    UAB starting Doug Ashcraft

    A former MSU pitcher. I wish we could have kept him. He struck out five batters in two IP this weekend for UAB.

    Peyton Plumlee better be on his A game.

    Did we lose him or was he processed?

    It’s Graham Ashcraft. He had control issues and I think was pretty much processed.

    He had two consecutive hip injuries. Dude threw flames in high school but couldn't stay healthy here.

    Either way, it rained 4 inches yesterday and is set for more rain today. It would be interesting if we can actually get a game in today.

    He was 92-95 two falls ago. Not sure what the two hip injuries did to him though

    Plumlee is only going to throw 3 innings, 4 innings max. then we will work through our bullpen. all of our top guys will pitch 1 inning except for our 3 weekend starters.

    The hourly forecast shows the rain getting out of Starkville prior to 4pm but if they play, it will definitely be a test of the drainage system.

    I've also talked to a few folks on the team that mentioned he wasn't very well liked in the clubhouse, which may have been a factor in him getting processed.

    These type games are where our deep bullpen is gonna pay huge dividends.

    If he's able to throw strikes he could be tough. He had really good stuff.

    Yeah, pretty much. He was offered to stay, but his scholly was pulled. I think he had a pretty big scholly too.

    He certainly wasn't a twelfth round pick for no reason, we better come to play.

    I heard a lot about MacLeod in the fall and spring, but he didn't pitch at all last weekend. I expected that meant he would start today, but that's not the case. What's going on there?

    Aschraft is a big prospect but for us, people hit for good average against him.

    All his summer ball stats were pretty brutal also.

    He did not pitch in the Cape either, he was being tagged by D2 and D3 kids at some 3rd tier summer league.

    But the MSSTATE thing to happen is for him to pull a Damien Gardner and pitch great.
