Kentucky at Lipscomb (Opening Day DoubleHeader)

[Comebakatz3]

Welcome back, baseball fans!

 

[Bullpencat]

Giving #13 all the chances. Hope he has cured the swing and miss. Great RF though.

 

[Tskware]

Burkes not in lineup. Hitting Bell 5th, pretty interesting spot. By the way, currently says 35 degrees in Nashville. ☃️

 

[Seamhead_Ninja]

Devin is catching Cleaver's first college start in Game 2. It's by design.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Pretty interesting lineup with the cleanup guy not being the traditional cleanup type.

 

[Comebakatz3]

UK hit the ball hard in the top half but right at people. Expect them to get more comfortable seeing pitches and finding gaps.

McCay with two Ks. Threw almost exclusively fastball and I think only one pitch was out of the zone.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Cats take the early lead in the top of the 2nd as with runners on the corners, Herrera hits an excuse me swing to third and the 3B tries for the barehanded pickup but can't make the play and that allows the run.

1-0 going to bottom 2.

 

[Comebakatz3]

McCay got into some trouble with a walk, a single, and an error that loaded the bases with 2 outs, but he worked a strikeout to end the threat and take us to top of the 3rd.

 

[bluecoon1]

Got out of that one, get the early jitters/hype out of the way.

 

[bluecoon1]

Heck yeah

 

[Comebakatz3]

Hage hit a 3 run round tripper to give UK a 4-0 lead.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Just prior to the Hage home run, Bell got into one and put it in the gap at the warning track in left center, but the CF for the Bison made an amazing diving catch for the out. Great sign for Bell to get into that one. Could have also been a home run if it was a warmer day.

 

[Comebakatz3]

That was a little crazy. Fly ball left of third and Herrera has to literally run through the 3B umpire to get the ball for the third out of the inning.

 

[briarcreek]

Really impressed with McCay so far

 

[bluecoon1]

Just prior to the Hage home run, Bell got into one and put it in the gap at the warning track in left center, but the CF for the Bison made an amazing diving catch for the out. Great sign for Bell to get into that one. Could have also been a home run if it was a warmer day.

Yeah, he tagged that ball.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Sorry, had a meeting at work and couldn't keep up. UK up 10-0 going to the top of the 6th

 

[Comebakatz3]

Scott Rouse now coming in to pitch for UK to start the bottom of the 6th.

I believe that this game will end early if UK holds the Bison in this inning and the next bottom half.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Cats get game 1 of the double header and the season by a score of 11-0 in just 7 innings. Game two kicks off in 30 minutes.

 

[Comebakatz3]

 

[CatchFire]

CAYUTS!

 

[Comebakatz3]

Cats fall 3-1 in game 2. Had just 3 hits.

 

[SeanCain]

Can anyone who went to the game give us a breakdown of what you saw? Game 2 was really disappointing.

 

[SeanCain]

Cats fall 3-1 in game 2. Had just 3 hits.

Three hits against Lipscomb is not great.

 

[megablue]

Are we expected to have a good bullpen this season, especially the closer ??

Heard anything about Eli Small? Expected him to be in the opening day lineup.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Got a lot of depth. Should be pretty solid I'd think

 

[Tskware]

Did not listen to game 2, but from box score, pitching was decent, only one bad inning (in 2 games actually), but zero offense. It was really cold, and it is baseball, anyone can win a given game if you get good pitching.

But dropping 2 of 3 to Lipscomb would be a kick in the nuts, need to win tomorrow.
