Ball State at Kentucky (Game 1)

[Comebakatz3]

Tie game. Timely hitting for Ball State. That's just good baseball.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Roszel finally out. Might be biding a bit of time for the pen. You gotta have someone already up and ready in the 7th. If they didn't then that's a huge mistake.

Well they are making the change. Hudepohl coming in. This is a questionable decision to me.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Not that I don't like Hudepohl, but he's appeared in one game and he struggled. Over the past bit we've seen several guys show to be very dependable stoppers. This just seems like a scary spot for Hudepohl to get his second look.

 

[Comebakatz3]

He gets a grounder to short! Glad he makes me look bad.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Harmon in for Lewis.

 

[TuckyFB]

Need to do something here.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Nice walk there. Grace going to pinch run and likely plays 2nd the rest of the way.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Man we've had some good contact against this kid and just can't get one to fall on the turf.

 

[TuckyFB]

Grace is out after a failed steal...

 

[Comebakatz3]

Base running error kills this possible rally.

 

[Aday117]

Why on earth would we do that there.

 

[irishcat1965]

If Ming called that base steal attempt, he is a total moron.

 

[TuckyFB]

Why on earth would we do that there.

That's what I'm saying. We were about to have 2 on with Collett coming up. Dumb coaching decision.

 

[TuckyFB]

Could've been bases loaded but Ming had his head up his ass

 

[TuckyFB]

Anu falls for the same pitch 3 straight times and strikesout....

 

[Comebakatz3]

Leadoff walk... that isn't good

 

[TuckyFB]

Ball St has a runner in scoring position. 1 out.

 

[TuckyFB]

2 outs but runner at third

 

[Comebakatz3]

Cats going to the pen. Roszel out for the second time and has to take out Daniels. It might be Ramsey. Looks that big anyway

 

[Comebakatz3]

I would have personally gone to Harney there, but that's just me. Hopefully Ramsey has some control. Only takes one passed ball for UK to be behind.

 

[TuckyFB]

Hopefully Ramsey can get us out of the inning.

 

[TuckyFB]

Annnnd Ball St takes the lead 3-2

 

[Comebakatz3]

One pitch and a double to give Ball State the lead. 3-2. Ugh.

 

[Aday117]

Brilliant managing by Ming...

 

[TuckyFB]

Absolute dumb coaching decisions today.

 

[TuckyFB]

We deserve to lose this one with all the coaching mistakes but Ming got a 5 year extension so he can just sit over there making dumb decisions without a fire on his ass.

 

[Comebakatz3]

And Ramsey hits a batter...

 

[Comebakatz3]

Whew Hill takes a running dying qual in shallow right to end the inning. That might get down if someone else is in center.

 

[micatz]

With a lefty on deck and 2 outs and 2 bases open, you put the righty on and let Daniels go at the lefty!!! Coaching staff BLEW THAT ONE

 

[Comebakatz3]

Whew that 1-1 pitch could have went a long way had Church made contact.

 

[TuckyFB]

Reuben Church gets on base from a single

 

[Comebakatz3]

Church squeaks one through the left side!!! Ground ball with eyes!

 

[KYExtemper]

Ha, never seen a collision like that between a pitcher and catcher on a pop up before.

 

[TuckyFB]

Oh wow! Cam Hill on base after an error by the pitcher and catcher

 

[Comebakatz3]

Ohh man UK gets a major break. Cam Hill pops up a bunt and the catcher and 3B run into each other and they drop it. Everyone safe.

Gotta say though... Cam has got to get that one down. I think he's squaring a bit late on those.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Kessler pinch hitting.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Btws... I'd also likely take down Church for a better runner.

 

[TuckyFB]

Runners on 2nd and 3rd after sac bunt by Kessler

 

[Comebakatz3]

And why the hell did we pinch hit just to bunt?

 

[Comebakatz3]

Liebert hitting for Ritter.

This will make for interesting defense.
