Two night's in a row that reliever has been useless after the starter

James Teague season stats:

ERA     W-L   App - GS    IP
5.48    2-3    11      1     21.1

[Maddhog]

Looks like we just delayed the 4th inning curse for a 5th inning.   Still amazed that Teague was trotted out there in that situation.

Welp and the wheels fell off again

And your right on cue to tell us

[JHicks3636]

DVH in a real coaching slump as well. It happens.

[Kevin]

Can never get a shut down inning

[Scott7703]

I just don't understand continuing to do the same thing over and over than hasn't worked yet. Maybe we don't have a better option. Frustrating.

Maybe the offense kicks in and puts up another crooked number tonight and we find a way to win.

[Maddhog]

Florida is 31-5 for a reason.   

[tennesseehogwild]

Taco/ Mckinney type pitchers fare better against Gators! They seem to thrive on Alberius/ Teague guys!

We can hope   👍

One more thing.....The home plate ump stinks to the High Heavens! Go Hogs!

[MemphisBossHog]

Rivera...1-0...single to center, 2 runs score, 2 on, still 0 out

5-1 Florida

and there it is.  Going along okay and they just explode.  Hogs just dont have the pitching talent to compete with teams like FLA.  I thought they did, but it is apparent they do not. FLA may be the best team in the nation, so its not like Hog pitchers are horrible, but the Gators are just on another level. 

[JHicks3636]

Vasquez...2-2..strikes out swinging, runner at 1st picked off by the catcher, runner on 3rd, 2 outs

Maldonado...2-2, error on 3B, run scores, man on 1st, 2 outs

6-1 Florida

[JHicks3636]

Runner caught stealing, inning ends

[JHicks3636]

Pennell, Nomura and Arledge up for Arkansas

[tennesseehogwild]

Eagan comes up with that I think!

Guthrie, Liput and Reed (top of the Florida order) bats

[MemphisBossHog]

the Gators sure can put up a crooked number just when you think you might be staying with them

[JHicks3636]

Guthrie...3-2...grounds out to 3B, 1 out

[JHicks3636]

By the way, Teague still pitching

[JHicks3636]

Liput...2-0...singles, moves to 2nd on throwing error by pitcher, man on 2nd, 1 out

[12247]

DVH is like a God to many on here.  But even if he is, his choices, hunches, experienced decisions have met with failure time after time recently.

Doesn't matter who the coach is, who the players are, we are just bad. 

[JHicks3636]

Reed..3-2..walks, 2 on, 1 out

[lefty08]

Reed..3-2..walks, 2 on, 1 out

And the punk move bat flip again haha

[JHicks3636]

Schwarz...1-0...doubles to left center, 2 runs score

8-1 Florida

this is just a talent problem. FLA, Vandy, LSU, South Carolina, and maybe Ole Miss have it.  Hogs do not----or at least not enough of it. 

[JHicks3636]

Chadwick in to pitch

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

By the way, Teague still pitching

Spoke to soon.
Cannon Chadwick coming in to replace Teague.

[JHicks3636]

I think what it is fair to say is that we are losing as a team

[lefty08]

I complained all last week about the quick hook, can't really complain DVH tried to go longer and change it up, but it didn't work. Sometimes it doesn't matter what strings you pull

[TNhawgfan]

Florida is 31-5 for a reason.

And we are about to lose our 7th straight conference game for a reason

[JHicks3636]

Alonso...0-0...singles, runners on the corners, 1 out

[JHicks3636]

India...0-0...grounds out to 3B, runners hold, 2 out

[JHicks3636]

Runner steals 2nd

[JHicks3636]

Rivera...3-2...grounds out to SS on a long at bat, inning over

8-1 Florida

[JHicks3636]

Shaddy, Bonfield and Gassaway due up

[MemphisBossHog]

And we are about to lose our 7th straight conference game for a reason

yep, and the reason is---just not enough talent overall.  Sure we can beat some Big 12 teams early in the season or Rice or a Louisiana school not named LSU, but once conference play starts, its as plain as day what the problem is.  Heck, Missouri beat us twice at vaunted Baum Stadium.  We have been swept by SCarolina, Ole Miss and most likely FLA. I mean how the he!! does Ole Miss get more talent than we do?
