We need to set the tone for the weekend with a Game 1 victory. Are we in any danger of a rain out today?

Starkville is pretty much on the southern edge of all the rain. There is plenty from there to Memphis and a bit beyond, stretching SW and NE all the way through Nashville. 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.

It's still raining. Not hard, but raining at present

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.

Pushed to 2:30. I will be impressed if we get in a full game today.

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 Skelton

Rains moving in a NNE motion... will clear out from the SW shortly and be a couple hours before the next line that is Greenwood right now can make it over to Starkville.

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

Bingo. We need the bats to light it up for a quick 5-0 lead and hold it, so if the rain comes, boom get the W.

Pitches have been thrown. 0-0 with a 2-1 count 0 outs

[PMDawg]

a 4 pitch inning for our batters. smh.

[chef dixon]

That was one of the most pathetic half innings of baseball I can remember

[PMDawg]

meanwhile, Small falling behind in the count on, I believe, 3 out of 4 batters now. That's dangerous.
