[Big_Blue_1018]

Big big series this weekend. Cats desperately need. The Aggies have lost back to back SEC series.

Cats lineup

Lineup for Texas A&M

 

[Comebakatz3]

Steal tonight's game and I like our chances to win the series.

Florida going to go to 3-7. Crazy.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Thoughts on the change of tradition with blacks no longer being the Sunday kit?

 

[Comebakatz3]

Blue Bell Park is great but that T-mobile sign is distracting.

Anything to change the mojo around the team. But I don’t like messing with tradition.

What’s wrong with Florida? Never thought I’d see them struggle like this.

Not really sure. Haven't really watched or paid attention to be honest.

At a minimum, have to like that we worked 25 pitches. Couldn't score, but that's still a fairly successful first inning

We all knew when double nickel was up to bat it would be the end of the inning. He just can’t hit

 

[Big_Blue_1018]

Kentucky missed a golden chance to jump ahead. Aggies coming to bat.

 

[Basil Cat]

Fogel with his normal plate appearance result.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Fogel with a great play out in right to catch one and run immediately into the wall.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Feel good about that first inning. Just 10 or 11 pitches for Hazelwood

 

[Basil Cat]

I criticize him plenty, but Fogel with a great defensive play against the wall.

Part of it isn't his fault. He's just not really a 5 hole hitter and Mingione been trying all year to force him to be that.

 

[Old_Red]

Yeah, buddy... That was a fearless catch by Fogel. He seems unfocused at the plate but that was something that might get him focused.

Might have rung his bell a bit.

 

[Comebakatz3]

"Nick Mingione loves the transfer portal."

You don't say!? Lol

 

[Old_Red]

We gave the pitcher a very easy 2nd inning. Kind of negates that first inning.

 

[Comebakatz3]

That's a great throw by Zo.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Wow I thought Jump was going to be way out of the park. Looked like he got all of that one.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Fogel delivers with a single after Ritter reached on a single and second.

 

[Basil Cat]

Fogel delivers! Credit where due.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Zo with a single through the left side scores Fogel.

 

[Old_Red]

Fogel delivers with a single after Ritter reached on a single and second.

After crashing into the fence, he is invested in this game. That steal though... Looked like he was out if it was actually in the glove.

 

[Basil Cat]

Wonder how much longer we stay with Mason. I know he’s on a pitch count.

He never ever got to the bag. He was likely also out at home with a better thrown there. Sending him on that one was gutsy.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Wonder how much longer we stay with Mason. I know he’s on a pitch count.

Well, he's getting hit some now so he won't be in much longer with getting hit and having a pitch count.

2-1

Do we do what we did a week ago and go to Hagenow?

I think so.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Yep we're going to Hagenow with runners at first and second and 2 outs.

 

[Basil Cat]

Hopefully still a good confidence builder for MH. We need him. You hear now about guys coming back from TJ and seeing velocity jumps. Optimistic Mason gets there.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Hagenow got a K to end it. Thought he left up a couple 77mph off speed pitches, but the batter swung through them.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Wow that hit... thought there was no way that was hit that far. Heck, I thought it was foul off the bat.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Cats running a ton tonight.

 

[Basil Cat]

That looked to be a brutal called strike 3 on Rubalcaba.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Let's see how Hagenow handles the ball chant. Seems cool..maybe a good visit from Roszel

 

[Comebakatz3]

That looked to be a brutal called strike 3 on Rubalcaba.

Not so sure he didn't go regardless. The bat went a petty long way I thought.

 

[Comebakatz3]

7 straight balls and 2 mound visits from UK, one official and one with Zo and Estep. Throws a strike.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Hagenow coming out now after a second walk. Harney now? We shall see...

 

[Comebakatz3]

Harney it is. He's typically a strong stopper.
