Wish we were doing better, but since we're not I'm gonna say, let's get them tomorrow or have the greatest comeback ever.

[jacobp]

Sure. I have a little time.

[jacobp]

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

Sure. I have a little time.

THX, be back soon

[jacobp]

I can do the rest of the game. I'm mostly listening to broken english right now.

[jacobp]

Anderson walks and Bernal comes in to score. 10-5.

fisher is up, and he's due.

[jacobp]

Fisher flies out to center, run tags and scores and serrano tags from 2nd to 3rd. 10-6 Hogs.

[ricepig]

I think most are like me, disappointed in the effort, errors and walks, tonight. There is nothing wrong with losing a game to a top 15 team, but you have to admit, it hasn't been our best ball playing.

[jacobp]

Wilkerson hbp, took one off the top of the helmet. Bases loaded, 2 out.

Jake Wise to the plate.

C'mon Jake, Tying run to the plate.

[jacobp]

Wise, mentioned earlier he's suffering from flu symptoms, pops out to SS to end the inning.

Hogs get two runs. Headed to the 8th, down 10-6

[UAfan]

I have never seen a more wasted at bat than what Wise just gave.

Midweek guys have been struggling for awhile now...why its been a huge plus, and ESSENTIAL in SEC play, for our starters to go as deep in the games as they have been.

[pccmizuno24]

Yeah pretty freaking sad

[jacobp]

VanMeetren works the count full and walks to leadoff the inning.

Yep, but they need to step up, or next year looks real iffy.

[jacobp]

VanMeetren steals 2nd.

[jacobp]

Torres strikes out for the first out.

runner on 2nd.

[jacobp]

Balk called, runner to 3rd with 1 out.

[jacobp]

Montes K's for out number 2.

[jacobp]

Ellis K's to end the inning. Headed to the bottom of the 8th, 10-6 UNLV.

[tennesseehogwild]

At this point in their U of A Careers, Wise is head and shoulders above bax, IMO. He is struggling at the plate but is coming off shoulder surgery which probably has a little to do with his hitting woes.....Let's cut the guy a little slack..

[jacobp]

Wernes hit by pitch, leadoff runner on with 0 out.

[jacobp]

Bernal flies out to center. 1 out.

And he is sick...did not plan on playing much. No doubt he is frustrated as well

[jacobp]

Tyler Spoon grounds into a 5-4-3 double play to end the inning. Headed to the 9th, down 10-6

[jacobp]

McAllister K's for out number 1

[jacobp]

Armstrong grounds out to Bernal at short. 2 out.

[tennesseehogwild]

UNLV has a pretty good team. wish we could play them in a 3 game series pre conference schedule. Would like to see how their hitters fare against our top 3 guys as well as our hitters against their staff.

[jacobp]

Jones pops out to Spoon in center. Headed to the bottom of the 9th, Hogs down 10-6.


Need some magic to happen.

[jacobp]

Agreed. We've done ourselves no favors. You can't walk as many as we have, give up free runs, and expect to win.

Our midweek guys are going to have to step it up. I'm confident we'll do well in sEC play the rest of the way, but we can't drop so many mid weeks the rest of the way.

Throw strikes and let your defense help you.

[jacobp]

Benintendi out at first, close play as Benintendi went in head first. 1 out. Don't like swinging at the first pitch there.

[tennesseehogwild]

Daaaaamn! The Rebel first basemen has robbed us again.

[jacobp]

Serrano flies out to right center. 2 gone.

Hogs down to the last out, Anderson to the plate.

[Razorbacks#1]

Nice

[jacobp]

Anderson has walked 3 times tonight.

anderson BOOM with a homerun to center. Keeps his hitting streak alive.

10-7 UNLV

that ball is in the pond.

[jacobp]

Fisher flies out to right field, and that's the ball game.

UNLV wins 10-7.

We'll do it again tomorrow night at 6:05.

7 runs should win us almost every game we play.
NO MORE WALKS!

Anderson has walked 3 times tonight.

No wonder they walked him all night.......Go Hogs! let's go get em tomorrow.

[jacobp]

jacobp is now 0-2 doing pbp. son of a....


Thanks for following along everone. Let's get the split tomorrow.

[pigture perfect]

You don't win them all. I bet we come back strong tomorrow. I just hope some of the naysayers find something else to do.

[tennesseehogwild]

Thanx for the PBP...

[snoblind]

Thanks, Jacob

[Team Oklahoma]

Did Bax get hurt on catchers interference or did van horn just pull him?

[jacobp]

Did Bax get hurt on catchers interference or did van horn just pull him?

Hurt on catcher's interference. The only way they planned to use Wise tonight is if they had too.

Bax looked like he was in a lot of pain.

[hogman64]

he seems to have really bad luck with injuries, isn't that the third time he has been hurt this year, while not playing much?

[TikiHog]

Hope Bax is well but we saw tonight why no matter what Wise bats he will be the catcher...Bax had a brutal night behind the plate...we also saw why Spoon is in Center

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

This game followed a super thrilling weekend series against the #1 team in the country in which the Hogs came back and won the series after a heartbreaking 1 run loss in game one. All three starting pitchers and the pen performed in memorable fashion. After Killian suffered another loss due to lack of run support, the staff responded admirably by giving up 1 unearned run in the next 18 innings. The team was focused, enthusiastic and confident at the plate and the bats came alive and scored 11 runs in the last two games.

After a rare two days off in a row, the entire team seemed to have lost that focus and intensity in "this game" and it showed on the mound and in the field.

There really is never an acceptable excuse for just going through the motions and not hustling, but if there was, tonight's game had plenty to chose from. You could chose all or any combination of the following to make a case for a big let down. (1)Coming off an emotional high from beating the #1 team back to back in an almost must win conference series. (2)Having co-pitchers of the week. (3) Non conference Tuesday night game (4)Cold temperatures and 30mph winds (5) going from the largest and rowdiest crowds of the year to what looked like the smallest crowds in quite some time (6) Senior team leader and mainstay catcher out with the flu and a back up that has played little from his own recent injuries that ended up leaving the game injured again (7) starting pitcher pulled from the game after the 2nd inning. The list goes on, but this is already enough to make me think tonight was just not meant to be a good night for the Hogs.

Better days are certainly ahead and I cannot look at this game and find a reason that we will not rebound and return to playing respectable ball very soon......other than a healthy catcher!!!!

[Kevin]

well last night was brutal. let go get them today.

[bighog2255]

Hope Bax is well but we saw tonight why no matter what Wise bats he will be the catcher...Bax had a brutal night behind the plate...we also saw why Spoon is in Center

+1. Hope everyone sees now why its so important to have Wise back there
