Kentucky at TCU
- Thread starter Comebakatz3
- Start date
2 walks and 2 errors equal 3 runs.Well, that was something. TCU leads 3-0 after an inning an a one out error and sac fly.
2020 feels like 2019. Tons of strikeouts. First inning should have had 2 errors that led to 3 runs.
Back to back strikeouts with 2 runners on in the top of the 7th. Both with 2 strikes. Unreal. Come on guys!
Ugh... Harper left in when clearly struggling and he walks two and then gives up a double down the line to plate them. Now 5-1.
Great job by Degen. 4 of their 5 runners that have scored reach base by walks. The other one was an infield hit that should have been scored an error. Walks and errors.
And there you have Mingione baseball the last two years: leadoff double, flyout, ground out, struck out looking. TCU is probably pretty good. We'll help them out this weekend.
It’s only one game but yeah I agree. Same losing formula as happened so often in 2019. Struck out 11 times, several in RBI situations. Issued 8 walks. Officially 1 error but the grounder to Rhodes in the first inning was an obvious error. Not sure what the official scorer saw there. 4 stolen bases against and they all looked easy.
Unfortunately, no! Let's see how the weekend goes...but certainly not an auspicious start.

Man alive, talk about an inauspicious start to the season. Hopefully we get the bats going tomorrow. They sure weren't hot today. Ramsey did not come off as a Friday starter to me but what do I know
Agree. It's early to say for certain, but like I said earlier...2020 has the same feel as 2019. Errors and walks lead to runs given up. Then UK fails to put pressure on opposing defenses and strike out instead of putting the ball in play. Those are often looking strikeouts. Then pitchers give up a bunch of walks.
Middle of the lineup was flat awful. Anu, Collett, and Kessler went something like 0 for 11 with a strikeout each. Heck, really our top 5 were pitiful. A combined 1 for 17 with 3 walks, 8 strikeouts and 6 left on base.
Sadly, I didn't get to focus in on what he was doing. At least he just gave up 1 earned and probably could and should have been out of the first if Curtis turns two on the hard hit grounder. 4 walks is too many though.
Just this week we heard the new pitching coach had really taught the pitching staff a lot. Only one game . . . . but 8 walks in 8 innings looked painfully familiar. If Ramsey is our best starter, we will lose a lot of Friday night matchups in SEC play.
