Play-by-Play Narrative:
For many years, Hogville members who love Razorback Baseball have come together to produce these game threads with play-by-play narrative for those that depend on it as their only source and for those that just simply enjoy it. These threads have been a foundation for great Hogville discussions and that tradition continues today as this is NOT a read only thread (all Hogville posting rules apply).

JHicks3636 will provide the play-by-play narrative for this game and Maddhog will be ready in the bullpen. Razorbacks#1, A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S and Wisco Pig will assist with stats, back up, and support. We hope that the many other regular posters will join in also and continue to add quality input. If you are new to Extra Innings and you understand the rules, feel free to join in the conversation.
Maddhog is set to provide Play-by-Play for Saturday's game and JHicks3636 returns with little rest for Sunday's Game.

ZJ back to the pen?

too many BOB's....the kid has tremendous stuff and when he is on, he's unhittable....but LSU made him throw a lot of pitches the other night and you just can't have a starter over the 100 pitch mark in the 4th or 5th inning

[LMS]

Would be a treat to the seniors to send them off at home with a sweep. Let's go guys! We may not make the SEC tourney but we can make what's left of the season fun! WPS!

[Kevin]

like to see the youngsters in the line up
