Kentucky at Lipscomb (Opening Day DoubleHeader)
- Thread starter Comebakatz3
- Start date
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.

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.

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.
Can anyone who went to the game give us a breakdown of what you saw? Game 2 was really disappointing.
Heard anything about Eli Small? Expected him to be in the opening day lineup.
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.

Gargett and Lawrence striking out with one out and the bases loaded was the killer. Also oddly no stolen bases all day.
Listened to much of game 2. Cleaver had multiple lead off walks. got out of all of them except for the one inning which turned out to be decisive.
Offense very disappointing, just listless and zero clutch hitting. Hope this is not a trend.

I was at both games Friday. Game 2 looked like a completely different team. Not much energy( could have been the cold weather), Poor swings on offense (maybe Lipscomb pitchers were good), lots if routine fly ball outs and lots of check swings. The k's with runners on were killers. Not sure why Small did not play in either game. To be honest Marcy and Bell looked over matched. Marcy did not hit a ball solid all day. Bell did hit the liner that was caught, but looked at a lot of called strikes.
From my view, didn't adjust quickly enough in Game Two to the conditions. Burkes obliterated two balls and had nothing to show for it. Should have been four runs. Couldn't escape one terrible half-inning. But shutting them in out in 14 of 15 innings on the day is something they should be able to work with. DHs are always hard, especially Opening Day in less than ideal conditions that drastically changed between games and a new offensive coach. I remember getting shut out in the opener to start 2023 and then they went to a Super. Probably unwise to put too much, good or bad, into one day.
