Kentucky v. Missouri (Friday)

[Old_Red]

I hope he leave Hjelle in at least for this inning.

 

[TheySoSensitive]

Why are we DHing a guy that's such a bad hitter? I mean surely there's a true freshman or something with a better bat than that friggin guy. Shinn looked pretty clueless as well unless I missed a hit somewhere.

 

[DubyaT]

Y'all think Pompey could have gotten to that ball in the 7th if he would have laid out?

 

[Old_Red]

Why be so careful pitching to a 0.178 hitter?

 

[irishcat1965]

Outstanding recovery by Hjelle to finish the inning.

It’s dumb. There is the simple answer.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Hjelle gets out of it, runner on 3rd, 1 out. Need more runs, as Sikkama comes out for the 7th at 106 pitches.

 

[Old_Red]

Great at bat by Dawson: 7 pitch at bat that resulted in a single up the middle.

 

[Old_Red]

Ball looks to be a really solid middle relief guy. Got Pompey with a great pitch inside.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

How about UK softball tonight, beat UT by a 9-8 score in extra innings. UK ladies hit SIX home runs in the game !

 

[Old_Red]

Cottam's single highlights the fact that we got the leadoff runner on and got two outs without moving him a base.

 

[irishcat1965]

Terrible strike call by the umpire. What the hell did he see? Then Luke watches a strike right down Broadway.

 

[TheySoSensitive]

Then evidently the ump followed him running his mouth. Absolutely uncalled for. He has to act like a grown up there, bush league to follow and yell at the batter who has his back turned and is walking away...

 

[irishcat1965]

Hjelle has been brilliant.

Especially after the umpire called a strike that was way outside and eye level.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

3 more outs, come on Cats nail it down !

 

[Comebakatz3]

Mach coming in for the 9th to try to close this out.

 

[Comebakatz3]

WOW!!!!

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

I believe he will be ruled safe .... Crap !

 

[Comebakatz3]

Mach leaves one up that hits high off the blue monster in right. Johnson then throws the runner out at second... I think the replay will show that he's safe going back to second.

 

[TheySoSensitive]

He was safe...

 

[TheySoSensitive]

Focus on the next one, get this sucker over with.

 

[Comebakatz3]

I definitely think he's safe.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Rushed throw by Johnson left it high, otherwise he'd be out by a mile. He played that somewhat poorly off the wall.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Mach is throwing heat but not quite high enough. Leaving it in a scary spot. Next one was too high. He's got to get it right at the numbers.

STRIKEOUT!!! UK TAKES GAME ONE!!

 

[Comebakatz3]

Filthy filthy curveball.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Rushed throw by Johnson left it high, otherwise he'd be out by a mile. He played that somewhat poorly off the wall.

Too close to the wall, he got handcuffed.

 

[rudd1]

-kid that hit the blue monster's dad and sister were sitting in front of us. They were elated...and then they weren't. *Almost* felt bad for them.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Big time win. This puts us ahead of Missouri and Miss. State in the standings.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Too close to the wall, he got handcuffed.

Yea. But have to know that that ball is either over the wall or off of it and have to back up. Can't let it roll back towards the infield. Tough play though.

 

[irishcat1965]

Must win and they got it. UK needs to get the bats going.

Would love to see Haake have a great outing tomorrow.

 

[irishcat1965]

Would love to see Haake have a great outing tomorrow.

I can’t help but think back to that Bama game he pitched so well but was not pulled. Just that one win would have UK above .500 in the SEC right now and winning 4 out of 6 SEC series so far.

 

[DubyaT]

Would love to see Haake have a great outing tomorrow.

Yep, and would also like to see the bats come alive to give him some breathing room. UK has fallen behind early in too many Saturday games.

 

[STUCKNBIG10]

I was at the game, great game by Hjelle and gritty team win. Crowd was very good, it's nice to see the turnout for the team this year. Winning tomorrow would be huge and set us up for a sweep.

 

[Old_Red]

That was a great outing by Hjelle. Only 14 pitches by Machamer. That's a great start to the weekend.

 

[ulismyman]

The angle pompey took on that double was little league...terrible effort

Pompey is definitely not a polished outfielder. Pretty athletic guy, but not really anything special on defense.

There also sec B row 10... friend and I did the Keenland double. Did ok at the track and CATS win!!

 

[sluggercatfan]

Rodriguez is a terrible batter. Absolutely terrible.

It's not his fault he's playing , he just is not a very good hitter. They need to go another route because he and Shinn are not getting it done. I don't think Shin will not get better till he gets that hitch out of his swing.
