Hogs vs Florida—-Baseball

[DirkPiggler]

Good grief. My grandson went 3-3 today with a single and 2 doubles, drove in 4 runs and threw a guy out trying to steal third. 9 years old. We can't even throw a guy out trying to steal third.

Any chance he could get to Gainesville in time to replace Helfrick for the last inning or two?

[DirkPiggler]

Top 7th.

PITCHING CHANGE:  Clemente in for McNeillie.

Davalan, who needs a slumpbuster right about now if anyone has a fat girl's phone number to send his way, strikes out swinging at a fastball at his visor.  1 out.

Aloy the Elder reaches on an infield hit to SS.  Runner on 1st, 1 out.

Kozeal lines out to CF.  Something we haven't seen in a while...solid contact.  Runner on 1st, 2 outs.

Iredale, who could also use a slumpbuster if you know one, misses two hanging sliders (fouled them off) strikes out looking at a fastball outer half.  3 outs.

Mid 7th.  Please don't run rule us 7, Probably done 5.

Any chance he could get to Gainesville in time to replace Helfrick for the last inning or two?

And, he ran about halfway towards first in foul territory and caught a pop up for an out. He is a heck of a catcher.

The Aloy brother need to put their toes on the batters box line towards the plate. That is the only way they are going to have a chance to hit those outside pitches called strikes.

[BleedinRed]

I will go ahead and predict that we will lose the last three SEC series after losing this one.

I wrote during the A&M series that Florida might be the last series we win this year.  We might win two games here on out.  This team is done. 

[Cardiac Hog]

How do you say "disappointment" in Australian?

I wrote during the A&M series that Florida might be the last series we win this year.  We might win two games here on out.  This team is done. 

We may even lose to Mo. State. We play them AT their place.

[DirkPiggler]

Bottom 7th. 

PITCHING CHANGE:  Dylan Carter in for McEntire

Donay grounds out to Iredale. 1 out.

Scripling flies out to CF.  2 outs.

Evans hits one to Pensacola.  8-5 them.  2 outs.

Yost flies out to RF.  3 outs.

End 7th.  8-5 them.

[BleedinRed]

There it is!  Really thought it would be McEntire who gave it up though. 

[Son of Spam]

We have a habit of giving other teams a "first". Dudes first HR. I have never seen a team look so good the first half of the season and look as bad as we do now. I am about to give up. I may become a track and field fan.

[DirkPiggler]

Top 8th.

Aloy 2 hits one that should've been over the CF fence, brought back by Yost.  Yeah, God hates us.  1 out.

Fraser grounds to 1st. 2 outs.

Helfrick walks.  Runner on 1st, 2 outs.

Boles, pinch hitting for Diggs, singles to RF.  Runners 1st and 2nd, 2 outs.

Thomas flies out to the wall in RF.  3 outs. 

Mid 8th.  Cursed by a moron head coach 8, Cursed by God 5

[Boarat]

Wiggins TJ surgery incoming.

[Son of Spam]

Snakebit.

[BleedinRed]

Once again, so close.  

Oh well, there is always next year.  

[Piggielicious]

This narrative is dumb. We swept Vandy (on the road), who is ranked, and took 2 out of 3 (on the road) against a ranked Ole Miss team.

Have your eyes been opened yet?

[Son of Spam]

Obi Won Van Horn was our only hope. Nothing can help us now.

[DirkPiggler]

Bottom 8th.

NATO flies out to LF. 1 out.

Boser singles to CF.  Runner on 1st, 1 out.

Boser with a delayed steal.  What the fuck is our infield doing?  Runner on 2nd, 1 out.

Lawson takes strike three for a walk.  At this point I don't even have the energy to be pissed about the call.  Runners 1st and 2nd, 1 out.

Heyman walks.  Bases loaded, 1 out. 

PITCHING CHANGE:  Tate McGuire in for Carter.  Guess he gets to give up the grand slam. 

Seer grounds to Fraser, textbook double play ball...booted.  Got the force at 2nd.  Run scores.  9-5 them.  Runners 1st and 3rd, 2 outs.

Donay flies out to CF.  3 outs.

End 8th.  9-5 them.

[BleedinRed]

Another steal and another "the infield was asleep" comment. 

[DirkPiggler]

Obi Won Van Horn was our only hope. Nothing can help us now.

I'm down on Hobbs right now.  People act like he's some fucking pitching whisperer.  We hear about all the pitching depth, yet here we are giving up at least eight runs on a Sunday to a shit ass lineup.  Most of us could've gotten Hagen Smith drafted in the first round.  Our pitching this year has underachieved every bit as much as our hitting ever did under Thompson.  Hell, last year too.  He's built his rep on a Golden Spikes worthy year from two guys, in years where we didn't even make it to Omaha.

[Sus-Scrofa]

I think we score 6 in the 9th and win this one
