#5 Arkansas vs Southeast Missouri State | Elimination Game | 2024 Fayetteville Regional

[@predictorbibulous3327]

If you've been a hogs fan as long as I have, you kind of expected this. Arkansas has a knack for falling apart at the end of every season, in every sport.

[@thegoatland5267]

literally , im so sick of it. It all started back in the kjerstad days fumbling in the ncaa finals. Then the major season ender against nc state. NOW THIS. woo damn pig ... I guess

[@maxrosenbaum8502]

The Carson Shaddy foul pop misplay will haunt that team forever.

[@dfwdodge]

Arkansas is the best regular season team in the Country! Just don't expect a playoff win.

[@billduffield9676]

Doesn’t seem to matter where they play, Arkansas probably the biggest underachiever in the last decade of the NCAA Baseball tourney. Unbelievable!!

[@KadenHartley]

Lolololol. It just a inside joke inside the Arkansas baseball organization to have a good regular season just to lay an egg when it comes playoff time.

[@Illigrown]

Love baseball for the fact anyone can win on any given day. Show up and play fundamentally sound baseball and you’ve got a chance. Congrats to SEMO. Obviously no chumps but were the underdogs with something to prove 💪🏽

Oregon State broke Arkansas 6 years ago in the cws finals

[@rickwalbu]

It was there for the taking,and let it drop.

[@cravenharp5318]

​@@rickwalbu😂 okay that got me

[@ROCKHNTR]

As a Hog fan that drop is prime example of how every year in every sport we are let down. Had it and all we had to do was catch it smh 🤦‍♂️ but I knew a couple weeks ago we would be lucky to make it to a super regional

[@finchborat]

Though Oregon St. appeared to have done a deal with the devil after the drop and they haven't been back to the CWS since.

[@maxrosenbaum8502]

I was about to comment the same thing. Hogs have been the biggest frauds since then.

[@toddstewart9922]

Gezzzz another one and done series. We started falling apart three weeks ago. Pitching goes limp and the hitting goes away the last three years. The better team won today and hats off to the small school kicking some Hog a$$ today.

[@kevinnordin8484]

Hitting never started

[@finchborat]

It was less of us falling apart and more of us going through a murderer's row. Pitching ran out of gas. Had Hagen been pulled a little sooner and if we got a couple of key hits, we're getting ready for Virginia right now.

[@markgiordonello6710]

I'm from Houston and I lived in Fayetteville for about 4 years between 2012 and 2019 and I consider the hogs my adopted second favorite team and man it sucks they can't get it done. they consistently win 40-50 games a year. multiple players are all conference and all American. they almost get a home super regional every season but come tournament time they play their worst baseball. I was there when they lost to south Carolina after that foul pop up. I feel your pain and I'm still pulling for you guys to win the big one hopefully very soon

[@lochnessmonster5149]

Hagen Smith should transfer to LSU.

[@texsion]

Just as I expected

[@TheRazorbacksRule]

As Soon As I Saw Stauss Hit That Home Run In The First I Knew It Was Over For Us Congrats To SEMO For Beating Us You Were And Are The Better Team DVH Needs To Fire Thompson And Get Some Quality Pitchers Same Story Every Year

[@SQM1967]

I hate it when I'm right sometimes. I didn't think they would get out of the regionals. I didn't think they deserved a #5 national seed. DVH gets them motivated for the start of the season then as the weeks go by they start their decline, right in time for the tournament. Nice call pitching Smith only 2 innings in the conference tournament. Did Smith ever pitch into the 7th inning this year? I think I read; they were saving him for June.

[@AdamDavis93017]

It's like when we have a real good chance to go deep. We just never do it!!

[@AdamDavis93017]

Really wanted to see Hagen Smith get a chance to keep his amazing season going. Just don't have the rest of the pieces. I'm so sad lol

[@MrRobearBaw]

Yea another amazing regular season. Arkansas the best regular season team I’ve ever seen😏

Arkansas baseball losing in June - a tradition unlike any other

I think it says more about Arkansas than semo. Same thing happens every year

[@KadenHartley]

​​​@@MrRobearBawArkansas haven't been the same since they lost to Oregon State in the finals 6 years ago. Absolutely broke them mentally

[@MrRobearBaw]

@@KadenHartley agreed bud. I’m not even a fan of the pigs. I just feel for them, can’t make it out of a regional that they’re hosting.

[@KadenHartley]

@@MrRobearBaw Baseball is a more mental game than a physical one out of any sports. And a mental block for a baseball program can put them in a slump for years, no matter how much talent is on the board. Hopefully Arkansas can get over it soon

[@MrRobearBaw]

these comments are crazy

[@XCruzzerX89]

Typical post season arkanas meltdown

[@andrewgrosze4588]

My thoughts on the season. Need a new hitting coach or new mindset because when you’re one of the least productive teams in college baseball you can’t compete with post season teams. Our pitching started amazing and we got tired a feel asleep and then quit. Our team started to fall apart 3 weeks ago and no one tried to stop it. Get a new hitting coach because what there teaching isn’t working if they haven’t noticed it’s not working. And don’t say it is because you had a whole season to show that it works and never did. Pitching stay locked in and consistent throughout the year. Just vary disappointing another great team down the toilet.

[@finchborat]

Though we went through a murderer's row during May. It was more of that than us falling apart. To me, pitching was starting to run out of gas. I do hope that at the very least, we learn to start practicing situational hitting. If Thompson gets a new job somewhere, it won't be that big a loss. If it happens, we'll see if we can go 3 for 3 with splash hires.

[@peytonclark1353]

I hope SEMO gets out of this regional

[@rspn]

Arkansas typa game

[@AdamDavis93017]

Kind of wish that roland would have not hit that 2 run shot in the 9th. Had a little hope 😭

[@chuck.fleischer]

chaos has been ensued

[@bbflilvez3522]

In my opinion we didn’t have a cws pitching line up

[@sergiodominguez3937]

Absolutely embarrassing performance by Arkansas. Although it’s not such a surprise considering their recent play

[@siberiancajun]

What good is it to win the West every year, then crap your pants like the President when it's playoff time?

[@finchborat]

And it hit me during the A&M series that of the last 3 CWS champs, none of them won the SEC West. Based on that, A&M just might be winning their first natty later this month. 2009 was the last time you had an SEC West team (LSU) win the division and the CWS in the same season.

[@skosh6359]

Apparently Arkansas has a .176 average in post season since Nate Thompson took over the reins on the hitting side. I think it’s time to move on.

[@cravenharp5318]

Since Vietello left there offense hasn't been the same

[@skosh6359]

@@cravenharp5318 Vitello was at Arkansas from 2014-2017. Over those four seasons we averaged .278 with 53 HR. Nate Thompson has been here from 2018-2024 and over those 7 seasons we averaged .280 with 96 HR. Almost identical average, but under Nate we average 40 more HR a season. That’s substantial!

[@cravenharp5318]

@skosh6359 first maybe better players and second recruiting

[@finchborat]

@@cravenharp5318 Though we've had superb offensive seasons under Thompson. We broke the team HR record in 2018, then broke it again in 2021 and were 4 away from breaking it again in 2022. You just hope we can get some improved hitters via recruiting and the portal. We'll be replacing roughly 2/3rds of the lineup.

[@rerickf]

#3 last year, #5 this year. Both years you cant even win the regional

[@GarrettGrosze]

Need a new hitting coach, and that’s really all. Pitching staff was amazing the whole year. But you can’t. Go into every game relying on pitching. They can’t be perfect for forever. That’s all there is to it.

[@finchborat]

I also hope we learn to practice situational hitting.
