Miss State #3
Futrell throwing batting practice right now. Just got a big K on the by-far best pitch he's thrown yet. Struggling to find the strike zone, and when he does he's been putting beach balls over the heart of the plate. But he gets out of it giving up only one run. Coulda been, maybe shoulda been much worse.

Re: Miss State #3
State's black jerseys are awful. Maroon lettering outlined in white with huge numbers with a goofy font. Names in white in giant lettering. Gotta wonder who designed or approved those monstrosities.
Re: Miss State #3
Futrell gives up a couple more hits, but a perfect infield shift leads to the easiest 6-3 DP you'll ever see. 2-1 Dores heading to 3rd.
Re: Miss State #3
Diaz crushed a fastball deep to LF. It was sweet, because he took 3 fastball strikes in a looking K in the 1st, and another for strike 1 in the HR at bat. I suspect the pitcher got a bit over-confident in the pitch...5th time he threw it he paid the price. 4-1 Vandy.
Re: Miss State #3
Only needed 6 pitches to get 3 easy outs. He's scuffled (yeah, I know), but he's only thrown 31 pitches thru 3 innings and is getting stronger.

This series could be child abuse case.

They are promoting Mississippi tourism on the live video stream. Vandy sure is enjoying its trip to MS.

Re: Miss State #3
Diaz' 2nd HR was a slider that the pitcher set on a tee in the middle of the plate. Good hitters crush mistakes.

Re: Miss State #3
Futrell not at his best today. Grooved a 3-2 fastball that a State hitter pounced on, long HR to right. Another batting practice fastball leads to a 2nd Bulldog HR. Good hitters jump on mistakes. Brownie out to talk...

Re: Miss State #3
State SS is not very good. I know, an understatement if ever there was one, though he did start the 5th inning-ending 6-4-3 DP on a sharp one-hopper hit right at him.
Re: Miss State #3
Wow, did Cunningham get squeezed on what absolutely looked like an inning-ending strike 3. Count now full and runner stole 2nd.
Re: Miss State #3
Gotta reiterate what I said yesterday...State's TV production is really bad. They never...NEVER... show the play live as it happens. They're always 3-4 seconds behind the action and the replays they show aren't much better. Makes you appreciate Vandy's and other schools' TV work so much more.

Re: Miss State #3
"Vanderbilt exploding cutlery." Best line of the weekend. These State announcers have been good thru all 3 games.
