So who starts Tuesday?
Pruitt looked shaky in one inning on Friday. Black mysteriously did not pitch this weekend. Gotta think it?s probably one of those two. What yal think?
-
I'd be surprised if Black starts. Unless they use him as an opener. Would be weird.
I think they will likely start Pruitt. Could be Foster or Grant though. Going to be a bullpen game regardless.
Maybe JT Schnoor if he made the roster.

I can't see grant starting. He's gonna be a pen guy this year. Foster maybe. Gonna see lots of arms Tuesday though no matter who

Black is my thought.
Pruitt looked shaky but maybe just first game jitters. Even if his role is long relief, that's still a key role. This is just the very beginning. Even Stone Simmons had a non-crisp first inning. Had two-on and then picked a dude off.

That would be a good choice. Veteran who has done it before.

I don't see too much difference between Foster and Grant honestly. To me, the biggest difference is Grant is a little bit older and has been with the program a little longer and with freshmen out of high school I worry about them hitting a wall at some point during the season if they are a pitcher due to the adjustment from high school to college plus the length of the season being a little longer than most high schools.
We'll see how it plays out this year though as this team evolves.

Pruitt was also coming out of the bullpen and he typically has been a starter. I would not be surprised if he is better in a starting role.

I think it'll be Pruitt or Siary. I doubt they start Foster as a true freshman in a sold out hostile environment that'll be his first ever collegiate road game.

If it was a normal mid week game against [insert directional or SWAC school], then you could start a Freshman or a guy who has never started. Due to it being USM and any time they play us or OM it's their Super Bowl, you need to start someone with some experience. My guess is that it's Pruitt. I think that's why we held him off from starting this weekend and went with Stone.

Last year, started Ligon and he was ripped for 4 runs in a single inning of work.
Over the next 8 innings, they got 0 runs on 3 hits from Nolan Stevens, Siary, Hardin, Davis, and Auger.
Siary and Stevens did well. Ligon was not ready at that moment. USM was tee-ing off him. I think you use an array of dudes. Siary, Black, Hungate, Pruett, Fortenberry, Schnoor.
Only had 14 innings on Friday. Everyone but starters should be ready to go.

Siary throws strikes. Problem is, some of those end up going out of the park.

In the past we would usually leave him in too long. He's the guy that eats innings.

Make them earn it. Maybe I have PTSD from all the free passes that was under Foxhall and should not expect that under Parker but I like to seeing pitchers attack the zone.

It will be Charlie Foster.

my man Charlie. Good choice

I bet he’s nervous. Risky going with a true fresh but I’m excited for him.

Hmmm. Not sure about this but I do not get paid for these decisions. Time to get it on.

Should be alright. Many guys that have the ability seem to have it from day one. Siary started at LSU as a Freshman, did alright. Many times MSU has pitched freshmen even bigger roles. Konor Pilkington, JT Ginn, and Chris George were Starters on top MSU teams. Cijntje was a Starter. Fristoe. Cade Smith.
Other teams: Florida won a NC with a Freshman in Omaha. Hunter Elliott (who pitched and won this weekend versus) was the OM Saturday in 2022. Kevin Able for Oregon State in 2018.
