Hogs vs UT Arlington

[buff2.0]

"I don't need ESPN.com, I'll just log onto Woopig to see how badly we're kicking UT Arlington's ass today."

The things I tell myself a minute before the sadness sets in.

Through 7, we have one guy that can hit.  No surprise who it is.

We can't hit the ball past the pitcher's mound.

[BleedinRed]

Looked up our stats, all I can say is wow we are bad at the plate.  Amazing really.  Watch us win the SEC and NC.   

[Show-Me Hog]

So, don't book anything in Omaha yet?

I have reserved a hotel room in Indianapolis for Saturday night April 4.

It is cancelable.

Losing to a 2-6 WAC team. SMH.

[Feral]

Bubba on the radio after UTA put up 2 runs in the 1st — "2 runs isn't going to win this game."

True. Only needed 1.

Can we hire the UTa pitcher?  Great game.  

[Sus-Scrofa]

Can we hire the UTa pitcher?  Great game. 

To be fair, that's hard to tell.

[BEvERage]

This team is god awful

[BleedinRed]

To be fair, that's hard to tell.

Well, he has thrown 120+ pitches today.  Arm is probably ruined now.  

[BleedinRed]

I'm going to feel bad for their pitcher when we come back and win.  

[Feral]

We were 2 hit by their starter through 8.2.

We are going to get destroyed by SEC pitching.

[Barton Fink]

Sigh...

[BleedinRed]

Softball is about to start.  I hear they are good.  

[Show-Me Hog]

Softball is about to start.  I hear they are good. 

I think we have a couple of women's basketball games left.

Softball sounds preferable

Gaeckle sucked today (allowed 2 base runners in 5 of his 6 innings). An SEC lineup drives those runners in, runs him earlier, and makes the score look a lot worse than it was.

Brumbaugh is now batting under .100 and needs to sit. We can't have 4 automatic outs at the bottom of the lineup in him, Pompey, Souza and Niu.

Pompey and Souza are both under the Mendoza Line at .176 and .194, respectively.

I brought this up during the game, but in the 2nd or 3rd inning, ESPN showed a stat but comparing our offensive stats through our first 9 games in 2025 and this year.

BA - down 20 points
Hits - way down
RBI - way down
Runs - way down
Strikeouts - WAY up (like 30 more this year)

I've said this as nauseum, but this team is not good. I have zero faith in the lineup turning it around, and our rotation is shaky.

Right now this team feels like a 3 seed in someone else's regional, and that's only if this isn't a redux of 2016.

With the hitting in its current state, I'd be surprised to see us in a regional at all. SEC pitching is going to boofoo this lineup.
