Kentucky at Vandy (Friday)

[Comebakatz3]

Luke Heyer goes Oppo taco for a single to right! Becker stopped at third.

 

[Comebakatz3]

New pitcher for Vandy. Good for us tomorrow.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

New pitcher for Vandy. Good for us tomorrow.

Knocking Raby out early tonight, plus, plus.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Lefty King to face Squires. Anything to the right side cuts into this lead.

 

[Comebakatz3]

King looks like he is throwing gas, but gun says 91.

Squires bloops one into center for out one and UK doesn't test the arm. Ugh.

 

[DubyaT]

Squires pops up to shallow center, not deep enough for Becker to tag from third. Combs at the plate. UK at least needs a sac fly here.

 

[DubyaT]

Combs strikes out.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Combs goes down swinging. Should have taken him down IMO.

 

[irishcat1965]

Absolutely pathetic they can’t score a run there.

 

[Tannerdad]

Pitiful inning

 

[CatMan2004]

This is a complete joke.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Thought they would take Combs down for a RH hitter.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Wild pitch and Becker gets thrown out at home. A weird slide. No idea why he didn't go feet first.

 

[Jeff Drummond]

Middle of 3rd: Vandy 3, Kentucky 1. Cats put runners at first and third with no outs and cannot score. F-8, K, CS 2-1 on wild pitch.

 

[BluegrassBlake]

Becker had all day to run home and still got thrown out. Really really bad effort there.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Pretty bad base running for UK there all around IMO.

 

[DubyaT]

This team's ineptitude right now (and awful luck) is unreal. Becker doubles to lead off, and advances to third on a single to right by Heyer. Squires pops up to shallow center, not deep enough for Becker to tag. Combs strikes out in an uncompetitive at bat. With Aklinski at the plate the ball gets well past the catcher but Becker gets a late jump and gets nailed at the plate.

 

[Old_Red]

First and third with no outs and we get nothing again.

 

[ulismyman]

Absurd

 

[DubyaT]

That's 6 left on through 3.

 

[CatMan2004]

I'm 41 and completely out of shape but I would have scored on that wild pitch lol

 

[Comebakatz3]

That's 6 left on through 3.

Technically 5 I believe since Becker was thrown out.

 

[Jeff Drummond]

Replay in baseball sucks.

 

[CatMan2004]

Technically 5 I believe since Becker was thrown out.

That's still 3 to many lol

 

[DubyaT]

I was actually proud of Fanning for playing things safe and not getting Becker nailed on Heyer's single Squires' pop out. Then that happens on one that didn't look like it should have been close.

 

[CatMan2004]

Replay in baseball sucks.

Yeah especially the ones at Vanderbilt. No zoom in on the play and terrible slow mo

Combs looked completely overwhelmed.

 

[DubyaT]

On the positive side, Ramsey has settled in and pitched pretty well since the first.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Ramsey kicked in now. Another quick inning.

 

[DubyaT]

They need to pinch hit for Combs next time up. Get some experience in there with Shinn or Johnson.

 

[Comebakatz3]

King probably going to walk through us after getting out of the jam last inning.

 

[sluggercatfan]

That was really, really bad.

Morale is hanging by a thread right now. They have so many guys hurt right now, so many close plays going against them, so many borderline ball/strikes not helping. It seems like it has snowballed.

Not me ...put the pressure on the OFer

Leave on Combs...Lewis needs to sit.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Leave on Combs...Lewis needs to sit.

Probably both...

 

[sluggercatfan]

Probably both...

Agree..

 

[Comebakatz3]

Ramsey gets a generous strike to end the inning!

 

[sluggercatfan]

Agree..

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

 

[Jeff Drummond]

END OF 4: Vandy 3, Kentucky 1. Cats' Jimmy Ramsey has a career-high 7 Ks in this emergency start.
