Who? Arkansas? They are Top 20 in ERA---3.79. Their two studs have ERA's of 0,66 and 2.11. THeir pen is solid, with very good arms...
Yeah, b/c ya know, a D1 staff has no clue how to manage a pitching staff. Pretty sure Van Horn knows more about Kopps, than you or I do...
Bullpen guys only can throw limited amount of innings
Very important in super regional play
Still a lot of other innings out there.
Top 20 in Super Regional…
8 teams in CWS
Arkansas has the pitching dude...Its not even debatable. But leave it to you , to do so.
I'm well aware of how many teams there are(in CWS). That is irrelevant.
You are missing the point. I am picking the eight best. If you are 20 you aren’t good enough
They don’t have enough pitching to win when the teams get cut.
Has always been their problem. Not enough pitching
Riiiight. You do realize the difference between Arkansas being 20th(3.73) and Top 10 Tenn/Vandy is very small? MOF, Arky has given up less runs than Tenn(17 less), and only has allowed 20 more than Vanderbilt. Their ERA's are not that far apart...
Vandy: 3.37
Tenn: 3.38
Arky: 3.71
TBH, outside of Texas, their isn't much separation..
There is huge separation
How many innings did Rocker and Leiter throw?
Not too many left for anyone else
Massive choke by Arkansas. I love living in this state and listening to these moronic fans who have never won shit talk crap all year.
No, there is not....Leiter threw 96 innings...Rocker 103. They threw 199 of 534 innings. Combined record of 23-6. Kopps/Wicklander threw 166 of 548 total innings..Combined record of 19-1.
Vandy's bullpen threw 335 inngs. Four guys with 40+ innings.
Arkys bullpen threw 382 innings. Four guys also with 40+ innings..
And lets not forget---Kopps isn't a starter. Went 12-0, with 11 saves. But showed today, he has starter stuff. So when you include the fact that Arkansas ace doesn't even start, it creates the disparity in innings pitched.
I'd certainly take Rocker/Leiter. No doubt. But just b/c Arkansas staff doesn't equal Vandy's, doesn't mean its not good enough...I mean dude---they won 22 SEC games. It just wasn't their hitting.
Imagine outscoring your opponent 28-11 and losing the series 😂
Arkansas, Ole Miss and MSU are three of the best baseball environments I've ever seen. But also the most obnoxious ****ers onthe planet...But to be fair, they are quite knowledgeable of the game.
I think Arky felt it was over after that 19-1, thrashing. Kudos to NC State.
You only have 18 innings in a super regional if planned correctly.
2 horses can take almost all of that
I think Arky is the best team in College baseball this year. I'll be Ok with the best not winning the title if the Vols can manage.
He threw 118 pitches and 9 ks today. Great pitching, our bats went cold at the wrong time.
Very true...
Game 1---Wicklander went only 6 of 9. But then again, Arky was leading 17-1 when left. No reason to keep your #1 in, in a 17-1 game.
Game 2: Arky used 5, icnluding Kopps for 2 innings.
Game 3: Kopps threw 8 innings.
SO of the 27 innings, or so, Wicklander/Kopps threw 16 of them.
Pitching wasn't their issue....Their bats were.
You will be good, win or lose you are a true fan. 💪 And you will carry on.😎 You young lady have shown me that you are a true fan, and don't take crap from us bigger and better programs. 🤣🤣
I had to do that. 😘
Good luck, I am rooting for UT, can't watch due to my schedule, but SEC!!!

FSU had the same situation against Louisville this year that turned the tide in the game. Like a 3-1 count, clearly a ball, ends up being ruled he didn’t make enough effort to get out of the way fast enough (even though the batter turned and was hit in the back arm).
I have zero clue why the ball 4 doesn’t over rule the “lean in.”
Only a fool treads where angels fear to go. I imagine you tread there a lot.
Just for funsies, what about an up and in pitch (not gonna hit him but not a strike) to a right handed batter, who takes a step back, while his teammate tries to steal third. Catcher comes up to throw and collides with the batter, who is no longer in the batters box.
i literally ended a little league game when this happened, i called interference. Idk if it was the right call or not but the coach went bizerk. I finally had to tell him idgaf who wins this little league game, and if you dont stfu i will gladly step out to the parkinglot and whip your ass, granted i was like 17-18 years old, but dude was a nerd. So much as soon as i said it, he snitched to the dude that hired me (30 mons before the game) who simply shrugged at him like maybe you better back off lmao. Dude then proceeded to pull his team off the field and go home in the middle of the fifth inning, i still got paid and never umped again. Not much on random people talking ish and having to take it. It was like teams from diff counties, i guess he thought i was biased in a Under 13 yo game.
Plus their catcher pissed me off for framing pitxhes, after i told him, i know what framing pitches looks like, holding it there 5 extra seconds isnt gonna get you a call and might cost you a few, and the smug little bastard kept doing it. Talking shit the whole time. Which idc if they wanna talk shit but dont frame every pitxh 6 inches outside got the bleachers bitching when they sittin at an angle cant tell.
Long story short i dont envy your job borden, but you prob wouldnt envy mine either 😂
if theres a way to lose a ballgame, louisville managed to do it this year. Go from number 1 to not in the tourney fml.
wouldnt be as sad if we hadnt lost two pitchers in the first round last year when there was no tourney, when we coulda/shoulda made some noise.
weve been pretty snake bit in omaha and even super regionals anyways. Our maybe beat team this era lost on a walkoff in supers that would have been a foul ball had our cheap ass foul polls been taller, off arguably our best closer of this era. Guess thats a maybe, sure looked foul and hooking but im biased.
still mcdonnell is a boss, hope he doesnt have eyes on the bayou.
I am indeed a true fan, but as to your criteria for declaring me so, I must admit to being untested. I am yet to find a superior program to the Vols. 😊
Arkansas has won like 26% of the baseball games in their history against Texas
Don’t let them bully you if you want to play with the big boys
I am much less afraid of Texas than Arkansas. You sound like a UK fan leaning on your 1926 or 1947 teams to make your case for the 2021 season and look where that got them last year.
Arky played a superior schedule to Texas and out preformed Texas. I think Arky being sent home went a long way to leveling the field.
Who is the fool…
Expect better Della. There is a reason why Arkansas has never won a NC.
Don’t become Arkansas and the Mississippi schools, Della. None of them win.
Once it comes down to it. Nobody caring about you being in the SEC and your idea of playing a superior schedule.
You played LSU in the Supers. Got a free pass
No one has won until they do? FSU was an all women school before they allowed men. They became a football powerhouse. Same with Miami in football.
Sticking your head in the sand and trying to deny that greatness can't come unless someone was great before is foolish. All things begin somewhere Sheriff.
Btw, LSU made it by beating Oregon. They deserved the right to play in the Super.
Finally, y'all played Arky and got shut out. Why would you dis them?
Hoos are heading back to Omaha!!!!
6-0 in elimination games this tournament
6-0 in elimination games this tournament
Key phrase here: No longer in the batters box. The batter has the right to the box. To an extent, it protects him----and of course, OR her. Not always the case...But mostly. The batter, by moving out of the box, and into the catchers "throwing lane", it is, or can be, interference. In your case, with their being contact, its 100% interference---and 100% the right call.
Little league coaches are ****ing ass clowns...
Ummm, bro----Texas played South Florida in the Supers...Pretty funny you saying UT had a free pass because they played LSU----all the while your dudes were beating up on a 31-30 South Florida team, that barely went .500 in the AAC...
February Baseball…
Doesn’t mean anything in June.
Arkansas has been trying to do this for 50 years and still haven’t won a NC.
They are gone
Regarding LSU. You pissed some people off. They are wanting that ass.
I would be shocked if McDonnell left Louisville. Why would he? He can win at Louisville, the same as he could at LSU. Cards outide of this year, have been a power. Just a freakish year, this year. IMO, Danis gonna win a title at UL...
