Kentucky v. Delaware
- Thread starter Comebakatz3
- Start date
First pitch for Saturday’s game against the Blue Hens is scheduled for noon and fans can listen on the UK Sports Network via UKathletics.com and iHeart Radio or 98.5 FM in the Lexington area. The game will also be aired on CUSA.tv ($) online.
Bottom of the 7th looming with UK up 3-0. Lewis pitching great and is still in the game I believe.
Delaware threatening a bit now. One out in the 8th and Salow is pitching. Mahan couldn't handle a grounder at second and then Salow threw away a comebacker that should have been a double play.
The Blue Hens get another base hit and the bases are loaded. They called the Mahan misplay a hit I believe.
Why did they take Lewis out, only had threw 78 pitches thru 7 innings. That is a Low count for a starter, Salow doen not have it today !
Beats me. Also don't understand going to Salow in the 8th. Who is our closer?
If the Cats wind up blowing this game it is on the coaches IMO. Lewis was on cruise control, and then Kaboom. Funny on Friday they left Hjelle in when he was getting lit up like a girl's slow pitch softball pitcher, and today they yank a very effective Justin Lewis. Part of being a young staff I guess.
Top of the lineup couldn't scratch and UK goes down 4-3 to Delaware. Extremely bad loss to a team that was just 1-5 coming into this game.
We have lost 5 games by a total of 6 runs, Cats are now 0-4 in 1 run games. Maybe a lesson learned today about finishing a game, at least we probably know we have 2 weekend starters, ( Logue and Lewis ). The other one could be Thompson the Freshman, who pitched well at Liberty.
As bad as it pains me to say it, I almost thought Gary Henderson was back in the UK dugout today.
I think the Pompey experiment needs to end. He went 0 for 5 today and is hitting .222. Cottam needs to be in the lineup. Squires provides solid defense but we have to do better than .222. Have to find some consistency out of the pitchers. Salow was amazing a week ago and today he was all right and should have gotten out of the inning but he committed and error and then fell apart.
Also, with college pitching there is zero reason not to have someone ready to come in the game in a moments notice from the 5th inning on. Always have someone warm because things turn quickly. Salow should have been done after he gave up the first run or at the latest after the first double.

I don't think that anyone is necessarily jumping ship but these early-season struggles don't really make it easy to believe that we will be extremely successful during the difficult conference schedule. It's possible but we still need some guys to step up at multiple positions.
Horrible decision making so far this year. Not optimistic from what I've seen out of Ming so far. He's about to step up to big league competition so it could get worse before it gets better.
