Florida @ Kentucky (Saturday)

Another leadoff hitter. Rivera beats out the throw from Ritter. It is a slow chopper and Ritter had to go a long way to run it down. They will review this.
 
He is out. At least, by review. Let's see if they actually get the call right for once. Yes. They will review and call him out. It did not look like he was out live, but he clearly was upon review.

Strikeout for Degen and then he gets a grounder to Church to end the top of the 7th.

Still down 4-0.
 
Ritter strikes out for the third time today. Just has not adjusted at all this game.

Lewis lines out to right. He hit the ball pretty well, but right at the right fielder.

Hill hit by a pitch. That was the intentional one. Almost guarantee it. Headrick disagrees with me, but it was square in the back. Hill wears it and takes his base.

That will be it for the UF starter as they go to the bullpen. He was at pitch 111.
 
Scott comes in to pitch and UK replaces Church with Plastiak. Interesting choice in a way. Not sure why they just didn't bring him in to play 3rd to begin with. Plastiak works a full count. At least 6 pitches in this at bat, so UK gets a good look at Scott in this one. He walks and UK has 2 on and 2 out.
 
Schultz now up. Falls behind early in the count, 0-2 and then he looks at a 1-2 ball on the outside corner for out 3. Unacceptable. Cannot strike out looking once again.

Degen still out there in the 8th. He works ahead, but can't get the out pitch and he gives up a leadoff double on a grounder that gets past Plastiak and into the corner in left.

Hickey hits a deep one to center. Hill brings it in on the warning track and it goes as a deep fly, sacrifice.

Intentionally walking Fabian once again.

I think this might be the spot where UK needs to go to the pen again. UF has seen Degen a time or two and he is getting hit pretty hard at this point. Would be good to go to another arm.

A shallow fly into center but it is not in time to get the speedy Young at the plate. 5-0
 
Ground ball on a full count gets past Plastiak, but Ritter shows the range and he throws it to first, but it pulls Collett off the bag. Despite that, Collett drops the tag on the runner and UK gets out of the inning.

Going to the bottom half of the 8th with UK trailing 5-0.
 
Instead of UK guys coming out fired up today after last night, it seems like Fla made UK players and HC PTB last night.
 
UK started this inning with a whimper.... Ground ball to first by Collett and a first pitch fly ball to center by Rhodes. Kessler wakes up UK and gets them on the scoreboard as he hits a long fly ball off the glove of the bullpen catcher for a HOME RUN to left. 1-5.
 
UK just deposited one in both bullpens to get back into this. Need to wake up and make sure that we're not done yet. Running out of at bats and outs, but that should wake us up a bit.
 
Ritter takes 3 straight balls before seeing a get me over strike that barely touched the outside corner. They then call an extremely low pitch a strike. That thing must have painted the knees, but the next pitch is high and ball 4.

O'Sullivan out to make a pitching change to face Lewis.
 
UF going to Leftwich, I believe. He is the guy that showed up the UK dugout last night and started the celebration on the mound. This is UK's chance to get back at him as they have a runner on first with 2 outs, down 5-2 in the bottom of the 8th.
 
Wow! UK finally catches a break. Lewis lines one off Leftiwch's glove that pops straight into the air and drops just behind the SS. That thing was seeking Leftwich's head, but he got the glove on it to deflect it away.

Hill then golfs the first pitch and it goes for a long out to center.

Cats got a few back, but we're getting near the end of this one down 5-2 going to the 9th.
 
Ramsey not sharp here. UK better have someone ready and working. I mean, he overthrew one of those outside of the opposite batter's box. Just held a fastball way way way too long.

He works a full count, with one of those being a pitch off the nub of the bat inside. He gets a pop up to Lewis for out 1.

Another full count as when Ramsey misses he is missing pretty badly, but he is getting some in the zone. This one ends differently as it is lined into right for a base hit.

Wild pitch advances the runner. There are apparently certain pitches that Ramsey just cannot get a grip on and they are WAY wild. Here is another one that moves the runner to third. Another full count. Ball 4

UK needs to take him out. They do not seem to be making the move. 10 walks today. Ohh... and here comes Roszel... let's see what he does here. Going to go to the pen. Harper coming in.

Being mean I guess , but Ramsey now reminds me of the young pitcher from Bull Durham😱⚾️😎

UF squares to bunt twice and they are both strikes. The second one looked a bit high and outside. Squaring again and this one is a ball. UK will have to make a decision here if he gets it down. Another ball.

Headrick thinks he's been at the ballpark longer than he has. Game started at 2, so we're 3 and a half (or so) hours in. Headrick thinks it has been 4. Kind of funny.

Harper walks him. Bases loaded.
 
Ground ball past Ritter and Plastiak to score two runs. 7-2 UF. That should end it for UK barring a miracle.
 
2 run double down the right field line scores 2 more to make the 9-2. 9th inning is UK kryptonite in this series.
 
Grounder to third and then a pop up to second finally ends it.

Going to the last 3 outs with UK down 9-2.
 
Strike out for Plastiak.

Schultz strikes out for the third time today.

Collett falls behind quickly, but he battles and fouls off a whole lot of pitches, he's at the 8th pitch in the at bat and a 2-2 count. He sees a total of something like 9 pitches before hitting a single up the middle. Outstanding at bat for Collett.

Rhodes flies out to left to end the game and the series. Florida takes it 9-2.
 
Once again, UF walking over UK's mound to celebrate, but this time they do go around the B3N logo.
 
Again, I think Mingione needs to get thrown out there. Fire up your team even more and show them that you're willing to do everything you can to protect them. The somewhat reserved argument is good, but go the extra mile...
Mingione is just too “nice” in my opinion. I thought he was maybe too reserved this weekend.

Seasons over...will lose 5 of the next 6( maybe 0-6)SEC games finishing 12-18. We should be getting a new HC next year, but that can has been kicked down the road.

They have a chance against Carolina but it wouldn’t shock me if Vandy sweeps us.
 
UK must recruit and sign better players then develop them when they get on campus. It blows my mind that UK builds a shiny new stadium and puts this product in it. Madness.
Absolutely 100% correct. Basketball has a horrible year and they clean house. Football and baseball...hey we’ll get’em next year.
 
Just a frustrating two games. Should have won last night. And just came out completely flat today. But, what are you going to do.
