If he's proven anything it's that he is mentally strong enough to pitch in any and all situations. His stuff may not be as good as some others but his moxie is. That being said I'm not sure how he would do against the Aggies in College Station this weekend. They are the best hitting team we will play this year and are much better at home. That's where a lack of stuff can give up several long balls. I expect Hagen Smith to do Hagen Smith things this weekend but after that...? It will be a great test going into postseason

OmaHOGS - Extra Innings,The Road to Omaha / Re: Game 52 PBP: #5 ARKANSAS (...Last post by NOVAHog - Today at 08:32:35 amQuote from: philiphog on Yesterday at 07:58:54 pmJones, Holt and Diggs needs to be our outfield going forward. Jones is a different hitter than he was at the first of the season. He's coming into his own and it's awesome to see it. Jones still seems to have trouble with the curve & slider from a RHP. We might be better having he and Lovich alternating based on the starting pitcher. When Lovich starts, we'd still have Jones as a pinch hitter. I do love Jones' progress at the plate and expect it will continue. 4
Jump Ball / Re: How many schollies do we g...Last post by Smithian - Today at 08:30:23 amI completely understand only getting 9 or 10 guys who expect to be playing. I am confused by my reading of this which makes it seem like he really may leave the end of the bench empty.
What is argument against, after loading up the roster, going and raiding small schools like UCA, SEMO, UMKC for some warm bodies who are, if not stars, competent players for their level? They'll come in knowing they won't play, but they can show good looks in practice and in a pinch during an injury or foul crisis give some minutes. I guess the cold hearted answer is not having end of the bench scholarship players reduces risk of grumbling and, should your main horses get hurt or in foul trouble, you're not winning anyway. 5

Appreciate any article that goes from a lively Dickson Street to quoting a Catholic priest, which has to be the first shoutout of religious faith in a Razorback article in decades/ever, aside from Shiloh Christian or the Floyd. Lots of optimism. Then the sobering reminder we're a lower end program financially in the SEC. 7

Fairways and Greens / Re: XXIO clubsLast post by GolfNut57 - Today at 08:20:52 amQuote from: Hog66 on Yesterday at 09:13:36 pmTheyre going to be aerating the greens next week, the 21st I think. Give it a week or so after that and the course should be in really, really good shape. They've done a bunch of work on drainage and the fairways. Bunkers are good, plenty of sand but they don't have the manpower to rake them daily and too many players won't rake them after playing out. If I catch a crappy lie in a bunker I play "rake and place " lol. 12 of 13 fairways? So they have five par 3's at Nutters? Most courses have 14 fairways and 4 par 3's. Of course the Greens at North Hills also has five par 3's on theirs. 9

You can wear a pitching staff out before the big show if you're not careful. One thing about DVH this year is he has not pushed the starters hard at all. We very seldom throw a guy over 100 pitches

Jump Ball / Re: A top 15 DefenseLast post by Smithian - Today at 08:18:41 amI have no idea what to predict from Cal.
Musselman came to Arkansas after a run at Nevada where his success came from outscoring teams. In Fayetteville, he went full on, throwback tough defensive team. Which made sense based on his career before Nevada. Young Calipari coached team, mean defensive teams. But his final Kentucky team outscored people. I have no idea what he'll do in Fayetteville. |
