Your Arkansas Razorbacks take on Kansas State this Friday at 7:00PM on FloTV. Then, Saturday, we go against the TCU Horned Toads at 6:00PM. Finally we take on Michigan at 11:00AM on Sunday. All games on FloTV. There will be no PBP from me because FloTV is usually really screwed up. Maybe not this time, but why chance it? Hopefully the 6:00 game doesn't go into extra innings as we have an early game the next day. As usual, GO HOGS!
"You can observe a lot by watching." Yogi Berra
I can take PBP for the Friday game, and maybe Sunday. Definitely out on Saturday.
Yearly reminder that you can sign up for FloSports through some conference landing pages for less than the standard $30 and cancel next week after the tournament is over. I haven't tried it yet, but the Gulf South Conference landing page (https://go.flosports.tv/partner/gulf-south?contract_id=0063m00000i6neeaa2&sp=conf-partner) has it at $14.99 or $9.99 with an .edu address. In the past, these conference subscriptions have included our baseball tournaments.

It's now $19.99 for the monthly option. I thought the quality of the broadcast last year was pretty good.
I signed up through the CAA(?) conference again this year. They did bump the monthly price up to $20. The production looked much better during last weekend's games.

WHASSUP MY PIGGAZ! It's time for Hog baseball!
Tonight your Arkansas Razorbacks take on the Wildcats from the University of Kansas State. First pitch is in about 20 minutes, at or just after 7PM, or whenever FloSports gets their 56K Dial-up modem rebooted.
Sorry for the interruption here, but I have a confession to make. I fucking detest Kansas State, and Kansas, the state. It probably stems from watching dogshit Kansas State teams wearing mismatched uniforms with lavender jerseys and dark purple nuthuggers eliminate Eddie Sutton's Hog teams from the NCAA tournament far earlier than they should have been sent home. The state is uglier than a cat's asshole. Boring as hell, nothing but flat land and amber waves of fucking weeds.
So kindly join me in saying fuck Jack Hartman. Fuck Rolando Blackmon. Fuck Bill Snyder. Double fuck Dana Altman's retarded ass. Manhattan is in New York you stupid fucks. Wheat causes diabeetus. EMAW is a slogan that even Aggies find excessively weird.
Tonight we get revenge for you lucky cunts getting one good swing on the best pitcher in America last June and prematurely ending our season (yeah, I know SEMO, but fuck them too.)

(EDITOR'S NOTE: For those of you who don't keep up closely with Hog baseball recruiting, Martin was committed to us out of the portal for about thirty minutes this offseason.

Souza already has 7 K's through just 3 games played.

Or Diggs. Kozeal should be on the field.
One way to look at our hitting is it's only been 5 games. It's ridiculous to be concerned or upset.
Another way to look at it is through 5 games we look exactly how we have looked for the last 10 seasons.
Either way, there is one common denominator that seems to have nudies of DVH.
Nate Thompson is the baseball equivalent of Scott Fountain.
I feel we are going to waste a lot of good pitching this year. It still looks like all of our guys are swinging for the fences again. I know it is early, but if our hitting doesn't improve, it will be SSDD.
Quote from: Son of Spam on Feb 21, 2025, 09:07 PMDo we have anyone who can play RF and hit better than Diggs?
I should have 4 years of eligibility left. I don't think little league will count against me, I wasn't getting paid.
Bonus, I'll tell Nate Thompson to fuck off when he tries to correct my late swing that always puts a ball over the second baseman's head.

We had good bats with Vitello and the season after he left.
Other than that we are pretty low in the league (and in the country) in all batting metrics.
It's been obvious. It's still obvious. We have the best player development facilities in the country. Thompson is horrendous and should have been let go three years ago.
We waste the best pitching in the country year after year. Hobbs has to see it.

For those interested, Kansas State leads Michigan 5-1 in the bottom of the seventh. I have watched several games and one thing I have noticed is hitters of other teams watch the ball all the way into the catcher's glove. In other words, they focus on the pitch. We seem to be looking out in the field every swing. We don't seem to focus on the pitch much at all.
Remember, you don't win every game in baseball. Every team loses games to teams that are "lesser than" themselves.
We seemed to score a lot of runs in the later games against Washington St. Maybe their pitching is not as good down the line. If we continue not to score from strings of hits but from home runs only, yeah, that's an ongoing concern. Home runs always go along with strikeouts.
Hogs take on TCU at 6:00 PM on Flosports TV. In 2023, TCU faced the Hogs three times and scored 50 runs to our 15. Let's hope for a better outcome tonight. TCU is 5-0 and ranked 23rd. The #5 Hogs are 4-1 after the loss last night to Kansas State 3-2. We have the pitching. We need the bats. I will attempt PBP for those who need it. GO HOGS! Also, as a side note, for those who knew her, Marty Cornell, a HUGE Hog baseball fan, passed away today. May she rest in peace and may the Hogs win a NC in her honor. She hardly ever missed a Hog baseball game.
We need to ask that transfer from tcu if they were stealing our signs. Those 50 runs against that staff were bullshit. One dude doubled his annual hr tally in one game.

Why wasn't little Aloy in the lineup last night, and why isn't he in the lineup today? He's responsible for 75% of our runs scored.

Quote from: Feral on Feb 23, 2025, 11:56 AMI think DVH is trying to get him AB's in the hopes that he finds it, but I think he's cooked. He swings over the top of everything and has zero plate discipline.
Exact same story as last year.
Low and inside is his weakness.
Was that arm related? Couldn't tell here at the game.

2 out of 3 ain't bad. Got to get the bats going consistently.
We were out hit in every game this tournament, and these are not good teams we're facing. Decent, but not good. I do think we have better hitters on the roster than last year, but DVH seems to prioritize defense over hitting. Hopefully we figure it out.

Looks suspiciously that way.
Baseball season always makes me miss Charlie; the lady knew baseball.
Charlie 100% knows baseball. I wish she was here posting. At one point she and her husband (IIRC) had their own board. We need someone to recruit her over here.
Charlie won't ever come back here. I suspect there is way too much negativity for her taste.
