Hogs vs Ole Miss—-Baseball

[BASS]

Peaking?

I've watched every game and thought, "My God, when we start playing up to our potential we will be unstoppable."

We have guys that are still working through injury.  Guys that are still trying to find their groove.   We still have a lot of upside.   

This has been my take on the season as well

What's the O/U on how many hitters Tigart will plunk today?

[Too Big Pig]

General baseball question. Are Hog Pen seats available? I looked on StubHub and they were $75 each for the cheapest. Is that accurate?

[Feral]

What's the O/U on how many hitters Tigart will plunk today?

He's already hit 10 batters and only pitched in 7 games.

So the safe O/U is 1.5, and I'm taking the over today since he'll probably be pressing against a home state school.

Honestly, if he has a shaky start today and/or continues to have trouble finding his spots, he's likely headed back to the pen. We still haven't had a rubber match this season, and I'm not sure anyone would feel confident right now with him on the bump in a series-deciding game.

I'm not going to be consistently available for PBP today.

The news isn't so good today for America's Team.  Cy Young favorite Spencer Strider left last night's game with elbow discomfort.  Today a MRI revealed damage to Strider's UCL (Tommy John ligament).  Spencer will see a specialist this week to discuss treatment options.
