Polls are starting to come out and every one of them has the Hogs in the top 5. I can't wait for the season!

I am by no means an Arkansas fan, but I do love some good baseball. Hope they have a great season and represent the state well. I'm ready for opening day.

Honestly us playing Bucknell is a joke imo.... Go play real competition instead of playing "feel good" opponents. This team is good, but a team like Bucknell should never be on the schedule. Winning 32-4 is not going to be of any benefit when the 30 game SEC grind starts.

It's the first series ever team that will be in college World Series will play someone that is just as bad as Bucknell! This team will be one of the best we have ever had because of pitching staff and now we have a heck of a hitting coach!

Beating someone 32-4 in baseball is classless in my opinion.... I have heard people saying "well they are predicted to win the Patriot League"..... Seriously this is not basketball and that would not even mean that much in basketball let alone baseball when the Patriot League is worse than some DII conferences in the south and west in baseball. Not a fan of our players acting like goons over walloping a pub team.

Can't tell the guys not to swing. But yeah that's a heck of a beating and I wish they would have same some of those runs for later in the season lol

That is not classless.  It's baseball.  Everybody was hitting.  You can't expect the kids to not hit the ball.  It would have been classless to purposely run into an out, or to strike out purposely.  That is Showing up an opponent. If they played only the starters, then you have a valid point.  But they played a lot of kids.  The opposition also started throwing lesser pitchers in order to salvage arms for Sunday's game. Almost paid off with a 3-1 game there.

Could be like Miss St, get swept to open the season and have your coach blind side the school with a sudden resignation....

I saw the initial announcement so not a lot of info then about why. But there has to be a lot going on for that to happen right as the season starts. Anyone know what happened?

Apparently it was an on going thing that quite a few people knew about. Was told to end it and never did. Crazy world we live in.

Love Razorback baseball! I think this team is going to be really, really good! I really believe they have what it takes to compete for an SEC title, and get back to Omaha! The question will be, will we live up to all of the hype? I know it's early, but just by judging the other SEC teams, SEC play will be tough as expected!! No off weeks!!

Congratulations to SEC Freshman of the Week Casey Martin from Lonoke.
