SECT CHAMPIONSHIP GAME, #4 ARKANSAS (42-16, 18-11)#2 LSU (41-17, 21-9 SEC)

[runninhog]

Got something going....

[ucahogfan]

Ump giving a lot on the inside corner it would appear.

[CJ HOG]

Hogs with 45 total hits so far this week, 22 for extra bases! Awesome

[JHicks3636]

Koch fouls off the first pitch, 1-1, 1-2 looking, strikes out swinging

[SPAL]

C'mon blue.....that's awful

[TNhawgfan]

That hurts

[JHicks3636]

Gates from whom we need a 2-out hit, 0-1 looking, flies out to center

0-0 after 2

[razorbackfan4life]

Ump calling that strike that almost hit him cost us that inning. 

[knoxvillehog]

That was gates, but same thing.

[ucahogfan]

That strike which was on the white of the batter's box killed that inning for us.  We better get that pitch today.  Instead of it being 2-1 for Koch, it was 1-2 and he had to chase the elevated fastball.

[runninhog]

Can't let too many of those types of opportunities go by against LSU.

[TebowHater]

Can't let too many of those types of opportunities go by against LSU.

[JHicks3636]

For LoSer U in the 3rd

7. Jordan     .289
8. Papierski  .255
9. Watson    .318

[onebadrubi]

As mentioned, that second strike to Koch was just a bad call and even announcers said so nicely.  It was inside the chalk of the right handed batters box for people not watching.

[bulldog04]

I expect us to be more aggressive on first pitch the rest of the game

[Razorback7281]

Huge difference in a 2-1 count vs the 1-2 count after the ball inside is called a strike.

[TNhawgfan]

First time we've blown a golden opportunity in a while

[YtownHog]

Pitchers don't normally get rewarded for missing spots bad.  This one has been multiple times.

[CJ HOG]

That strike which was on the white of the batter's box killed that inning for us.  We better get that pitch today.  Instead of it being 2-1 for Koch, it was 1-2 and he had to chase the elevated fastball.

Yeah right...you gotta wear purple to get that zone, I guarantee ya.

[SPAL]

That strike which was on the white of the batter's box killed that inning for us.  We better get that pitch today.  Instead of it being 2-1 for Koch, it was 1-2 and he had to chase the elevated fastball.

You know we won't.

[ucahogfan]

Afraid that inning will come back to haunt us. Terrible about by koch. You have to put it in play.

How was it terrible?  The ump made a horrendous strike call which changed the entire AB for him.  Hard to overcome that.

[MissippHog]

That strike which was on the white of the batter's box killed that inning for us.  We better get that pitch today.  Instead of it being 2-1 for Koch, it was 1-2 and he had to chase the elevated fastball.

This.  If he's going to call that, fine.  Just make sure to call it both ways.

[JHicks3636]

Jordan 0-1 swinging, 0-2 swinging, 1-2 on a ball in the dirt, grounds out to 1B unassisted

[ronmahony]

Yeah they also called a low pitch a ball when we threw it, the exact same pitch was a strike when they threw it.

[ucahogfan]

This.  If he's going to call that, fine.  Just make sure to call it both ways.

Yeah, as long as it goes both ways, I'm good with the zone.  Now if it all LSU, I'll complain big time.

[HamIAm]

whew, that one scared me

[JHicks3636]

Papierski who has the game's strangest name, takes strike 1, 1-1, 2-1, 2-2 swinging, foul, flies out to center(just short of the track)

[JHicks3636]

Watson, the last batter in the LSU order, takes ball 1, hot shot to 3B is fielded and the inning ends

0-0 after 2 1/2

[SPAL]

Gotta good one here boys....

Tigers and Hogs in the finals as it should be.

[HamIAm]

According to the announcer "he can fly."  Maybe, but Tanner English would have beat that out.

[CJ HOG]

Kopps off to a great start today.

[TNhawgfan]

Just flipped over to ESPN2 to check on that game. Anybody else still hate FSU and their old geezer besides me?

[JHicks3636]

Arledge fouls off the first pitch, 0-2 looking, foul, strikes out swinging

[ThisTeetsTaken]

Just flipped over to ESPN2 to check on that game. Anybody else still hate FSU and their old geezer besides me?

I was thinking yesterday that our team this year reminds me of vintage FSU teams.

[CJ HOG]

Can't believe it...they let a young Hog fan announce Arledge as the batter. Good deal.

[TebowHater]

Eric Cole is my man

[JHicks3636]

Cole starts the second time through the order and is 0-1, takes a strike, 1-1, Homerun

1-0 Arkansas

[ucahogfan]

Attaboy Cole!  Sent that one for a ride.  The 80th time the Hogs have done that this year.

[ThisTeetsTaken]

Eric Cole. Dude.

[ronmahony]

First blood, love it!

[razCzar]

WooHoo, Cole!!

[SPAL]

Atta Kid

[trippigs]

Outstanding.....congrats Cole

[TNhawgfan]

Absolutely smoked

[TebowHater]

Just imagine if Koch would wake up and Lee was in the line up...boy oh boy

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

HOMERUN :  E COLE (5)     # 80    SOOOIEVILE SLUGGERS

[Knot2brite]

I wonder if the jackass on tiger drippings who was competing Baum to a bandbox when Cole hit a bomb against LSU is bitching about Hoover being a bandbox
