Summary
Mississippi State dropped a pair of midweek games that hurt their post season stock. The men's side has a little more margin for error, but the women need to sweep the final two home games to put themselves in a position to be considered for the Big Dance.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Boneyard with Steve Robertson. As always, I am your good friend and host, Steve Robertson here on the Maroon Friday edition of the yard. Hope you're celebrating Maroon Friday today. It is also the first day of college baseball season. We are a baseball school. Some people struggle to admit that. They don't like it. Say say, Steve, you know, I don't get it. |
| 0:27.5 | Bottom line is we are a baseball school. We're a baseball crazy fan base that has set every on-campus attendance record there is. That's not by accident. It's not to say that we don't love everything |
| 0:33.2 | else. We do. We've had a lot of success in college baseball over the years. The program began in 1885. We were the very first |
| 0:40.9 | college baseball program in the state of Mississippi. And we remain supreme. Shall our reign live forever? |
| 0:51.2 | We'll be taking on Virginia Military Institute today. Share with you guys on Wednesday show that that's an experienced team. |

| 1:00.3 | So we'll see how it goes. |
| 1:01.7 | I expect that we'll see a lot of pitching for both teams this weekend. |

| 1:18.1 | So you've got some experience, guys. That's not to say that this is going to be the rotation |
| 1:22.1 | the rest of the year. You people forget in 2021, we didn't have Sarantola. We didn't have Will Bednar on opening weekend. |
| 1:30.3 | We went out there and played in the Globe Life tournament. |
| 1:33.3 | And then by the time we got to LSU, after LSU, |
| 1:37.3 | Sarantola didn't throw a meaningful pitch the rest of the year. |
| 1:40.3 | So a lot can change. |
| 1:42.3 | My hope is this is the rotation of the entire year because they go out |
| 1:46.3 | and they prove to be effective. Wouldn't that be great? Because the season kind of hangs in the |
| 1:52.9 | balance on the quality of pitching that we're going to get. You know, talking to some people around |
| 1:57.8 | the program, we feel like the back end of the bullpen is going to be |
| 2:01.6 | really strong. We just got to find a way to cover these first six innings. And that sounds easier |
