    Yeah, he did not bring his last UVA Pitching Coach to Starkville
    I'm sure if there are issues with the rotation we will make adjustments as we need to.

    If you believe the rumors we were getting Muscara to be our pitching coach but then Duke needed a head coach in part because Virginia took Pollard, who went there because we took BOC.

    I'm glad we kept Parker though. I don't think there was a better option given the circumstances.

    To me, Lemonis had the lineup almost too settled in pre-SEC play and then he would make changes too late.

    Gehrig Frei and Joe Powell were good examples last year.

    To your point though the pitching staff felt like no one really had a defined role other than Pico and maybe Ligon. Of course after awhile Siary had a role.

    No. He's OK at pitching. We have better options on the mound.

    Very simply, no. He’s not even close to the talent we have in the others on the staff. We will only be as good as the Soph pitchers can be this season. We will hit, but the season rest solely on the young arms.

    He was the best midweek pitcher last year. When Pruitt and Black busted, Sullivan performed in ball games that saved innings for the weekend staff. 1.96 ERA and he was clean 15 k to 3 walks.

    And he will be midweek again. There is simply too much talent ahead of him for weekends unless its a 1 inning sit

    I live out here so I'll definitely be there.

    I'd suggest staying closer to Dallas or Ft Worth and Ubering to the stadium. Outside of Texas Live, there's not much to do out there and it's an easy Uber to the stadium from Ft Worth or Dallas, probably 20 minutes and will run you about $35 dollars.

    Not flying out of MS, but heck yeah- I have 4 going. Wouldn't miss it this time around. More excited about this team, and program as a whole, than I have been in a while including '21. Excited to see the other teams there just as much. I will not be missing a game. Can't wait. Should be high level baseball all the way around.

    Tennessee is going to be interesting. I think they take a big step back.

    I don't think it'll be an A&M sized step back because I think Elander is MILES better than Earley. But I do think Tennessee will take a small step back. I think they'll probably host a regional but not as a top 8.

    Flying from Colorado direct flight to DFW makes it easy. I wish MSU played some California games. I get super easy flights to LA and SD.
