The pitching woes continued for Texas A&M in its 18-11 series-opening loss to Mississippi State at Blue Bell Park on Thursday night.
Typically, scoring 11 runs in an SEC contest equates to a win, but not for the Aggies. Jason Kelly's pitching staff gave up the most runs in a single inning since Texas A&M joined the conference in 2012. To make matters worse, the loss was tied for the most runs allowed this season, which came in an 18-5 run-rule loss to Auburn on May 2.
Needless to say, the bullpen has much work to do moving forward. With postseason play right around the corner, it is make-or-break for the pitchers on the roster to step up and provide consistency on the mound for the Aggies. If Texas A&M drops the series to the Bulldogs on Friday, it will be the end of the team's hopes of being a national seed.
The Aggies will aim to avoid dropping their third straight SEC series, as they face Mississippi State in Game 2 at Blue Bell Park on Friday. First pitch against the Bulldogs is scheduled for 4 p.m. CT and will be broadcast live on SEC Network+.

Mississippi State takes down No. 10 in Game 1
Texas A&M drops in the league standings
Barring a miraculous Texas A&M comeback, Texas should wake up tomorrow morning all by itself in second place in the SEC.

Poor night for A&M on the mound
Plenty good enough from the Aggie offense tonight as they put up double digit runs and churn out 13 hits.
That should win you a bunch of games.
Really poor night for A&M on the mound, and the loss puts them in a must-win scenario the next 2 days to hold on to Top 8 hopes https://t.co/IuN0p3BcVx

A closer look at Kellner's mask guarding his eye
Here’s an up-close look at the mask being used by @bkellner_9 tonight after suffering an orbital fracture last week at Ole Miss.

The formula for success wasn't there for the Aggies in the series opener
Boot a ground ball
Let a fly ball drop in front of you
Don't make an accurate throw to first
Not a great formula

Frustrating night on the bump for Texas A&M
When you score 11 runs in a Top 15 SEC battle you just have to win that game
Incredibly frustrating night

The Aggies must find an answer to the lack of consistent performances on the mound
Get a new pitching coach next year and send this thing to the moon
The offense is more than good enough to make a run at the title. The pitching on the other hand…
