Hogs vs Bama——Baseball

[DirkPiggler]

Interesting, that's good to know. I didn't remember that at all. I know there's a lot that goes into it, RPI, SOS, etc that I didn't mention. Our poor road record just stood out to me. Then when I saw SC, A&M and UK still left for road games, and the odds of us dropping those series, I decided to look and see what most National seeds did last year.

Either way, I hope we turn it around this weekend.

1-2 @ Florida
1-2 @ OleMiss
0-3 @ MSU
1-2 @ LSU
1-2 @ Georgia

We made up for it by sweeping every home series except for the one against South Carolina who we beat two out of three.

We still have road series against Kentucky and Texas A&M. I don't feel confident about winning those right now. So, the South Carolina series this weekend is huge.

I'll be at the Kentucky series, so you can count that one as a W. I won't let them lose that series.

I just hope all the teams left on our schedule have also peaked.

I think this mid week series will tell us something about how we handle adversity. We need to win both.

You should skip one of the games and drive a little west down I-64.  I hear there is a big horse race that Saturday (although I'd recommend going Friday or even Thursday if you want to see the track better).

I'm sure HTL would love to meet you.

If you're committed to helping, you might as well bring a bat you like to swing just in case.

You have that backwards. I would love to meet HTL.

I always show up in uniform too. I'll be ready and I'll ensure DVH is aware I'm available. I do have eligibility, so that won't be an issue.

If we end up with 20 conference wins, we're a top-8 seed.  That's all that matters.

Ummmmmmm.

Maybe we just chalk it up to a starter who isn't ready but the bats are still shitty.

It's the thought that counts.

Did I hear correctly that the Tech pitcher is normally a Friday night starter?

I went back on their schedule and didn't see that Erdman had started any Friday games for them. I did only go back to March 8th though.

You heard the opposite. They said the Hogs were not facing a Friday night starter.

Ok, thanks.  Wasn't sure.

[Show-Me Hog]

Ok, thanks.  Wasn't sure.

Said in the context of, "there's a chance to get some runs to make up this large deficit." Which happened. So kudos to the announcing.
