Last week I told you I would be around to update the series thread and that ended up not being true, but this week, other than me working outside and running, I’m going to be around. The starting pitchers for OSU are who started last weekend for the Vanderbilt series, which they lost 2 of 3 to the Commodores, so that hasn’t been confirmed. The Oklahoma State preview doesn’t state who is starting necessarily other than mentioning Parker Scott, the Friday night starter and what looks to be the toughest nut to crack. As noted below, all games will be broadcast on ESPN+.
