Tony needs to give the "ride or die" mentality a rethink when the guy he's riding or dying with is hitting .050 for the NCAA tournament and showing zero signs of coming out of his slump

You never come out of a slump sitting on the bench. It's a gamble Tony lost but he was hoping Chapman and Bargo would come through. I don't care who the coach is they never get Every decision right. GBO

The biggest difference between this year and last is the offense. Last year, it didnt matter if we were down 5+ runs. We knew we had the offense to come back. Our pitchers knew whatever mistakes they made they had an offense that could easily clean that up. So the pitching, while very good, didn’t have to be perfect. Pitching this season had to be damn near perfect for us to win. It’s just the truth.

If we were more proficient in our bunting and base stealing, we would have a much more consistent offense and this staff would have been good enough.

It's been a fun year everyone, even if it didn’t end the way we hoped. Really looking forward to another run next season. Thanks to all of you for being part of the game threads and making them such a great experience!

This was expected. Honestly, I'm surprised...pleasantly...that we actually made the supers with this roster. No complaints from me.

Not saying they were his fault, but 5 pitches at least made it to the back stop and either gave up runs or bases. we had 8 hits they had 10 we got 4 runs they got 11.

Usually better at getting in front of the wild pitches.

I actually like Arky not dog piling.

Bigger business ahead, act like you've been there before.

IMO the difference was it was a for gone conclusion nobody hyped, everybody going through the motions so there was no lead up to a massive walk off like celebration. IMO if they dogpiled after basically a run rule game it would have been fake and contrived.

Another awesome season, just an unfortunate end.

Looking forward to next season already.

Know most here hate Arkansas, but I've always liked DVH because I always enjoy and respect seeing consistent success, because I know how hard that is to do at any profession in life, much less a profession like this. Similar, albeit the success to a lesser degree, to Nick Saban. Hated losing to him/Alabama, but had to marvel at how consistently great he was.

Will hope he gets a trophy at some point in his career. Wouldn't be so bad if it was this season given we're eliminated now.

This is the Achilles heel of our staff IMO and it’s not questioning them, but we basically have 1 offensive strategy and it’s to beat the ball into oblivion. If we don’t do that then we have no backup plan.

I just think it's stupid depending on where your team is.
Louisville and Coastal, I get it they're just happy to go.
Tennessee, Arky, LSU.... they're NC good. Its just business.

Its the same thing in basketball it drives me crazy when legit contenders freak out after the S16.... if you're NC good you should expect to win.

Thanks to the entire team! It was a great season. No team has won as many games as we have in the last 5 years and the future is so so bright. Those FR received a lot a valuable exp all year long plus what we have coming in from the portal. Oh hell yea! A special thanks to Fish and Madman for making this team even more hated! I wouldn’t want it any other way! TV has said in numerous interviews that when he got here he had to make us stand out and he has done that!

Thanks to all of you on here. I don’t post a lot but I love reading as the games go along. Until next season!

At the end of the day this team got what it earned. No shame in that and we knew Arkansas was the better team in pretty much every statistical category. Certainly head to head, they earned it.

Very excited for next season, portal is a bandaid, we got a bunch of freshman we haven’t even seen yet and a heck of an incoming class, so the draft is gonna be huge this year.

Proud of this team, lots of adversity faced head on.

The future is bright!!!

GBO!!!
