Heres what I could find on opening day. Posted it in the other thread, but probably best to post here.
Bianco announced that Golsan and Feigl have been elected team captains.
Pitching
“Friday we’ll start off with Ryan Rolison on the mound for us,” Bianco said. “Saturday Brady Feigl, and Sunday James McArthur. And it’s no secret that Dallas Woolfolk will be our closer.”
Outfield
Thomas Dillard will start in left field.
Senior Will Golsan will move to center field.
Junior Ryan Olenek, who played center field for the Rebels in 2017, will move to right field
Infield
At third base, it looks as if freshmen Tim Elko and Tyler Keenan will split time, at least initially.
Grae Kessinger returns at shortstop for the Rebels after starting 53 games there last season.
As for second baseman, Bianco was non-committal as to who the opening day starter would be, suggesting either Jacob Adams or Anthony Servideo would be there on opening day
Junior returner Nick Fortes will be the first baseman on Friday when the season begins, with sophomore Cole Zabowski also sharing time at first
Sophomore Cooper Johnson, who was charged with only two errors in 391 attempts last year, will start behind the plate for Ole Miss.
DH
Senior Tim Rowe (.405 slugging) and junior Chase Cockrell will provide a right-handed, left-handed combination with a lot of power.
Lineup
Bianco didn’t offer too much insight into the batting order for opening day, but he did discuss the leadoff hitter.
“Leadoff is the tough one.I think there’s a good chance that one of those second basemen, maybe Servideo or Adams leads off opening day, but we’ll have to play with it,” he said. “Some of those other guys that run well probably aren’t your prototypical leadoff guys, like Olenek and Golsan. They’re good hitters, but I think Servideo and Adams did that for us, and I think they’re ready for that position.”

I think we might have a serious rotation this season. Hopefully we don't get lit up in non-conference so I can see this theory through haha. If nothing else, we've got some experienced arms, and hopefully the kids will have figured out how to put the ball on the bat

Pitching lookin good

SHOWERS!!!
ETA: Rolo has 10 strikeouts on 70 pitches, so every 7th pitch is averaging out as a third strike. Masterful stuff
12 strikeouts on 81 pitches B5!!! Pulled him, but he was straight dealing. Averaged a strikeout every 6.75 pitches. Just wow

I’m not going to draw many conclusions from this game but it’s a solid start. I was glad to see some of the sophomores swinging the bats better. Cooper Johnson and Thomas Dillard did some good things at the plate.

Will we be able to get the game in tomorrow?

The entire series is ESPN3/SECN+ if nothing else. I was able to use the basic web browsing app on a smart tv to watch today, and otherwise the ESPN app is probably the best way to go. The audio can be streamed for free through TuneIn.
Luckily ESPN now supports most cable providers in the South (by default because of the SECN), but I don't understand why there are SECN+ channels built in for a lot of cable providers (I've had it on Xfinity and Uverse, and seen it on others), but they're always off the air. It just makes sense to use those additional channels that are otherwise dead air to broadcast whatever live SEC sporting event is going on closest to where the TV account is registered/located. It'd be fantastic for baseball season where there are full weekend slates + a game or two midweek for every program in the conference

Feigl had been so efficient until the 6th. Probably about to get run off the mound

MacArthur was very inconsistent but the strike zone was tiny.
