Ark State Game Thread

[Activated Alpha]

So honestly do not care about this game because I want to see how this coming weekend goes against real competition. We are up 9-0 T3 for anyone that isn?t following

[Leroy Jenkins]

Hey there it is (the game thread).

[msstate7]

If there's any hope of a turnaround this season, it will most likely be on the back of our 2 freshmen pitches going tonight and Friday. Hopefully it happens

[State82]

Way to step up to the plate, AA. No pun intended.

And getting those 3 other arms back. Pico, Cade, Nixon.

If Nixon can close and we have a weekend rotation of Dohm-Cintje-Cade I would be on board with that.

Anyone got an update on those guys?

[Commercecomet24]

Nixon and Cade should be ready either this weekend or next. Don't know about pico but he's gotta be getting close.

Anyone got an update on those guys?

“It’s Coming”

[Leroy Jenkins]

Anyone got an update on those guys?

Lemonis said one of them could be back this weekend. Didn't say which one. Then said we may get another back next week and the 3rd one back the week after that. My complete guess is the order of return is Cade, Nixon, Pico.

[Leroy Jenkins]

“It’s Coming”

Nice. Thanks, Base.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Loftin has sneaky good K numbers.

[Activated Alpha]

If we can get them back, maybe we can turn the season around. I am disgusted with the results so far this season, but if we can somehow make to the NCAA Tournament I will count this year as a success. However, Foxxy must go regardless unless, God Almighty willing, we win another natty haha

[Commercecomet24]

Looks like we're making a concerted effort to hit opposite field tonight.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Can't believe run rule is not in effect tonight.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Looks like we're making a concerted effort to hit opposite field tonight.

Sure does. Hey, CC what would your weekend rotation look like... assuming everyone is healthy.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Nixon......!

[Commercecomet24]

And Nixon in. Nice!

[StarkVegasSteve]

Not the best start for Nixon

[Commercecomet24]

Sure does. Hey, CC what would your weekend rotation look like... assuming everyone is healthy.

Lo, Cade and Gartman. I want to keep building Loftins confidence and keep him where he's at now and maybe use him some in relief on weekends. Loftin can be a little fragile so I want to get him super confident before becoming sec starter

ETA I like keeping Dohm in pen because he can be used in high leverage situations more than once a weekend and especially if Nixon come back strong

[Leroy Jenkins]

These guys getting a little nervous in the box. Haha.

[Commercecomet24]

Nixon knocking the rust off but looked good on last hitter

[StarkVegasSteve]

Need KC to look good right here. It's a big moment for him. Obviously not big in the grand scheme of the game.

[State82]

Can't believe run rule is not in effect tonight.

After 7 complete.

[Commercecomet24]

Hunt may be starting to make a comeback. 4 pretty good outings in a row, only one run allowed in 4 outings

[Commercecomet24]

After 7 complete.

No run rule tonight it's going 9

[State82]

No run rule tonight it's going 9

Ahhh. Could get really ugly. As if it isn't already.

Oh yeah, that is only for SEC games.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Hunt may be starting to make a comeback. 4 pretty good outings in a row, only one run allowed in 4 outings

That was big spot for him. Even up 16-0 the bases were still loaded when he came in. That's usually a recipe for disaster for KC even when he starts the inning.

[Commercecomet24]

Ahhh. Could get really ugly. As if it isn't already.

Yeah it could. Both teams can get lot of guys some reps tonight, lol!

[StarkVegasSteve]

Ahhh. Could get really ugly. As if it isn't already.


25+ runs isn't out of the realm of possibility tonight. We're trying to get everyone we can an AB or two tonight.

[EdwardDrayton]

Isaac Stansbury available to enter at third base in the 8th. ****

[Cowbell]

Isaac Stansbury available to enter at third base in the 8th. ****

He might could teach some of these guys about heart.

[Commercecomet24]

Yep I agree. I hope he's getting right he's got the stuff that could really help us!

[Cowbell]

Yep I agree. I hope he's getting right he's got the stuff that could really help us!

That is what was so disheartening about that Friday loss. There were some huge steps forward by the pitching staff.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

When you only have one midweek game, I like it going 9. Need to get some young guys some work.

[ScooterDog]

Who are the announcers? Think I know, but not sure. Thanks

[Commercecomet24]

100% agree. Get guys all the work you can in a real game.

[Commercecomet24]

Absolutely agree. That one was heartbreaking for players and fans alike. Would've been nice to step on their throat when we had the chance and set the tone for the weekend(in a good way).

[Activated Alpha]

Does this mean I should start the threads this weekend?***

[Commercecomet24]

Absolutely

[EdwardDrayton]

And then there's the weekend ...........

[The Federalist Engineer]

Loftin has sneaky good K numbers.

Huge prospect, real deal. Just needs to develop his craft and he's a 1st rounder.

[Commercecomet24]

Extremely high ceiling! Gotta get his head right and as he matures I'm sure he will. If he had Tappers makeup he'd be a force right now.

[CaptainObvious]

Nice blowout of Polk?s favorite son. I still think we will be 0-9 SEC after the USCe. But that?s the skeptic in me.

[Cooterpoot]

What are we? 4-1 in the Sunbelt?

[Commercecomet24]

What are we? 4-1 in the Sunbelt?

See Coot there's always a silver lining, lol.

[BrunswickDawg]

USCe looked strong against UGA this weekend, not so much against Charlotte last night.

[Offshore Dawg]

USCe looked strong against UGA this weekend, not so much against Charlotte last night.

Easy answer I think, mid week pitching Vs. weekend pitching.

[TNDawg35]

I thought Loftin looked really good. He wasn’t trying to overthrow and sat around d 90-91 with his FB. His CH is unreal and he doesn’t telegraph it either.

We really need to go get a big time 3B this off season
Or give Husjak a shot. Wasn’t he a SS?

Downs looked good also. He needs to play more.

I think Hines is starting to Look a lot better at 1B. He missed the one ground ball, but made a good play on the foul out. He even took a pitch back up the middle for a hit…
