Your Arkansas Razorbacks take on the Portland Pilots (although I doubt any of them can fly a plane) for a three game series beginning this Friday at 3:00. The. The series resumes on Saturday at 2:00 and concludes on Sunday at 12:00 Noon. All games on SECN+ or the ESPN app. FYI, Portland had a WHP pitch a complete, perfect game earlier against Seattle. 90 pitches total. Of course, I don't think he has seen the type of hitting he will see here. As usual, GO HOGS!

I've seen this posted a few times and Google is no help. What is a WHP?

Walks and Hits per inning pitched.

Hognrock

Show-Me is thinking of WHIP which is walks+hits/IP.

WHP is Dirk's way of saying left handed pitcher (Wrong Handed Pitcher).  I'm left handed (and a WHP) and am very offended by his use of that term.  I'll be seeking legal representation for my pain and suffering.

You fuckers bore the hell out of me most days.  I just check in when I've read ALL of Twitter and Facebook AND have all my work done.  Or am not attending a Razorback event.  So about once every 2 weeks.

He was picking his nose behind home plate on Tuesday. 

Notice I don't call our guys wrong handed.  If we didn't have such a history of getting shut down by lefties, especially the ones whose best fastball wouldn't bruise a baby's cheek, they wouldn't get that designation. 

TL/DR:   Take it up with Nate and Dave.

Haha. All good. I've been called it my whole life. Lefties can fuck your day up on a diamond.

I was just pissed they wouldn't let me play infield after 12/13 or so.

I'm cross-wired; write lefty but I'm right eye dominant and throw, kick, bat and golf righty. Shoot a handgun with my right but long guns are more comfortable on the left ( taught myself to shoot from the right because of eye dominance).

Began surgery as a lefty but eventually switched to using my right because almost no scrub nurses know how to load a needle driver for a lefty.

My nephews' 12u team is overloaded with lefties...four of them.  It drives me nuts that they always have at least one of them on the left side of the infield.  It's cost them a couple of games I've seen. 

It's not like they are short on RH kids who could play there either.  To me it's doing those kids a disservice.  When they get to higher level ball they aren't going to have a clue how to play OF.   

Full disclosure...one of my nephews is a lefty, and he either plays OF or 1B when he's not on the mound because that's what his dad taught him and what he thinks is best for his future.  And his RH brother is always either on the infield, pitching or behind the plate, so this isn't sour grapes because I think they ought to be playing elsewhere.

We're similarly wired.

Anything I throw is LH, hit LH. Shoot basketball LH.
Eat, write, hammer a nail, shoot a gun with my RH.
I played tennis when I was young and would serve LH then switch to RH for groundstrokes. My tennis coach said he had never seen that.
Yank my wank with my RH (TMI, I know)
Kick right footed.

Obviously, I would never ever commit onanism  O:-)  (but, if I did, my lead hand would be lefty)   >:D  .
