Bellarmine @ Kentucky (UPDATE)

[sluggercatfan]

Gabriel still hasn't figured it out a new pitcher is in the game.

He's bad!!!

 

[Tskware]

Come on, lets steal a W here

 

[TuckyFB]

ANU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Comebakatz3]

He's rattled and aiming now. Throws another one belt high but Fogel fouls it off. Fogel then goes to right field and it goes for out 1.

Estep lines one into right for a single. UK finally taking advantage of the bullpen. Gabriel just now figures out a pitching change, 10 pitches and 2 runs later.

Anu into the alley. Estep scores and UK walks it off. 3-2

 

[Aday117]

Nice rally and win. Still have a ton a questions about the quality of this lineup but 4-0.

 

[TuckyFB]

Whew...

 

[Comebakatz3]

Wouldn't call that a good win, but it's a win.

 

[TuckyFB]

Bad win and my confidence in this team fell a little and SEC play just got more daunting

 

[SeanCain]

Fantastic come back win. I’ll take it but a long way to go from this to SEC competition.

I’m with you on that.

 

[Comebakatz3]

So far, it seems obvious that UK hitters have struggled more with starters and have needed to face weaker bullpen pitching to break through and win or bust out of games.

Bellarmine is a weird team. Only loss to #5 Virginia 1-0 but lost to NJIT 9-3

 

[Comebakatz3]

I feel like this is similar to last year. Team had grit and scored late to win some games they didn't have any business winning.

They've gota pretty solid pitcher that goes on Fridays.

For those unaware, apparently Bellarmine is new to D1, having joined the collegiate big leagues just a year ago. They play in the ASun. They were 13-36 a year ago and have started 1-3 this season

Yes this is my schools second year full D1.

Coach Larry Owen has done a really good job in his time at BU. They made the D2 tourney the last few years before the jump to D1.
He was a former pitcher and coach in the minors.
Mens Basketball the driving force on campus and slated to take on UK next year at Rupp.

Very proud of my Alma Mater.

Owen appears to have done well although I bet he wishes he had left Buhr in for one more inning.

We’ll find out in SEC play.

Or stretched the guy in the 8th to the 9th.

This early in the year and Buhr having thrown about 90 pitches, he'd gone about as far as he could. Heck of a game by him though. He 1 hit us I believe.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Yep. Right now we got more questions than answers. That's where the rubber will meet the road, but a lot can change between now and then.

 

[RSUK5022]

Horrible game. We couldn’t even cover the 1.5 run line. Fire Ming.

Inconsistent right now obviously with our hitters.

We started this way last season as well so hopefully we clean it up with the cream puff schedule we have, except TCU, before March 18th.

This schedule is bad bad. Our OOC opponents have a combined record of 15-35 to start the year.
