GAME 22 Thread: ARKANSAS (11-10, 1-4 SEC) vs. #1 LSU (20-3, 3-2 SEC)

[ucahogfan]

Fraley grounds out 6-3.

[SPAL]

Hung a breaking ball.

[ucahogfan]

Foster, he of the Puig bat flip last night, hits a hanging breaking ball into the Hog Pen.

1-0 LSU.

[ucahogfan]

Sciambra one hops the wall in RCF for a double.

[SPAL]

A meeting on the mound. Nobody in the bullpen.

[ucahogfan]

Laird grounds a single up the middle.  Sciambra scores, but the throw isn't cut off on an offline throw so Laird moves to 2B.

2-0 LSU.

Coach Jorn out to the mound.

[SPAL]

Killian getting squeezed pretty tight by this ump.

[ucahogfan]

Killian getting squeezed pretty tight by this ump.

While it has been a tight zone, it has been fair both ways.

[ricepig]

While it has been a tight zone, it has been fair both ways.

Correct, he's not getting squeezed, they just lay off the pitch 2 balls outside.

[ucahogfan]

Bregman flies out to Spoon, but Laird tags and moves to 3B because of his speed.

[ucahogfan]

Hale flies out to Spoon just in front of the track on the first pitch.

Yeah, there hasn't been one pitch today where I have said that is a strike and Killian got squeezed like I have the first two games, but the ump isn't giving anything just off the plate.

[ucahogfan]

Eagan grounds out 4-3 on a nice dig by the 1B.

[ucahogfan]

Serrano runs the count full (strike 2 has been a ball the entire game), and goes down swinging on a very similar pitch.

[ucahogfan]

Benintendi grounds out 6-3 as Bregman was shading him to pull.

Due up for LSU:
Scivicque
Stevenson
Chinea

[ricepig]

Serrano runs the count full (strike 2 has been a ball the entire game), and goes down swinging on a very similar pitch.

Nah, strike 2 ran across the plate, strike 3 that Joe swung on was running inside and would have been ball 4. This kid has great movement, going to have to hit a mistake.

[ucahogfan]

Scivicque grounds out 5-3 on the 1st pitch.

[southarkhog06]

what a time for blue to start giving the strike off the plate, sheesh

[ucahogfan]

Stevenson lines one right at Nomura who knocks it down, but Stevenson's speed allows him to get an infield single.

[ucahogfan]

Chinea flies out to Serrano and foolishly gave a little bat flip.

[SPAL]

Couple plays at 1st

[ucahogfan]

Fraley draws a 4 pitch 2 out walk.  The 3-0 pitch was borderline and might have been the first time Killian got squeezed.

[ucahogfan]

Foster flies out to Benintendi.

[ucahogfan]

It is was of those pitches that could go either way IMO, but had consistently been called a ball so far.  You're right that Godfrey gets tremendous movement on his fastball and our RHHs have swung and missed at a lot of them so far.

[ucahogfan]

Spoon infield single on a ball hit deep in the hole at SS, but Bregman almost threw him out.

[ucahogfan]

Nomura lines out to CF.

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

First time we have had the lead off man on.

[ucahogfan]

Spoon caught stealing 2-6-3 as LSU pitched out on a hit and run.  Wernes swung at the pitch 2 feet off the plate.

[SPAL]

I KNOW he missed that one. He dove around the tag. That was a missed call.

[ucahogfan]

Wernes lines a single into RF.

[ucahogfan]

Shaddy works the count full, and he draws a 2 out walk.

[ucahogfan]

Bernal works the count full, and he chases ball 4 at his ankles on a 10 pitch AB.

[ricepig]

Sure seems like Bernal has left several on this week.

Due up for LSU:
Sciambra
Laird
Bregman

[ucahogfan]

Yep, one thing I have noticed with several of our veterans is that it seems like they really press with runners on base and lose their plate discipline and start chasing bad pitches.

[ucahogfan]

Sciambra grounds a single into RF.

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

Killian at 65 pitches

[ricepig]

Yep, one thing I have noticed with several of our veterans is that it seems like they really press with runners on base and lose their plate discipline and start chasing bad pitches.

I was thinking he left the bases loaded twice against SEMO.

[ucahogfan]

Laird grounds into a 6-4 FC on a softly hit ground ball.  Laird had just a little too much speed to turn the DP.

[ucahogfan]

Bregman drops a double pretty much right on the RF foul line on a hit and run.  Laird score with ease.

3-0 LSU.

[ucahogfan]

Hale pops out to Bernal just on the OF grass.

[ucahogfan]

Bregman caught stealing 2-5.  It was a close play and Bregman is arguing.  Looking at the replay, Wernes blocked the bag and didn't allow Bregman to slide in.

[ucahogfan]

I was just watching the Mizzou/SC game on the SEC Network Alternate channel and SC's infield grass looks terrible.

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

Godfrey at 64 pitches

[rhog1]

Bregman totally looked safe to me. Lol glad we got that call.
