starting over with the next guy.


The next guy was Rutchmann (sp?) IIRC who has a BA above .400. You can't afford to not go after Larnach and put more on base. Their lineup doesn't give you the luxury.

Try being a Rangers and Hog fan. Exactly what it feels like

Very true. I'm still not giving Larnach a 2-0 fastball to sit on. I would try a breaking ball over the inside part of the plate - even if he crushes it, it's most likely foul. Or maybe a fastball up (and out) of the zone to see if he'll bite. But I'm not grooving one. I'd rather start over with Rutschman and try to work ahead in the count (and I'd have probably gone to a righty in Larnach gets on).

I feel a thousand times worse than when Stoerner laid down the ball on the field against #1 TN when we had it in the bag. Was literally paralyzed when that ball hit the ground with 3 guys staring at it. Don't even remember the homer Oregon St. hit after that. ... Oh well, at least I remember the feeling of the '94 Hogs b'ball championship game; I keep channeling that right now. This too shall pass ... until next year & every year after that, for forever, when the CWS rolls around & they show the replay of it at least 5 times.

I was born in 96. I don't get to fall back on the 94 championship because i wasn't here yet. That was the closest I've ever seen Arkansas to a championship.

Yeah, this one is a tough one to take. It's like a girl having won Miss America & as they're just about to crown her, they say, "OOPS!! The judges made a mistake in their calculations!!! You didn't really win!!!" Sucks beyond words. I've always said it's easier to take in a championship or other big game to get your arse beat than be so close & lose. This is as close to winning as I've ever seen & come away without the title. But something's gotta work out for the Hogs soon; you can only go so long with ultra crappy stuff happening; there has to be a shift soon - that's the way it works, I think, hopefully.

I was 5 rows up and $350 deep into that game.

I don't want to hear about your tears. Drove about 30 hours in 3 days too.

F- it all.
