Game 24 THREAD:#24 Arkansas(19-4, 4-0 SEC) vs #18 Missouri(20-2, 3-1 SEC)

[JonClaudeVanHam]

Throw down to 2B would have been called batter's interference if Brett Eibner was at the plate and Perry Costello was behind it.

Should have been called batter's interference regardless. Dude walked across the plate as Koch threw the ball, forcing him to short arm the throw.

[JHicks3636]

Glendinning takes a ball, goes 1-1, 2-1, grounds to 3B, looks back the runner at 2nd, throws out the man at 1st, 2 gone

[SPAL]

If we can just limit it to 1 here....I'll feel a lot better.

[JonClaudeVanHam]

I really hope Kenley starts hitting. The kid can really play defense.

[JHicks3636]

Sharp starts 0-1, 0-2, and Ks swinging

1-0 Missouri after 1 full

[YtownHog]

Absolutely was batters interference

[SPAL]

Good way to battle back there.

[JHicks3636]

I'll take 1 there as well

[ucahogfan]

Should have been called batter's interference regardless. Dude walked across the plate as Koch threw the ball, forcing him to short arm the throw.

Yeah, it should have.  Koch should have initiated contact to try and get it called.

[JHicks3636]

Due up in the Arkansas 2nd

6. Shaddy   .333
7. Burch      .227
8. Kenley     .000

Just like solo HR's, not giving up crooked numbers keep you in it.

[JonClaudeVanHam]

The gun is aimed at the hitter, so remember to add 3 mph or so to the speed that appears. Gun should be aimed at the pitcher.

[JHicks3636]

Shaddy dribbles one to 3rd and is thrown out

[JonClaudeVanHam]

Yeah, it should have.  Koch should have initiated contact to try and get it called.

Yep, bet he gets told that in the dugout.

[JHicks3636]

Burch with a ball back to the pitcher, out at 1st

[JHicks3636]

Kenley starts 1-2, 2-2 on a really close pitch, foul, Ks on a curve out of the zone

1-0 Missouri after 1 1/2

[JHicks3636]

First two batters went down on 2 pitches that inning. At least Kenley made him throw 6 more. In 10 at-bats Kenley has struck out 6 times

[JHicks3636]

In the Tiger 2nd

6. Bond
7. Samples
8. Mompierre

[HamIAm]

Very nice catch

[JHicks3636]

Bond smashes the first pitch to center and a great catch by Fletcher

[Razorbacks#1]

Sorry folks, missed a couple of line scores there due to someone at the door.

[JonClaudeVanHam]

Difficult catch. Impressive.

[JHicks3636]

Samples goes 0-1, 0-2 on a nice curve, singles to center

[JHicks3636]

Mompierrre takes ball 1, then a fairly easy ball goes right between Shaddy's legs, 2 on, 1 out

[JonClaudeVanHam]

Stephen has no command today. Koch set up for a high fastball away. Got a belt high middle-in.

[PigWig]

Ugh

[SPAL]

Oklahoma state

[HamIAm]

Stephen has no command today. Koch set up for a high fastball away. Got a belt high middle-in.

A wet pitcher's mound probably doesn't help. 

[JHicks3636]

Ball to Shaddy was a tailor made double play ball

[JHicks3636]

Plate ump took a ball off the body and needs some time

[jry04]

Ball to Shaddy was a tailor made double play ball

As are all of his errors, and some of the DP balls he boots but still gets 1 out.

[HamIAm]

I know the weather isn't great but that's a weak crowd for a team that's only lost 2 games so far.  Actually it's a weak crowd period

[JHicks3636]

Berler takes ball 1, 1-1, 2-1, 3-1, flies out to foul ground in left, 2 outs

[JonClaudeVanHam]

This is a huge at-bat early in this game.

[JHicks3636]

Brumfield who worked a BB his first time up, 0-1, 0-2 just as he started last time, Ks swinging

1-0 Missouri after 2 full innings

A wet pitcher's mound probably doesn't help.

The pitcher's mound shouldn't be wet unless the field wasn't tarped when it rained.  It was tarped before the game when the rain moved through so the mound as well as the INF should be in good shape.

[JHicks3636]

Arkansas 3rd brings up

9. Biggers      .324
1. Arledge      0-1
2. Spanberger 1-1

[JonClaudeVanHam]

Big-time strikeout. Stephen appears to be able to get those when he really does need them. Bit of an it factor.

[Wisco Pig]

Hogs survived a tough 1st inning and the inevitable Shaddy Special in the 2nd.   I like our chances.

[JonClaudeVanHam]

Guys, forgive me for griping, but I still just can't wrap my head around why Shaddy is not DHing today. Especially with a lefty and the ability to put Williams at 2nd and put Macfarland at first and Spanberger at 3rd. I'll shut up about it, but it's impossible for me to understand why we're not doing that.

[JHicks3636]

Biggers brings up the tail of our order and starts with a ball, fouls one off to go 1-1, 2-1, another foul for 2-2, foul, foul, nice play by 1B gets Biggers at first on a bang-bang play to the pitcher

[JHicks3636]

Arledge starts 1-0, 1-1, 1-2, and is HBP(no faking there), at 1st with 1 out

[HamIAm]

The pitcher's mound shouldn't be wet unless the field wasn't tarped when it rained.  It was tarped before the game when the rain moved through so the mound as well as the INF should be in good shape.

Good point

[JHicks3636]

Spanberger fouls for strike 1, throw to 1B, another throw over, another, ball in the dirt and Arledge tries to get 2nd, ump says out, DVH out to discuss

[ucahogfan]

How do you call him out there?  Arledge was clearly safe there.  It wasn't even close.

[JHicks3636]

He was safe but unreviewable

[HogFansReunited]

Horrible call

[Razorbacks#1]

Yah!
