Missouri at Kentucky (Game 3)

[Old_Red]

Where is the game thread?

 

[Old_Red]

First inning in and still 0-0. We went 3 up and 3 down.

 

[Old_Red]

They are hitting Lee pretty solidly.

 

[Old_Red]

A single and a walk to start the 2nd for Lee and he gets a ground out that advances the runner then gets a key strike out with a good pitch on 0-2, then the ground out to second ends the inning.

 

[Old_Red]

Quick top of the third for Zack Lee. He even hit a batter on the first pitch. No sense working a long count and plunking them. Interesting that it was Day that he plunked. Day doubled in the first inning.

 

[Old_Red]

Ground out, fly out, fly out for the Cats in the bottom of the 3rd. Not many pitches at all for Hise only 9.

 

[BlueStoops]

Thanks for the updates, red, I’m late to the party.

I thought the game started at 1. 🤣

 

[Old_Red]

10 pitches in the top of the 4th for Lee. Both pitchers seem settled in.

 

[Old_Red]

Weak swing at a 3rd strike by Harmon ends a 13 pitch inning for Hise. Both pitchers may be able to go pretty far today.

Should he about the time of the game that hitters have seen starters a few times and start to get more locked into what they're throwing. We will see if that happens or the dual continues.

 

[Old_Red]

They're talking about pitching staffs, where is Degen?

 

[Comebakatz3]

Wow going to the pen already!? Not sure I like this call.

 

[Old_Red]

Lee gives up a two out single stretched to a double and gets pulled. Only 65 pitches.

 

[Old_Red]

Nice at bat for Kessler making him throw a lot of pitches and then spanking one. Church gets a Texas leaguer to left center. Nice to get the first two on in the 5th. Coach comes out and they are leaving Hise in.

 

[Comebakatz3]

This is a danger inning for Hise. Runners at 2nd and 3rd with 0 outs. 2-1 count. Scary spot for him.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Estep with a nice sac fly to dead center to score Kessler.

 

[Old_Red]

Darn Estep gets a sac fly to short left center and then Ritter pops up the first pitch to the infield.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Great hit by Schultz, down the line in left for a double to score Church. 3-0.

 

[Old_Red]

Good double down the left field line by Schultz which drives out Hise (a bit late) and drives in a run making it 3-0.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Got a cushion. Now let's see how the bullpen does at keeping it.

 

[BlueStoops]

Listening on the radio. Now is the time to take out Anu making the last out

Marsh coming in to pitch, I missed the majority of the game but looks like we're headed towards a series sweep.

 

[TuckyFB]

Welp.... jinxed it.

 

[Old_Red]

Marsh in two pitches gives up a homerun to give up the lead in the top of the 8th 4-3

 

[TuckyFB]

Swanger is an appropriate last name cause he swanged that to the softball field.

 

[Old_Red]

Looks to me like we are satisfied with winning the series.

I don’t understand the love affair with 22 and 38. They just don’t have it this year

Lol I should've just sat this game out since I missed the majority of it.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Lol I should've just sat this game out since I missed the majority of it.

Hahaha we can blame you. Seems fair.

 

[Old_Red]

I guess we know what happened to Degen.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Pretty crazy that we largely believed that when those two were freshmen that they would be the cream of the crop for us and they just never seemed to get any better.

 

[Comebakatz3]

I guess we know what happened to Degen.

He had Covid earlier in the year. A lot of arms to go through though.

 

[TuckyFB]

UK getting lazy late. 5-3 Missouri and runners on 2nd, 3rd.

 

[Old_Red]

Well Degen happens to be getting pounded. Gonna have that infinite ERA.

 

[TuckyFB]

I wouldn't be satisfied with getting a series win, I would want a sweep but ole Nicky seems to be satisfied to lose to a shitty Missouri team.

Hung a slider, center cut. 2 out, 3 run homers will put the hitter in the Hall of Fame...and put the pitcher on a one way train to Palookaville.

Going 2-2 this week is not good. Or at least not ideal.

Austin Strickland is fun to watch
