Kentucky @ Tennessee (Friday)
- Thread starter Comebakatz3
- Start date
Lewis for Estep...how stupid. Telling you they are walking on thin ice with this kid!! The sooner NM is released, the better off this program will be. Onu is the most overated player on this team , but gets ever benefit of the doubt. Shelby should be playing everyday as well😤😤⚾️⚾️
I think the staff is walking on thin ice with everyone. Not sure many of his players like or respect him.
Cant listen to the TV broadcast because it's UT announcer Bob Kesling and he's absolutely terrible. Crank up the radio!
UK hit it hard but to no luck. Schultz got a line drive single up the middle, but Collett lined out to first for a double play and Rhodes lined out to third.
UK can’t get swept this weekend. Here is hoping they take the pressure off by getting a win tonight.
Leadoff single to right. Hill brings in out number one in right center. Harney gets a full count K and then hits a batter on the next pitch. Russell up, a dangerous bat. Hill brings in another, this one hit fairly well, but Cam had a bead on it the whole way.
0-0 going to 2
0-0 going to 2
Kessler rolled out to second. Anu can't put the bat on the curve and he strikes out. Church strikes out but the pitch gets past the catcher and he's safe at first. Ritter reaches on an infield single as the third baseman juggles the ball on the exchange. Tough play to make. Hill works a full count and he goes down swinging.
UK shifting after UT gets 2 strikes so they play them straight up until the bunt gets risky. Harney gets a K to start the 2nd. Line out to Ritter for out 2. He hits another batter. Base hit to right puts 2 on for UT with 2 outs. Strikeout to end the 2nd.

Lewis goes to right field and it bounces over the fence and goes for a ground rule double.
Big chance here for UK.

Schultz first pitch swinging pops out in the infield. Very poor at bat from Austin. He's got to at least do something to move Lewis over.
Collett moves Lewis to third on a grounder to first, but it's out 2.
Rhodes watches strike 3 and the inning ends. Bad hitting from the top of the lineup.

Deep fly to center goes as the first out. Got away with that one. It was just shy of the 365 foot warning track in right center. Harney gets his 4th K. Pretty good battle brews for the last out of the third. Harney already over 50 pitches in this one. Deep fly to right center ends the third.

Kessler flies out to deep center, just a shade short of the warning track. Anu goes oppo to right for a base hit. Slapped that through the hole where second had shifted away from.
Church being aggressive and swings through three strikes for the second out. Ritter grounds out to short to end the UK half.
UK has struck out 5 times. This isn't a big strikeout pitcher and he's sitting down UK hitters.

Pop up to Collett for out number one. Another one, Ritter takes it for out 2. Double to left off the wall. Lewis shows his value as he knocks down a liner his way and throws the runner out at first to end the 4th. That ball bounced and caught him in a bad spot, but he stuck with it and made the play.

Hill bunts but Tennessee is ready for it and they throw him out at first. Just couldn't get it to die quite enough. Lewis grounds out to short. Schultz grounds out to second. That's a quick one for UTs starter.
One pitch... 0-1 Vols. Over the left field wall. God, I hate Tennessee. That from the 9 hole hitter. Just can't have that.
Harney above 70 pitches and he gives up a 4 pitch walk. UK bullpen warming. Degen up in the pen. Odd choice.
Fly ball to left center finds Hill's glove on the warning track. I think Hill thought that was a bit closer to the wall than it was. Harney gets a K for out 2. Fly to second ends the 5th.
0-1 Vols
0-1 Vols
Collett goes oppo for a single to start the 5th. He just kind of swatted that one over short and into the gap. UT got a couple pitchers working in the pen now. Rhodes works a full count and hits a 2 run ROUND TRIPPER to give UK the lead 2-1!!!
Kessler goes to right and follows it up with a line drive single. Vols with a mound visit, but he'll stay in.
Anu grounds into a fielder's choice 5-4 for out 1. Plastiak hitting for Church now. Wild pitch advanced Anu to second. Ugh. Anu picked off. Then Plastiak strikes out. Ugly ending to what could have been a huge inning.
Degen in for the 6th. Weird choice in a close game to throw a guy who has 8 innings pitched this season.
Grounder finds Plastiak immediately and he throws it wide. They call the runner out with a tag, but they will review. TJ made a scoop and swipe all in one motion and they call him out. Amazing play by Collett.
Vitello picks up a warning to stop arguing.

Huge home run over the batters eye ties the ball game at 2 each. That went well over 400.
Strikeout for out 2. Grounder to Lewis ends it.
Going to 7th tied 2-2

Ritter singles to left with a nice liner. Hill does his job and bunts him over to second. Ritter had a possible chance to take third, I'm not sure anyone ever covered it after the bunt.
UT going to the pen. Bringing in mustache guy.

Tennessee threw this guy last night for some reason. Lewis flies out to right and advances Ritter. That was a high fly that had a lot of carry, but found a glove. Schultz up and he hits a base hit up the middle to give UK the lead again. 3-2.
Ground out to short. UT fans think he beat it, so they will review. It's hard to tell. They called it out on the field but they'll change it. I think that's a bad overturn. That's not clear enough to change in my opinion.
Kessler going to chat with Degen. Not sure if he's discussing strategy or delaying. Rucker up, he has struck out 3 times tonight. Make that 4 times. Give him the Golden Sombrero! Roszel coming out to bring in Rigsby.
The Dancing Outlaw still in and he's fallen behind 3-1. Scary spot. Grounder right back to Degen and the inning ends.
3-2 to the 8th
3-2 to the 8th
New pitcher for UT to try to keep this at 1. Rhodes works another full count and draws a leadoff walk. Let's see how UK plays this. Kessler up.
Vols have been a team that is used to close games, and they win their fair share of them. They seem to have a knack for it. So, UK needs to get insurance.
Always amusing to me that Kessler seems to be the one to miss the signal call more than anyone else. Kessler goes down swinging.

UTs stadium is trash. Lol, my random thoughts... but the picnic parking lot thing is stupid.
Anu up. This UK lineup theoretically has a lot of power top to bottom, and Anu's first swing looked like he was trying to put it in the Tennessee River. Just wild. He goes down swinging for out 2.
Plastiak HOME RUN!!! 5-2 UK
