- 0:00When you look at Mississippi State, and I don't know, I mean,
- 0:05is it fair to say that the room for Era is much shorter for Crystal
- 0:09Monas at this point? I think so. I think people know that he's
- 0:14a really good baseball coach and the players love playing for him. It was
- 0:20just a rough It was just a rough go the last the last few years.
- 0:24And it's not because there's not any talent on that coaching staff, because
- 0:29it's a very talented staff. Their problem right now is not pitching. They
- 0:35had a two point three three e RA and that was their problem a year
- 0:38ago and that's why coach fox Hall got let go. But their problem this
- 0:43year has not been pitching. It's just been they're not getting more production out
- 0:50of one through nine in the order. It's really one through four. And
- 0:53again we're talking about a three game span so far early in the season,
- 0:58so small samples, not a lot to go on, so they'll get I
- 1:02mean, you would think if you're Missippi State, Austin p two ball games
- 1:06coming up this midweek, Georgia Southern on a three game set, Jackson State.
- 1:11I mean that's six ball games they really should run through. Then Mount
- 1:15Saint Mary's on a three game set and start Well Southern Miss here in town,
- 1:21Trustmark Park, Evansville on a three game set, and then they'll go
- 1:23play the Hancock Whitney Classic against South Alabama New Orleans before LSU. So I
- 1:29mean, theoretically, they should be favored in every ball game all the way
- 1:34through until the SEC, and I would think that they need to show show
- 1:38that, yeah, you got to win the majority of those games, and
- 1:42inevitably all good teams drop games to people that they shouldn't and you know,
- 1:49it could be a let down, it could be looking forward to the SEC
- 1:52season. But right now you've got a lot of guys on these rosters who
- 1:55are fighting for playing time. They're trying to prove themselves and let these coaching
- 2:00staffs know that they could fill in and they could get it done. And
- 2:05there's a lot of mixing and matching. I believe once all three of the
- 2:08n State schools stayed Old Miss Southern Miss. When they get their main nine
- 2:13guys that are going to be their lineup pretty much every single time they roll
- 2:16out there, there's going to be a lot more cohesiveness and you'll see a
- 2:20lot better production out of all three,
