EagsBy10: Will USM ever get their bats going? Concerned going into the Indiana state series this weekend.
Kendall Rogers: I think if we’re sitting here a month, or two months, and Carson Paetow, Nick Monistere and Slade Wilks are all hitting .250 or below, I’d be the most surprised person in college baseball. Will USM turn into an offensive juggernaut? Probably not — but man, those three will get it going at some point. That will be a tough matchup going against ISU, which has been stellar on the bump with Jacob Pruitt and others leading the way.
Oxford Bald Eagle: What’s up boys. Been with y’all 7 years now. Live in LSU country, born and went to school in H’burg, work for a company outta Starkville, have a house in Oxford…I’ll be sending my resume. Anyhow, deepest pitching staff Southern Miss has ever had. We usually have 3-4 guys with “stuff” and a bunch of guys who can pitch. We are running out electricity every inning from the pen, starters are solid and Armistead is the best Sunday guy in the country. Can we hit enough to go to Nebraska?
Aaron Fitt: Hello sir, thank you for being a long-time reader! You sure do have some connections to some awesome college baseball hot beds. Anyway — totally agree that Southern Miss has a real pitching staff this year. I saw a bunch of those arms in the fall, and it was clear that this staff would be much, much deeper than last year’s — it just didn’t have Tanner Hall, but I was hopeful that Niko Mazza would be able to handle that Friday starter role, because he’s always had great stuff and he has continued to mature. Looks like he is doing his part so far. I agree with Kendall above — probably not going to be an offensive juggernaut, but I think the offense should be good enough to make Southerm Miss very dangerous behind that pitching staff. Absolutely capable of making an Omaha run if they peak at the right time, because they have the mound talent, and as I said earlier, high-end pitching is a separator.
