Corey Riggs and The Starting Lineup crew dig into a tough stretch for Missouri State, with the Bears looking to snap a five-game skid and find their footing. The conversation zeroes in on the team’s drastic split, raking at Hammons Field while struggling to carry that same energy on the road. It highlights how much comfort, environment, and routine still factor into performance, especially for a team trying to stabilize before a crucial matchup.

Corey also helps spotlight where this group is headed and why the outlook still has some juice. From two-way talent Curry Sutherland gaining MLB draft buzz to Caden Bogenpohl, impact in center, the upside is there. Add in pitching inconsistencies, Bryce Cermenelli's steady bat, and the ongoing ripple effects of NCAA eligibility changes, and it’s clear, this team’s story is still being written, with urgency now and potential ahead.
