OSU vs #2 Hogs

Did Coach do a post game of any kind? Wondered what he thought about the strikeouts.
I’ve seen this a couple times too, what was happening?
The only one I've seen is Benge's "strikeout" which is indeed HORRIBLE. But several people both OSU and arky have said the calls were all-around bad all game.
See above. I know the Benge one that's posted on arkys Twitter is below the knees and in the opposite batters box. Plus even arky fans are saying it was ball 4 when Forsythe was rung up in the bottom of 9 that should have won us the game. Numerous others too but theres a few egregious examples.

The only time the game should have been over was when Forsythe took a 3-1 pitch that was clearly low and outside.
Benge's strikeout took away a chance for him to hit with 2 out and 2 on, but we can't say that he would have gotten a hit.
OSU did benefit from the strike zone as well, but none as egregious as the call to Forsythe. That guy is just not good enough to handle a college baseball game.

His only postgame quote was "we decided to try to win the game right now instead of waiting for the game to come to us" when referring to the suicide squeeze call.

Gotta give the pitching tons of credit for that win last night. Gave up one run in 14 innings (pitching around 3 errors) against a very good team. Very impressive.

I think lost a bit in the game was how well Donovan LaSalle played. He had two of the six hits, drew a walk, and scored the winning run. At this time last year he was playing HS baseball in Louisiana. Quite a leap to a crowd of 16,000 in a major league venue.
On the other side, it was Meola (4), Brueggeman (5), Benge (3), and Forsythe (3) who accounted for almost 2/3 of the strikeouts. There's no excuse, but in retrospect, facing Arkansas pitchers with a normal strike zone is hard enough....facing them with a zone that is constantly on the move and sometimes 6 inches off the plate would be impossible. Still have to find a way to foul off more pitches and not take pitches with 2 strikes.

And he doesn’t have a win to show for it, does he? The OSU offense has not supported his efforts at all.
