Cats and the Dawgs

[Big_Blue_1018]

Since no one has started yet. Hjelle walks Mangum to start the game. Just found out that both Haake and Lewis are unavailable this weekend.

 

[Big_Blue_1018]

Hjelle bit of a jam in the first. Lead off walk followed by a one out single to right.

 

[Big_Blue_1018]

State gets 2 runs on a 2 out single. Hjelle produces a line out to left to end the inning. State is squaring him up pretty good in the first.

 

[cats1068]

A 4 pitch BB to start the game is never good. 30 has been off all year long.

 

[Big_Blue_1018]

Kentucky gets one back on an RBI double from Luke Heyer. State leads off the top of the second with a hard hit single.

 

[Tannerdad]

Hjelle is not going to make it long. Another walk and hit batsman. Bases loaded

 

[Tannerdad]

And gives up a 2 run single. 4-1 and it’s not over yet.

 

[irishcat1965]

Absolutely terrible pitching by Hjelle so far. Unbelievable.

Back to back starts. We get Thompson back at the end of the season and our Friday night starter goes into a slump. If this trend continues it will be a early departure for SEC and Regional play. On to football.

 

[irishcat1965]

UK may have to score 10 or more runs tonite to win.

 

[irishcat1965]

Give Hjelle credit. He is struggling like hell and still gutting it out. The offense has to pick him up.

Good call IC...you know me it's all about the offense in cbb...cfb

Why do we do that?????!!!! Delayed steal. We are giving outs!

Agreed. It keeps us squarely in the bottom of the lineup in the next inning.

 

[irishcat1965]

Outstanding inning by the bats. Side note: Becker has had two terrible little league at bats this game. Ugly.

 

[irishcat1965]

Then Becker makes an unbelievable catch. Great job.

 

[irishcat1965]

Hjelle really upset with the umpire on not getting that strike 3. Stares at him as he walks to dugout.

This umpire has a very tight strike zone, MSU has gotten some bad calls too.

 

[irishcat1965]

Hjelle hanging on by his teeth. Do you pitch him in the 8th? Tough call with our relief pitching issues.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Machamer in to try and get a 2 inning save. Big inning right here !

 

[irishcat1965]

Jeesh. Mach gets through the inning but it’s a struggle.

 

[irishcat1965]

Money hit by Becker. What a turnaround from those earlier at bats.

He was due!!

 

[irishcat1965]

Great win by Kentucky. Gutty outing by Hjelle when he didn’t have his best stuff. Outstanding offense. UK grabs early momentum in the series.

Without Haake and especially Lewis the bats are are going to have to produce a lot of runs...hopefully Zack can go the extra innings tomorrow and I'm guessing Harper starts Sunday.

 

[STUCKNBIG10]

Was at the game tonight, great atmosphere at the ballpark. Hjelle really struggled, but credit to him for gutting it out. Gonna be tough to win the next two, but we need em.

I heard this on twitter, what the hell happened to Lewis and Haake?

Big time win. I didn't like the decision to use Mach for two innings, but it worked out.

I watched on delay... announcers were saying we wouldn't have Lewis available this weekend!?!?! Anyone know anything on this?

Elbow strain, resting him. Not thought to be serious.

That's three pitchers with similar problems. Haake, Coleman and Lewis all likely out this weekend.

Like it was posted above, elbow strain. Sunday is going to be interesting. Let's win the series tomorrow!!
