An interview with the current hits leader at Mississippi State, Jeffrey Rea.
Brett and Matt met and recorded the podcast at Jubilations Cheesecake (@jubilationsinc) in West Point, MS. They take a look at where State is statistically, and preview the upcoming series vs LSU.
Jake Mangum is on fire at the plate, with multiple hits in 5 of the last 6 games, 7 of the last 10, and in 13 of the team's 22 games to start the season. Auburn comes to town this weekend to try and challenge Mangum and the rest of State's lineup. Brett and Matt look back at last week, and preview the Auburn series.
State is off to a great start to the 2019 season, ranked in the top-5 and only one loss, but the stakes are about to raise. The SEC season is always difficult, and State get's a true test right out of the gates, visiting #7 Florida.
Brett Hudson gets you caught up on the latest results for MSU baseball, then dives into an interview with former Bulldog pitcher Ross Mitchell, who's now a color analyst for State broadcasts on the radio.
Peyton Plumlee has impressed, and one could see a scenario where he challenges for the Sunday starting role... but is the plan to have him - the team's third best pitcher - on the mound for the important mid-week games, like the upcoming matchup with ECU? Brett and Matt discuss that and more on this week's DOGPILE.
Opening week brought its share of festivities - Thunder & Lightning statues, Ron Polk Ring of Honor - and it also brought its share of fireworks as State outscored its opponents 39-7 during their 4-0 start. State pitching struck out 43 batters against Youngstown State, while walking just 5 in the three-game series. A close one with UAB (3-2, win) in the midweek might be what Mississippi State needed with Southern Miss coming to town for a weekend series.
Brett Hudson takes you through a position-by-position breakdown of Mississippi State's team, and who figures to compete for playing time in the early part of the season.
Spencer Price figured to play a significant role on last year's team, but an arm injury which lead to surgery cut that short. Price returns to the mound in 2019 and is ready to go.
"Dogpile" is hosted by Matt Wyatt and Brett Hudson, and focuses on Mississippi State baseball.
