[PoconoHog]

New Dog pitcher is Hudson  RHP

[PeabodyHawg]

Make 'em pay for the mid batter change Tyler.  Hard hit ball scores a run.

[PoconoHog]

Spoon at bat   the count is 1 - 2
Bases loaded    0 outs

[Razorbacks#1]

Strange time to make a pitching change when pitcher is ahead in the count 1 - 2

I can't recall one game seeing that before

[PoconoHog]

Spoon K's swinging
1 out   Bases loaded    Bonfield to the plate

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

Bonfield bats now: 0-1 today,   .184 BA,  7 RBI's in 49 AB's, .182 RISP

[Southpaw Hawg]

I can't recall one game seeing that before

I've never seen that either.  Worked out for them but weird nonetheless.

[PoconoHog]

Bonfield gets ahead in count 3 - 0...count goes full...K's swinging
2 outs    Bases loaded     Wernes to the plate

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

Bonfield gets ahead in count 3 - 0...count goes full...K's swinging
2 outs    Bases loaded     Wernes to the plate

Strike 1 was at the ankles.

Cost us at least 1 run.  And that wasn't even close.

[GatorHog]

Good grief

[PoconoHog]

Eagan scores on wild pitch
HOGS lead 2 - 1
Men on 2nd and 3rd    2 outs   Wernes still batting

[PeabodyHawg]

Are you sure that wasn't a strike Ump?

[ucahogfan]

Take that Tony Walsh!  You weren't going to cost us Eagan scoring.

[PoconoHog]

Wernes ahead in count 3 - 1...count goes full...base hit to RF....double
2 runs score
HOGS lead 4 - 1
Man on 2nd    2 outs    McAfee to the plate

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

WPS!

8th batter of the inning is McAfee : 0-1 today with a K,  .295 BA, .318 RISP

[GatorHog]

Wernes has been delivering all year, love it!

[PeabodyHawg]

Way to go Bobby.

WPS!!!

[Razorbacks#1]

[ucahogfan]

Wernes has been delivering all year, love it!

Was only hitting .225 with RISP entering the AB.  Good to see him reverse the trend.

[PoconoHog]

McAfee ahead in count 3 - 0...BB
Men on 1st and 2nd    2 outs   Bernal to the plate
Pitching change coming tup

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

Bernal is 0-1 today and bats .273 and .342 RISP

[PoconoHog]

New Dog pitcher is RHP Mintz

[PeabodyHawg]

What a Kodak moment with the sunset over Baum......God I miss Fayetteville.

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

Mintz has the second lowest ERA for MSU at 2.70,  20 IP,  18 K's and 8 BB's.

[PoconoHog]

Bernal K's swinging to end the inning
Heading to top of 4th
HOGS lead 4 - 1

[King]

Mintz has the second lowest ERA for MSU at 2.70,  20 IP,  18 K's and 8 BB's.

So their pitching is sub-par and looks like they are committed to running through it all in game 1?

[PoconoHog]

Holland, Gridley and Heck due up for Dogs in top of 4th

[GatorHog]

Was only hitting .225 with RISP entering the AB.  Good to see him reverse the trend.

Wow, surprising stat - seems like he's always getting hits - of course he started the year red hot

That does provide at least some answer to a previous thread...both you providing the risp stat, and his double and two rbis in a critical situation which hasnt happened in a while

[ucahogfan]

I started a thread this week bringing up a potential issue with Wernes and RISP.  He only had 18 RBIs entering tonight which was way too low for a guy hitting over .300 on this offense.  The .225 with RISP explains why his RBIs were below what they should have been.

[PoconoHog]

Leadoff batter Holland falls behind in count 0 - 2...K's looking
1 out

[PoconoHog]

Next batter Gridley...HBP
Man on 1st    1 out

[ucahogfan]

I know that it is in the past and I should leave it be, but how would that inning have looked if Walsh correctly called the walk on Bonfield?

[flippinhogmana]

vandy kicking mizzou's butt up 6-0

now up 8-0 top 4
Kentucky up 2-0 on Florida top 7

Pennell, Eagan and Serrano due up for Hogs in bottom of 4th

[PeabodyHawg]

I know that it is in the past and I should leave it be, but how would that inning have looked if Walsh correctly called the walk on Bonfield?

That and Tyler not swinging at 3 balls would have made for a huge at bat.

[flippinhogmana]

Aggites have caught and gone ahead of Lsu 3-2 top 4

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

[PoconoHog]

Pennell grounds out to SS
1 out    Eagan to the plate

[ucahogfan]

That and Tyler not swinging at 3 balls would have made for a huge at bat.

Well, Spoon has not been patient at the plate this year, but it has worked for him hitting about .350.  He has drawn less than 10 walks.

[Southpaw Hawg]

I know that it is in the past and I should leave it be, but how would that inning have looked if Walsh correctly called the walk on Bonfield?

Really only be walking in the run, keeping the bases loaded and saving the out.  After the wild pitch scored Eagan and Wernes hitting his double not sure it wasn't a wash.

[PoconoHog]

Eagan BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM!!  Home Run
HOGS lead 5 - 1
1 out   Serrano to the plate

[ucahogfan]

Really only be walking in the run, keeping the bases loaded and saving the out.  After the wild pitch scored Eagan and Wernes hitting his double not sure it wasn't a wash.

At least one more run with Eagan scoring on the BB, Serrano on the WP, and Bentendi and Bonfield on the 2B, but that is assuming everything else stayed the same.  And it would have been one less out.
