Hogs vs Texass - Baseball

[Son of Spam]

Ha! The catcher ran into a brick Iredale wall.

He nearly knocked himself out and Iredale didn't even move.

Someone will need to take PBP tomorrow. Let's get the sweep!

So proud of this team.  They were dead in the water a week ago.  Now they are returning to form.  

I'm definetly eating a pot full of crow right now.

One of the best rebound series wins I can remember.

Best comment tonight was made on The Rant. 

When talking about Texas after the fuckup on the double play, a Ranter wrote the following:

"They're aggies in orange"

[Hizog]

Todd Walker is the most insufferable person in college baseball. He absolutely cannot give Arkansas credit for anything. "Texas gave Arkansas the game"

Texas scores 1 run in 18 innings, but they gave us the game. 

[BleedinRed]

Texas absolutely cut its own throat last night.  We obviously pitched great but all but one of our runs came on Texas walking or hitting a batter.  They played uncharacteristically bad last night. 

That game should have been a 2-1 final going either way.

Good point on the hit batters, but drawing walks is a skill.  It hasn't been all that long ago when it was a talent our batters didn't have and our hitting coach couldn't or wouldn't teach. 

We probably could have had a couple more CWS appearances and maybe a title had we mixed in some plate discipline to go along with all those arms in the late 2000s-early 2010s.

[BleedinRed]

For sure our guys didn't give them anything easy.  

Let's see if we can solidify the dominance today by sweeping!

Looks more like we are finally playing teams with a pulse and finding out we aren't that good.

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.

Oh, and just took the series from the #1 team in the nation.

Have your eyes been opened yet?

HaVe YoUr EyEs OpEnEd YeT?? 

Once again, dumb narrative.

Aloy keeps amazing me. The play he made where he caught the ball going away from first, was in the air, and threw the guy out without bouncing the throw to first. And he has done that several times this year. He may be the best SS we have e ever had.

Totally agree. He can hit and is elite in the field. Best we've had IMHO.

We left like 50 baserunners and the bases full like 8 times.  The game could have been 15-1 as easily as 2-1

[Hizog]

If Texas offense had scored 4+ runs, then I would agree their walks, hbp and mental errors cost them the game, but when they score 1 run in 18 innings, the game is already decided. Anything else just changes the amount they lose by. It's a slight to Root and Wood to suggest Texas lost the game and that's why I have a problem with Todd Walker. Those were special pitching performances.

[Usafhawg]

Maybe we're getting walked because they're afraid to pitch to us. What if they threw strikes and we hit 4 more home runs?

Battles was the best defensive SS we had had, but I agree. Aloy is right there with him on defense and a much better bat.

True.  But we leave 50 baserunners on base every game.

Regardless, I'm not saying we didn't earn the victory.  I'm simply saying Texas helped us out a lot more than we helped ourselves.

If that's the case then most games are won by the other team making more mistakes.  Getting on base is a big part of how good teams win.  The teams with the highest team OBP generally win the most games.

Looks like a good day for baseball up there
