Kentucky vs Oakland - Game 2

[Old_Red]

Somebody needed to start it.

 

[Old_Red]

The game started fast. I was a bit late tuning in because I didn't think they would play, but we are already through the first 0-0 in 15 minutes.

 

[Old_Red]

3 up and 3 down for both sides in the first, but Oakland singles with no outs in the 2nd.

Anybody have an update?

 

[Old_Red]

Trey Dawson with a bobble and an error can't get the force at 2nd so we have runners at 1st and 2nd with 1 out, then we turn a double play, heading into the bottom of the 2nd.

 

[Old_Red]

They didn't give Dawson an error even though he bobbled the catch a bit.

Fielders choice

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Cottam with a sharp single, and an error on RF allowows Cottam to take 2nd. He scores on an RBI single by R Shinn, 1-0 Cats.

 

[Old_Red]

Collett takes a called 3rd strike. Didn't get his money's worth on that. Cottam gets a much needed single. Ryan Johnson is out on a difficult play on a foul ball by the 3rd baseman. Ryan Shinn gets a single up the middle to score Cottam. Nice to see Shinn get a hit, had a pretty low average coming in. Heyer pops out so we are sitting at 1-0

Fielders choice

He didn't get anyone out.

Cottam gets a single to right, which is badly misplayed and he's able to get to second. Shinn followed it up a bit later with a single up the middle to plate Cottam and give UK the 1-0 lead going to the third.

Looks like they gave the Oakland hitter a hit, the scoreboard shows 2 hits for the Grizz.

OK, they must have awarded a hit.

 

[Old_Red]

Seemed like Thompson was getting comfortable, getting two outs in the inning and then gives up an HR to the leadoff hitter.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Thompson gives up a Big Fly to RF, the wind is blowing out that direction today.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Beautiful play by Dawson .

 

[AgesBlue]

Dawson flashing the leather to end the inning !!!

Dawson flashing the leather to end the inning !!!

And the range. And the arm!

 

[Old_Red]

Trey Dawson follows up the field play with a single! Much needed. Only his 5th hit on the season.

He will pick it up with the bat, I believe his defense is very valuable.

 

[Old_Red]

Squires hits a double play ball but they don't turn it. And somehow they don't get Dawson. Somebody that's watching, what happened?

 

[Comebakatz3]

Ohh man... Oakland gets a tailor made double play ball to short, but the second baseman never touches second and the first baseman drops a perfectly fine throw. Nobody out. Wow.

He did the shuffle all around the bag, but never hit a corner and didn't get the neighborhood call.

They seem to have problems with the routine plays, for some reason.

 

[Old_Red]

Aklinski bunts and moves the runners with an out at first. Becker flies to left to sacrifice Dawson home 2-1.

Well they aren't a great team and I imagine they have had very little outdoor practice.

Sac bunt and then a sac fly scores Dawson to give UK the lead again.

 

[Comebakatz3]

TOUCH EM ALL TJ!!!! TWO RUN BLAST OVER THE WALL!!!

 

[Old_Red]

TJ Collett homers to right to score 2. OK, I see what he is bringing and it is definitely something we needed with White and Mahan gone this year.

 

[Comebakatz3]

4th home run for him on this young season.

 

[bradscats]

Is this game not available to watch anywhere?

 

[Old_Red]

Always nice to see a crooked number in your half of the inning.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Is this game not available to watch anywhere?

Sec network plus

 

[Old_Red]

I think that makes our 8th multi-run inning for the year. Thompson gives up another 2 out HR to their leadoff hitter.

 

[Old_Red]

Is Thompson making mistake pitches to Jackson or simply challenging him? If he is challenging him, I'd say nibble.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Is this game not available to watch anywhere?

Yes on the ESPN app, and on SEC network plus.

 

[Old_Red]

Ryan Johnson doesn't get a hit but bounces it off the first baseman who gets the error. Shinn flies out and Heyer singles and the outfielder bobbles for the 2nd error of the inning. Sounds like they are pretty loose in the field.

 

[Comebakatz3]

That outfield being a swamp isn't helping the Oakland outfield.

 

[Old_Red]

Dawson gets an infield single and scores Johnson. Looking like a good game for him. It's an unearned run but we like it.

 

[Old_Red]

Squires squeezes in Heyer for another run but two outs.

 

[Old_Red]

Aklinski hits what Gabriel calls a bad 0-2 pitch down the middle to score Dawson. 9th multi-run inning.

Standup double for Becker gets them on 2nd and 3rd but two outs.

 

[Comebakatz3]

The good and bad of this is that we're getting the benefit of bad errors but that we're getting timely hits to make them pay for making them.
