UK got two walks in the top of the first but a 4-6-3 DP ends the inning.

 

[Big_Blue_1018]

Two out double and walk comes back to bite Kentucky. Arkansas leads 2-0 after an inning.

 

[Big_Blue_1018]

Cats score 2 in top of the second but Arkansas goes up on a solo home run. Cotto gets a strikeout then immediately is replaced on the mound by Ryan Hagenow. Not sure what that’s about.

 

[Basil Cat]

Was Cotto injured ?

Appears to not be a good move.

 

[Big_Blue_1018]

And that didn’t work. A two run home run puts Arkansas up 5-2 going to the third.

 

[Big_Blue_1018]

Was Cotto injured ?

Not sure. But based on his expression when Roszell came out he wasn’t happy.

 

[1977 Cat]

Not sure. But based on his expression when Roszell came out he wasn’t happy.

Thats was a stupid move, period. And yes hind sight is 20-20.

 

[Jeff12wb]

Stupid move, but you can't be shocked anymore with this coaching staff.

Also, another error costs UK a run. Round and round we go. Rinse. Repeat.

 

[167Hike]

Did these guys just say Matt May had a stroke?

I thought I heard them say that. That’s awful.

 

[SeanCain]

I thought I heard them say that. That’s awful.

He’s fairly young guy, late 30’s?

 

[167Hike]

Damn that is sad……prayers to him and his family.


So first I hear the Anu injury news yesterday by these Arkansas broadcasters and then today the M. May news, why am I getting more UK news from Arkansas and not from UK?

 

[Basil Cat]

Pitching change, Hagenow not happy with home plate ump. Barking pretty good in his direction walking off. Can’t say I blame him.

Because Kentucky doesn’t give a damn about anything except their precious basketball team.

 

[Big_Blue_1018]

Well this has just gotten worse. 8-2 Hawgs lead. Still batting with bases loaded.

 

[Big_Blue_1018]

Harper gets out of it. Cats trail 8-2 top of the 5th.

 

[Tskware]

Both of their starting pitchers have gone into the 6th inning. This guy has only thrown 77 pitches. Sure would be nice if we got some starting pitching every once in a while

 

[Big_Blue_1018]

Cats get a run back on a solo home run. Still trail 8-3. Bottom of the 6th.

 

[Basil Cat]

Solo HR by jump. Only damage for the inning. Game may get chippy.

 

[Big_Blue_1018]

Pitching change for Kentucky. Jackson Nove takes over for Harper.

 

[Old_Red]

Batting well below 200 for this game. I will have to keep silent.

 

[Big_Blue_1018]

Well that was something. Kentucky loses 9-3. Just hope we can get out of Arkansas without a sweep.

Just an absolute pathetic showing tonight.

 

[Old_Red]

Our pitching and hitting are mismatched. If our pitching is as bad as it is, our hitting has to be a lot better. It is looking more and more like our OOC was pretty poor and deceptive up to the Ohio game.

 

[TuckyFB]

Mingione

 

[Comebakatz3]

Hmm... who goes on the mound today?

 

[CockyCat3]

Bosma will go

 

[SeanCain]

Certainly don’t need to get swept in our first SEC series.

 

[SeanCain]

Mingione

I’m not sure how UK can keep Mingione if the season falls apart.

 

[CockyCat3]

I don't think it's time to start worrying yet. Arkansas is a ridiculously good team. I think if we can pull off a win today and keep from getting swept then we've accomplished what was needed this weekend. It would have been nice to have played a clean game Friday and see what would have happened but it didn't happen and I think if we can come away with a win and not get swept by the number 3 team in the country we have done all right.

It really seems like anything can happen in the SEC this year.

Agree….. a sweep sure does look likely though unfortunately.

Don't know. Bosma pitched well against TCU. Excited to see what happens here. Weather is nice, I'm hoping they can't keep our bats down for three games in a row. Hopefully our guys are used to the natural grass now that they played a couple games on it and we'll make a bunch of plays in the field
