re: *2024 ARKANSAS RAZORBACK SEC BASEBALL SEASON DONE* FIRE SOMEONE*

I like the bats that have emerged. Souza and Lovich are going to be extremely hard to keep out of the lineup.

Souza probably platoons in the middle IF and spots at DH when Stovall is back in the field.

I think Lovich starts in LF next weekend over Jones.

DVH probably keeps platooning Holt and Sandlot at 3rd.

I never like to get greedy, but man not sweeping Mizzou would feel meh. They are so so bad.

Did Gage Wood play any this weekend?

Getting close to being a unanimous #1 this week…but the NCBWA decided to put a team Arkansas is 1-0 against in their top spot, Oregon State. The Beavers were ranked behind Arkansas last week in their poll.

That’s certainly a choice.

I'm actually shocked that Gage Wood's ERA is only 3.38 so far. It feels like he's been getting shelled.

Just looking at Oregon States remaining schedule...they do not have another ranked team on their schedule the entire year.

Mind bottling.

I wonder if that helps more in the post season, or hurts? It seems as if they'd be able to rest their arms more during the season due to their (lack of) competition.
