Ky. vs Ga. in Game 2

[AgesBlue]

UK needs this one badly, going with J Lewis. He has won several series deciding games in the past, hope he keeps it up. Need to also get the bats going early and often.

 

[Jeff Drummond]

SEC Network analyst says UK is "staring 5-10 in the face," which would be something else if they lose a win and absorb two losses in this next game.

 

[Jeff Drummond]

UGA used their Game 3 starter to close out Game 2. They have to use a freshman with very little experience in this game. Important for Cats to take advantage.

Hahaha

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Good start to the inning, but bad ending.

 

[Jamal Mercer]

Going up against a totally inexperienced pitcher and we are sac bunting a guy to 2nd in the 1st inning??

Didn’t like that at all.

 

[law1127]

I hope we have a late season rally, will need it,to make the tournaments. Need to get more consistent play.

 

[Gabewcat]

Another dumb decision by the coaching staff, bunting Squires in the 1st inning and playing for 1 run instead of being aggressive and go for the big inning. You have got to stomp on a team like Georgia that doesn't hit very well but has good pitching. Lewis is a much better pitcher when he pitches from in front than behind.

Exactly what I said. Mind boggling.

I HATE THAT!!! And yes I'm shouting. I think this is a move that if done by any coach is totally stupid.

 

[STUCKNBIG10]

I really hope we have an offensive explosion today b/c this coaching staff is starting to fray my nerves in a tight game.

 

[STUCKNBIG10]

Arod has had one good game this year on offense, there's another inning-killer with a double play to end the second.

 

[irishcat1965]

Double play saves Georgia. UK needs to get up on these guys to put pressure on that freshman pitcher.

 

[Jeff Drummond]

Another SEC road trip with a different strike zone depending on whether you're home or road.

 

[STUCKNBIG10]

Man, Lewis is struggling a bit, but has shown some real balls getting out of the first two innings with no runs given up. Really coming through in the clutch so far. Let's get him some run support guys!

 

[Jeff Drummond]

That's better. Give him that corner, blue. Great work by J-Lew.

 

[Old_Red]

I noticed that. Lewis is going to have to be perfect. He's having to put it right over the plate to get a call. He can't put it over an corner or it is going to be called a ball.

 

[Jeff Drummond]

Terrible lead by Pompey. Thrown out stealing.

 

[Jeff Drummond]

Justin Lewis strands two runners again with a pair of huge Ks in the 3rd. It's still 0-0 game.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

J Lew gives up a 2 out double, then K's the final batter for the 4th straight inning !

 

[AgesBlue]

I really enjoy Ben McDonald as the color analyst, he brings a lot of knowledge to the broadcast !!

 

[Old_Red]

Dang it... Another base running error.

 

[Tannerdad]

Some really stupid base running there.

 

[Old_Red]

Georgia gets the error but we get the bigger error.

 

[irishcat1965]

What a clown show on the bases.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Did Fanning send him, or did he just try it on his own ?

 

[Comebakatz3]

Did Fanning send him, or did he just try it on his own ?

Fanning probably sent him. Got to keep that aggressiveness going.

 

[Old_Red]

This getting the leadoff runner on every inning is going to come back and bite us.

 

[Comebakatz3]

I think he was out. Don't get the call though.

 

[Old_Red]

We get a double play! Finally!! I love it.

 

[irishcat1965]

So much for the advantage in pitching this game. Their freshman is owning our hitters so far.

 

[Comebakatz3]

We're playing with a lot of fire

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

J Lew has given us 6 shutout innings, he is at 100 pitches. I doubt he comes out for the 7th.

 

[Old_Red]

Great relay to get the runner, nice tag by Squires.

 

[Old_Red]

Boy I hope they leave this call in our favor.

 

[Old_Red]

Georgia is sure putting a hurt on our batting averages.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Please tell me they didn't try to bunt with Collett...?

 

[Old_Red]

Shinn executes the bunt well. Two in scoring position without a hit

 

[Old_Red]

Never saw an intentional ball thrown back over the plate and Proctor throws 3 high but over the plate.

 

[Old_Red]

Bases loaded and one out. Ryan Johnson coming in for Rodriguez so that means Heyer back at 3rd.
