MSU vs USM Game 1 thread

Dang nice catch by the USM SS. THought that was extra bases into the gap off the bat.

Damnit Mangum hitting that first pitch... ***

We are gonna kill this guy soon

USM might get lucky and get this guy through 5 and bail on him

Mangum to lead off and Jordan's pop up weren't good but I feel like since then we've hit it solid even tho it hasn't resulted in anything. Mangum and Jordan both hit it solid their 2nd time up too.

As I've said, it's better to swing early after the 1st inning since you've had time to see what he's got. Also Jake was able to get around on this one, he wasn't able to on the first and he was jammed. If you don't get the difference between swing at a ball you can get around on vs one you can't I can't help you. Even then if the ball was hit 2 ft over it would have been a routine out, it's not like Jake smoked it. Also it should be noted Rowdy swung early in the count and made a routine grounder to end the inning.

Foscue is the only guy to make really solid contact early in the count

Guys, sounds like we got a professional hitting coach on this board... What was the last ones name?? Is he back?

The ball is getting stung, I am struggling with this pitcher with his 3xl jersey geez they look bush league.

Was thinking the same thing. Why is it so baggy?

We are all over this guy. Can't find a hole anywhere.

Yep with wind blowing out we get 2 HRs that inning. Mac put a charge into it as well. Just keep swinging got a feeling they will leave him in a little to long.

10 Ks already. Geez Small!

Small with 3 k's in the 5th.. 63 pitches. Time to put a couple on the board

Make it 11.

So, yes, it appears Small has taken that next step and is now looking like a dominant ace.

On the year so far: 10 IP, 3 H, 0 BB, 22 K.

Are you saying you're impressed with that 4 pitch first inning?

The crap was that?

That was a terrible at bat, and a terrible jump on the steal. Didn't even rifle it down to 2nd and had him by 2 steps. Then he 17ed up the slide.

Stealing 2nd with a slow catcher. it's the last thing they'd expect! Give it 2 minutes though and Small will have us back up at bat
