If MyRadar is up to date (and sometimes I wonder) it looks like a little rain is starting to fill in around Starkville. I suppose it depends on whether they want to play in light rain with the possiblity of it continuing or even getting heavier as the game goes on. Flood warnings are all over the place from Starkville west and north.Quote:

going with Hayden Jones as DH. That's saying, at least in part, that Skelton has a better bat than Landon Jordan. I'm not sure about that. I would like Jordan's bat in the lineup.
I get that it could also just mean they are more comfortable with Skelton catching Small than Jones at this point.
I hope we don't burn Small in a rainout.Quote:

I interpret it as meaning one if 2 things: 1) they think Jones might have a better bat than Jordan so might as well replace Jordan at DH, or 2) Skelton is the better defensive catcher and they want Jones to prove his bat before having him catch. But 3) is possible, which is Skelton is better with Small but Jones can hit better that Jordan or SkeltonQuote:

Hopefully we jump out early and hold on for 5 innings.Quote:

Sweet
Pitches have been thrown. 0-0 with a 2-1 count 0 outs
a 4 pitch inning for our batters. smh.
That was one of the most pathetic half innings of baseball I can remember
meanwhile, Small falling behind in the count on, I believe, 3 out of 4 batters now. That's dangerous.
Yet, has 3 Ks. lolQuote:

Why not take it and get better at timing up the FB? Why not find out if he can even locate a 2nd pitch? Why not find out something early and then get more aggressive as we figure him out?
Take a damn pitch guys
Did we get new guns? Small really hitting 96?
Ks the first 2 batters, then plunks the guy batting .000 for the year on 0-2.
Go look at first pitch hitting data and you’ll understand why you SHOULD be attacking first pitch.
Meltdown after 4 pitches... OUR GUYS SUCK... LOL.Quote:

ole boy is slanging that pill. Because its raining I have my ball team watching the game in my class
That isn't what I said at all and you're being disingenuous for suggesting it. Our "guys" don't suck, handing the pitcher 2 outs on 2 pitches sucks. It's a bad strategy, especially before you've seen what he's got todayQuote:

Hayden jones is about to open this up.
This dude is throwing some meat over the plate, getting some good rips
4 barrels for our first 7 batters.
Yea. We've been putting some good contact on him. Keep it up and we'll be fine.Quote:

Are we watching the same game? Jake flied out to shallow center. Rowdy flied out to the 3B. Westburg lined out to the SS. MacNamee grounded out to SS. Jones grounded out to SS. I'm not seeing this solid contact you speak of, though I'm sure we'll figure it outQuote:
