#2 Kentucky vs. #3 Texas A&M

[Kybluedude]

Nobody is beating am tonight. Prager too tough. Dominating. AA performance. Put it in the rear view.

Not our night. That’s baseball. Good thing is we don’t have to dwell on it. Gear up for tommorrow.

 

[JHannibalSmith]

As questionable as some of Mingione's decisions. He's taken us as far as we've ever been, so hard to be too upset at it. A ball stays fair and a throw is 0.05 seconds later and we probably get 2 runs at least that inning.

I wouldn’t be the least bit upset if it was 50/50 decisions that he botches. But, man, he’s killing us on the most basic, fundamental, strategical moves possible. Shit that little league coaches can handle.

Serial bunting throughout the lineup & playing for 1 run in the freaking 1st inning?! Bunting with 2 outs?! Not walking hitters to set up double plays in situations that demand you walk the guy. No feel for when to pull a pitcher. Burkes STILL in the 3 hole?! ETC.

I do appreciate what he’s accomplished this season, regardless of my bitching. But, he’s just on another level when it comes to poor, BASIC decision making & it really sucks to lose like THIS. The players have really covered his ass the last 2 years.

 

[crawfords corner]

YAY!!!

We got a hit!!!

 

[bbncal02]

Finally. A Hit. Least we avoid that. Hasn't been a no hit game in the CWS since 1960

Yep. Happens. Just made it harder on ourselves though.

Win or go home now.

 

[crawfords corner]

Come on now. 9 inning game. Lets go!

 

[bbncal02]

Come on now. 9 inning game. Lets go!

Just need 1 or 2 right here. That at least gives us a chance.

 

[blubo]

They came to play. We didn't. That simple. Happens.

Now the pressure is really on.

aTm pitcher is real

 

[Basil Cat]

Think I would have just stuck with McCoy there.

 

[crawfords corner]

6 outs left.

 

[bbncal02]

No more pitching changes. Just tough it out.
Gonna need everyone for tomorrow.

 

[StubbornPenny]

Yeah at this point who cares if we lose 27-0

 

[bbncal02]

Our pitching since the 6th has been garbage.

 

[bbncal02]

lol and the radio broadcast just dropped. Damn, what a crap night for UK Baseball.

 

[Lempface]

When it's not going your way, it's just not going your way.

 

[crawfords corner]

Just our effing luck tonight

 

[crawfords corner]

BULL SHIT!!!! That was off the f^cking plate.

 

[bbncal02]

Just our effing luck tonight

Yup. Universe is giving us a big ol bird tonight.

 

[Basil Cat]

BULL SHIT!!!! That was off the f^cking plate.

Ump played to the crowd there.

 

[Lempface]

BULL SHIT!!!! That was off the f^cking plate.

Ump has been pretty good today but that one was bad.

 

[bbncal02]

And then the ump calls that. Good grief. Thanks for nothing dude.

 

[bbncal02]

Ump has been pretty good today but that one was bad.

That was a TV Teddy kinda call.

 

[LukaszObrzut]

Was not close to a strike
Crock of shit

 

[bbncal02]

whelp. Last chance.

 

[crawfords corner]

Shut over. 1 down 4 to go

 

[crawfords corner]

Now why TF is that guy batting 6th. Makes no sense with a 3 hole hitter that barely hits above his weight

 

[bbncal02]

Homerun Cats.

At least it's not a shutout.

 

[crawfords corner]

Nicholson ties the school mark for most home runs in a season...... and he's hitting 6th.

 

[crawfords corner]

Damn. Now how big was that bullshit strike call.

 

[StubbornPenny]

We desperately need to swap Nich and Burkes

 

[crawfords corner]

See yall tomorrow night at 7pm

 

[bbncal02]

Hope they choke on it.

Win or go home- and they better come out pissed off tomorrow night.

We looked so defeated after the 6h.

 

[TuckyFB]

I'm gonna act like that never happened

Time to get ready for Florida

 

[crawfords corner]

All those balls hit right at guys better be hits tomorrow. UK is owed about a dozen runs tomorrow.

 

[bbncal02]

I can remember having nights like that in Little League. Only time I just hated the game. Frustrating.

 

[Lempface]

We desperately need to swap Nich and Burkes

Would be better off with anyone else in the 3 slot TBH. He's great at the plate though, so not sure you can swap him entirely.

 

[Whoppercat]

Was not close to a strike
Crock of shit

It was all the refs, uh, umps fault tonight.

You mean the stuff he’s done all season that has us in Omaha when we weren’t ranked pre-season?

 

[bbncal02]

Nah, but you could tell the ump was playing to the crowd on that call. I hate that crap. No reason to do it. It's like when Teddy runs half way out on the basketball court to call a charge.

 

[StubbornPenny]

He just doesn’t need to be hitting third. He’s a great catcher. I think even he’d see why he should be dropped in the order at this point.
