I imagine a 27-day, 17-game road trip, like the one Gonzaga just completed, can get quite unpleasant. You don't get to sleep in your own bed, sure, but more importantly:
1. You don't get to air drum in your own shower.
2. Is this always the guy that's going to sit next to me on the bus? He smells like vinegar.
3. Not a QT taquito. Not again.
Gonzaga completed its long road swing to start the season with Wednesday's 15-5 victory over the Razorbacks. That also capped a two-game sweep of the mid-week series as Arkansas pitching was a wonderful host (21 runs allowed in 18 innings), especially in the finale:
Gonzaga drew 13 walks, at least one from each of Arkansas's seven pitchers, and there were also four wild pitches and three hit batsmen. Cannon isn't a first name, but that doesn't mean Mr. Chadwick should get away with throwing less strikes.
Arkansas gets one day off before traveling to Nashville to open up SEC play against defending national champion Vanderbilt. Meanwhile, the Zags (Bulldogs? Bullzags?) finally return to the cozy confines of Washington Trust Field this weekend when they open West Coast Conference play against San Francisco.
Let's wrap up with a Troy Eklund top 5:
5. "He out-ran the baseball"
4. "Change the complexion of the game"
3. "He doesn't have any chinks in his armor"
2. "They'd love to have an easy inning and get back to the bat rack"
1. "I'm going to say something right after this pitch by Chadwick"
