GAME 18 THREAD: #5 Arkansas (13-4, 0-0 SEC) vs #4 Kentucky (14-3, 0-0 SEC)

[Razorbacks#1]

Awesome Job as always JHicks! Hope to see everyone tomorrow!

[trippigs]

Solid game by the Hogs

[razCzar]

Great win Hogs!
But something tells me this will be a war this weekend.

[TebowHater]

Someone could correct me, but I think I remember coaches are suspended a game in SEC play if they are ejected.

Rule 2 Section 26. Only if it is an assistant/player is the person suspended. The head coach is not suspended for an ejection.

When an assistant coach, a player (other than a pitcher) or team personnel
other than the head coach is ejected for disputing an umpire's decision
or for unsportsmanlike conduct or language directed at an opponent or
umpire (including a post-participation ejection), he will receive a one-game
suspension in addition to the present game ejection. There will be a threegame
suspension for subsequent ejections in the same season. The individual
institution will see that all suspensions are served. Assistant coaches and
players may not leave their position on the field or dugout area to appeal any
play on the field. Head coaches are ultimately responsible for their team's
actions on the field. Although there is a difference between a discussion and
an argument, participants, other than the head coach, shall not be the ones to
represent their team in communication with the umpire(s).

The way a HC gets suspension is if he removes his team from the field and refused to continue the game. In that case, ejection + 2 game suspension. Alternatively, any one who "prolonged or continued arguing, offensive language, or excessive expressions directed at a game umpire or official after an ejection" is also a 2 gamer. But that applies to all players, and I am sure they are more lenient on HCs

Who do we have on the mound tomorrow?

Campbell, according to the game notes on the Razorback website today.

Thanks for the PBP, JHicks.  Thanks, Razorbacks#1.

[Kevin]

Good win.  Got to bring it again tomorrow

[War Boar]

Probably zay

Thanks.

Who do we have on the mound tomorrow?

I don't think they have announced, but unless I missed something drastic in the news about Campbell being out,  I'm betting grandpa's pig farm it is Campbell.  That's the rotation Van Horn wants.  Not sure why you would go differently to start SEC play than to go Saturday Campbell.

Big win over a very good ball club.  Way to go Hogs!

Campbell, according to the game notes on the Razorback website today.

Thanks for the PBP, JHicks.

I guess they did announce.

unbelievable

Biggest upset in NCAA history.

[Hogeye_Pierce]

Biggest upset in NCAA history.

UVa just topped themselves since the last biggest upset was when they were ranked #1 and lost to NAIA Chaminade in the '80's

Thanks Razorbacks#1

Let's take 'em one at a time and get the series win tomorrow.

As great as that victory was, we have our work cut out for us this weekend to take the series.  Those Cats can hit the ball.  I was most impressed with their hitting.  But we matched them, and our pitching staff was just better allowing fewer walks in critical situations.  We can't let up or they will take the last two.

I'm glad this series is being played at Baum - a number of those moon shots by Kentucky would've been out at their park.

Incredible performance by the offense tonight. Never got tight, never felt intimidated - by contrast, I thought from the first pitch the Hogs were the aggressor and they took it to Hjelle. That strike zone tonight was all over the place, and I think it bothered both starters; Knight adjusted, however, and Hjelle never did. Good for us.

Only one error tonight, and it didn't really cost us. That's a positive.

Kentucky is their prototypical hard hitting team, but they were scattered for the most part tonight, save one small stretch, and never really got the run factory going.

Great win - I hate to see a DH tomorrow when one isn't really necessary, but it will be of no concern if we bring that same offense to game 1. Go get the series win, then worry about lagniappe ...

Great fun in the thread tonight while the no G phone battery lasted. Let's have some more fun tomorrow.

Go Hogs.

Want to take my family but won't make it until game two starts. Not sure if I want to make that long of a trip to sit in general admission.
