NCAA TOURNAMENT GAME THREAD: #1 ARKANSAS (44-18) vs Missouri State

[Sho Nuff]

Goodness...

[knoxvillehog]

Can't happen there

[HogFansReunited]

Wild Pitch scores a run

4-3 Arkansas

That should be scored a passed ball, that was on Koch.

[JHicks3636]

Other runner moved to 2B on the WP

[JHicks3636]

Rogers warming and now coming in

[TebowHater]

Another new pitcher. Wow. Weston Rogers.

[Hollywood_HOGan45]

Koch!!!! Come on man!!!!

[JHicks3636]

Inherits a 2-1 count

[lookawayquick]

How many runs have the Hogs given this year when Chadwick has been on the mound with a man on 3rd?  Pulling Kopps is turning out to be a bad move.  I know you gotta play like there is no tomorrow.....but.

[Tejano Jawg]

Middle relief—pitcher/catcher meltdown—cost us yesterday. C'mon Hogs, don't unravel again!

[HogFansReunited]

Koch might need a break, catching all year has taken a toll on him.

[Uberanubis]

Middle relief—pitcher/catcher meltdown—cost us yesterday. C'mon Hogs, don't unravel again!

its what we do

[Hollywood_HOGan45]

We may need to score at least 12.

[TebowHater]

Yeah I sure hope we have an emergency back-up plan...because we are burning through them fast. Gotta have someone left.

[elksnort]

Kopps was pulled too soon.

[razorhog52]

Pulling Kopps was the wrong move. Reminds me of the SEC championship game vs. LSU. Too many pitching changes up 4-0.

[Flatline]

This is ridiculous.  Why Why Why do we crap the bed every time. 

Just gave them the momentum back when they were so close to shutting the door on them.

[knoxvillehog]

Someone from the pen has to step up tonight,
Rodgers, Cronin, Loeske, anyone?

[BigBrandonAllenFan]

Colonel Rogers is a Red Army secret weapon.  He will smoke this Kulak.

[TebowHater]

Koch might need a break, catching all year has taken a toll on him.

I agree batting wise. Catching I actually think he has improved a lot from earlier in the year. He had so many PBs early in the year and would drop strikes on the regular.

[lookawayquick]

Is DVH over managing the pen?

[BigBrandonAllenFan]

Colonel Rogers got him with one shot. 

[CJ HOG]

I can't remember the last time I saw Rodgers in.....and  it was April 25th. Whoa

[TebowHater]

Is DVH over managing the pen?

Maybe, but worked there.

[Southpointhog]

We just don't want it bad enough.

JUst not a smart comment!!!!

[Hollywood_HOGan45]

Kopps was pulled too soon.

We've been all over the place since he was pulled. Not good.

[JHicks3636]

Jefferson, 1-1 in the game and we need to get him out this time, 0-1, 1-1, 2-1, grounds out to SS

4-3 Arkansas after 2 1/2

[BigBrandonAllenFan]

Is DVH over managing the pen?

Not in this game he isn't.  Last night, probably.

[DLUXHOG]

chitty inning.........

[98hogs]

Chadwick has had some scary outings this year

[JHicks3636]

For the Hogs in the 3rd and needing to keep the offense going

5. Biggers   1-1
6. Shaddy 0-1
7. Gates   0-1

[lookawayquick]

Chadwick move was a bad one.  There is a better spot for him to come in.

[Bogghawg]

We're gonna have to score a LOT of runs...

[knoxvillehog]

Were fine, more runs coming

[Hulk HOGan]

Kopps should probably still be pitching. Looking like we're gonna need 3 or 4 more runs.

[HogFansReunited]

I agree batting wise. Catching I actually think he has improved a lot from earlier in the year. He had so many PBs early in the year and would drop strikes on the regular.

His hitting is coming back around but he has been letting a lot get past him and also dropping 3rd strike balls that are tipped and hit right in the glove.

[JHicks3636]

A good life lesson: Never get too high or too low

[Hollywood_HOGan45]

Pressure will be on the offense to perform and score as many runs as possible. Cannot strand anyone.

[HogFansReunited]

Hey, we are still up 1 going to the bottom of the 3rd. We are doing fine.

[TheEnemy]

Will pulling close pressure MoState to pull Knight?

[oldbooniehog]

This is ridiculous.  Why Why Why do we crap the bed every time. 

Just gave them the momentum back when they were so close to shutting the door on them.

If you are really asking this question in all sincerity, it makes me wonder just how long you've been watching Arkansas sports.

It's what the Hogs do best.

Almost, not quite, missed it by THAT much...

[DiamondHogFan]

Kopps should probably still be pitching. Looking like we're gonna need 3 or 4 more runs.

At least.  Just stay in front and put the pressure on Mo St to play from behind.

[HogFansReunited]

I'm kinda surprised they haven't pulled Knight yet. A couple more pitches like that and I'm sure he is gone though.

[Hawgphish]

Who coaches the catchers?

[JHicks3636]

Mo State pen hard at work

[hog.goblin]

Is DVH over managing the pen?

Either that or brilliance, only time will tell

[JHicks3636]

Biggers, 1-1 in the game, 1-0, 2-0, 3-0, 3-1, full on a foul, doubles to left center

[HogFansReunited]

Nice hit Biggers

[TebowHater]

Let's hope the lead-off double recipe continues to produce!

[HogFansReunited]

Another lead off double.
