Kentucky at Texas Tech (Saturday)

[Comebakatz3]

Not sure what's happened so far. I'm late because of basketball, but we're down 1-0. Ramsey just balked, so I think there are two outs with a runner on second.

 

[Comebakatz3]

 

[Comebakatz3]

Shinny doubles to right. Reed flies out.

A bit different lineup today. Collett hitting 3, Shinn 4, Reed 5 and Shelby 6.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Shelby strikes out.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Wow!!! ARod pops up but the wind does crazy stuff with it and it lands between two Red Raiders and Shinn scores for UK to tie it in the top of the 2nd. Arod steals on the first pitch.

1-1

 

[Comebakatz3]

Gei strikes out. Still good to see that we got the run back.

 

[Comebakatz3]

That lead was short lived. Wind helps Neuse hit one out to center. 2-1.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Ramsey not keeping the ball down. Gives up a double in the alley that Hill laid out for, but couldn't squeeze. Heck of an effort by him though.

 

[Comebakatz3]

By the way, Kessler was so sick he didn't make the trip.

Hill gets one on the track for out number two. Warren tags. Holt now up with a runner at 3rd.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Ground out ends the Tech 2nd. 2-1 Tech.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Lewis walks on 4 straight and Daniel grounds into a double play.

 

[Comebakatz3]

A review for UK. I'd like to know what Mingione's record on these is. I think it's super bad. Lol. 0-3 on the weekend.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Cam Hill takes a hanging breaking ball and hits a double into the right field corner.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Cam Hill doing Cam Hill things and easily steals third with the shift on. If Collett bunts then it is an easy score.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Hill is halfway to home with no one holding him on. No f's are given. Umpires warn Kentucky bench. Collett grounds out to first.

 

[Jeff Drummond]

SHINNY!

 

[Jeff Drummond]

3-run HR puts Cats up 5-2, T5

 

[Comebakatz3]

Shinny goes long to put UK up 5-2!!!!

 

[Jeff Drummond]

You can't have your team go get you a 5-2 lead late in the game and give up a run, load the bases with no outs as soon as you go back out there. Not a good outing for Ramsey.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Danger zone. Bases juiced noone out.

 

[Jeff Drummond]

Bullpen disaster in Lubbock so far.

5-4 game. Still loaded with no outs.

 

[Jeff Drummond]

Another HR for Neuse of Tech. Cats trail 8-5.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Grand slam. Ugh.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Our bullpen is bad.

 

[Comebakatz3]

8 to 5 going to the 6th

 

[Comebakatz3]

Lewis with an RBI double after ARod reaches on an error and Gei walks. New pitcher.

 

[Comebakatz3]

UK fails to take advantage. Get just one. The top of the lineup is struggling.

 

[chill133]

I hate that bunting with 2 strikes!!

 

[Comebakatz3]

I hate that bunting with 2 strikes!!

Yep. I suspect that was a call from the bench.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Wow... Holt runs into the wall after catching a ball and he drops it and Reed gets a triple off of it. Holt banged up.

 

[Comebakatz3]

They are going to review it. I think that they will win their first review.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Wow. It stands. Reed gets to stay at third. Break for UK.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Shelby brings him in with a fielder's choice. 7 to 8 now.

 

[chill133]

Yep. I suspect that was a call from the bench.

Had to be since Gei was crashing

 

[Comebakatz3]

Had to be since Gei was crashing

Gotcha. Risky play call with the strikeout in play.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Cats turn a single to right into a round tripper via 2 errors on one play. Now 10-7 TT. Cats rank last in the SEC in fielding %

 

[Comebakatz3]

Bullpen and infield defense is bad.

 

[Jeff Drummond]

Cats turn a single to right into a round tripper via 2 errors on one play. Now 10-7 TT. Cats rank last in the SEC in fielding %

Not where Minge said he wanted to be on Media Day.

Bullpen and defense are quickest ways to lose games in NCAA, and the Cats have shown that in Lubbock. They've outplayed the Red Raiders in some ways.

The defense in the infield has to get better. I can give them a pass for last weekend because of the crazy rain and conditions, but there isn't much reason for it playing on turf this weekend.
