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).

JHicks3636 will provide the play-by-play narrative for this game.  A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S, , ucaHogfan, sir-pigs-a-lot, JHGiunta, Wisco Pig, HogFansReunited, Arkansas Traveler, Maddhog and Razorbacks#1, will assist with stats, back up, and support. We hope that the many other regular posters will join in also and continue to add quality input. If you are new to the Extra Innings - Razorback Baseball Game Threads and you understand the rules, feel free to join in the conversations.

Go RAZORBACKS!

Hope to see everyone tomorrow! Go HOGS!

[hoofer]

Do we know who is set to start on mound for us the next few games?

[Razorbacks#1]

Do we know who is set to start on mound for us the next few games?

I have no info as of yet.

[pigture perfect]

Hoping A_R_K_  is doing alright.

[Razorbacks#1]

Hoping A_R_K_  is doing alright.

He's fine and will be back soon.

[Bogey Golf]

Do we know who is set to start on mound for us the next few games?

DVH announced Caleb Bolden would start on Wednesday.  Thursday is open for now.  They will decide after Wednesday's game. Then the weekend rotation will be Knight, Campbell and Murphy.

[hogwild04]

Looks like we may see a lot of Bolden, Jackson and Bonnin in the weekday games,  Get the three some experience,  solid future,

[hogwild04]

I would like to see Jackson Rutledge start to see how far he can go, Bonnin will be used as a set up guy and closer.

[Kevin]

Hope we get the game in tomorrow

[BroyledNutts]

We'll get it in ... the forecast has shifted somewhat - looks like the bulk of the rain will occur I-40 and south ... will be overcast, and low 60s, with a small chance of drizzle or a brief shower during the game.

Which, the way forecasting goes, means 10" of rain and 35* ... if you're coming to the game from south of Fort Smith please drive safely ... there could be some rocky thunderstorms and flash flooding coming up AND going home ... need all of you around for the whole season.

[pigture perfect]

He's fine and will be back soon.

I have kept him on my prayer list since his wife passed. He is such a great guy. Just concerned.

[RagingHawgOn]

Just a shout out to all you guys who make this forum so great. I don't post a lot in here but am a huge baseball fan who appreciates the great baseball discussions/game threads.

WPS!!

[Knot2brite]

I have kept him on my prayer list since his wife passed. He is such a great guy. Just concerned.

Same here with me. When I don't see him on here I worry. I don't message him or bother him because I don't want to invade his space.

[Tony Perkis]

Let's go boys! I'll be stuck at work today, but I'll try to sneak the stream in.

[onebadrubi]

Be interesting to see how the pitching rotation and how long each will go in the two "mid week" games with having 5 games in 5 days

[Baconomics]

4 hours before the first pitch and the radar does NOT look promising...

[CSCSW]

4 hours before the first pitch and the radar does NOT look promising...

Few radars I've looked at that have a "future" button on them project the rain to push south and be out of Fay by 3.

[onebadrubi]

4 hours before the first pitch and the radar does NOT look promising...

Weather channel shows It moving out around 1 and raining again around 11 or midnight.  Might be a wet field but they should be getting the game

[Razorbacks#1]

Same here with me. When I don’t see him on here I worry. I don’t message him or bother him because I don’t want to invade his space.

He texts me or PMs me when he will be unable to do the Game Thread. Hopefully he'll be available by tomorrow or the weekend. And yes, he is a great hog fan and person.

[HogFansReunited]

WPS! Hope the weather is better in Fayetteville than it is down here.

[JHicks3636]

Looks like light rain going on in Fayetteville now. If you trust the radar it looks like there will soon be a break in the rain. Would appear to be a matter of the condition of the field. We should soon know.

[JHicks3636]

3:20 for the first pitch. Delay due to the earlier rain. They decided to wait to pull the tarp until the rain completely stopped. Should be no rain during the game.

[JHicks3636]

Congrats to the HOGS basketball team for the last 2 big wins. Also to the Razorbacks' Womens' Track and Field team for bringing home another SEC Championship. The Men fell just short finishing 2nd by 3 points.
