Cats travel to the Bowling Green Ballpark to take on the Hilltoppers tonight. UK comes in at 15-8, while WKU is 12-10. Cats can use a good mid-week win for morale and won-lost record for possible post season play.
UK vs Western @ 7:00...
- Thread starter CloverforkCat
- Start date
Western now up big 12-3 in the 6th, quite discouraging performance by UK. Our pitching staff leaves a lot to be desired !
Final line score... WKU 12 runs 16 hits 0 errors....UK 3 runs 7 hits 3 errors.....UGLY outcome !
Ouchtown, population us.
Well, I don't think that Logue is going to be the answer in our mid-week. What is up with Andrew Nelson? It is pretty rare that a guy is a weekend starter in one season only to lose, and then not even be a mid-week starter the next season. Also pretty strange that Zeigler pitched just 6 innings last year and struggled in those 6 innings and yet we've tried to use him extensively this season, starting him in 3 games already. Also kind of weird that Blake Oyler got his first look at action today. I know it was in a blow out, still seems kind of late to be giving guys their first action. Also, Dwyer has had a pretty good ERA this season and yet we've seemingly only used him somewhat sparingly. Not that I trust Dwyer to be a great stopper, but he's done all right with his 12 winnings giving up just 3 earned runs. Anyway, I think I am just ranting. haha

These Mid-Week losses will come back to haunt UK if they happen to be a bubble team at the end of the season.
Highly unlikely because the Batcats are headed to a losing year. WE play LSU(22-3) and Texas AM(25-1) the next two weekends and our 2-4 SEC record could wind up being 2-10 after 12 games. Better hope for rain the next two weekends.

We have a pitching coach as the head man, have a lineup with no power hitters and manage multiple errors each and every game??!!!
What vision does Henderson have for this team? If you go small ball, not many gap/power hitters then your lineup better be defensively sound...its not.
He doesn't have an identity or philosophy on building a team IMO.

Normally wouldn't put much stock into mid week games - EKU gave UL all they wanted in a couple games...but this year, we just aren't very good. Not offensively, defensively or pitching wise.
So #3 in state could be correct, but may not be...could be better or worse if an actual weekend series was played vs EKU/WKU/MURRAY
