Welcome in to My Dog's Barclan on MPW Digital, presented by Heath Riles Barbecue.

I got some seasoned right to my right.

And I always do.

I'm thankful to be back with you guys.

I took vacation last week, went down to the beach and enjoyed some time down there with the fam,

but got to see some good college baseball throughout the week.

Today, as we get back into it, it's kind of a transitional phase because we're going into

the second half of June, which is crazy to think about.

But as we go into the second half of June and into July, you got SEC Media Days, you got a lot

more topics that relate to football.

And it's going to be a lot more football heavy, but we thought we would do at least one more,

and might not be the last one, but likely is when it comes to kind of an autopsy of what happened to Mississippi State baseball.

What can we look at what ultimately ended their season and what are the

takeaways from this season and really just kind of how it ended. And then going into next

year, I think, I think there's a lot of positive momentum. And while there are some, you know,

things you wish you had back and things you wish you had different, I think looking at the

full picture what this

team became, I mean, there's so much talk in between of like, okay, maybe this team will do this. Well, if in order to get to this point, they're going to have to fix the pitching. In order to this point, you know, they're going to have to figure out the shortstop position. And in the end, like whenever you finally came down to it, we're going to talk today about what actually happened in Brian O'Connor's first season there in Starkville.

So thank you so much for giving us some of your time, whether you are on the way to work.

You're listening to us in the car, in the gym, wherever you are.

Thank you so much for making us, allowing us just to be part of your day.

Really do appreciate that. Before we get into everything, get kicked off with it.
