[msstate7]

He was what 87-90 last season? That's one hell of a jump. I'll believe 96 when I see it

 

[RightOfCenter]

Remind me of the details of how he got suspended, besides just a failed drug test.

Cocaine’s a hell of a drug.

He hit 94 at MSU last year, and now he's hitting 96 according to his summer league team, I honestly didn't remember him throwing that fast either.

He hit 94 more than once at Northwest.I'm glad that he got his issues worked out.He has some talent and is a very well liked kid on the team.

I remember him being 3-4 mph faster than normal at the USM regional and found it strange.

Great news. It's like we just added a blue chip signee.

 

[8dog]

Cant believe we sent a guy who
failed a drug test to amsterdam

Great news. It's like we just added a blue chip signee.

Pump the brakes.

 

[philduckworth]

Pump the brakes.

Why? If you were rating our signees, he would be rated higher than every Juco pitcher we signed.

I guess my memory is playing tricks on me. I don't remember that kind of velocity

I remember him hitting 91-92. He had the 4th best ERA on our team, better than Billingsley and Cole Gordon.

Gene has been known to inflate velos.

Remind me of the details of how he got suspended, besides just a failed drug test.

I assume it was an NCAA administered drug test which is a 1 year minimum.

 

[Dawgcap]

How is this a bad thing? If he stays clean and does his job, what’s the problem? At 20-21 young men can improve personally and as athletes. Explain the problem cause I don’t get it

 

[dickiedawg]

Who said it’s a bad thing?

 

[Len2003]

I think it’s a good thing. Everyone deserves a second chance. He’s apparently served his suspension and hopefully learned something in the process. Lord knows we need some pitching. If he can perform and wants to put in the work, by all means give him a second chance.

 

[Dawgcap]

My bad. I took it that way when there were a couple drug references.

 

[Hankp22]

I think it is great news

If he comes back focused, he has weekend potential. I know our staff has a lot of unknowns, but it has potential to be very good. Plumlee can contribute in a big way next year.

I wish we played tomorrow.

 

[NWADawg]

Can a suspension year be used as a redshirt year?

 

[Mayor of Little London]

I’m plum tickled about this development!

 

[HamSammich]

I have a coworker who graduated high school with Peyton’s dad. Glad to hear he’s back on the team. Says a lot about someone when they can come back from something like this.

I assume it was an NCAA administered drug test which is a 1 year minimum.

I'm assuming the NCAA policy only applies to PEDS? Can't imagine football and basketball wouldn't be decimated each year if there was a mandatory 1 year suspension for testing positive for recreational drugs.

I dont remember much about Plumlee is he more of a starter or a reliever?

 

[msstate7]

I dont remember much about Plumlee is he more of a starter or a reliever?

My guess is Sunday or midweek starter. Here's the categories I like to look at from his 2017 stats...
Hits/9 = 8.64
K/9 = 6.57
BB/9 = 3.77
K -BB = 1.74

I'd like to see these numbers more like...
H9 = fine with 2017
K9 = 7.3 - 7.6
BB9 = 2.8 - 3.0
K -BB = 2.5+

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

.....and is a very well liked kid on the team.

Ha I am sure he is...

 

[kphall11]

He started a few midweeks I think but was mostly used as a long reliever last year like Gordon in the postseason this year.

 

[8dog]

He will be a weekend starter unless stewart turns down $4 mill

 

[HotMop]

2017: Collected his first MSU win in his first appearance on Feb. 18 vs. WIU • Threw eight shutout innings in second win against Indiana State on Feb. 25 • Earned his third quality start against Tennessee March 25, allowing no earned runs while striking out six over six innings pitched • Tossed 2.0 innings of one-hit relief to earn fourth win April 8 against Kentucky • Fanned five batters over 2.2 innings of shutout relief against Mississippi Valley State April 11 • Pitched 3.1 innings of shutout relief April 21 against Alabama to earn his fifth win • In the SEC Tournament on May 25, Shutout Arkansas through 4.0 innings of relief to allow MSU to earn its 22nd comeback win, while he collected his sixth win • Allowed just one hit over four scoreless innings in Regional play vs. Sout Alabama June 4, as he earned his first career save.

 

[HotMop]

So it looks like he started off as a Starter then settled in as a reliever.
