Arkansas at Hoover

[roanoke]

LaNeve can’t flag down a long fly - and Kumar is pulled.

We are down 4-3.

Not a good outing for Rocker. Glad we did not let him throw 90 pitches. Announcer got it exactly right: no rhythm for Rocker tonight.

[roanoke]

McElvain seems to have good stuff tonight.

Sadly, he gives up a bloop single. 5-3.

[roanoke]

Big inning coming up. Heart of the order.

Hope we are patient. Make this guy throw strikes.

Need to respond to that bad inning.

[charlestonalum]

Kumar had poor control tonight but he will bounce back. We need to just relax and enjoy beating these guys. Too tight.

[commadore]

Shame Thomas didn't hit LAST inning.

[roanoke]

Imagine if Bradfield had not swung at ball four...

Pitcher falls behind 2-0 and grooves one. Thomas goes yard.

5-4. Ump continues to have a very consistent zone - even on close ones.

Important: we did respond to the bad inning.

[charlestonalum]

We have 1 more hit but 2 fewer runs. Been a trend that we have to end

[MrMemorial]

We're going to "pitch in the dirt" our way right out of this tournament.

Doesn't bode well for Omaha.

[roanoke]

Berkwich with a 1-2-3 inning. Needed that.

It’s funny - it feels like we are down more than 2.

We are very much within striking distance if we wake up.

[Go Vandy!]

While it would be great to win this game, it is the best team in the country we're playing.

[roanoke]

Arky manager with another quick hook - in the middle of a count.

I love that, actually.

No one out. Runner on 1st, 2-0 on Bradfield. Down 6-4 in the 7th. Arky has “called the Kopps.” Big moment here.

[commadore]

Third strike to Bradfield was outside.

[roanoke]

Seventh free pass of the night - and another lead-off one.

[MrMemorial]

Third strike to Bradfield was outside.

You could see him saying "it was high" in the dugout. And it was.

[commadore]

Kopps is unhitable if you stand there with your bat on your shoulder.

[roanoke]

Kopps has handcuffed us.

Final: Arkansas 6, Vandy 4. Ole Miss tomorrow.

He isn't a happy camper after that one.

Wow. I have seen him upset before, but rarely having an audible sigh waiting for the unprepared female reporter try to choke out a question. His answer could be translated too, but they might ban me for putting it down here.

[charlestonalum]

I get the impression he is frustrated and I wonder if this degree of frustration is a sign that he doesn't know how to fix the multiple problems he and we see. He has a whole lot of experience, but it appears this team has him frustrated and worse flummoxed. Just a guess.
