, with a potential shutdown ace in Ginn, is an awesome start.

Small, Mangum, and MacNamee will be big losses, but you always have losses. The number of players coming back from what should be a really good team this year could lead to really big things.

I don't disagree. To me the sophomores are already good enough to get it done. If Ginn can be good this year that would give us 2 badass starters, and I think the kind of magic/leadership Jake brings makes this the year to have "sky is the limit" expectations. Also Mac has some of that "it" factor as well. The losses after this season will be WAY bigger than what we lost from last year.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

I low key think the biggest improvement in the team isn't the Fr hitters getting experience, or Ginn, it's Skelton becoming competent. he was SO BAD last year I think just being average all round will be a huge boost. He looks downright good as a hitter

[HoopsDawg]

Nice strategy YSU.

[smootness]

Dudy Noble looks unbelievable on tv. I can't believe that's our home park.

[CadaverDawg]

6 RBI through 3 innings for Allen! What's the record for RBIs in a game?

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

10 RBI for Allen this year in 1.33 games lol

[MarketingBully]

I low key think the biggest improvement in the team isn't the Fr hitters getting experience, or Ginn, it's Skelton becoming competent. he was SO BAD last year I think just being average all round will be a huge boost. He looks downright good as a hitter

It’s because Lemonis puts emphasis on catching and we have our own catching coach. Add to that Jones is giving Skelton a run for his money back there and you have a much improved Skelton.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Landon Jordan will be a good one. Mac and Jake are the only hitters we'll lose. Not sure what the pitching staff will look like though, Ginn and I guess James as the main starters, but not sure how it'll shake out after that

Ginn, Cerantola, Smith, MacLeod .... is a good start

Plus the JC players get a senior year, maybe we get Spencer Price and Kale Breaux at full strength.

[MarketingBully]

Ole Miss getting blitzed by Wright State 8-0.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Gotta give props to YSU's catcher- he's done a great job picking the ball out of the dirt today

[The Federalist Engineer]

Pull JT after 5, still get the win, we can see if the pen can hold an 11 run lead. I say yes.

Save these innings for the super regional

[starkvegasdawg]

Ole Miss getting blitzed by Wright State 8-0.

What's our score?

[msstate7]

What has Ginn's velocity been?

[smootness]

What's our score?

13-2

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

What's our score?

13-2, B5. We've score 3+ in every inning, Ginn left a FB up in the first for a 2 run homer but has been comically dominant since. His FB isn't overpowering but it's got good location and movement and they can't square it up. He's barely used the breaking ball but it's looked good when he does

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Cumbest!

[Scared_Hitless]

Cumbest is huge

[parabrave]

Dam good start for ginn. 68 P for 5 innings, 2 h, 2 r 2ER. 7 SO

[CadaverDawg]

Cerantola throwing G A S

[smootness]

Cerantola is a bit wild but whoa, his stuff looks goooooooood

[parabrave]

10 RBI for Allen this year in 1.33 games lol

So who is your guess for P.O.T.W?

[ShotgunDawg]

Cerentola is what future #1 overall pick looks like before they gain enough strength to control their body. Ridiculous.

Lots a AJ Burnett in him

[CadaverDawg]

I hope Cerantola is able to gain control...he could be special.

[ShotgunDawg]

I hope Cerantola is able to gain control...he could be special.

Very special. Has #1 MLB starter ingredients

[CadaverDawg]

Very special. Has #1 MLB starter ingredients

That hook is filthy too, damn

[CadaverDawg]

Looked great with his control on that last hitter. Damn, I'm impressed with that kid

[ShotgunDawg]

That hook is filthy too, damn

It’s absurd. Ginn is more advanced but Cerentola has a much higher ceiling.

Very similar to Kyle Wright at Vandy. Future top 5 overall pick.

That was a MLB hammer breaking ball.

Lemon can’t let Cerentola rot on the bench. They’ve got to find innings for him all year. If it clicks, he’s the difference in having an Abel type at Oregon State that can win the natty for you.

[CadaverDawg]

It’s absurd. Ginn is more advanced but Cerentola has a much higher ceiling.

I knew folks were high on him, but I didn't realize he had that kind of frame and such a good hook to go with that heat. He and Ginn will be fun to watch the next few years.

What's the story on Eagan? I haven't heard his name before, but he looked like a solid lefty today. Is it just the team he is facing, or could he provide us a reliable southpaw out of the pen potentially? Juco guy or HS?

[ShotgunDawg]

Don’t know much about him. Looked good though. I could see strike throwing being an issue at times, but he’s going to be very effective when in the zone.

[CadaverDawg]

Glad to see Price back out there. Fastball isn't back yet, but you can tell he knows that and has worked on his off speed stuff. 2 K's. I wonder when/if he'll get that fastball back to 90ish

[ZedFedder]

Cerantola’s stuff looked fantastic. He hit 94 on the TV gun once which I assume means 96-97 actually.

[ScoobaDawg]

Really excited to watch those pitchers develop this year... look forward to watching them in person in next few weeks.
