Hogs vs Kentucky—-Baseball

[DirkPiggler]

Somebody will have to take over PBP tomorrow and Sunday. I will be watching on my phone.

I'll take care of today.

[piglosopher]

Agreed. I've been struck by similar thoughts lately like "damn, I think I'm taking for granted how good this guy is."

We've seen some great pitchers come through this program, but none have been better than Hagen. Ironically, my favorite memory ever of him hasn't been from a start, but making Roc Riggio take a knee with a with the bases loaded in the Stillwater Regional finals in 2022. 

How could we forget twinkle toes cocksucker.

I may be a little late getting started on PBP.  Stuck waiting out a thunderstorm my bike.   Going to be cutting it close to get back in time. 

If someone could drop the lineups in here I would appreciate it.

This ump has an incredibly tight strike zone, both ways.

Looks to be about 50/50 red and blue in the stands, am I wrong?

[Son of Spam]

Dammit, Lovich.

[BleedinRed]

Lovich didn't even reach back to find the fence.  

[Show-Me Hog]

Not easy but that play could have been made.

[Son of Spam]

Tygart don't seem to have it today. Of course, his fielders aren't helping him out much.

[rzrbkfan69]

Two different instances where we should have been out of the inning without any runs scoring.

[Gambler]

Tygart don't seem to have it today. Of course, his fielders aren't helping him out much.

Yeah, we should be out of this inning with no runs.

[DirkPiggler]

Not easy but that play could have been made.

Not easy, but should have been routine.
