I do not think we will suck, but we are gonna have to pitch outstanding to win games this year. We have a high K, low power lineup... not a good combo.

Going to be a loonnnnnggggg year.
Henderson out to talk... after a walk. Runners on the corners. 1 away
Did he just say we had nobody up in the pen?
Liebelt throwing in the pen now
Guys calm down... Sandlin is good. Like All American the last 2 years, 2.38 ERA last year good. Now he's been out of the pen last year so I hopped he wouldn't be able to go deep, but some of our guys (caugh caugh Mangum) like to swing as early in counts as possible so he's had quick innings. But he's genuinely good, I'm not shocked to see him own us like this. I'm more disappointed Pilk is still going so deep into counts like last year- if he could work faster he'd be able to give and extra inning or 2. Plus he always craps out at like 80 pitches. James seems like he needs some time on the mound to let the nerves settle down, but that's understandable. I'm more interested in how the hitters respond late after Sandlin finally goes, and how the rest of the staff looks the next 2 games. But there hitting + Sandlin is a combo that can take down a lot of SEC teams, in my oppinion.
We suck? No we don't. Dammit boy it's just the 1st game
Magnum with another 400 foot out.. but this one scores a run. 4-0 . 2 away
Hatcher saves Gilbert... geez that was a high snap throw.
4-0 USM going to the 7th.
ok whoever this goober on the broadcast is... just said its the best place to ever watch and broadcast a game. what an idiot.
foul out to gilbert. 3 away. 4-0 after 6
We are a tad lucky to only be losing 0-4 ... and lucky no More Sandlin this weekend
If not for Cody Brown last year, Sandlin could have ended our season last year. He is very good.
Maybe the new Dudy will spark some bats
He's going deeper than he has before yes, and like I say a lot of that is on our inability to take a strike or stretch an at bat. But regardless, he's still really good. If we struggle against the next 2 starters and whoever Sandlin's reliever is, then I'll agree this lineup is flawed.
One thing to take into account is that Cann gets his guys jacked... Opening day, ranked opponent, months prepping and being very excited... these are ingredients for a team to be a little too eager to play. Baseball requires a certain level of relaxation from both pitchers and hitters. I honestly think a lot of our problems today are going to go away with a few games.
Either way though, it's ONE GAME! We have seen only 2-3 ABs from these kids; Brent freaking Rooker had 3 straight at bats that looked terrible last year. Give it time to judge, and trust that Cann will figure the big flaws out
Damnit... RF bumples the catch.. but was in foul teritory by a foot.. or would have been a double.
Instead a standard groundout up the left side of the infield by Vansau
Sit down Gilbert.
Gilbert with 3rd k
9 Ks thru 6.2 and still only has around 90 pitches
It’s a long season. Some of you better have done some dieting, exercising in the off season. High blood pressure causes coronarys and some of you are gonna have one.
Gilbert is weak on offens and defense. We don have a quality catcher.
This lack of hitting is making me wanna puke.
I do appreciate the updates as this live streaming is horseshit. For me anyway
well Luke ALMOST got it through the infield... but nope.. after 6.5 4-0 usm
MSU has 4 hits on the day.... 9 k's, and NO WALKS on 25 batters faced.
Infield single to start off bottom 7th.
