He never came set. He's done it all game haha

Usually you won't get called for it as long as you pitch the same way every time. Wish we could have made them pay for it though.

[JHicks3636]

In the 4th for Missouri

5. Sharp     0-1
6. Bond      0-1
7. Samples 1-1

[Dr. Starcs]

Sorry if I missed it, but why all the left handed bats today in the lineup?

[PigWig]

Several missed opportunities thus far.

[JonClaudeVanHam]

Wondered the same thing. Guessing that for some reason lefties have better numbers against this guy than righties.

[JHicks3636]

Sharp gets down 0-2, 1-2, foul, foul tip strike out

[JHicks3636]

Bond takes the hook for strike 1, next hook outside to go 1-1, 2-1, takes strike 2 to go 2-2, Ks swinging on way high heat

[JHicks3636]

Samples flies out to center

1-1 after 4 full

Let's get the bats going Hogs

[ThisTeetsTaken]

Stephan starting to get the "feel" for pitching.  Fun stuff.

[ucahogfan]

It's on the 1st page of the thread.  Something about this guy is better against RHHs than LHHs.

[Dr. Starcs]

Ok thanks uca.

[trippigs]

Stephan's got a lot of ball movement today.....gotta be hard to square up

[Hawgphish]

DVH still searching for DH.  Also, not much offense from the 3B position.

[JHicks3636]

Arledge starts 1-0, 1-1, 1-2, 2-2, chops to the pitcher who fields and throws him out

[JonClaudeVanHam]

Makes sense. Has a great change-up. Not sure it's been hit yet.

[ucahogfan]

Just have to get Gates back in the groove and the 3B will be set.  He was one of our top bats before the injury.

And DH, yeah, that is something we need to get settled.  I think it should be McFarland, but who knows how it will settle in.

[JHicks3636]

Spanberger takes ball 1, 1-1, 1-2 on a nice curve, taps back to the mound for the second out

[Hawgphish]

I wouldn't mind seeing Gates get more consecutive starts and maybe he can get settled in. 

[trippigs]

Starting to rain

[ucahogfan]

TV guys just praising the Mizzou P.  Makes it much easier when the 2B ump saves you 3 runs.  Should be at least 4-1 right now.

[Hawgphish]

Starting to rain

noooooo.....

[ucahogfan]

Same here.  Not sure why he isn't in the lineup today.

[JHicks3636]

Bonfield takes ball 1, 1-1, 2-1, foul to go 2-2, full count, foul, walks to take 1st with 2 outs

[JHicks3636]

Rain coming down heavier

[JHicks3636]

Koch swings at a bad pitch to go 0-1, 1-1 on a check swing on the same pitch, 2-1, smash to 3rd and runner out at 2B on the fielder's choice

1-1 after 4 1/2

[JonClaudeVanHam]

Are they trying to get to the rain delay?

Just saw Hick's post. I'm behind.

[HogFansReunited]

Getting sick of these rainy games.

[trippigs]

Phil says it is raining harder and faster. What is faster about it???

Well Tanner English is the Mizzou weatherman.

[JHicks3636]

In the MO 5th

8. Mompierre   0-1
9. Berler         0-1
1. Brumfield     0-1, BB

[Scott7703]

Sorry if I missed it, but why all the left handed bats today in the lineup?

I've been trying to figure out why McFarland isn't getting more at bats but at the end of the day we are winning games and that's what matters

[JHicks3636]

Diamond Dry on the mound

[trippigs]

Well Tanner English is the Mizzou weatherman.

Golden

[JHicks3636]

Mompierre takes strike 1, fouls off strike 2, doubles down the left field line on a way too good 0-2 pitch

[JHicks3636]

Berler shows bunt and takes ball 1, bunts foul to go 1-1, bunts foul again to go 1-2, shows bunt on a ball to get to 2-2, bunts foul for the K

[HogFansReunited]

Wow that looked like a strike

[JHGiunta]

WOW! Should have rung him up.   Belt high isn't a strike anymore?

[JonClaudeVanHam]

Wow that looked like a strike

Agreed, but he didn't give that to the Mizzou pitcher either.

[ThisTeetsTaken]

Wow that looked like a strike

This ump is special.

[JHicks3636]

Brumfield bats for the 3rd time today and fouls off pitch 1, fake throw to 2B, fouls to go 0-2 which is a count he has been in all 3 appearances, 1-2 on a low pitch nicely stopped by Koch, foul, foul, 2-2 on a pretty good pitch, slider in the dirt blocked to take the count full, foul, foul, Ks looking on the 10th pitch of the at-bat, 2 gone

[HogFansReunited]

There we go. Very tough at bat.

[JHGiunta]

He used that left to right sink on his fastball to his benefit there. Started that pitch way inside and it came back over the plate.. Beautiful pitch to end a great at bat by Brumfield.

[HogFansReunited]

Wow.....just outside but that was very close. Batters have to love these calls.
