Cats vs NKU Tuesday...

[CloverforkCat]

UK takes on the Norse @ 6:30pm at the Cliff. UK has a record of 17-6 and is ranked as high as 12th in one poll, whild being ranked # 24 by Baseball America.
A true test after climbing the polls is not to get big headed, and take care of business. NKU does not have a good record 7-15 and is 0-6 in the Horizion league.
Not been announced who will start on the mound for UK, possibly Pop, Dwyer, or Logue. Look for Conner Heady to get a start at SS or 2nd, seeing his older brother is a starter for the Norse.

Damn it Mahan

UK was leading 3-2 going to the 6th, gave up a solo HR, a misplayed fly ball, an error, and a double produces 3 NKU runs, and the Norse now lead 5-3 going to bottom of 6th.

NKU up 5-3 going to the bottom of the 6th.

That's 18 E6's in 24 games for 2. Pitiful!

Unbelievable. We just lost to a team that is 7-16. Beat the number 1 team in the country in two games and then lose to Northern Kentucky. WTF...

 

[DubyaT]

Freaking Northern Kentucky beats UK 5-4, two days after UK wins a series against the #1 ranked Florida Gators. Just inexcusably bad. Yet another horrible midweek loss, which has been a trend for UK under Henderson. This isn't high powered UofL baseball from the strong ACC or even WKU out of CUSA (a solid baseball conference). NKU out of the Horizon League. When UK scuffles through some SEC series and has a borderline NCAA resume, UK doesn't need to be griping if it gets left out or gets seeded lower when you have some of the bad losses this UK team has already suffered.

Kendall Rogers notes on Twitter than NKU has a stellar RPI of 276.

He was not alone tonight, Shelby air mailed a routine throw, and Wilson stumbled on a blade of grass on a routine fly that would have ended the inning.

Would like to say I'm surprised, but I'm not and this is the norm under this HC's tenure here

I didn't get to go to the game because of a school assignment, but that's a terrible loss.

Death, taxes and an E6 from 2!

Death, taxes and an E6 from 2!

One score of note from today...Otis 17..WKU 0

Hard to figure... UK topples the best team in the country and then loses to a team that gets just their 8th win. Tyler Miller for NKU has an ERA around 7 and UK can only get 3 earned runs against him and they only get 7 hits for the game. Squires continues to hit well below .200 and added no hits to his total for the season. Mahan continues to make errors, his 18th in 24 games. Pop continues to struggle as he only goes 4 innings. It looks more and more as though Justin Lewis is going to be the guy that Henderson leans on all season long.

I don't know... I understand that it is baseball and you can lose to any team at any time, but this is ridiculous. None of our losses to date have been really bad. They have been disappointing, but they haven't been awful. This one was awful. Even more so because it takes a lot of the wind out of the sails from our weekend win. Still, if you win on the weekends in the SEC then it doesn't matter what you do during the midweek.

Or if you coach baseball at UK.
