“That was honestly one of the coolest moments of my career,” said Llinas. “Because this is one of the coolest places to play in baseball. Fifteen, sixteen thousand people in an away crowd. It was a surreal moment.”

His coach requested to add on to his pitcher's answer.

"That’s what makes this place so special,” added Forehand. “All that stuff that goes on in the outfield, to recognize that this kid pitched a great game and held a really good offense down for six innings, for a sold-out crowd to give a standing ovation to the other team, that’s so cool, so special. I hate that we didn’t win the game. But for an old guy who has been around the game a long time, this is what this game is all about.”

Lady dawgs with absolute grit today against the standard of softball. Celebrate for a little bit, but the job is not done yet.

Bye week activities…

So thankful I play for a coach who is way more than a coach. He’s a friend and a mentor. Now he’s also an officiant😂.

Hug your kids tonight and tomorrow morning wake up more committed than you have ever been in your life to speak truth and defend free speech from those who are willing to kill to stop ideas they don’t like. Evil is real, we must beat it:

Ten games into my senior year at Mississippi State — about a month into the season — and I still hadn’t pitched. The previous year, I logged only 4 innings. I spent the entire fall and most of the spring preseason dealing with an injury, and quiet frankly walking on thin ice on even staying on the team, if you’re not able to be productive in any way you’re gone, that’s how the SEC works, & I knew everything would have to go perfectly for me to even have a shot.

This is something young players at any level should pay attention to: what to do when you’re not playing much — and how to handle it.

During that time, I worked relentlessly. Every day, I prepared like my opportunity was coming tomorrow. I knew that when my name was called, I needed to be ready — not just ready to pitch, but ready to prove I belonged in the SEC.

Then it happened. We were up 19–2 at Tulane in the 9th inning. They told me to get hot. I treated it like Game 7 of the World Series. I went out there, went 3 up, 3 down, 3 strikeouts. My stuff was sharp.

After the game, Coach made a comment in the team meeting about how locked in I looked. He noticed. And that was all I needed.

Fast forward 24 hours — we’re in a 4–4 game in the 7th, bases loaded, two outs. He puts me in. Surprised? Maybe others were. I wasn’t. I had been preparing for this moment for two years.

I got to a 1-2 count and I got a flyout to right. From that point on, I went on to lead the team in ERA and appearances out of the bullpen. It became the best season of my career.

The takeaway: always be ready. You don’t know when your shot will come. But when it does, you can’t afford to be surprised. You’ve got to be prepared — mentally, physically, emotionally — like it’s the opportunity you’ve been waiting your whole life for.

If I hadn’t been locked in during that 19–2 game and shown Coach what it meant to me, I may have never gotten another chance.

Make the most of yours. If you’re not there yet, don’t give up. Keep showing up. Stay ready. Your moment’s coming. I’ll attach a few clips of the game that changed my career.

State only scored 20 on Missouri in football this past November.
