[TuckyFB]

Lets win this series!

 

[Comebakatz3]

Thanks Tucky.

 

[TuckyFB]

Kentucky scores, 1-0 off a hit up the middle, had guys on the corners. T2nd coming up after a base error.

 

[Old_Red]

A good play by Church to single in Rhodes followed by Anu getting too far off the bag and getting put out.

 

[TuckyFB]

Thanks Tucky.

No problem.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Cats get the lead off a Church single, but Anu makes a base running mistake to end the inning.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Lee is dealing.

 

[Old_Red]

Zach Lee seems to be hitting his stride in these OOC games. He seems confident.

 

[Comebakatz3]

The bottom of the lineup has got to improve some if this offense is going to really take off.

 

[Old_Red]

Just noticed Cam Hill is not in the lineup. Shelby promptly gets a single.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Lee can go a long way in this one. He's been efficient.

 

[Old_Red]

Softball team took the first game of a double header against Coastal Carolina 12-3.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Hopefully that dropped ball doesn't hurt us

 

[Old_Red]

Hope we aren't at the point where we strike out a lot for a while. Been a bad trend in recent games.

 

[Old_Red]

2nd game of softball is against FAU. I guess the game against Coastal Carolina that got canceled Saturday is just canceled.

 

[BlueStoops]

Lee is dominating

 

[TuckyFB]

Do we have a hitting coach? If so, he needs to be fired.

 

[Comebakatz3]

This offense is a bit concerning. Seems like if they don't hit home runs, they don't score.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Do we have a hitting coach? If so, he needs to be fired.

Guilliams. Been the hitting coach since Ming got here. He came from a small school, which was always concerning to me. However, he's a volunteer assistant, so that's at least nice.

That's nice of him but we're getting what we paid for. Which is nothing if he's a volunteer.

 

[TuckyFB]

Lee needs to get ahold of his pitch. Almost took this batter's head off.

He's paid, just not directly. He's paid through camps and such. He was good year 1, but since then we've had a strikeout problem.

Talk about high and tight.

Lee probably needs to come out now. He's done his job and gotten us 5 and a third.

 

[Comebakatz3]

UK is lucky so far. That base hit didn't score a run.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Well, luck ran out. Hit another batter and the game is tied. A shame.

 

[Aday117]

Letting another game slip away. Don’t trust this offense to string together some runs.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Lee coming out and Daniels coming in. Bases loaded 1 out. Lee probably stayed in 2 hitters too late.

 

[TuckyFB]

Having Game 1 deja vu

 

[Comebakatz3]

Maybe this offense is having a bad weekend, but it makes you wonder how they'll hit SEC pitching if they can't hit Ball State.

 

[BlueStoops]

Geez

 

[Comebakatz3]

Daniels fails to do his job and gives up a walk. 2-1 Ball State.

This won't be a stat we see on the books, but it's a big black mark to me.

A new pitcher coming in... Ramsey.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Ramsey being in here makes me nervous.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Well... Ramsey one pitch and 2 runs given up. Ouch.

4-1.

 

[TuckyFB]

4-1 Ball State....

Pathetic.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Btw... Ball State still has their Friday starter that they can pitch. I fully expect to see him soon.

 

[Jeff12wb]

What exactly has Ramsey EVER done to deserve this role of coming on in huge situations and tight games?
Honestly.

 

[Comebakatz3]

So, again... UK bullpen fails. Both relief guys give up runs rather than shutting the door. That will go on Lee's stats, but it is just as much on them.

Ramsey gets out of it with 2 fly balls. Going to the bottom of the 6th.

 

[Aday117]

I’m afraid this contract extension is going to look really bad after this season. Mingione is just not getting it done here.

 

[Comebakatz3]

What exactly has Ramsey EVER done to deserve this role of coming on in huge situations and tight games?
Honestly.

Never been a fan of him personally. His problem has been that he really hasn't ever improved.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Well,so far this isn't a response that is going to get us back into this.
