Cats v. Auburn (Saturday)

[Comebakatz3]

UK gets the early lead. White singled and McNeil reached on an error before Shelby cranked one off of the big wall in left to plate white. An infield out to short by Hairston plated another run to gave UK another run before Mahan gets a little dying quail into left center to plate Shelby to give UK a 3-0 lead in the top of the first. Still in the top of the 1st with 2 outs.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Connor Heady is in the lineup and makes an outstanding defensive play at second base!

Henderson really makes some weird moves. Heady has some pretty solid defense, but the kid is hitting .095 and we're struggling to get runs. Doesn't make much sense to play him now.

 

[Comebakatz3]

You guys think that White will be a first baseman at the next level? Definitely not your prototypical first baseman in the league.

Heady attempted a sac bunt earlier in the inning. Popped out to third. His average drops to .083.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Sweet mother of pearl, Reks just destroyed one with a golf swing. Two run home run to right center to give UK a 5-0 win.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Grier is going to be SEC player of the week after playing us. He hits a triple off the wall in right center with the bases loaded and gets Auburn back into this game. 5-3 going to the 3rd.

 

[Comebakatz3]

These commentators are pretty dumb. Pompey pinch hits for Wilson after Wilson runs into the wall on the Grier triple, and the commentators can't figure out why UK took Wilson out. Their response, "He must have done something."

 

[STUCKNBIG10]

Damn, we had three really deep balls to left center but none left the park. 5-3 cats heading to bottom of 3.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Two out bomb gives up the lead and makes this a 5-5 game.

 

[STUCKNBIG10]

Beggs just doesn't have it today. Serving up floaters right down the middle of the plate.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Two out bomb gives up the lead and makes this a 5-5 game.

Beggs is not himself tonight, grooved one right down broadway !

 

[Comebakatz3]

Heady trying to prove me wrong with a leadoff triple here in the top of the 4th!

 

[Comebakatz3]

Holy cow... Heady got thrown out at the plate. How the heck did that happen?! Heady must have went halfway rather than tagging up in time. He was thrown out by a mile. Just a really dumb play.

 

[STUCKNBIG10]

Heady should never see the field again this year after that play. One of the dumbest plays i have ever seen.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Don't know how the heck you screw that up. You either tag up or that is going to be an easy run. Plain and simple. Just dumb to not make sure you tag up properly. Could end up costing us this game.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Heady should never see the field again this year after that play. One of the dumbest plays i have ever seen.

That was an all-time baseball blunder.... Holy Cow !

 

[Big_Blue_1018]

I've used language watching this team that I've never used in my entire life.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Beggs picks off another one. Got Grier to end the inning. All 5 of the runs by Auburn have been with 2 outs. I feel like Beggs is kind of relaxing with two outs instead of getting the final one. It didn't make a huge difference with this inning since Beggs got it with a pickoff.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Auburn goes to the bullpen here in the top of the 5th with 2 outs and a runner on first.

 

[STUCKNBIG10]

Same old shit, now nothing happening at the plate. this could be the nail in our coffin today if we don't find a way to get the bats moving again.

 

[Comebakatz3]

A misplayed dying quail goes for a double. Then good hitting by Auburn moves the runner to third and then a deep fly to right scores the run to give the Tigers a 6-5 lead. Beggs have given up more earned runs than he has all year.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Runners on 1st and 2nd and we're asking McNeil to bunt... just a dumb move right there. Now he is at 0-2 after taking a couple fastballs right down the middle. McNeil, of course, strikes out on the slider as he almost always does.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Shelby crushes another one off the monster in left that goes for a double and ties the game. UK with a chance to take a lead here.

 

[STUCKNBIG10]

Even a good inning is bad. No way we should only get 1 run there. McNeill bunting was an unmitigated disaster and then Hairston and Mahan go weakly to end the inning.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Well UK isn't able to get anything else and the threat ends 6-6 going to the bottom of the 7th

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Even a good inning is bad. No way we should only get 1 run there. McNeill bunting was an unmitigated disaster and then Hairston and Mahan go weakly to end the inning.

Exactly, McNeill had better learn to bunt if he has any plans on playing at the next level. Fundamentals are lacking on this team.

 

[Comebakatz3]

UK gets some help from the double play to end the 7th. Does UK go to Lewis or Strecker in this one?

 

[Comebakatz3]

Cottam belts one off the wall. Man... I don't know how many of these would be outs as opposed to hits, but that one is most definitely a home run in most parks, but not high enough in this one.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Pompey moves him over by hitting behind the runner. Now Becker comes in as a pinch hitter for Heady.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Wow... Becker grounds one to first that doesn't get the run home and then White tries way too hard and strikes out in embarrassing fashion.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

May have just lost this one, lead off double, runner only gets the 3rd, and is stranded.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Wow... Henderson goes with Dwyer... not sure what to think about this. I guess he is playing the matchups and going with a lefty.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Leadoff double for Auburn. Henderson going to another pitcher. Strecker this time. No outs.

6-6 bottom of the 8th.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Henderson is doing his stupid matchup thing. Throws Strecker against one righty, who bunts anyway, and then brings in Salow.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Salow then basically intentionally walks the lefty and a righty comes in. Salow can't find the plate.

 

[Comebakatz3]

4 pitch walk once again. Great idea by Henderson to play these matchups. They have another lefty coming in to hit, but the bases are loaded with 1 out here.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Henderson's dumb ass finally comes out to take out Salow after he throws 10 straight balls. Hjelle now coming in. Just ridiculous.

On another note, Hjelle running is hilarious.

 

[Derek Terry]

I have no idea why Henderson loves changing pitchers in the middle of counts.

 

[Comebakatz3]

First pitch Hjelle throws gets by Cottam and Auburn scores to take the lead. Great coaching Hendo! Great coaching!

 

[Drewmagnum]

Heady should never see the field again this year after that play. One of the dumbest plays i have ever seen.

Amen, in hindsight that will be the difference. Ridiculous, 11 straight balls.

 

[Comebakatz3]

We just lost the series to the worst team in the SEC. At this point I almost want to lose every game so maybe it will wake up the UK administration and they'll fire the moron of a manager that we've had for much too long.
