Your Arkansas Razorbacks take on the Methouri Tigers for a three game series supposedly starting tomorrow at 7:00PM on the SECN. The series might resume at 6:00PM Saturday and may finish up on Sunday at 2:00PM. The last two games will be on SECN+ and the ESPN app. The Tigers are 0-9 in conference play so we do not need to be their slump busters. I really don't expect any of these games to be played at the times or dates listed due to weather, so we will see. As usual, GO HOGS!

Due to the weather and the uncertainty of the start times I won't be in attendance for any of these games. Depending on when they start I should be able to take at least one or two of them for PBP.

Sounds good.
Watched the Tigers narrowly escape the UAPB Lions last night. Won on a walkoff hit in the ninth. They are not good.
Sadly, this might get wiped out by weather.

Damn, was looking forward to watching tonight after a long week.
I can't complain about a Saturday doubleheader, though.
First game postponed. No plan yet for when it will be played.

Surely it's tomorrow. SEC travel curfew rules make Sunday doubleheaders tough.
There supposed to be a break in the rain from roughly 1-9pm tomorrow. That should be sufficient enough to squeeze in a DH.
The rain looks like it's back Sunday morning and won't ease up until noon.

Oh wow. I watched a bit of that game early and UAPB was ahead by a few runs as I remember. I forgot to go back and check in.
Looks like a game tomorrow at 4:00 and then a seven inning double header Sunday starting at 1:00.
Looks like a game Sat at 4:00 then a DH on Sunday starting at 1:00, both games of the DH will be 7 innings.
SoS beat me to the punch.
Quote from: Thin Red Swine on Apr 04, 2025, 05:29 PMOh wow. I watched a bit of that game early and UAPB was ahead by a few runs as I remember. I forgot to go back and check in.
Yeah, Lions jumped out to a 5-0 lead. Mizz tied it up in the 8th and won it in the 9th.
Against all odds, it appears that your Arkansas Razorbacks are going to play baseball today! Your opponent is a foe that will undoubtedly hurt our RPI and all metrics involved in determining host status, the University of Missourah - Columbia Tigers. A team that not even Jesus loves. The school that killed Bob Holt. Meth. Letters instead of numbers on their highways. More meth.
First pitch will be on or just after 4PM God's Country Time (GCT) from the friendly confines of Baum-Walker Stadium.

While perusing the Missouri notable alumni page on Wikipedia, I happened to notice one in particular that they must be proud of, as she's listed as the first name in the Military, Politics and Government, and Science and Technology sections.
Huda Salih Mahdi Ammash.
Not exactly a household name, I'll grant you that. Her claim to fame was being in charge of Saddam Hussein's WMD program (when they actually had one). She was also a member of Hussein's Revolutionary Command Council, and one of the 55 most wanted (remember the playing cards?) when we invaded Iraq.
In other words, Missouri educated the woman responsible for gassing the Kurds and other atrocities. Not quite as bad a look for them as giving Pat Forde a journalism degree, but it's close.
(EDITOR'S NOTE: In what I'm sure is a completely unrelated move, the Razorbacks have declared this series Military Appreciation Weekend.)

It's easy to get down on him. He has some FUGLY at bats. But Souza has been a lot better of late. And if our worst hitter hits .220-ish with power, we could be in a lot worse shape. It's worth letting him keep getting at bats for upside in the future if nothing else.

HOGS WIN 21-3! Most runs by the Hogs against an SEC opponent since DVH has been the head coach.
21 runs on 14 hits is a very unusual line score, above about age 12.
Aggy beat Tennessee in game one today 9-3, and leads 11-2 14-2 in the 5th in the finale.
Hate to get presumptuous, but if the Hogs can take care of business tomorrow and Aggy doesn't Aggy we could be looking at #1 on Monday.

They will hit another streak. And Kozeal and Maxwell will have a hitless weekend. Davalan too.
Quote from: Show-Me Hog on Apr 05, 2025, 07:14 PM21 runs on 14 hits is a very unusual line score, above about age 12.
I was about to say the same. This reminded me of a few of my son's 9U and 10U games with the sheer number of walks, HBPs, and errors.
What they walk in or bring in on a hit batter, ten runs. It was ridiculous.
I may be running a bit late for game one PBP if someone else wants to do it.
Either I can pick it up when I get back (hopefully by first pitch) or I can take Game 2.
I will take game one.
Quote from: Son of Spam on Apr 06, 2025, 12:07 PMI will take game one.
Thank you. I'll pick up the second one.
Welcome to the second game of our three game series with the Methheads of Missouri. Series to be concluded after this game. I will be your PBP guy today, taking over for the very good PBP guy, Dirk. My ESPN app keeps rebooting, so I may miss a play every now and then. Probably under water. We have had about 20 something inches here since last Wednesday.

@Son of Spam for the outstanding job as always in the first game.

I was listening to Diggs' AB on the radio while doing some stuff around the house.
Bubba was trying to be nice, but didn't mince words about how you cannot watch that 3-1 meatball right down Broadway, especially when you're hitting in the .100s. Basically said that's a textbook slump buster pitch and Diggs never took the bat off his shoulder.
He and Phil both agreed that if anyone in the outfield is out, Boles is the one who's earned the opportunity given how terrible Diggs has been this year.
I love the kid appreciate what he's done throughout his career, but he's as washed as any player I've ever seen.

It's sad, but that injury broke him...if not physically, then mentally.
I suspect Boles will be in the lineup for game two. He has the potential to be our Charlie Welch down the stretch.

Damn Kozeal
Baseball needs a surrender option.
Pwr Phil, Davalan has had an AB in all but 3 innings in this series.

Also noteworthy from Phil is that Helfrick is 6-6 with 3 doubles in this series. Literally hasn't had an out.

Boles might've been our best hitter last year outside of Stovall.

Yeah, if a nine inning game can be over in seven, a seven inning game should be over in 5 if you are ahead by 7.

Quote from: Hogfan58 on Apr 06, 2025, 06:51 PMMizzou is horrid
While highly unlikely since baseball is a sport where weird things happen from game to game, it wouldn't shock me if they went 0-30 in conference.
Even the teams with bad records (e.g. Florida, South Carolina) have very good talent. Mizzou is a glorified Division II team.

51-9 over 21 innings is kind of wild.
51 runs in 18 innings (essentially 2 full games). Unreal
Quote from: Show-Me Hog on Apr 06, 2025, 07:19 PM51-9 over 21 innings is kind of wild.
We only hit in 18. Even more impressive.
It would be more impressive if they did this in football.
We seem to be a very well rounded team.
With that said, real baseball starts next weekend. Our schedule here on out is pretty stiff.
That was probably the worst SEC team we will ever see. You can't control who's in the other dugout, but we did exactly what you're supposed to do to a horrible team. If we had struggled to beat them or to score on them it would've been cause for concern.
When was the last time we have an offense that had 12 games that were mercy ruled? So far, 36% of our games end in mercy rule. I wish Charliehog was around to enlighten us.
