#2 Kentucky vs. #3 Texas A&M

[Lempface]

When's the last time Waldo's had a hit? Woof! Gonna be tough to continue to win in spite of his play.

When is the last time Waldschmidt had a hit?

 

[MoneyMuntz]

Alright. Enough bunting around. Lets get some runs.

We need to take advantage of gifts. An Error and a HBP to start the inning not to return a single run is sad. McCarthy going down in the count 0-2 with failed bunts doomed that AB and then to bunt with 2 outs it’s so ridiculously sad. I’d rather just hope for a wild pitch and take 4 pitches.

I just typed the same thing 🤣

Someone please educate me on the format. So everyone has to lose twice to be eliminated? If we win and go to the Semis, the winner from the loser’s bracket would have to beat us twice to eliminate us?

 

[TuckyFB]

Nice double play

 

[TucsonCat]

Tinkers to Evers to Chance

Yes that’s correct

We are in a bracket with 4 teams. Nc State, a&m, Florida, us. Double elimination. And whoever comes out of that plays winner from other side in a 2 out of 3 series.

 

[Basil Cat]

We are going down on the first 2 pitches way too much.

 

[crawfords corner]

LOL. Their catcher thought there were 3 outs

 

[StubbornPenny]

We’re hacking when we should be working the count

 

[crawfords corner]

Nice play Moore

 

[darkshadesofblue]

Nice Focus by Moore

 

[crawfords corner]

Nicholson pickin them throws down on 1st. Nice job. Now lets take the lead here.

 

[BGWentworth]

We depend on bunts way too much.

 

[bbncal02]

Just got settled to see that great play by Moore on the pop up bunt. Got a little worried there for a sec that they were going to collide.

UK playing great D.

 

[bbncal02]

good grief. that wind.

 

[crawfords corner]

Still looking for our first hit

 

[bbncal02]

What a freaking pitcher's duel.

 

[BGWentworth]

Prager at only 61 pitches. Likely will be able to go the entire way at this rate.

 

[DraftCat]

Not a horrible strategy getting aggressive on a great pitcher.... however it isn't working. Their Ace is going to go deep into this game.

Need to hope UK pitching is up to the task... will need to get to the bull pen to win this one.

 

[JHannibalSmith]

We depend on bunts way too much.

And, even that is an understatement. Mingione has done a great job this season. But, I can’t pretend that he doesn’t make some of the dumbest decisions I’ve ever seen. It’s mostly worked for him the last 2 seasons, though.

I like him too. Just like I like Stoops and did like Cal. They've all had some headscratchers.

 

[bbncal02]

Damn it. Here we go.

 

[crawfords corner]

Damn it. If you are gonna throw it there you have to bury it in to his hands

Yeah Moore is looking rough all of a sudden.

 

[Basil Cat]

Effective mound visit. 🤦🏼‍♂️

 

[bbncal02]

Time to sit Moore. He's done.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

The way the hitting looks 2nite does not bode well for a comeback. Their pitcher is a stud for a reason.

 

[Seth_C]

Yeah. That inning when we wasted 3 outs trying to bunt has officially come back to but us in the ass.

 

[anonymous_2011]

2 feels like 10 in this game.

 

[Lempface]

Bats are gonna have to wake up at some point, right?

 

[TheDude73]

Should have walked him to get the force out situation. Sacrifice one run to get a double play scenario. That's what should have come from the mound visit.

 

[bbncal02]

SMH. Moore can't throw a strike to save his life right now.

You can't leave him out there right now.

 

[JHannibalSmith]

It’s baseball 101 to walk the cleanup hitter there with runners on 2nd & 3rd with no outs & 1st base open. Especially, with it being a lefty vs righty matchup. Malpractice on that decision to pitch to him.

 

[Lempface]

Gotta pull Moore at this point oof.

 

[K86]

Here we go again leaving the starter in too long.

 

[darkshadesofblue]

This one’s about to get away, feels like

Yep, every major league coach on earth would walk that guy to load the bases and get the double play scenario set up, hoping to get out of it with only a 1 run deficit. As you said, Baseball 101.
