Ohio at Kentucky

Jump does nothing special. Just goes with the pitch and sends it back where it came from for a leadoff single. McCarthy to run for him.
Anu with a bouncing ball to 2nd and Ohio gets the easy out at 1. So weakly hit it was like a bunt.
So, that puts them in business for Harris to tie it up. He's putting in a huge swing. Don't like that. Keep it simple Harris. 3-1. Pitcher seems a bit preoccupied by McCarthy at 2nd. Full count. That was a pitch to do something with. Grounder to first moves the runner to third. Not a bad at bat to move the runner and put pressure on then catcher.

Liebert swings at a high and tight and fouls it off. Then shows bunt and looks at a ball. Then another. Beautiful off speed down the middle for strike 2. wow.... Liebert hammers one that crosses up the right fielder and he throws his glove up and brings it in to end the game.
Wow.
Cats go down 9-8

Hell of catch by the RF. Cats are playing with fire in these midweeks games and that’s two now they’ve let go.
I literally just turned on ESPN + to see the very last pitch of the game, and the RF just made a hell of a play, pretty lucky catch actually.
But, we deserved to lose, tbh. Still not sure what kind of team we have. Pitching is just not there, at all.

You have to think that UK can’t continue to come from behind like this. Especially come conference time.
They won’t be facing these kind of arms to feast on during conference play.
Bullpen in SEC is light years better than what we have seen in mid week games. But as often as not, UK not getting quality starts, so we are always playing from behind, which is a terrible trend.
Starting pitching is the biggest concern right now. Went from being the supposed strength of the team to downright awful so far to start the season. Hoping they can right the ship and fast or were in trouble.
I dunno. Before the 7th yesterday we had 3 hits. Today just 4 or 5. So, can this team hit or not? At times we seem dangerous. Other times, not so much. Just 8 strikeouts today, which isn't a ton, but all but one of those came before the 7th.
Pitching consistency and finding the right guys is still problematic and a glaring issue but even the hitting at least has me wondering.

RPI is kind of useless at this point, but ours dropped 43 points today to 119. Our strength of schedule is now 202nd.
