[ricepig]

2 run HR, Taccolini hung one.

[GatorHog]

2 run HR, Taccolini hung one.

Pshhh, it was the wind

[booogaga]

Well hopefully we can hit a couple HR today as well. Sounds like the wind is blowing out pretty hard.

[MemphisBossHog]

2 run HR, Taccolini hung one.

ouch!

[bighog2255]

Taco struggling with this lineup the 2nd time through it. Probably on a short leash from here on out

[JHicks3636]

On a 1-2 pitch

[GatorHog]

Vasquez gets a base hit, still 1 down

[SPAL]

Rick made it sound like a no doubter

[ricepig]

Rick made it sound like a no doubter

It was, Serrano just turned around and watched it, well hit and a big wind.

[GatorHog]

Vasquez advances to 2nd on a WP

[JHicks3636]

Tacco has had the last 3 batters at 1-2 counts. Has given up a walk, homer, single. Needs to find that out pitch.

[GatorHog]

Strike out #5 for Tacco, 2 down, man on second

[ricepig]

Bad hop single scores another as it bounces over Eagan.

[JHicks3636]

And on the next batter gets the K on a 1-2 pitch

[GatorHog]

UCF 3
Hogs 1

[ricepig]

Tacco has had the last 3 batters at 1-2 counts. Has given up a walk, homer, single. Needs to find that out pitch.

Yep, needs to keep throwing the sinker.

[SPAL]

Well, we need to hit a while now. Should get to the pen soon.

[Kevin]

[GatorHog]

And Eagan grounds out on the first pitch he sees.

[MemphisBossHog]

23 pitches that inning for Tacco. Up to 64 after 3.

on pace for 192 pitches in 9.  LOL.   Middle relief needs to be getting ready

[bighog2255]

Taco needs to give us one more inning at least. 8-9-1 up for UCF

[GatorHog]

Serrano down on strikes, 2 down

[GatorHog]

Beni flies out to deep center

[JHicks3636]

Only 9 pitches for Rodgers that inning as we are letting him settle in. He is at 63 after 3.

[ricepig]

We need a shut down inning, UCF pitcher seems to have found a groove. Hopefully, he has a short leash.

[MemphisBossHog]

Beni flies out to deep center

well that was quick.  Come on Taco, need to hold em to the 3 they have and thats it.

[ricepig]

Ump has a tight zone, and inconsistent.

[SPAL]

I have a bad feeling tacco is about to implode.

[bighog2255]

Taco at 80 pitches, does he go another?

I would guess no. 3-4-5 coming up, and DVH doesn't typically let his guys throw a ton of pitches this early in the season

[ricepig]

Anyone warming in the Hog bullpen?

They sent several down there, I don't know if any started pitching.

[MemphisBossHog]

alright.  Lets tie it up this inning or at least push one run across.  Lets get the bats going a la "vs North Dakota style."

[GatorHog]

Spoon goes down on a grounder

[JHicks3636]

19 pitches that inning and Tacco stands at 87 through 4
