Damn damn damn 

[mde114]

Fucking choked

[Feral]

We are an abjectly terrible situational hitting team.

[Spiderham]

Just Anti-Clutch.  

[buff2.0]

Same.

I'm afraid we're in the 'stubborn veteran coach refused to change' era of DVH's tenure.

If he ain't been fired yet, he ain't gonna be fired.

[Son of Spam]

Bottom of the eighth.

Culpepper leads off. Grounds out to second. 1 away.

Day flies out to short center. 2 away.

English homers to left. 7-4.

Next up goes down on a check swing.

Them: 7  Us: 4

[Hizog]

Our team has an identity problem. None of them are Homerun hitters, but they all think they are.

Wilmsmeyer might be the only exception. He knows his job is to put the ball in play.

[TC]

I'm seeing a lot of this new ball where coaches are teaching kids to swing up. I had one of them tell me that he's telling everyone he can to stop telling kids to hit the top of the ball, and instead to hit the bottom and swing up instead of level. Its so dumb.

Flat bill bros are the worst.

[buff2.0]

I wonder if that guy swung up.  I bet he swung up.

[Thin Red Swine]

Same.

The irony is their fifth inning was vintage DVH small ball.

If ever we had a team built for small ball, this is it. But we don't play it.

[HOGSRUNWILD]

This is starting to become a trend

[TC]

I wonder if that guy swung up.  I bet he swung up.

That's what happens when it works, but it's high risk.

How many pop-ups have we had again?

[buff2.0]

That's what happens when it works, but it's high risk.

How many pop-ups have we had again?

All of them

[buff2.0]

Them, 7 runs on 5 hits.

Us, 4 runs on 11 hits.

[Thin Red Swine]

Making things slightly less painful, if White's double HAD been a home run, it would've been more of a gut punch to see that one beat us by 1.

At least that's what I'm gonna tell myself.

[Gambler]

Another purple team kicking our ass on our field.

[Son of Spam]

Top of the ninth. Mary Jane's Last Chance.

Aloy leads off. Runs the count full. Singles to left. 1 on.

Diggs goes down swinging, 1 away.

Holt HOMERS to left! 7-6.

Wagner goes down swinging UGLY at one in the dirt after watching 2 down the middle.

Wilmsmeyer walks.

Stovall takes a ball, Wilmsmeyer steals second. Ump fucks us and calls Wilmsmeyer back to first saying Stovall was in the way of the throw. The. Stovall goes down swinging.

We suck: 6   We don't : 7

[Thin Red Swine]

With all the wild things that happened today, this doesn't HAVE to be over.

[buff2.0]

Say we scrap OmaHOGS and call ourselves RegionalHOGS.  Think that tshirt will sell?  Maybe I should stop designing it.

[Sus-Scrofa]

With all the wild things that happened today, this doesn't HAVE to be over.

Except for Diggs strike out.  That was gonna happen no matter what.
