Remember when it was a sure thing that pitchers would take good leaps forward year to year, you know, before Hobbs was hired?


That was back when we had a real pitching coach.

That guy went on to win a ring at LSU and has elevated Georgia into a top baseball program and national contender.

Yeah but we don't have a quarter of a century for him to do that here.

Is he still our 3rd base coach? If so, fricker shouldn’t even get an interview. We leave so many runners on because of holding them up instead of playing with a pair. I’m sick of this whole staff. They’ve done everything but win it all but now they’re just showing that they can’t do it but won’t quit. Give them a proper severance package for elevating the program and make them retire or seek employment elsewhere.

More context on how bad the offense has been this season.

LINK

quote:

With 3 hits, 3 walks, 1 HBP, and 1 reaching on error, Arkansas had a total of 8 baserunners tonight.

That's the 6th game this season with 8 or fewer baserunners, which is the most times an Arkansas team has done it since 2017.

2026: 6
2025: 3
2024: 3
2023: 2
2022: 4
2021: 3
2019: 5
2018: 5
2017: 10

Seems kinda meaningless though, 2018 had five and should have won a natty.

LSU had 8 such games last year and won natty.

Turner replacing Stewart in the lineup for the Northeastern game.

Literally can't be worse at the plate or in the field.

Since his 2 homer game in Hoover, Stewart is 2-19 with 13 strikeouts, and one of those hits was an infield single that should've been scored an error.

I'm too lazy to count, but he's also committed several errors in the field, most of which led to runs.

People are shitting on Niu (rightfully so), but Stewart is the guy from this squad I'm most ready to see move on.

Niu was the worst player in the game yesterday both teams. But they both suck.

I was so disappointed with Niu’s effort yesterday after he had a fantastic day at the plate on Friday.

Correction to my earlier post - Stewart is still in the lineup, just moved to DH. Rutenbar sitting. Turner to RF.

Helfrick’s first AB against Northeastern epitomizes why he’s been so frustrating this year.

Watches a meatball right over the heart of the plate for strike 1, and then swings low and away to go 0-2.

Evens the count, then watches a pitch right down the middle that should’ve been strike 3 but was somehow called a ball.

Ultimately goes down swinging at ball 4 a foot off the plate.

Have we ever done well in the 1-1 game? We’ve lost it a time or two but even when we win it, feels like it’s always a 1 or 2 run squeaker

Pitching recipe for tonight:
3.5 Fisher
1.5 Dossett
1.0 Kircher/Brissey
3.0 McElvain

Dossett just threw I doubt they throw him again. Even just a few pitches warming up, cooling down to warmup again a few hours later highly unlikely.

McElvain should start until he's out of gas into I guess Fisher until wheels fall off. Pray that gets us to the 6th-7th with a lead or within a couple runs max and then pray some more.

I'm no MLB scout by no means but I just don't see how he's projected as a top 10 prospect. I just don't see it on either side of the ball.

Wiggins would be real handy right about now...

I know it's a pipe dream, but those are all we've got left at this point.
