[knoxvillehog]

Some pesky ABs from Mo st

[Maddhog]

Jefferson - 0-1, 1-1, 2-1, 2-2, foul, foul, foul foul, walk   (BOO!)  One on, one out.

[Hawgphish]

that was not a strike

[JHGiunta]

that was not a strike

I agree. It was up. I would have been mad if he had punched one of our guys out on it

[ThisTeetsTaken]

Both pitch counts getting way high.

[Hawgphish]

these hitters are being very disciplined at the plate dang it.

[knoxvillehog]

Man at the foul balls.....

[Bogghawg]

Sick to death at the foul balls.

[HogFansReunited]

Man, these guys just don't go down.

[JonClaudeVanHam]

These are some incredible at bats from MSU. You've got to tip your cap to them. Going to be a bullpen game from about the 5th on.

[TNhawgfan]

I'm impressed with this team's approach at the plate

[Bogghawg]

Knight's expression and body language is no good.  He's very frustrated.

[knoxvillehog]

Hope good Jake Reindl is in the building, he will be needed tonight

[HogFansReunited]

Come on, let's get the out.

you are right.  I can't stand these guys.  They play the game like I like our guys to play.

[SPAL]

43 for knight

[russdog11]

Either crank it up and put it by them or take a little off and pitch to contact    pitch count getting up

[Bogghawg]

I HATE Missouri State.

[russdog11]

Their coach is a prick

[SPAL]

Boooooooys. I'm right on first base. He looked out to me.

[HogFansReunited]

Whew

[knoxvillehog]

Great pitch

[Maddhog]

Duffy - After a lengthy battle, batter K's looking on the 12th pitch.   One on, two out.

[knoxvillehog]

Boooooooys. I'm right on first base. He looked out to me.

Just safe, tag was on his hip

[HogFansReunited]

Boooooooys. I'm right on first base. He looked out to me.

He was safe by a hair.

[Hawgphish]

Boooooooys. I'm right on first base. He looked out to me.

tv had him just gettting back.

[hog.goblin]

Huge K.  Battled for that one.

[JonClaudeVanHam]

Either crank it up and put it by them or take a little off and pitch to contact    pitch count getting up

Tbh, sitting here at the game, my angle makes it appear that they aren't actually trying to put it in play. Not any good swings, just chops designed to foul it off. They want their pitch, plain and simple.

[Hawgphish]

I love first base coaches...masters of the obvious.

[Bogghawg]

Their coach is a prick

Tru dis

[Maddhog]

Geha - 1-0, 1-1, 1-2, K's swinging to end the second.

Tied 1-1

[Bogghawg]

Take that, baby bears......

[HogFansReunited]

Good work coming back after a couple of frustrating at bats.

[Bogghawg]

Crooked numbers coming up...

[Hawgphish]

this game will be over tomorrow.

[JHGiunta]

Let's go..

[Hawgphish]

frustrating that he swings at the bouncing breaking ball every at bat.

[Bogghawg]

Chad is just trying too hard.

[Poker_hog]

Yep.  Which makes winning this game that much more important so we don't have to play another game and burn pitching. 

[Bogghawg]

Yep.  Which makes winning this game that much more important so we don't have to play another game and burn pitching. 

The most important reason to win is that Mizzou St SUCKS.

[Hawgphish]

here comes breaking ball in dirt

[Maddhog]

T3

C-Span - 0-1, 0-2, 1-2, foul, foul, 2-2, foul, foul, K's swinging..  One down.

[knoxvillehog]

Wish we would be ready for that 1st pitch FB

[Maddhog]

Luke - 0-1, 1-1, 2-1, 3-1, Full, Singles up the middle.  One on, one out.

[Hawgphish]

spanberger thinking too much about the long ball.  He needs to think first pitch fastball up the middle just to reset everything.

[Hawgphish]

Fletcher you pledge name is Marky Mark.

[russdog11]

Happy for the hit but what are you looking for 3-1    that was gut

[Maddhog]

Fletcher - 1-0, 2-0, 2-1, 2-2, Lines out to LF.  One on, two out.

[Knot2brite]

What is the wind like at the ballpark

[knoxvillehog]

Shaddy hasn't homered in a while.....
