Kentucky @ Alabama - Game 3 last chance

[Old_Red]

Nobody started it. Can we get a single game? Started out leaving two runners in the first inning and giving up a double in the bottom of the first.

Looked like a mistake pitch to me. Wasn't belt high but was close.

 

[Old_Red]

And now a home run given up to Taylor. We are starting where we left off last game.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Lewis gives up more home runs than the BP pitcher.

UK down 2-0.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Lewis gives up more home runs than the BP pitcher.

UK down 2-0.

That looked to be a can of corn, and the wind grabbed it. Just our luck, great play by A Rod !

 

[Comebakatz3]

Cottam hits his 12th of the year to cut the lead in half!

 

[Comebakatz3]

This is another weird lineup.

Shinn is DH. Heyer in left. Pompey in right. ARod at 3rd.

 

[Gabewcat]

I hate the fact that Coach Ming took the bat out of Squires hands an gave away an out early in the game when Alabama blasts a homer and takes a 2-0 lead with a homer. Now the Cottam cuts the lead in half and a pitching change to a righty, it is time to bring in Collett into the game.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Yeah, that's our luck, but Lewis has given up I believe 8 home runs this year.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Cats have out hit Bama 4 to 2, but still trail 2-1 going to bottom of the 3rd.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

• Our bats have gone somewhat quiet here in the 3rd and 4t innings. Hope that J Lew can keep the Tide's bats quiet. Great and funny interview with Hakke earlier, his team mates gave him some grief !

 

[Old_Red]

We have hit more fielder's choice balls this series than I can remember. We just aren't getting timely hitting at all.

 

[Old_Red]

Justin Lewis pressing too. Throws that wild patch with a throwing motion that was so rushed, he couldn't have been focusing.

 

[Comebakatz3]

It kills me when it's the 5th or 6th inning and we don't have someone warmed up. It's the most likely time someone gets into trouble. Why not prepare for it!?!

 

[Comebakatz3]

Shinn with a clutch hit to tie it!

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Heyer with a 1 out double, Cottam singles to left off the Bama 3rd baseman, Heyer to 3rd. Shinn with an RBI double, tied at 2-2.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Johnson going to hit for Arod and Bama goes to the bullpen again.

 

[Comebakatz3]

UK with a big chance here with 1 out.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Johnson strikes out. That's our weekend.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Then Dawson tries to do a 2 out squeeze and pops out. Dumb.

 

[Jeff Drummond]

A bunt??? What in the world?

 

[irishcat1965]

Then Dawson tries to do a 2 out squeeze and pops out. Dumb.

Are they trying to lose games this weekend? It’s truly unreal.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Golden opportunity to take the lead blown !

 

[Old_Red]

It seems like the staff has outsmarted itself all weekend. Leaving Haake in too long and this are just the latest in a series of faux pas.

 

[law1127]

We look like we haven’t won a game all season. Very passive batting and dugout. Something ain’t right.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Going to the 7th. Need to get a lead.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Are they trying to lose games this weekend? It’s truly unreal.

Feels like it. Just everything seems like a silly mistake. Very frustrating. It's one thing to lose to a better team, but losing because we're just dumb is painful.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Pompey home run!!!

 

[Comebakatz3]

3-2 UK in the 7th.

 

[Jeff Drummond]

Tristan Pompey solo HR puts UK up 3-2 over Bama in T7.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Pompey solo blast, and Squires HBP to open the 7th.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Heyer single puts UK up 4-2!

 

[Jeff Drummond]

Heyer RBI single makes it 4-2 Cats in T7. First inning this weekend that UK has scored multiple runs, per @Darren_Headrick

 

[Jeff Drummond]

UK leaves the bases loaded. Gotta hope that doesn't come back to haunt.

 

[irishcat1965]

I don’t understand this two out bunt stuff over and over. Or having TJ trying to bunt. Just head scratching stuff by a coach who pushed all the right buttons last year.

 

[Comebakatz3]

About time to take Lewis out. Don't make the same mistake today as we did yesterday.

UK should have gone with Coleman yesterday. They probably would have been playing for the series win today.

Sounds like he's up in the bullpen right now. If he walks this guy then it's bullpen time IMO.

 

[Jeff Drummond]

End of 7: Kentucky 4, Alabama 2. Justin Lewis gave Cats just what they needed today: 7 IP, 2 ER, 5H, 1 BB, 6 K

 

[irishcat1965]

I considered yesterday a must win. I don’t know the term for how badly needing the win today. Lol

 

[irishcat1965]

Lewis, Haake and Hjelle have given what UK needed this weekend. This has been on the coaching staff and hitters.
