Early problems sending relievers running down tunnel to bullpen early in games lately, but it's nothing anybody but Molina, Tygart can solve for themselves.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — It didn't take Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn long to answer what's wrong with starting pitcher Mason Molina, who has blown up in his last few starts. The veteran coach simply pointed to his head.
Sunday's start against Mississippi State was probably maddening for Van Horn. It didn't take the relievers long to respond to his rocky start, which primarily was not being able to find the play consistently, which was an issue for the whole staff at times in a series win that saw the Razorbacks come from behind every single game. They lost Saturday night, but at least made it respectable from an 8-0 deficit by scoring five unanswered runs.
The Hogs' pitchers gave out enough free passes to fill up a bus over the weekend. After what fans and everybody else thought was the strongest part that was going to carry them awhile all the way into Omaha for the College World Series, now it's collapsed. The hitting has, for the most part, gotten enough hits to keep coming back but there's going to be more games where that doesn't happen. Other teams have good pitching, too..
Those two guys are Molina and Brady Tygart, who haven't been particularly efficient in their last few starts. The bullpen has bailed them out often enough to prevent some losses, but not all of them. Once Hagen Smith throws the first game it becomes an adventure after that.before the series with Mississippi State, who was trying their best to stay in the middle of a fight with the Hogs and the Bulldogs with the SEC Tournament coming up in a couple of weeks.
