Wildcats vs Aggies ( Sat. ).....

[Black Diamond Cat]

UK looks to take the series today @ 3:00 pm at Blue Bell Park. Zach Logue will take the hill against a talented, but young A&M squad.
The Aggies will be looking for pay back after being shut out at home for the 1st time in 3 years last night. UK really looked good both on the mound and at the plate Friday, hopefully that will continue today !

 

[Comebakatz3]

The Tamu announcers on the video broadcast really love complaining about Kentucky hitters not moving and getting hit by pitches

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Cats get a HBP, and a walk. Double play kills the rally, 0-0 bottom of 1.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

What a catch by Reks, taking away a sure x-tra base hit, he crashes into the wall and drops like a rock. He is OK looks like. Still scoreless going to the 4th.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Logue gave up a big fly. Down 1 to 0 in the 4th.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Logue gave up a big fly. Down 1 to 0 in the 4th.

He made that 1 mistake, but he has pitched pretty well. Cats are starting to make solid contact on the A&M pitcher.

 

[Derek Terry]

He made that 1 mistake, but he has pitched pretty well. Cats are starting to make solid contact on the A&M pitcher.

Shewmake is the only player with a hit (2) for A&M so far.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Tie game 2-2 with uk still threatening in the 7th

 

[Comebakatz3]

Collette makes his first appearance. Interesting here because UK just used both 1st basemen.

Collette struck out

 

[Comebakatz3]

Carson with a two out single with the bases loaded to give UK the lead 4-2!!!!

 

[Comebakatz3]

This is a bit crazy. Mahan is at first Bellini at second. Bellini just made an error

 

[Comebakatz3]

Bellini with another error trying to turn a double play.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Another poor decision by Mingione costing UK. 4-4. The decision was that Mingione inserted pinch hit Heyer for Squires and then inserted McNeill for Marshall then TAMU put in a new pitcher. Mingione took McNeill down for Collette leaving UK with no first basemen. So, we had to use Mahan at first, I guess. Poor decision IMO.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

We have reverted back to last year on defense, Good grief !!

 

[Comebakatz3]

A regular first baseman probably makes the play on the double play ball, but Mahan wasn't able to. Just crazy to have him there.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Now Mahan makes a good play to make a stop at 1st but throws it away trying to get the ball to the pitcher. Just so freaking dumb to have this scenario!

 

[Comebakatz3]

Now a balk

 

[Comebakatz3]

Unbelievable. Down 6-4 now. So angry about this.

Mingione is absolutely driving me nuts with these BS pinch hitting decisions. It cost us the game at Cincy and it's going to cost us today.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Now a balk

An absurd balk, no attempt to go to 3rd before 1st.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Mingione is absolutely driving me nuts with these BS pinch hitting decisions. It cost us the game at Cincy and it's going to cost us today.

I don't get taking McNeil down, for a guy who hasn't had an at bat all season. It cost us on the defensive side BIG TIME.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Mingione is absolutely driving me nuts with these BS pinch hitting decisions. It cost us the game at Cincy and it's going to cost us today.

I don't mind playing the match up game, but you absolutely cannot play it to such a degree that you hurt yourself defensively, especially at 1st freaking base!

 

[Comebakatz3]

I don't get taking McNeil down, for a guy who hasn't had an at bat all season. It cost us on the defensive side BIG TIME.

Agreed. Just a terrible decision all around.

 

[CatsFanGG24]

A regular 1b may make the throw to second better, but I doubt they were getting to that awful dp throw. Lefty 1b may catch it but probably not staying on bag...that 2b blew that inning up, shew.

 

[CatsFanGG24]

Overcoaching. Don't have to make a move to answer opponents every move.

 

[RogerIndy]

Mingione is absolutely driving me nuts with these BS pinch hitting decisions. It cost us the game at Cincy and it's going to cost us today.

I still think he is an upgrade over Hendo!

 

[CatsFanGG24]

Cats are better than I thought they'd be though, that's for sure.

 

[Comebakatz3]

A regular 1b may make the throw to second better, but I doubt they were getting to that awful dp throw. Lefty 1b may catch it but probably not staying on bag...that 2b blew that inning up, shew.

Any way you shake it there were mistakes by people who are not playing their regular positions because the head coach decided to play the match-up game offensively.

Now Mahan fails to get the bunt down with two men on and no outs. Pops up to shallow right. Fundamentals!!!

 

[Comebakatz3]

I still thing he is an upgrade over Hendo!

I agree with you I think he is better than Henderson. I think our pitching alone is much better. However we have to cut down on poor coaching decisions. We have the bases loaded right now and may still win this but those decisions put us at a real disadvantage

 

[CatsFanGG24]

Pitching is better and even offensively is much better. Some stupid stuff keeping them from a few more wins.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Now Wilson coming in to hit. Single to get the tie game!!

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Bases loaded, Storm Wilson pinch hitting........ singles to RF, 2 rbi, game tied.

 

[RogerIndy]

He was safe!

 

[Comebakatz3]

Gotta say, having Wilson hit there made me nervous, but it paid off

 

[Comebakatz3]

Well couldn't make it a big inning but we got back into it. Now have to hold them and play good defense.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Tied the game at 6 each, heading to bottom of the 8th. Will Pop come out for the 8th ?? Nope, it will be Schaenzer !

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Good job by Schaenzer, gives up a bloop leg double, but gets the K to end the inning. Going to the 9th tied at 6 all.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Big chance here to get the lead. Just need to get something deep

 

[Comebakatz3]

SAFETY SQUEEZE FOR THE LEAD!!!

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Lead off double the opposite way by Carson, go ahead run in scoring position. Pompey bunts him to 3rd. OMG Reks sac bunts with 2 strikes and Carson scores, there will be a review !
