Who is staring

I was always told not to stare!!  Hah

I may have dreamt it, but I believe I read on Twitter last night that Taco will get the start.

I was always told not to stare!!  Hah

I may have dreamt it, but I believe I read on Twitter last night that Taco will get the start.

Let's hope he pulls out a performance like his start at UK last year that came out of nowhere. He has the stuff when on, he just hasn't been on much in the last 2 years. This could either go really great or really bad, but there doesn't seem to be an in between with him.

[reptilehog]

When was the last time Taco pitched this year?  Haven't seen him in a while.

[Wisco Pig]

When was the last time Taco pitched this year?  Haven't seen him in a while.

Maybe I missed an appearance, but I think it was April 14 against Georgia. 

[BigBrandonAllenFan]

A must win to host.

Go Hogs Go. WPS!!!

This.

Win the last two SEC series and you host, lose either series and you are the 1st man out.  I think most every guru that matters would be thinking the same.

Was hoping to see Lee get a shot in the lead off spot. Just seems like he makes something positive happen when he's in there

[Razorbacks#1]

Go RAZORBACKS! :razorback:

[Birminghog]

What's the word on their pitcher? i have to play a concert this afternoon and won't be able to keep up very well.

Chandler Day, a sophomore right-hander from Granville, Ohio, starts for Vanderbilt. He's 7-1 on the season, with a 3.54 ERA in 11 starts and 48.1 innings. He was a midweek starter until two or three weeks ago, from what I heard on the pregame show.

[BigBrandonAllenFan]

[Wisco Pig]

Taccolini gets his third start of the season today. He's 3-0, but with an ERA of 4.99 in 13 appearances and 30.2 innings pitched.

Taccolini has pitched only 13.2 innings in SEC play (3.95 ERA) without a decision.

[Wisco Pig]

Toffey leads off the game for Vanderbilt by grounding out to 2B on a full count.

[HogFansReunited]

Tacos first 3 pitches all in the mid 90's. Hopefully this rest has helped him.

[Wisco Pig]

Ro Coleman, the LF, is next.   He gets the count to 2-1 and then flies out to LF.

Two outs.

[rhog1]

Why is it the Vanderbilt play by play on the Razorback gameday app?

[PeabodyHawg]

Blue seems to have a tight zone.....not something that's good for Taco.  Hopefully he'll settle in.

[Wisco Pig]

Kendall, the CF, bats third.   He gets behind in the count 1-2, evens it at 2-2, gets the count full, and then flies out to LF.

A 1-2-3 inning for Taco.

[PeabodyHawg]

Good inning for DT.....we need 6-7 innings of "Good Taco" today.

[ucahogfan]

Taco hit 96 in that AB to Kendall.  Just unfair with the movement he generates.

[onebadrubi]

Kendall, the CF, bats third.   He gets behind in the count 1-2, evens it at 2-2, gets the count full, and then flies out to LF.

A 1-2-3 inning for Taco.

That should be beneficial for his confidence

[Wisco Pig]

In the bottom of the 1st for the Hogs:

Arledge (.295)
Spanberger (.293)
Bonfield (.304)

[onebadrubi]

Taco hit 96 in that AB to Kendall.  Just unfair with the movement he generates.

Anyone know if he's getting movement from his grip and seems or arm/elbow action?  I ask because if it's from grip and seems he can probably really be made into something at the next level

[HogFansReunited]

Taco hit 96 in that AB to Kendall.  Just unfair with the movement he generates.

Completely agree. If Taco can locate his pitches, he is very dangerous.

[Wisco Pig]

Arledge leads off with a single to left-center field.

[HogFansReunited]

Well I like how this game has started.

[PeabodyHawg]

Lead off on....me likey!!

[Bogghawg]

Broke up the no hitter!!!

[Wisco Pig]

Spanberger gets down in the count 0-2, fouls one off, fouls off another that just misses being a bloop hit, and then strikes out swinging.

The good news is that Arledge steals second.

[PeabodyHawg]

Good sacrifice to get the runner to 2nd..........

[Wisco Pig]

Bonfield bats with Arledge in scoring position.    Bonfield works the count to 2-1 and then grounds out to 2B.

Arledge advances to third.  Two outs.

[Wisco Pig]

Koch bats from the clean-up spot.  He gets behind in the count 1-2 and then BOOM!

A home run over the LF fence, into the Hog Pen.

2-0, Hogs.

[PeabodyHawg]

YESSSSSSS

[TebowHater]

WPS!!!

[razCzar]

HR - Hogs jump on top!

[HogFansReunited]

Koch is alive. Boom
