Your Arkansas Razorbacks take on the Grambling Tiger, again, tomorrow at 6:00PM on the SECN+ and ESPN app. Hopefully we can make this a 7 inning game again and get ready for Missouri. After a great series sweep of Vandy, I think this can be done. Game will be in Little Rock. As usual, GO HOGS!
On being told by the wife of NY mayor John Lindsay that he looked cool despite the heat, he replied, " You don't look so hot either." Yogi Berra.

Purple Hayes grounds out to short, 1 down

It might be racist to keep calling the Gambling pitcher for slow play violations, except the home plate ump is black as well so I think we're good.
Bottom 2
Anderson (playing 1st) knocks the hell out of it almost all the way to the second baseman, shockingly does not beat the throw. 1 down.
Diggs (playing rf) strikes out swinging on 4 pitches. 2 outs
Fraser (playing 2nd) strikes out swinging
Hogs lead 1-0 after 2
Apparently, sitting hasn't helped Diggs any.

Pitching change. This pitching change brought to you by the cute beer maid in right field that will be pouring one for iredale because he hit wernes.

I think Diggs is a lost cause at this point. He was horrendous both at the plate and in the field during the Missouri State game and it doesn't seem to have gotten better.
Of course he'll probably hit 3 walkoff homers this weekend now because I said that.
Seems to be a pretty cool stadium.

Yeah, I don't know what pitch he is looking for, but he watched 2 right down the gut and then swung at a high one. His usual MO.

100% broadcast. It's almost like I'm watching it via an over the air antenna. I keep thinking I need to have my kid go out and rotate the damn thing.

Yeah it's not the cameras it's the feed. Tried both the Roku and Apple TV and a lot of chop and digitalization.
It's ridiculous in this current world and it can be this bad.
Just caught a good view of the field. Did the grounds crew not know this game was on the schedule? Bare patches everywhere.

The core issue is that Diggs takes WAY too much, gets into disadvantage counts quickly, and then starts pressing.
The book is out that you can throw a meatball right down Broadway on the first pitch and he's not taking the bat off his shoulder. Then pitch him low and away to get to 0-2, and then you can throw anything you want.
Diggs just swung through a fastball to strike out again.
This broadcast is making my eyes bleed.
It's pissing me off.
Quote from: BASS on Apr 01, 2025, 06:46 PMDiggs up. Strikes out swinging on three straight pitches.
Love the kid, but he's as cooked as any experienced senior I've ever seen.
