Is Mississippi State the biggest what if from the College Baseball Showdown. They did not throw their #2 and #3 starters and still won 2 games. Should have won all three.

Is it surprising that most of the #1 pitchers on all 6 staffs looked underwhelming? TCU's #2 pitcher, Russell Smith and Ole Miss's #3 Derek Diamond, looked to be the 2 best pitchers in the Arlington tournament.

Oregon State had a good all around weekend defensively and with the bats. The pitching looks pretty elite as well. A couple uncharacteristic errors prevented them from going 4-0 on the weekend. What is your take on the Beavs and were they in the conversation of entering the top 25, and far out are they from entering?

What is your assessment of Arkansas pitching? Saturday versus Texas Tech was rough, but then they rebounded by two hitting Texas and TCU. We didn't even see Connor Noland or Patrick Wicklander at all this past weekend.

LSU came back against AF on Sunday only to lose it in the Top of the 9th. Rather than going with Fontenot or leaving in the veteran, Veitmeier, PM went with his freshman Floyd to start the 9th. We all know what happened after that. How do you weigh giving a freshman in-game experience early in a season and possibly losing over going with the veteran pitcher and, most likely, a better chance at winning?

I’m sure that this will be asked multiple times, but in the event that it isn’t, why do y’all have Ole Miss as the #1 team over Arkansas? I’m just looking for some insight on the thought process there since they both swept the same three teams. Thanks for all of the work that y’all do for this sport!

This Weekend the Razorbacks had two outstanding pitching performances and 1 subpar game. All of that was without both Conner Noland and Patrick Wicklander(weekend starters the last two seasons). Did other pitchers develop that much more or did I miss something y’all may know?

Great coverage of the weekend tournament in Fort Worth, and great baseball! Curious as to your thoughts on MSU pitching given they were without 2 of 3 weekend starters, and, according to Lemonis, were without 5 of their top 12 pitchers. Thanks, and keep up the great work.

Week 1 comes with reactions and overreactions. As a MS State fan, the 14 walks Monday to go with the 7 on Sunday are a bit concerning but when you’re missing two starters I suppose these things can happen. How good do you believe Bednar and Cerentola to be? Also across the state, Diamond for Ole Miss was electric! Gonna be a lot of great baseball down in the Magnolia State this year.

Yes its only 3 games into the season, but you cant come out and play that poor at home. That is simply unacceptable for an SEC team vs Big East basketball school. The A&M brass needs to move on from Rob Childress he is clearly not the coach to move the Aggies into the upper tier of the SEC and College baseball on a year to year basis. He is also getting out coached and recruited by in state rivals, Texas, TCU, Texas Tech and Sam Houston regularly.

How impressed were you by Miami's pitching (both starters and the Pen)? We all know they can hit with the Del Castillo's, Toral, Morales, etc. but the pitching seemed to be the key in the series and they out pitched a tremendous Florida staff.

Arkansas obviously had a lot of Ks by their pitchers, but we also struck our fair share. I also seen others teams striking out early and often. Is college ball getting to the point of power and strikeouts, while contact seems to be getting less. Or is it a product of superb pitching just winning the battles? Seemed there was a LOT of swing and misses

The amount of strikeouts seem alarming to me. Hog staff had 35 in last two games vs TX and TCU. But, we also had our fair share, as well as other teams. Is pitching gotten that much better, or are teams in college focused more on power than contact compared to years ago?

What will it take for Georgetown baseball to be approved to play this year? The players haven't had a single practice together while the rest of the Big East has had dozens. Basketball has been playing for months while other spring sports like soccer and lacrosse have already played their first games.

The Gamecocks showed a lot of encouraging signs in the opening series sweep. Wes Clarke was a force to be reckoned with and had a lot of protection behind him. Will learn a lot more this weekend, but can this line up make some noise in the SEC?

Optimistic Tech fan here. Yeah, we sucked. But it gives me hope that despite being pretty lousy all the way around, we were: Leading Arky going to the 9th, Had a bases loaded opp in the 9th vs OM, and was down only one run to State heading to the 9th. Got 3 or 4 months to right the ship. In Tadlock I trust!

Incredibly tough weekend for Texas, but can't deny that a.) those were three omaha-caliber teams they faced, b.) Texas was coming off a horrendous storm that eliminated a week of practice, and c.) there's guys on the team that have been in this lineup before, so maybe they can adjust and turn around the hitting woes. However, Big 12 could be strong and Texas's remaining non-con is no creampuff. Is it too early to hit the panic button for the Longhorns?
