[JHicks3636]

Does anybody else feel like Elson gets a little more excited for the other team than he does for the Hogs, sometimes?

About the only outlet for excitement he has right now.

He loves baseball but, being a Pittsburgh native, he doesn't suffer the losses like we do.  He doesn't feel MY pain. 

[Maddhog]

T7

Cudgen (I know that is not correct)

Flys out to Bonfield.  One out.

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

LOL!

But, I'm talking about the tone of his voice as a play is developing.

[Maddhog]

Holcombe -  HBP on a 3-2 count.   One on, one out.

[code red]

What 1 word sums up this year's pitching?

Beach balls

[Maddhog]

Vance -  Out 5-3.   One on, two outs.

[JHicks3636]

Are you trying to get people banned?LOL

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

Beach balls

That's 2 words and let's be careful with this question and how it is answered.   

[Maddhog]

Salem  -  RBI double.  7-1, bama

[Maddhog]

Doug Willey will give way to The Cockroach

[Maddhog]

Ok -  Josh Alberius comes in with two outs and a man on second and the Hogs down 7-1.

Bama promptly crushes a two run homer to make it 9-1.

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

I just don't get it.

[JHicks3636]

We could be in that area called "playing out the string".

[Maddhog]

Haynie or Henry -  K's to end the frame.

Bama leads 9-1

Yes, and your DE kids are looking to June. 

[Maddhog]

B8

Gassaway with a leadoff double. 

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

Gassaway
Double

[TNhawgfan]

Good thing Bama never hits homers smh

[Maddhog]

Spanberger -  BB to put two on with no outs.

[JHicks3636]

Game now just over 2 hours old

[ucahogfan]

What 1 word sums up this year's pitching?

It has to be three words - take your base.

If this staff took the walks down in about half in SEC play, we would probably have several more wins and be in postseason play contention.

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

Time for a rally.

[Maddhog]

Pennell -  Singles to load the bases with no outs. 

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

.

Winner

[Maddhog]

Well, why not?  LSU came back from a 9-1 deficit.

[JHicks3636]

It has to be three words - take your base.

Since we can now cheat, I am going with 2 words-batting practice.

[Maddhog]

Shaddy -  K's chasing a high fast ball.   Bases loaded, one out.

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

Since we can now cheat, I am going with 2 words-batting practice.

Ok, how about 8 words?

[Maddhog]

Eagan -  Gassaway scores but runner at second is out. 

[ucahogfan]

Since we can now cheat, I am going with 2 words-batting practice.

But this team hasn't just been demolished by hits.  Our downfall has been issuing free passes and then teams capitalizing with some hits after those free passes.

See the 1st inning tonight as the perfect example.  Four runs on 1 hit and three walks.

[JHicks3636]

Ok, how about 8 words?

We can't pitch worth a darn this year.

[Maddhog]

Bonfield -  BB to load the bases for Nomura.

Do it, Rick.

[Maddhog]

Rick - Out but it happened as someone spoke to me and I missed it.

Going to the 8th, bama leads 9-2

You made me look. In 433 innings coming into tonight, our pitchers had given up 444 hits and 208 walks. Both are pretty bad. Let's just say it has been an all-around poor performance. Still I think they have played hard. It just kinda snowballed on them.

[Maddhog]

T8

Vincent flys out.  One out.

[Maddhog]

Finnity -  BB   one on, one out.

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

8th inning is our inning.

[Maddhog]

Cudgen -  Pops out to Spanberger.  Two outs.

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]
