Hogs vs Washington State—-Baseball

[BleedinRed]

It's two games in.  Not sure we have seen enough appearances at the plate to properly assess the new philosophy.  

[DirkPiggler]

What's the woopig groupthink on the new approach at the plate?

I think we should do more of what we did in game two, and less of the plan from game one.

Dear little 8 pound 6 ounce baby Jesus, lying in the manger. Please take the fear from our bats this game as we offer thee jobu's rum and dorn's bat hats.

This is why we hit better in game 2

What's the woopig groupthink on the new approach at the plate?

17 runs on an opening day played in 40 something degree weather. i'd say it went pretty well.

[Barton Fink]

Wind cost us a few too.

For those of us who haven't paid attention until yesterday, can you fill us in on Iredale? He looks to be the Big Bopper this year. Just from the first day eye test.

Australian who played in JUCO in AZ last year and put up absurd numbers.

On it.

I felt a step slow yesterday with the absence of alcohol in my system. 

[Pig Benis]

I can't get through this basketball game without it.

I can't get through this basketball game without it.

If I don't pace myself during Hog basketball I could bury a twelve pack before halftime. 

I've started mixing in an Athletic every now and again to slow my roll.
