[Dr. Starcs]

Dvh may be thinking we aren't gonna touch houck so might as well save pitching.

[Maddhog]

This is looking seriously like one of those nights. 

[Razorbacks#1]

Knight warming in the pen

[Hawgphish]

This may be one where we save iut bullpen for sunday.

[hogwild32]

Seems like it. Save the bullpen for the series win tomorrow

Sounded a little.....perturbed.....in the between innings interview. Starting Pitching has got to be driving him nuts!

I'm definitely thinking that

He's not exactly jovial on a good night.

[tennesseehogwild]

last batter for McKinney I think!

Missouri's Houck is at 36 pitches.

[PoconoHog]

[TNhawgfan]

Sounded a little.....perturbed.....in the between innings interview. Starting Pitching has got to be driving him nuts!

Starting pitching was a strength last season. This year it's a weakness with 2 of the same 3 guys. Go figure

[PoconoHog]

Knight coming in to pitch for the Hogs

[PoconoHog]

Next batter Lavy...ground ball to SS....error
Bases loaded    2 outs

Edit:  Not sure why they ruled that an error on Bernal.....Shaddy made play for ball and screened out Bernal....Bernal did boot the ball but he had nowhere to throw it if he fielded cleanly

[Kenny Dowell Loggains]

Pathetic performance all around Hogs.

[tennesseehogwild]

(sigh).....If we can somehow make a game of this tonight...We have a special team indeed! Hogs just don't look themselves! Last night I never thought we were out of it!

Uh oh....this ain't looking good

Error leads to 2 more. Can't hardly put it on Knight!

[PoconoHog]

Cole, Shaddy and Gassaway due up for the Hogs in bottom of 4th

[tennesseehogwild]

6 innings to make up 6 runs!

[Maddhog]

All of their (MO) frustration is coming out tonight. 

[jfred59]

I have to say that by that was the best shot of the day

[Knot2brite]

We are in deep darn with our starting pitching. Freshmen struggling I can understand. McKinney isn't ready from the injury or lack of offseason etc. and I have no idea why they keep running him out there. Taco is the one that baffes the crap out of me. There has to be a couple guys that can give us 5+ on this team.

[DiamondHogFan]

Starting rotation will look very different next weekend.  Something has to change.  Taco and McKinney are not getting it done.

[PoconoHog]

Cole.....count 1 - 1.....count 1 - 2.....count 2 - 2.....full count.....K's swinging
1 out     Shaddy to the plate

[PoconoHog]

Shaddy.....pops out to 1B
2 outs     Gassaway to the plate

[PoconoHog]

Gassaway.....count 0 - 1.....count 0 - 2.....count 1 - 2.....count 2 - 2.....full count.....flies out to RF to end the inning
Heading to top of 5th
Tigers lead 6 - 0

[PoconoHog]

7-8-9 batters due up for the Tigers in top of 5th

[hawgrunner]

don't know if we can pull this one out... 

[Razorbacks#1]

don't know if we can pull this one out... 

I think so. GO HOGS!

[PoconoHog]

Lead-off batter Benes...count 0 - 2...count 1 - 2...pops out to catcher in foul ground
1 out

[Knot2brite]

The Mizzou pitcher has left a couple pitches up ( not many) and we have to exploit those when he gives them. Gassaway has had a couple great contact swings off him but nothing to show for it. The only way to get to him is to find that mistake and hope we can get to their bullpen early

[hawgrunner]

I think so. GO HOGS!

Let's hope your right!

Got 'em right where we want 'em!
