Obviously continuing to rest Rea and Smith. Interesting to see Gridley continue to get time, and a bit weird to see Holland at 1B.

They're on the field now, and it doesn't look to be raining, though it is really cold.
BTW, check out the hailstatebb twitter page to see how quick Lovelady pops from his stance. Extremely impressive.
Anyone else having trouble with the live feed on sec network +?
I was. I exited and went back in, and it's fine now.
Good start for Brown. Allowed a weak base hit and got down 3-0 to the next batter, but battled back for the K to end the top half.
Watching on WatchESPN and it looks really, really cold. Good news though ... good seats are available.
Apparently Brown allowed two hits but picked the first runner off 1st.
Apparently the ESPN feed is a good bit behind; the twitter account is updating well before.
But two weak grounders to SS, a weak flyball to LF, and a Humphreys walk, and it's 0-0 after 1.
Brown's breaking ball is killing them; they're chasing everything in the dirt.
Lovelady with a perfect throw to 2nd to gun down the runner to end the top of the 2nd. 2 Ks from Brown, bloop hit to CF.
Another hit for Robson. Good grief. Followed by an easy steal of 2nd.
Gridley moved him to 3rd with a grounder, but terrible AB by Vickerson and a pop-up from Britton stranded him there. Still 0-0 after 2.
Man I can't believe Vickerson took 3 strikes without even swinging with a man on 3rd and 1 out. We fail to score.
Britton not helping his case for 3b
Yea, but he's still our "best infielder" according to some of our board experts.Quote:

Another hit, 2-0. Ugh. Followed by another SB and a walk.
Brown is struggling. They've stopped swinging at balls in the dirt, but he keeps throwing them. His pitch count is already climbing.
Get somebody else at 3rd
Where's spruill? Get him in the game
Ross is warming up.
Gonna withhold judgement on Preston. It's really hard to pitch when it's this cold.
Definitely. I'm not worried, we just need to start hitting the ball and win this game.Quote:

Fantastic play by Gridley to end the inning after a Brown K. 2-0 Marshall.
Gridley looks like he's going to be a really good player for us.
Way to battle back Preston.
I wish Britton would perform at the plate in a game the way he does in BP. His raw power is incredible but he looks lost at times at the plate
Good grief
You gotta admit.. that was a nice Roger Dorn Oley on that last one.Quote:

Man that breaking ball this guy is throwing is just hanging up there.
This Marshall pitcher not having much trouble with the cold. Of course, he's probably used to it.
Yea, it was 5 degrees at marshall yesterday. LolQuote:

I'm wanting to see more of Rooker.
Biggest difference in the game so far. Our players are out there all bundled up with face covers on while Marshall's players are out there playing like its just any other regular day.Quote:

Yeah, that was a good, quick inning.Quote:

Humphreys with a 2B to start B4. He's got pretty good speed. That ball didn't even make the warning track, and he was in 2nd standing up easy.
Nice patience on something other than a breaking ball by Humphreys. Got the 2 bagger.
Crap. Running at 2nd with no outs and we won't do nothing with it.
This ump has a very high strike zone. Downside is he isn't calling anything low.
