No Tanner Allen in Lineup. That foul ball must have left him with a lot of swelling and soreness.

C McLeod on the bump
McLeod is nasty.
Is something wrong with Luke Hancock?
Macleod is legit
McLeod will be Friday starter very very soon.
Missed that half inning....more K's for Macleod?
4-0 good guys, early. we whoopin' dat ass.
McLeod looking good and tidy
MacLeod, have yourself a debut, son!
Imagine if we had had this guy last year. Wowzer. He is a beast. I could easily see him being our Friday night guy if this is what we continue to see from him. This has been one hell of an outing so far. How many K's is that?
8 Ks in 4 IP. I can also see him as our Friday guy. He's around 60 pitches. I know they said the starters would have a pitch count this weekend, so he might not go too much further, but he's been pretty damn efficient. If Ginn can figure out how to make it to the 6th inning, we're gonna be tough to win a series against.
Dude is big and strong. He can bring it.
Struck out he side in Top of 5th and still throwing heat. Impressive first outing, indeed.
So are all baseball games going to be on ESPN+ now? Even after all the hype of SEC network and being able to watch all sports, we have to pay for an extra subscription to watch? Am I missing something?
All home games and SEC away games are on SEC+.
ESPN+ is only for away games that are in different conferences.
6-2 MSU in the bottom of the 8th. Will Bednar looked good one time through the order before he gave up a couple of runs.
Why no radar gun on the TV? Didn't we have it in the past?
MSU wins 6-2!
Now 2-0 on the season and pick up a series win.
Tanner and Kamren James have been good. We'll see how they adjust now that people will have some video of them. Riley Self had a clean inning but the most encouraging thing was MacLeoud pitching well. We need to get the sweep tomorrow.
Bednar looked really good today. He tired some his last inning, but I think he's going to be a big piece for us.
If Bednar improves his command with his breaking ball he will be really good. His fastball seems to be very lively.
I am looking forward to seeing Price tomorrow and seeing what his slider looks like. Of course, I will have crossed fingers that Cerantola throws strikes.
Macloud looked better than I expected.
TA was walking gingerly pregame. I didn?t bother him but you could easily see he wasn?t full go.
He should have been taken out right after it happened yesterday. He was limping after running to first.
I appreciate the guy being a gamer but we need him full on for the marathon ahead, not the sprint of this series.
So how good is this Wright State team from Ohio that we'll be sweeping tomorrow?
They were 42-17 last year I believe the announcers said. Lost in their conference tournament and missed postseason. Returned a lot. Their pitcher today was 7-0 last year so not too shabby.
The best thing to do would be what I am suggesting. But you're right about it never happening. So based on the situation it's probably going to be best to start MacLeoud on Friday and Ginn on Saturday. If Cerentola surprises me tomorrow and looks good pre-SEC it may be best to move Ginn to Sunday even.
Nah. Just discussing baseball and throwing ideas out there that may make us better. I thought MacLeoud would look good and he did. Some guys have stepped up in the bullpen like Chase Patrick, Jaxen Forrester, and Riley Self looked good. All of that is encouraging to me. We haven't thrown Jack Eagan yet and I think he is going to be good and I think Spencer Price may surprise this year as well and he hasn't thrown yet.
The reality of SEC baseball is if your Friday night guy is only giving you 4-5 IP you're going to have to rely on your bullpen a lot. We're probably better off with MacLeoud giving us 6-7 IP every Friday than Ginn giving us 4-5. There is a much smaller margin for error on Friday night in the SEC because of the caliber of pitcher you are normally facing. We'll have it figured out by SEC play. Really the only question mark to me right now is how Cerentola is going to do. I have a feeling the light bulb hasn't completely come on yet for him though.
I'll be interested to see if Lemonis actually moves Ginn out of the Friday spot if we lose some Friday games and MacLeoud keeps pitching like he did today.
It's early, I think the plan is set and will be carried out, Ginn should get stronger as the starts for him mount, no need to change right now. Lemonis and staff have discussed this long hours and one game start or two want change things. I see nothing wrong with how they are handling this situation. He is our most experienced starter, no need to change or even thing of changing yet.
