Kentucky v. Missouri (Sunday)

[Comebakatz3]

You obviously don't like the double play but I'm happy he put the ballinto play and scored a run.

Cottam golfed one and it looked like he got a good chunk of it, but its caught any of the warning track to end the 2nd. UK up 5-1.

 

[Old_Red]

We managed to add 1.2 to LaPlante's season ERA in one complete inning of work.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Lewis starts the third with a strikeout on a pitch that faded away from the lefty. Harris then singles into right center.


Ohh... Heyer mocked Harris' home run celebration from last night after he hit his 3 run shot today. He, like Harris last night, made a very exuberant stomp on home plate. That is what brought the bench warnings.

 

[Comebakatz3]

UK had a double play, but they called the ball foul. Probably was. Lewis then gets a strikeout for out two. Pop up to Becker ends the 3rd.

 

[Old_Red]

Lewis looking very sharp. Harris hit a pretty good pitch. Two strike outs that inning.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Heyer takes a tight fastball for strike three. Two of those pitches weren't strikes.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Becker works a full count but swings at a neck high fastball and gets a piece before swinging through a fastball. Would have had a walk had he laid off that neck high one.

Aklinski frozen ropes one into left for a two out single!

 

[Comebakatz3]

Shinny wears one on the elbow to put two on with two outs for Kessler.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Kessler grounds out to second to end the 3rd. UK up 5-1

 

[Comebakatz3]

Lewis with a big K to start the fourth.

Looks like Lewis now has something in his eye. Trainers out.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Lewis gives up a walk. Full count on the next hitter.

And my child bit her cheek and is bleeding so I don't know what happened but UK got out of the 4th. Dawson then doubles.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Wild pitch advances Dawson to 3rd.

 

[Old_Red]

Lewis gives up a walk. Full count on the next hitter.

And my child bit her cheek and is bleeding so I don't know what happened but UK got out of the 4th. Dawson then doubles.

Fly out, strike out. Lewis is sharp and we really need that. We have the bats out again. This looks like how we looked prior to the SEC season start. Seems like we have our confidence again.

 

[Old_Red]

Squires having a rough day. Hits into two double plays but did get a first inning walk.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Got another run in on an rbi fielders choice by Pompey. Squires then promptly hits into another DP..... bunt Troy bunt.

 

[Comebakatz3]

I'm confused. Was that a strike out or a throw out? Had to be one or the other. Lol

 

[Old_Red]

Lewis is getting pitches up. Really paid for it.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Lewis probably needs to be done right here.

 

[Jeff Drummond]

UK starter Justin Lewis sitting at 101 pitches after 5. Cats will need great effort from bullpen today, holding 6-3 lead.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Strikeout limits the damage and we go to bottom 5. Should end the day for Lewis.

 

[Old_Red]

I'm really hoping that we can get another inning out of Lewis. I don't trust 3 innings coming out of our bullpen. Well, we really only need two, but I'd only trust Machamer and two innings out of him is asking a lot.

Edit: I was just hoping it was the 6th inning already. Definitely need Lewis to give us more innings if he can.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Strikeout limits the damage and we go to bottom 5. Should end the day for Lewis.

Who do we bring in, Coleman, Harper, Marshall to get to Machamer ?

 

[Comebakatz3]

Who do we bring in, Coleman, Harper, Marshall to get to Machamer ?

Coleman can get you one. Might as well use Harper for one or two. Thompson possibly but might not stretch him.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Looks like they might try to stretch Lewis for one more. Hope they have a very short leash on him.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Lewis gives up a solo shot. 6-4. He's got to come out.

 

[Old_Red]

Well that was a pitch out over the plate and it got unloaded on. So maybe Lewis should have been done.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Weird... Ming comes out with his lineup card after the home run. Did Missouri hit out of order?

 

[Comebakatz3]

Long discussion. Would like to know what's going on.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Not sure what that was about. They talked to Ming for a long time.

Lewis with a gorgeous two seam and he doesn't get the strike call. Terrible. He gets the K two pitches later.

 

[Comebakatz3]

UK gives up a hit to the 9 hole. Belanger out. Pitching change. Going to Machamer!?!?!

I thought that was Mac running in, this would be a long relief stint, but he has been asking for more innings !

 

[Comebakatz3]

Not sure I understand this move. He can't go 3.2 innings. That'd be nuts.

 

[Comebakatz3]

I thought that was Mac running in, this would be a long relief stint, but he has been asking for more innings !

Maybe he can do it, but I don't know. It's stretching him pretty far. 2.2 isn't bad but basically 4 is a ton.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Mach gets a grounder to first but UK can't turn it. Cottam bobbled it a bit.

Harris now up. Very dangerous spot.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Line drive single makes it 6-5.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Strikeout ends the inning. UK up just one going to the bottom of the 6th. 6-5.

UK bats better get going again.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

UK bats need to wake up, have went silent the last couple of innings !

Got a chance to get a little cushion but Squires follows Pompey with a pop up. Going to 7.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Missouri gets runners on and gets them in, we get em on and cannot... Frustrating !

 

[Comebakatz3]

Mach playing with danger challenging hitters with high heat. He gets out one with a high fly to right center.
