Kentucky at Georgia (DH)

[Comebakatz3]

Under way. Bosma working quickly with 2 strikeouts already.

 

[LukaszObrzut]

Horrible base running in the 2nd inning prevents UK from getting on board…

 

[Comebakatz3]

No one was covering first. McCarthy could have just gone back and didn't notice it.

 

[barbourfor3]

Base running error cost ‘em at least one run, probably more. Not sure how you don’t get at least one run there

 

[Comebakatz3]

Cats give up a couple hits to the bottom of the order and we're down 1

 

[LukaszObrzut]

Good pitching but the shift up the middle cost UK. Should ve been a routine grounder to 2nd - tough breaks so far.

 

[permdaddy]

Shift cost us one there

 

[permdaddy]

Are you kidding me. Not our day

 

[ukcat27]

23 of last 24....

 

[permdaddy]

Nice job fielding the bunt and getting us out of a jam

Not gonna get this one I think. Been a head scratcher since the base running debacle. Still haven't figured out how you don't score there. Just win the series. With only 7 innings you need to start fast...only three hits on the day and one more inning at bat.

 

[barbourfor3]

Cats will rally next inning - screw Georgia

 

[permdaddy]

Hard to win when every single 50/50 goes the other way

 

[permdaddy]

Not our day. Felt like it from the beginning

 

[LukaszObrzut]

Screw that UGA pitcher

 

[Basil Cat]

Screw that UGA pitcher

Really thought that may fire up the team. We just kind of “took it”. Hopefully next game we exact some revenge.

 

[permdaddy]

terrible start

 

[Comebakatz3]

Not ideal. Down 3-0 going to the second. This one is a 7 inning affair as well

 

[permdaddy]

2nd but still not ideal. This one feels bigger than a typical rubber match with the schedule that lies ahead

Yep. I edited. Got ahead of myself apparently.

Now going to bottom 2. UK piling up strikeouts.

 

[permdaddy]

Whoever is calling pitches for UGA has done a hell of a job. We have been off balance looking for the wrong pitch all day.

The fact that they don't have to go to the pen in these short games is a big disadvantage to UK.

True. Not a fan of 7 inning games myself

I’m not a fan either and I know the rules and sorta the reasoning for them. But don’t like them at all.

I think they helped us some a year ago. Hurting us in this one. UGA has a terrible bullpen and we've got a great one. Longer games would greatly favor us.

Yep. If they didn't have to go to the pen Friday they are going for the sweep right now.

Without a doubt. Stricklin really botched that game anyway. Horrible bullpen management.

 

[Old_Red]

Haven't strung anything good together all day. That debacle in the first game when they got what should have been a double and ended up getting an out and no run was the closest thing to something good.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Line drive home run to center makes it 4-0 UGA. UK has to regroup and refocus.

 

[permdaddy]

Wonderful fun season for the Cats so far but today has been equally miserable. With UL and LSU coming up they really need to find their mojo and fast

 

[Old_Red]

Bringing in Hagenow. If we don't wake up on offense, it wont matter.

 

[permdaddy]

UGA starters had shut us out in 18 of 19 innings before the 2 this inning.

Here we go

 

[Comebakatz3]

Here we go

UK waking up a bit

 

[Old_Red]

We are depending too much on getting walks and HBP's and need more offense.

 

[Basil Cat]

If the Cats do not find a way to salvage this series. I fear an epic down slide is on the table.

Kinda who we are this year with the lack of power. We bunt, walk and run every chance we get to manufacture runs.

That's true unfortunately. There are a lot of competent staffs in the SEC so you won't get many free passes against them.

It's on the table either way with the schedule we have remaining. Hopefully it doesn't but it's possible.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Aaand another home run. There goes cutting that lead in half
