WE HAVE OUR FIRST STEAK DINNER WINNER OF THE 2025 SEASON!  As a reminder, whenever a Hog pitcher strikes out the side in an inning (with no baserunners between - three batters, three Ks), one lucky Woopigger is selected to purchase a steak dinner for the Woopig PBP announcer and his family (restaurant to be chosen by the Woopig PBP team).  Today's winner is @hit_that_line!  Congratulations!  Gift certificates will suffice.

It can never be easy.

[DrMongoose]

Foutch was awful today.

I woukd have walked the guy  Furcht as their lineup coming without changes is hitting 231 or less.

What was that Souza?

McEntire in.  Guaranteed tie ballgame incoming.  Wouldn't be surprised if he gives up a three run home run.

[Cornhogio]

I just lost the game feed.  ESPN just spinning.

NM.  Back now.

[BleedinRed]

McEntire pitched big time to limit the damage.

Why pull Coil?
