Cards at Cats

[Comebakatz3]

Not a good start. Errors already. UL has bases loaded and Kammin hits a batter to give up a run.

 

[Old_Red]

It didn't get better.

 

[Comebakatz3]

0-5 through the top of the first.

 

[rolaid]

Great start for the big crowd

 

[Aday117]

This team lol

 

[Comebakatz3]

UK got two on with a HBP and a walk, but Plastiak strikes out, and he was no where close. 0-5 going to 2nd

 

[Tskware]

Reminds me of sitting down at Commonwealth stadium and watching the opponents run the opening kickoff back for a touchdown. What a terrible start

 

[rolaid]

They done ...going to be like the final game in Georgia

 

[cats1068]

40 gives up 5 runs in the 1st and they bring him back for the 2nd inning? Seriously?

 

[Old_Red]

Kammin needs to be out of there now. Two straight walks to start the 2nd inning off as a disaster.

 

[Comebakatz3]

He gives up 5 and UK sends him back out there!?

 

[Comebakatz3]

0-7 now.

Grace playing poorly at second...

 

[rolaid]

Huge game and Ming Managing like it’s Morehead St we are playing

 

[Comebakatz3]

Yea, this is not ideal. Another all systems failure so far. Bad pitching. Bad defense. Poor hitting. Poor coaching.

 

[Comebakatz3]

0-8 top 3

 

[Aday117]

Wish I was surprised. What’s the chances this team makes the postseason? 10-15%

U r optimistic

 

[Comebakatz3]

0-11 🤣 🤢🤮

 

[Big_Blue_1018]

Hey Mitch. Can I get a contract extension?? I mean I haven’t done anything to earn it but that doesn’t seem to be important to you.

 

[Big_Blue_1018]

1-11. UK has them right where they want them.........

 

[Big_Blue_1018]

See, I told ya. Louisville didn’t score that inning. Comeback has begun!!!

(I really shouldn’t drink after work)

 

[cats1068]

These guys swing at so many bad pitches that it’s not even funny 😔

 

[Comebakatz3]

I mean... it's better than drinking during work...

I'm a bit amused that Plastiak had one or two good games and Ming shoots him up the lineup and now he looks pretty bad

 

[Big_Blue_1018]

Well, I do work in a bourbon distillery.........

 

[Old_Red]

We excel at hitting that perfect double play ball to the short stop.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Well, I do work in a bourbon distillery.........

I take it back then. Lol

 

[Comebakatz3]

Just in case you're wondering it's 3-12. Schultz hit a 2 run home run to left.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Going to the bottom 7th.

 

[Tskware]

Going to the bottom 7th.

Is there a mercy rule in baseball?

 

[Comebakatz3]

Ballgame. 5-12

 

[Big_Blue_1018]

Well, glad that’s over. 29 runs allowed the last two games.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Is there a mercy rule in baseball?

Nope.

 

[Big_Blue_1018]

Is there a mercy rule in baseball?

Only in the tournament. Softball has one. Baseball needs one as well.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Also want to say that I find it kind of strange that UK did not pitch Hagenow this weekend, nor did they pitch him yesterday.

 

[Tskware]

Mercy Rule question was meant sarcastically, my humor is hard to follow sometimes, just ask my wife.

 

[SeanCain]

Anyone care to speculate on whether UK keeps Mingione? The way they are playing right now I’m afraid we might get swept by TN, Vandy and FL.

I think, what might be a deciding factor in some ways will be how many, if any, players jump ship or at least enter the portal after this season. I think if we lose, as you say, to TN, Vandy and Florida (and USC could sweep us as well) then the wheels will be completely off and I think basically everyone will have quit on this team. That being the case, you may see many of them not wanting to return for another year. If that happens then you have to imagine that things only get worse for UK and not better in 2022.

So, I think it is possible that if things look really bleak for 2022 that they may go ahead and cut the fat. If it seems like we'll get a good core back then we might see him get another year.

We will more than likely lose all starters but Estep and Church. I assume all eligible underclassmen starters will go pro or try to. That leaves the cupboard bare regardless. If we get wiped out on the back half of the schedule, if we keep Mingione, it tells me UK is not really “all in” on the baseball program. That’s just my opinion.
