GAME 53 THREAD: #14 Arkansas (38-14, 17-10 SEC) at #22 Texas A&M (35-19, 15-13)

[SPAL]

I'll keep that in mind, although I don't understand the distinction.  Is it like how the navy feels when you say ship instead of boat?

Oh man. To a baseball guy, it's like nails on a chalkboard. Or when you call umpires refs. Or when you say the score is 1 to 4 .....we baseball guys are weird.

Back catcher/hind catcher

[JHicks3636]

Bedford, 0-1 in the game with a sac fly, 1-1, 1-2, foul, 2-2, foul, strikes out swinging

[JHicks3636]

Shewmake, 0-1 with a walk, grounds out to 2B on pitch 1

[JHicks3636]

Coleman, 1-2 with the 3 run dinger, gets behind 0-1, singles to center

[SPAL]

Back catcher/hind catcher

I can honestly say I've never heard hind catcher....but yes, back catcher is a good one. As opposed to the front catcher.

[JHicks3636]

Kopetsky, 1-2 so far, starts 0-1, 0-2, flies out to center

4-1 Wrong Team after 5 complete

[HogFansReunited]

I like this Taco much more than the Taco we saw in the 3rd.

My g-ma used to tell me she saw me in the warm up pen.

[HogFansReunited]

I guess DVH knows a little more than me, I would have pulled Taco after the 3rd.

[BigBrandonAllenFan]

Only if you plan on scoring more runs.

Which is what we have to do.  You don't go into the other guys ball park and win with 1 or 2 runs very often.  Most often you need bout 5.

[JHicks3636]

Koch, 0-2 thus far, 1-0, 1-1, 2-1, 2-2, foul, strikes out looking

[JHicks3636]

8 Hogs have Kd thus far

[JHicks3636]

Fletcher, 0-2 on the evening, 1-1, 2-1, singles to right

[Knot2brite]

Zone is wide...but consistent ...just wide

[JHicks3636]

Taccolini with 78 pitches through 5 innings

[SPAL]

Which is what we have to do.  You don't go into the other guys ball park and win with 1 or 2 runs very often.  Most often you need bout 5.

If we aren't gonna score, what's the difference in losing 4-1 or 10-1? Just no reason to pull him right now. Not one. If we pull with a run or tie it, you might think about it but right now, you're saving arms.

[JHicks3636]

Shaddy, 1-2 in the game, 1-0, 1-1, 1-2, grounds to 3B, out at 2B, safe at 1st on the fielder's choice

[SPAL]

I would throw taco in the 7th also.

[JHicks3636]

Cole, 2-2 with two doubles tonight, 0-1, 0-2, grounds out to 2B

4-1 TAM after 5 1/2

[JHicks3636]

For the Aggs in the 6th

6. Schoenvogel   0-0
7. Blake             1-2
8. Homan           0-2

Martin at 92 pitches through 6 innings

The only reason I can see for saving arms for tomorrow is that they don't think that BK is going to be able to go very long. They used three last night and Lee for one batter. Reindl could give us a inning tomorrow if he needed to. We haven't seen Alberius, Chadwick, Murphy, Cronin, Rogers etc. taco has settled down but if he gets in a jam in this inning we need to go get him unless they are just going to be willing to ride it out and hope thenoffense kicks it in and gets us back in it

[JHicks3636]

Schoenvogel, flies out to left after falling behind 0-2 in the count

[JHicks3636]

Blake, 1-2 tonight, starts 1-1, 1-2, 2-2, full, walks

[SPAL]

"All the good players you have is from Texas...."

[PeabodyHawg]

"Every good player you have is from Texas".....WTH does that matter? 

[JHicks3636]

Pinch runner for Blake

[JHicks3636]

I hate walks and I really hate walking the guy hitting .222

[BigBrandonAllenFan]

Agreed.

[Knot2brite]

Ball four there was really close I think

[JHicks3636]

Homan, 0-2 tonight, grounds into the 4-6-3 DP

4-1 Them after 6 full

[HoopS]

"Every good player you have is from Texas".....WTH does that matter? 

Texans brag just a little.

[LRHawg]

That announcer can shove it.

[knoxvillehog]

Late in the game is Hog time. Let's gets some runs

[Pudgepork]

Get the momentum Hogs.

Before the stretch we send up

8. Gates     1-2
9. Biggers   1-2
1. Arledge   0-3

[Knot2brite]

Live down here at the gates of hell ( Texarkana) and you will hear it every day...all day...forever....that is why I am hoping that I get the job I applied for in NWA

Tomorrow is a big deal for hosting. By starting Taco, to me they were hoping to win tomorrow and we're willing to take an L today. Taco has given 7 big innings. I'm not sure how they will use BK tomorrow.

[PeabodyHawg]

Texans brag just a little.

I guess they are discounting Arledge, Spanburger, Bonfield, Koch, Shaddy, Gates, etc....

[JHicks3636]

First 4 guys in our order-  0-11
Next 5                          6-13

[JHicks3636]

Gates, 1-2 tonight, flies out to center on the 2-1

[JHicks3636]

Biggers singles to center on the first pitch

[Maddhog]

Biggers singles to center on the first pitch

WTG, Jax.

[JHicks3636]

McFarland pinch hits for Arledge

[knoxvillehog]

Odd choice, why not Lee I wonder.
