Not the way to start the game as a pitcher

Why do our pitchers seem to struggle a little extra in the 1st inning compared to our competitors? Is it warm up issues, nerves?

Got home late and was trying to figure out how we gave up 4 with only 1 walk and 2 singles. Finally saw 2 HBP.

Honestly not sure there’s anything our pitchers don’t struggle with a little more than the competition

I need to look for a good stats page to confirm but it just seems like we dig a hole every 1st inning.

Cijntje was nervous in the first. He’s 18 and cold. In the fifth, we led 5-4 and he’s given up two hits. He has stuck to the right hand since the first.

Interesting. Haven't paid attention to which side he's pitching from. Other than the 5 walks and 2 hit batters he's kept us in the game.

Thats really impressive from Loo. I’m sure the worst conditions he has ever pitched in. Clearly wasn’t comfortable from the left. And battled with a very tight zone.

There might be 50 fans there. So pathetic for an SEC school. My juco (PRCC) has more fans than that.
Just heard a strikeout while not paying attention and the crowd went nuts. It was us getting the strikeout so I'm guessing 30/50 are MSU fans.

Once again we give up more runs than we do hits. Strand 13 runners and lose the game on a wild pitch.

That game is on the lineup. They were awful tonight against the worst sec team we will play. Kentucky got the 2 out hit when they needed it. We struck out and rolled over pitches. Just an awful loss when you consider we used our two best pitchers.
Gonna be a harsh reality when we face the top end arms and good line ups.
