Tech-Arkansas Game 1

[Designated Hitter]

We walked way too many early, probably more than starting pitcher for Arkansas. Hopefully, both do better. Can't blame weather as others threw more strikes.

Good post DH. How many scouts were there? 75 as Hogs says?

The teams are well-matched and I expect a Dog win on Cox TV tomorrow.

Tonight, I had Dave calling the game upstairs on the G5 MAC and the Arkansas announcer calling the game downstairs on Cox channel 53, which is a part of the Arkansas Radio Sports Network.

Dave remains the BEST!

Anyone have any pictures from tonight's game?

75 scouts? Must be scouting for some foreign leagues, too?

How many Tech girls will be delivering the moonshine to the HOGS' motel? Good night for it! Remember Boise 2001!

No where close to 75 scouts. Just a few more than Dave's estimate, including 4 part timers.

Thanks, that is what I assumed. I forgot about SEC inflation 20-25 turns into 70 or so.

i think there was about 30 scouts i talked to most of them just seeing where they were from . . . never found the yankees guy so . . . but that game was great until i got hit with the ball . . . haha but its all good!

So I really have to know. Did their catcher actually get hit 2 times? From my view he was faking the HBP on both occasions. BTW wasn't Arkansas the team that last year at an SEC game or in the tournament tried to fake getting hit by a pitch and got caught? If so I wonder if it is the same guy.

Burnett walks in another 2-2

And another 3-2 Arkansas

From all of the booing it sounds like the Pigs are getting some help from the blue.

Dawg fans just trying to help.

The ump behind the plate was horrble....he knew what a strike meant....just didn't know where his zone was.

[OmahaDawg]

I assume that he was horrible for both teams? Correct?

Of course I wasent at the game.

Waste of money goin all that way.

Too cold also, we played like a crap.

Van Horn wasent happy but its cold and it happens.

Should roll tomorrow.

Yes, you need more offense, but your facing a Top 5 prolly Top 3 pitching staff.

Schmidt wasn't all that great.....Your staff did not prove what you said, but you weren't at the game...so what do you know??

The cold was probably affecting the home plate ump's eyesight as his strike zone was not consistent. He missed calls both ways.

This was the 2nd coldest baseball game I have ever attended.
