Kentucky at Arkansas (Game 1)

[rolaid]

5 walks already - not his night

 

[Comebakatz3]

That's 5 walks today. He'd issued just 4 previously. Maley still warming up. Arkansas hasn't even put a ball in play this inning.

Hjelle gets a K to end it. 4-1 Hogs

 

[Old_Red]

There have just been a few pitches called ball that looked like strike but it seems to have been enough to get Hjelle anxious. He hasn't had near the location he had at the beginning of the year.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Becker takes one through the hole on the right side for a leadoff single.

 

[Old_Red]

Already tired of listening to the TV Homer Arkansas announcers. Every Knight pitch is right there and should have been called a strike and no comment on the pitches by Hjelle that were strikes for Knight but balls for Hjelle.

 

[Jeff Drummond]

 

[Comebakatz3]

Custom made double play. Basically a dying quail to second that goes 6-3. Poor pitch for Cottam to swing at, but UK is the victim of some terrible luck tonight.

I have the UK app to listen to Headrick on my phone. Just pause the feed to line it up.

 

[Comebakatz3]

UK is not getting that call. That's frustrating. He is getting the outside corner on righties and UK isn't.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Same spot. Heyer strikes out. Hitters have to adjust, but like I said, it's frustrating we aren't getting that call on the mound.

 

[STUCKNBIG10]

Just not our night. Could be a really ugly series with us trying to patch together a pitching strategy on saturday with thompson out.

 

[irishcat1965]

This is a bullshit strike zone. Gives the outside pitch for a strike to Hogs and doesn’t give it to Sean. What a load of crap.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Hjelle being in there is probably a bad idea. Leadoff double.

HP ump is horrible...SH has to be perfect while Ark pitcher just has to be in the park..pathetic. SH had that struck out last inning that scored run! Must work for WalMart...

 

[Comebakatz3]

Ohh man... Hogs just barely missed a two run blast. Johnson got it right at the wall.

Runner on third. One out. Belanger coming to bring out Maley now.

 

[Comebakatz3]

I'm not sure what the next hitter looks like but I might consider a walk and attempting to get the double play.

 

[Comebakatz3]

They don't listen to me and they get a grounder to Heyer and throw out the runner at home!!

 

[ThreeHogNight]

Do you guys have any quality Left Handed relievers? The Hogs have been very vulnerable to LH pitching early in the season.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Maley gives up a single to right. Second and first now. Fletcher up.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Maley gets a come backer for out 3.

Absolutely!!!! That way the entire game so far.

Hazelwood has been really good of late. Schaenzer is serviceable. He's a frequent mid-week starter.

A couple Ramsey and Hazelwood is a true freshman who didn't do too bad last time out.

Boy we can't get any hits through.

 

[ThreeHogNight]

Thank you Sir! This is going to be a tough series, you guys have a very POTENT offense that hit the ball really hard.

I must be working too much. I had no idea Thompson was out.

We got 4 lefties on our roster. One is starter Thompson who is hurt but would have pitched tomorrow. Scheanzer is a senior midweek starter that's struggled. Hazelwood is a freshman that's been solid. He'll pitch sometime this weekend in relief. Miller is a junior transfer that I believe is redshirting.

Ramsey is a righty I believe.

 

[Comebakatz3]

The baseball gods just seem to dislike us some times this year.

Squires singles to center and advances to second on an error. Aklinski then walks.2 outs for Pompey.

 

[Old_Red]

Ramsey is a righty I believe.

You are right. I was thinking Schaenzer but drawing a blank. No wonder I'm having trouble at work. Brain is wandering.

Thank you for the information, tough break for your pitcher Thompson.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Bases juiced on a Pompey infield single. 2 outs and Arkansas is going to the pen.

 

[sluggercatfan]

If our guys have to swing at balls all weekend it won't matter.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Thank you for the information, tough break for your pitcher Thompson.

Yea. He's had a tough year and has struggled. You'll likely see us pitch Zach Haake tomorrow. He was a top 10 JUCO prospect a year ago.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Becker now up. I'm going to go ahead and complain that Becker is hitting 4th instead of Cottam/Heyer/Collett.

Becker goes up 3-0. Walked him on 4 pitches!!! 4-2

 

[Old_Red]

Darn....

 

[Comebakatz3]

Dear lord... that is not a strike and if it is at least call it for us too!

Cottam goes down swinging. Outside breaking balls made him lo ok foolish.

 

[sluggercatfan]

Ouch that hurt...one called strike was outside and he swing at other two in same spot.

 

[STUCKNBIG10]

man, just a tough night. Cottam with just a horrendous at-bat. Looks at strike one. swings at a horrible second pitch and then swings at a ball. Man, I really trust him at the plate, that was a head-scratcher.

That way entire game CB3...this guy should be umping in LL

I think that first pitch isn't typically a strike and the fact that the pitcher got that made him more protective.

Hazelwood in now.
