GAME 20 THREAD: Arkansas (15-4, 1-0 SEC) vs Mississippi State (12-7, 0-1 SEC)

[SPAL]

When Gates gets back at full strength, DVH is going to have to seriously look at DHing him.

That would require us to sit the hot hitting , Eric Cole.

[Mr.Gruntastic]

Shaddy's fielding is gonna cost us some games this year.

Shaddy up -  1-0, 2-0, 2-1, Singles to LF.  One on, no outs

Perfect pitch to throw out Shaddy on that one.  A fastball at the letters.

[Knot2brite]

Maybe, I couldn't tell and I don't have benefit of replay. You could be right.

No you are one of the lucky ones that gets to go to games...I get to coach a tournament al day and miss most of the game when I get home...dang this job stuff keeeps getting in the way of my baseball watching

[trippigs]

Never knew that Shaddy's dad played with DVH in the Hog infield. Seems that color guys would have been mentioned this a bunch of times

Announcers said Burch is being punished for missing a hit-and-run sign and leaving Shaddy hung out to dry.
