Big baseball day tommorrow

[Todd4State]

If you are tired of watching guys look at third strikes, well you have a couple of options for a day.

You've got the M-Braves starting tommorrow, and they will be pitching Mike Minor, who is now maybe the A-Braves top prospect and first round pick from last year. He may not be in Pearl for long, so he needs to get his bass boat now. Also, they've got fireworks! Minor pitched at Vandy last year.

Then you've got the Sumrall/Oak Grove HS baseball game in Oak Grove in what is probably the most anticipated HS baseball game that I have seen as far as Mississippi goes. Sumrall has Chase Luwallen at SS, a MSU signee and Oak Grove has Jamie McMahon, a MSU signee at 3B. McMahon will pitch for us, so if he sucks in the field or at the plate, don't get too upset. I dount McMahon pitches in this game because he went 7 against Meridian the other night.

Also for Sumrall, if they pitch Luke Lowrey, he is one of the top pitching prospects in Mississippi as a junior. He is a control guy kind of like Girodo/Pigott. Sumrall also has Austin Carter in CF and Conner Barron at 2B, and they are also potential prospects for next year. Finally, Sumrall has Jackson Posey who MSU is recruiting at 3B, but if he qualifies academically, look for him to go to USM. Posey will be a 1B/OF guy in college.

Liked what we saw out of Zito, can he finally come around?

That's really all the Giants needed were some people that could hit.

They have the pitching. Lincecum is the best in baseball right now in my opinion. Cain is pretty good. Sanchez is their third guy and he threw a no-hitter last year. Then they have Zito and Madison Baumgartner is a pretty good prospect who I thnk will be up at some point. They also have Brandon Medders, who pitched for MSU, in the bullpen and Brian Wilson is a pretty solid closer.

They've got a good mix of veterans like Molina, Huff, DeRosa, Rowand, and Renteria, and then they have a couple of young guys like Sandoval and then Buster Posey is a pretty good prospect that also will probably be called up before long. They may need another outfielder, but that's really about it. It's a real solid team that I think will surprise a lot of people.

Coach Larry Knight is a fantastic person, and a GREAT pitching coach. I wish he would get his shot at the collegiate level.
