Game 3, Cades turn

[parabrave]

Well we have another leadoff in Drew McGowan. But still have Pedro, Yeager and Lf bringing up the rear.

[magrooder]

Hancock with the solo shot.

[msstate7]

Atta boy. We need you Hancock

[Leroy Jenkins]

Wear pinstripes every day. If we are going to suck anyway at least we can look good.

[parabrave]

Well when you connect with a 97mph fastball over the plate it leaves the park just as fast./

[magrooder]

I don't know how accurate the radar gun is at Arky, but it was showing 96-99 on the pitcher

[Saltydog]

That ball from Hancock was a rocket. He knocked the stitches outta that ball.

[parabrave]

Wear pinstripes every day. If we are going to suck anyway at least we can look good.

Well the last time we wore these we won.

[Saltydog]

I don't know how accurate the radar gun is at Arky, but it was showing 96-99 on the pitcher

I posed the question yesterday but where are our arms like that?

[parabrave]

Ok Cade NO WALKS. Or hit batters.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Smith has to move up in the rotation.

[parabrave]

Wow 3 SO's and no walks.

[magrooder]

Cade dealing 3 strikeouts bottom of the 1st

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Well we have another leadoff in Drew McGowan. But still have Pedro, Yeager and Lf bringing up the rear.

Trying to get a centerfielder who can hit. Maybe our best bet is to hope either McGowan, Skinner, or Davis can play against righties and Corder can play against lefties. But centerfield is similar to shortstop at the plate for us.

[parabrave]

And Cumbust with another long ball to the outfielder.

[parabrave]

Trying to get a centerfielder who can hit. Maybe our best bet is to hope either McGowan, Skinner, or Davis can play against righties and Corder can play against lefties. But centerfield is similar to shortstop at the plate for us.

Heck I world take a L/O guy who understands the concept of getting on base anyway he can.

[parabrave]

Another passed ball with 2 outs. Come on guys.

[Saltydog]

Smith has to move up in the rotation.

I disagree. We're not going to win many friday games anyway because of the bullpen. He's our best chance for winning on a weekend so just leave him where he is against the other teams no. 3.

[parabrave]

Way to hang in there Cade.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Cade has 41 pitches through 2 innings. His pitch count got high in that second inning.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

At least Smith is somewhat close on his walks.

[parabrave]

Well we got Yeager, LF and Mcgowan up. Hopefully we get one on base.

[Leroy Jenkins]

I disagree. We're not going to win many friday games anyway because of the bullpen. He's our best chance for winning on a weekend so just leave him where he is against the other teams no. 3.

What good is going 1-2 every weekend? Beef is good enough to win Sunday games.

[Cowbell]

At least Smith is somewhat close on his walks?.

Yes he's living on the corners / heck we hit like 4 guys last night

[parabrave]

Yeager with the dinger,

[Cowbell]

What good is going 1-2 every weekend? Beef is good enough to win Sunday games.

I think we should move Cade to Friday and slide everyone else back

[Cowbell]

I think it's time to put Yeager higher in the batting order

[magrooder]

Yeager bomb 2-0

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Why not move Yeager to Lead Off?

[Cowbell]

Why not move Yeager to Lead Off?

Yes

[Mjoelner34]

Raise your hand if you knew Kam James was getting low outside with 2 strikes. Raise your other hand if you knew he would swing at it.

[Mjoelner34]

I think we should move Cade to Friday and slide everyone else back

I would leave Cade right where he is. If anything, I'd move PJ to Saturdays and use our throwers and walkers on Fridays. We're not hitting any Friday aces well enough to waste what pitching we do have.

[EdwardDrayton]

Raise your hand if you knew we’d give up another home run today.

[Offshore Dawg]

I would leave Cade right where he is. If anything, I'd move PJ to Saturdays and use our throwers and walkers on Fridays. We're not hitting any Friday aces well enough to waste what pitching we do have.
The truth is strong with this statement

[msstate7]

Anyone know where I can buy a baseball flex fit hat?

[Saltydog]

This staff has brought some Pig hitters out of slumps.

[msstate7]

2-2 going to 5th. Couldn't ask for more really

[BeardoMSU]

Arkansas fans are so ****ing stupid.

[BeardoMSU]

Bases loaded. 1 out. Kam up.

We have to capitalize here.

[BeardoMSU]

Kam rolls a DP, haha. **** us.

[msstate7]

Dammit! That's why "putting the ball in play" isn't always a good thing. College hitters hit too many damn ground balls

[magrooder]

Why are you pulling the f'n ball when they are giving you an opposite field base hit?????

[EdwardDrayton]

Damn we sure know how to waste some RISP.

[Ranchdawg]

Were the pigs stealing our signs in the 4th inning?

[msstate7]

That feels like the nail

[msstate7]

Here comes the 23 hop ground ball to score the run

[msstate7]

Maybe it is our day (assuming smith is fine)

[magrooder]

Damn, I hope that didn't hurt Cade

[EdwardDrayton]

Any chance Lemo let’s Cade throw 150 **** .

[CaptainObvious]

Kam rolls a DP, haha. **** us.

Was it wrong for me to hope James struck out in that spot? Asking for a few 1000 friends.

[BeardoMSU]

Was it wrong for me to hope James struck out in that spot? Asking for a few 1000 friends.

He's been the anti-clutch.

[Ranchdawg]

I hope Cade is ok! But the team better be playing like their hair is on fire for their injured teammate.

[magrooder]

Tanner with a solo shot

[was21]

Ain't no quit in 'em

[msstate7]

Imagine being able to bring in Preston now

[CaptainObvious]

Sooooo?.. how is our baseball recruiting going? Because some of these guys should be pretty easy to unseat from their apparently presumed starting spot.

[CaptainObvious]

Damn! 23 walks and 4 HBP to this point in the series. Awful pitching. I mean that is bottom of the barrel level pitching.

[Offshore Dawg]

Just concede and go home, no relief pitching

[BeardoMSU]

Imagine being able to bring in Preston now


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-ztmhwkEUw&ab_channel=AdamCokonougher

[msstate7]

Why would you bunt there? Just stand there, and it would be bases loaded

[Leroy Jenkins]

Ain't no quit in 'em


Ain't much of anything in 'em.

[msstate7]

That looked like one of our big ABs.

[CaptainObvious]

I mean. I could be off a little bit in my summation, so correct me if I am wrong.

If you can?t hit. And you can?t pitch. And your defense is somewhat suspect. Isn?t that a losing recipe?

[msstate7]

2-0 count, so we're patient, of course

[Leroy Jenkins]

I mean. I could be off a little bit in my summation, so correct me if I am wrong.

If you can?t hit. And you can?t pitch. And your defense is somewhat suspect. Isn?t that a losing recipe?

They are fielding.985 that's probably top 5 nationally.

[EdwardDrayton]

I mean. I could be off a little bit in my summation, so correct me if I am wrong.

If you can?t hit. And you can?t pitch. And your defense is somewhat suspect. Isn?t that a losing recipe?

Well sometimes even the runt puppy finds a teat ****

[msstate7]

This feels like we either score or lose here

[msstate7]

Trash AB after trash AB

[Leroy Jenkins]

**** us.

[msstate7]

I hate watching college hitters hit ground ball after ground ball. Just strike out

[Skydawg1]

Soon as I saw who was hitting leadoff today, I wanted to barf.

[msstate7]

I hate watching college hitters hit ground ball after ground ball. Just strike out

I guess I see why college coaches bunt so much. College hitters can't execute situationally at all

[R2Dawg]

Seeing what we do to other teams once we get thru their 1-2 good pitchers makes me see how big losing Sims, Simmons, KC really are. You take away any of the good teams top2-3 pitchers, they become our team real quick.

[EdwardDrayton]

I guess I see why college coaches bunt so much. College hitters can't execute situationally at all

It seems rare we see a true hitter like Mangum. We see a lot of swingers.

[magrooder]

Need to nut up here and score more than one damn run.

[magrooder]

How could state not have recruited this freshman pitching?

[BeardoMSU]

Good job, Kam.**

[R2Dawg]

Boy this ump's strike zone is Hog friendly right now.

[EdwardDrayton]

C’mon ump. We help them enough all by ourselves.

[msstate7]

Getting our butt kicked for 2 games is gonna make winning this one tough. We'll see their best now

[Leeshouldveflanked]

I hate watching college hitters hit ground ball after ground ball. Just strike out
You got your wish!

[msstate7]

We may not put another ball in play this game

[msstate7]

You got your wish!

With no one on. They hit a grounder when teams want one, and they k when no one is on

[BayouDawg]

Hitting has to be addressed this off season. Whether thats staff changes or just more practice. This is pathetic.

[EdwardDrayton]

Getting our butt kicked for 2 games is gonna make winning this one tough. We'll see their best now

Was disappointed Friday and yesterday. Gonna? be flat pissed if we let this one get away.

[msstate7]

Was disappointed Friday and yesterday. Gonna? be flat pissed if we let this one get away.

Get ready. They have arms to win this and we don't

[msstate7]

Maybe we have ourselves a reliever now

[R2Dawg]

We only have HR for scores, probably gonna take a HR to win it.

Auger looks good.

[Saltydog]

Seeing what we do to other teams once we get thru their 1-2 good pitchers makes me see how big losing Sims, Simmons, KC really are. You take away any of the good teams top2-3 pitchers, they become our team real quick.

KC remains to be seen. When he's pitched he's been lit up.

[parabrave]

What is our team BA vs Sec competition Versus Non SEC?

[Saltydog]

How could state not have recruited this freshman pitching?

We didn't recruit Garrett Crochet at UT a couple of years ago either. Not sure what our evaluations were or if they just gave bigger schollies but we damn sure missed on those two. This kid is pushing our shit in.

[EdwardDrayton]

Just a terrible approach in that AB by Hunter

[R2Dawg]

This pitcher can throw it anywhere and it is a strike

[Percho]

How is this guy playing at Arkansas?

[Saltydog]

Clark is just paralyzed on breaking balls. We have more than one cerrano.

[R2Dawg]

Well may be our last chance to win it here.

[msstate7]

We lost this game on Friday and Saturday. We couldn't even be competitive enough to force them to use arms.

[Leroy Jenkins]

**** us.

[Maroonthirteen]

How is this guy playing at Arkansas?

Supposed his whole family is Arkansas fans. Or from there.

Still pisses me off. State be teeing off on him.

[662dawg]

How the hell did we let Tygart get out of Mississippi?

[Saltydog]

I would tell Cumbest to never swing at any pitch that has spin on it. If it's a strike, so be it because he's not hitting it anyway.

[msstate7]

I would tell Cumbest to never swing at any pitch that has spin on it. If it's a strike, so be it because he's not hitting it anyway.

My guess is he can't see the spin, or he wouldn't swing.

[magrooder]

Supposed his whole family is Arkansas fans. Or from there.

Still pisses me off. State be teeing off on him.

According to the announcers he wasn't recruited by us, but they don't always know what they are talking about.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

How the hell did we let Tygart get out of Mississippi?
Relies too much on breaking ball.**

[Leroy Jenkins]

I would tell Cumbest to never swing at any pitch that has spin on it. If it's a strike, so be it because he's not hitting it anyway.

That's exactly how we walk 20+ on a weekend.

[CadaverDawg]

We've all seen how this movie ends. Walk off bomb, or walk off walk

[msstate7]

Our shifts seem 50/50 at best

[BayouDawg]

We've all seen how this movie ends. Walk off bomb, or walk off walk

Dont forget the walk off wild pitch possibly

[msstate7]

I love shifts, but I really question heavy use of them in college. There's just no way you have he same scouting that mlb has. Hell, you can align shifts in mlb by just looking at fangraphs

[Cowbell]

Get ready. They have arms to win this and we don't

It's why Cade has to be moved to Friday

[Maroonthirteen]

According to the announcers he wasn't recruited by us, but they don't always know what they are talking about.

We recruit Lewisburg. We signed the catcher out of there that year.

[msstate7]

Bases loaded, 1 out, and James failed. That was game.

[parabrave]

Where is Pico?

[msstate7]

Who the F do we bring in that won't walk in the winning run?

[Cowbell]

Who the F do we bring in that won't walk in the winning run?

Left handed sims

[BayouDawg]

Bases loaded, 1 out, and James failed. That was game.

Yep. He has a high average but seems to never hit when it matters.

[662dawg]

Bring Fristoe in with bases loaded? 😂

[Cowbell]

Why would you intentionally walk and then bring fristoe in. Now that is the dumbest thing I have seen us do so far

[parabrave]

We've all seen how this movie ends. Walk off bomb, or walk off walk

Fristoe??? take your pic on how this ends

[magrooder]

Who the F do we bring in that won't walk in the winning run?

With Fristoe's control no problem

[BayouDawg]

Why would you intentionally walk and then bring fristoe in. Now that is the dumbest thing I have seen us do so far

Is Lemonis on drugs?

[R2Dawg]

Talk about a bad AB for Ark.

[parabrave]

Thats the way to take one for the team LoTan,

[R2Dawg]

Well Tanner took one for the team

[parabrave]

Well good job Fristoe

[R2Dawg]

That was a strike, should have been

[R2Dawg]

Look at Fristoe with some fire.

[CadaverDawg]

That's the Fristoe I have been wanting to see. Good job kid

[magrooder]

Dang Fristoe came up strong and got a questionable strike three call. I'd say the ump owed us at least one.

[662dawg]

Bring Fristoe in with bases loaded? 😂

Ok it worked 😬😁

[Mjoelner34]

Did Fristoe's girados just drop after he hit Tanner in the girados?

[BayouDawg]

That a boy fristoe. And LT literally took one for the team

[FISHDAWG]

This is wearing me out... I hope Cade's performance wasn't wasted

[EdwardDrayton]

Fristoe with some testosterone just when I thought we were all estrogen.

[662dawg]

We?re gonna score a run or two off Tygart here but we sure could have used him this year

[CadaverDawg]

As much as I know we are not a good team, I would consider this weekend quite ok if we could escape with a dub today

[magrooder]

Lead off single by Yeager

[magrooder]

Sac bunt

[msstate7]

We seem to believe in analytics, but at the same time we feel we have to use a fast, non-hitter at leadoff.

[R2Dawg]

What no review?

[msstate7]

If you need a hard ground ball at the SS to secure a loss, James is your man

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Nice hustle down that first base line Kamren.**

[R2Dawg]

Fristoe with some testosterone just when I thought we were all estrogen.

He may not figure it out, but if he could, our season could start changing. Fristoe has the potential. He is another bust so far that we really need to pan out.

[EdwardDrayton]

What I would give for just one Elijah MacNamee on this team right now.

[magrooder]

I just don't understand how a college hitter has to pull every f'n hit when the oppo is wide f'n open and the go ahead run it at 3rd f'n base.

[magrooder]

I don't see Fristoe keeping them scoreless

[msstate7]

I just don't understand how a college hitter has to pull every f'n hit when the oppo is wide f'n open and the go ahead run it at 3rd f'n base.

No wonder we shift. We must think it's not allowed to take what the defense allows

[EdwardDrayton]

I just don't understand how a college hitter has to pull every f'n hit when the oppo is wide f'n open and the go ahead run it at 3rd f'n base.

That is a significant part of our struggles at the plate.

[R2Dawg]

We gonna miss Logan next year, dude is a great catcher.

[HoopsDawg]

We seem to believe in analytics, but at the same time we feel we have to use a fast, non-hitter at leadoff.

It's crazy

[msstate7]

I thought that was game

[EdwardDrayton]

Sometimes scratching my head with our pitch calls and locations too.

[msstate7]

This will be a walk off hr or 3 straight walks lol

[EdwardDrayton]

NOW GIVE THE MAN SOME DAMN RUN SUPPORT!!

[magrooder]

Good job Fristoe, way to prove me wrong.

[Hambone]

I couldn’t imagine being this negative in my life.

7’s been calling ball game since the 8th

[msstate7]

Man, i really don't expect our offense to come through, but I'm impressed with auger and fristoe.

[OLJWales]

We seem to believe in analytics, but at the same time we feel we have to use a fast, non-hitter at leadoff.

Yep. Speed ain't worth didley if you cant get on base.

[mparkerfd20]

I couldn’t imagine being this negative in my life.

7’s been calling ball game since the 8th
As he should with our bullpen.

[EdwardDrayton]

Kings of the Slow Roller

[msstate7]

I couldn’t imagine being this negative in my life.

7’s been calling ball game since the 8th

Man, I think I'll be right in the end, but I would absolutely love to be wrong

[magrooder]

What a bullshit call

[msstate7]

That 3-1 swing makes me wanna punch a baby in the face. What a terrible AB, Hines. Your whole family is embarrassed

[msstate7]

Should be bases loaded 1 out, but Hines is a selfish player

[magrooder]

Should be bases loaded right now with one out.

[Hambone]

Agreed, never swung

[EdwardDrayton]

That 3-1 swing makes me wanna punch a baby in the face. What a terrible AB, Hines. Your whole family is embarrassed

Think that makes him 0-5 today. At least he was better balanced than the last AB and not flipping the bat head. But just so undisciplined in terms of laying off bad pitches.

[Maroonthirteen]

Got the scoop on Tygart. Parents are definitely Arkansas fans. Prior to him signing there.

They say he has grown a couple inches since high school.

Side note, the kid ole miss signed peaked in high school and is now at nwcc.

[magrooder]

Agreed, never swung

If that was a swing then every time someone partially swings it's a strike.

[Leroy Jenkins]

It kills me when we strike out on pitches that were never a strike at any point.

[msstate7]

Cumbest never saw an offspeed speed pitch he didn't like. Cumbest has never hit an offspeed pitch. Take a seat

[magrooder]

Thank goodness Cumbest has learned to hit a breaking ball***

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Our approach at the plate is comical.

[State82]

It is unimaginable just how shitty we really are.

[CaptainObvious]

I wonder if he ever though about swinging left handed? It for that matter any of these State guys swinging opposite of what they normally do

[msstate7]

Thank goodness Cumbest has learned to hit a breaking ball***

We should pull him to the side and tell him there that it won't be a fastball. You. Will. Not. See. A. Fastball. There!!!! Take a f'n strike! If they happen to fall behind, you might actually see one.

[NCDawg]

Cumbest should concentrate on football. He can't hit a curve ball.

[magrooder]

Imagine that someone hits oppo on the shift.

[CaptainObvious]

Too bad battles needed a tennis racket to hit that 0-2 count. Sarcasm on!!

[magrooder]

Cumbest should concentrate on football. He can't hit a curve ball.

I knew we should have sacrificed a live chicken

[EdwardDrayton]

Well that just scared the ever loving out of the hitter!! LOL!!

[msstate7]

Selfish play by the ark hitter. Take that, and win the game

[msstate7]

Cumbest should concentrate on football. He can't hit a curve ball.

He just needs to find a league where they throw nothing but fastballs

[magrooder]

He just needs to find a league where they throw nothing but fastballs

Maybe he could grow his hair out and play soft ball.

[EdwardDrayton]

Selfish play by the ark hitter. Take that, and win the game

LOL that would have been a STEEP price to pay

[Mjoelner34]

Thank goodness Cumbest has learned to hit a breaking ball***

With him and James, its as predictable as sunrise and sunset. With 2 strikes just drop a change up or slider between the right knee and ankle of the catcher and start walking toward the dugout as soon as it leaves your hand.

[magrooder]

Wow. Great play by Hancock to get the liner and double up at second.

[R2Dawg]

Hancock what a play, the Dawgs are showing some fight today.

[R2Dawg]

We need to score soon before Fristoe runs out of mojo.

[magrooder]

With him and James, its as predictable as sunrise and sunset. With 2 strikes just drop a change up or slider between the right knee and ankle of the catcher and start walking toward the dugout as soon as it leaves your hand.

I don't know why you'd throw them anything other than a breaking ball if you can come close to a strike with it.

[magrooder]

We need to score soon before Fristoe runs out of mojo.

Need to have Kohn ready if we score a run.

[magrooder]

Why aren't we pinch hitting for McGowan?

[msstate7]

Finally a well hit ball by our leadoff

[R2Dawg]

Time for James to deliver today something.

[parabrave]

And James doesn't swing at a ball in the dirt. Good take.

[parabrave]

Big Hit.

[magrooder]

Let's go Hancock!

[R2Dawg]

Ark pitchers a little shaky

[parabrave]

Who do we bring in? Pico?

[msstate7]

Hancock, atta boy

[magrooder]

Good job by Hancock.

[msstate7]

Need 1 more

[R2Dawg]

Time to close this thing out.

[msstate7]

Need 1 more, again

[magrooder]

Tanner with the two out rbi single

[EdwardDrayton]

LOL. That is the worst base hit RBI swing I?ve ever seen

[BuckyIsAB****]

Got to hang on and the weekend doesnt look as bad

[R2Dawg]

Fristoe can get some confidence if he can finish this thing.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Who do we bring in? Pico?

Forsythe.

[R2Dawg]

No brooms for the year must happen on the losing side that is.

[R2Dawg]

Be a good time for a Hines knock out blow.

[msstate7]

Hines, please make them throw you a strike

[magrooder]

Hines can't lay off that high fastball

[FISHDAWG]

I'll take that inning...

[magrooder]

Alright, can we shut them down now?

[EdwardDrayton]

Hunter 0-6 today but avoids the golden sombrero

[magrooder]

One pitch one out

[Maroonthirteen]

2 away! One more!!!! One!

[msstate7]

Despite what I've told you for 2 hours, we aren't dead. Great win!

[EdwardDrayton]

Big time Sunday W on the road for the Dawgs to avoid the sweep!!!

[magrooder]

Fristoe nuts up and wins it. Great job

[Maroonthirteen]

Good good win. Hate to lose the series but nice to salvage one.

Fristoe nutted up. That a boy!

[State82]

Outstanding!

[Commercecomet24]

IF Fristoe can do this consistently we've got something at the backend of the pen, now.

[msstate7]

IF Fristoe can do this consistently we've got something at the backend of the pen, now.

Auger with a huge assist

[parabrave]

Dam Good Job Staff.

[EdwardDrayton]

Said on the front end of the series would be satisfied with one on the road against #2. Yes sir. Way to battle today Dawgs!!

[Commercecomet24]

Auger with a huge assist

Yeah auger has been very good as well. Those 2 could give us a great backend as setup and closer.

[NCDawg]

Auger with a huge assist

Agree. Good job by Auger and Fristoe.

[SaintDawg]

There are flashes of the real MS State in this team. It's in there for sure. We know that you got it in you, guys!

[OLJWales]

Is there a case for Cade moving to Saturday?

At any rate, I wouldn't mind Lemonis doing a Leach style after a win type locker room speech. I'm still pissed off.

I think he used this one on the ump at Memphis

[OLJWales]

I think he used this one on the ump at Memphis

LOL. "17 You!, 17 Me! & 17 Everybody!"

[BeardoMSU]

Great ****ing win.

[EdwardDrayton]

I think he used this one on the ump at Memphis

Put this Leach video on a loop and make this team watch it over and over all the 17n way home.

[DownwardDawg]

Huge win today! We really needed that.

[662dawg]

https://youtu.be/uZaOFTp5_C8

We need to move Cade to Friday. Push Preston to Saturday & Stinnett to Sunday. Cade glean give us 6-7 on list Friday nights. Preston the same on Saturday. If we need Auger or Fristoe on Fridays for an inning use them & Use him & Fristoe multiple innings on Sunday if Stinnett is off.

[R2Dawg]

There are flashes of the real MS State in this team. It's in there for sure. We know that you got it in you, guys!

We've seen it a few times this year. Would be cool if the season turned after today and Fristoe became a force we know he can be. We have some pieces, this year should not be this down. Pitching losses were huge but an MSU should be good enough to survive that too.

[OLJWales]

Forgot to congratulate you Base Dog on Cade today as I'm sure you have your chin up and shoulders held back these days and deservedly so Sir.

[KOdawg1]

There's a big difference between 4-5 and 3-6. Today was a massive win.

This team ain't making Omaha, but they can still make the tournament.

[BayouDawg]

This was a great bounce back after getting pantsed the first 2 games. Avoiding the sweep was a must. Hancock made key plays today. Need a few more vets to start stepping up in key situations.

[OLJWales]

So what's the story so far on the classes Lemonis has signed since inking with us? Were all these kids already committed before Lemonis got here and he just went ahead and honored our offer or were changes made? Doesn't Lemonis bear some responsibility for these freshmen and sophs not ready to play?

[BayouDawg]

I may be wrong but I think a good bit of the freshmen are fully his

[Schultzy]

We need to move Cade to Friday. Push Preston to Saturday & Stinnett to Sunday. Cade glean give us 6-7 on list Friday nights. Preston the same on Saturday. If we need Auger or Fristoe on Fridays for an inning use them & Use him & Fristoe multiple innings on Sunday if Stinnett is off.
No, we need to flush Friday and sell out for Saturday and Sunday. I?m not sure what the combination for that is but burning Preston on Friday against a true 1st round stopper every weekend will make it difficult to get to that 15 wins we need to ensure making a regional.

If we can just get this team to post season you never know what will happen.

[The Federalist Engineer]

I may be wrong but I think a good bit of the freshmen are fully his

New stadium, multiple Supers, and recruiter coach - recruiting looks not really better. 2017 and 2019 was the engine for the 2021 championship.

It does not look like Lemonis out-recruits Cohen. 2023 looks solid with position players, but the highest ranked pitcher is a fake recruit, IMG Academy kid.

Landon Sims says that Cannizzaro recruited him in this old interview. Bednar committed in 2018.

No, we need to flush Friday and sell out for Saturday and Sunday. I?m not sure what the combination for that is but burning Preston on Friday against a true 1st round stopper every weekend will make it difficult to get to that 15 wins we need to ensure making a regional.

If we can just get this team to post season you never know what will happen.

Has Flushing Friday's ever been a successful strategy?

I’m not sure we’ve ever had to but how many Fridays are we gonna win in this league with our lineup? Generating a 2nd season is the goal now and I think flushing Friday gives us the best opportunity for that.

If you happen to score a bunch of runs on a given Friday then adjust to your better arms to preserve that win.

Cade has to stay on Sunday's. He'll be wasted on Friday because we won't score anyway.

You can't outwardly Flush Friday. But that's probably what the coaches did by saving Auger for Sunday. Saturday was also flushed with Stinnett and Tullar giving up 10 in 4 innings.

Has this been addressed, no Pico Kohn or B Smith this weekend.

Will interesting to see if Lemonis makes rotation changes next weekend.

BTW, Anybody know why last year's Pig Thread got locked?
