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).

Veteran play-by-play man, PoconoHog plans to provide play-by-play narrative for this game.  Razorbacks #1 and I look forward to assisting as needed for this game and hope that the many others will continue to bring quality input to the game threads. JHicks should be able to provide pitching stats and other information. GHG!

Dynamic Duo
Mizzou's top two pitchers - Reggie McClain and Tanner Houck are arguably the top 1-2 punch in any pitching rotation in the SEC, which makes them one of most feared in the nation. So far this season, the duo is a combined 5-2 with a combined 1.90 ERA in 90.0 innings, allowing just 70 hits and 12 walks with 91 strikeouts. Since each came to Mizzou last season, they have pitched more innings than any than any duo in the SEC (291.2 IP) and have a combined 3.02 ERA and a combined 262-43 strikeout-walk ratio. They are a combined 21-14 in wins and losses as well.

Don't think I have seen Cole in a while.  I may have just overlooked him.  That's interesting.  Hope DVH is pulling the right strings tonight.  Will be tough sledding against Houck.

Think Bonfield found himself temporarily back in the doghouse last night

[Maddhog]

Hope Keaton is settling down.

[ThisTeetsTaken]

Got 'em just where we want 'em.

lol yep. 

[Cornfed Pig]

Well let's get one back

[PORKULATOR]

The announcers are working over Houcks junk right now.

[tennesseehogwild]

Patience I believe is the key tonight!

[Blutoblutarsky]

Wish we had some starting pitchers. We're just running out hopefuls. Vandy has a middle relief lefty throwing 95 and we can't even recruit one to throw mid 90's.  Jackson tops out at 93 all herky jerky
