OT: Cats @ Cards Super Regionals - Game 1 Thread

[JimboBBN]

Noon on ESPN.

Thought I would get a thread up here on Rafters just because its the offseason and how much more traffic we get here than the other boards. You guys ready? I've never been behind a UK baseball time like this before. I am pumped for this series.

The teams split during the regular season, both winning on their home field.

I expect a lot of blue at Jim Patterson Stadium today, lets get it Bat Cats!!

 

[Calsthebomb]

Let's go bat cats!

 

[JimboBBN]

About that time!

Saw UK has quite a few fans down there for the game today.

I already strongly dislike UofL's team for the simple fact that they all bleached their hair.

It's not bleach. It's the stuff that drips of the cielings in their dorms.

...and then there's the 2nd Basemen with cornrows. So typical of UofL!

Douchebags.

Double Douchebag.

Not a good first inning for the Cats. Cards already on board and bases loaded. Our pitcher is nervous.

 

[UK_Is_Good]

Have to think the leash will be short for Thompson. I'm glad Louisville gave us that out. Our offense should score some runs. We just have to limit big innings by Louisville.

 

[TyCatPrice14]

Terrible start, hope they switch out that pitcher....

 

[UK_Is_Good]

Nice job putting up a zero. Let's go to work.

 

[JimboBBN]

Really nice play by our second baseman there to get us out of the inning. Need the bats to start flying the pitching to settle down.

 

[Roe07]

Well damn, that was a hell of a catch. Could've been a triple if it got down.

 

[morgousky]

I think we should give the baseball board traffic considering it's baseball and we have a baseball board.

Go for it.

 

[Cardsstink]

We can only overcome Carson's mistakes for so long. He is messing up at every twist and turn, going back to the botched catch against NC State.

I was just thinking the same thing. Awful base running really cost 'em there.

 

[JimboBBN]

Offense hasn't looked very good which is deflating. We can only hold them to two for so long.

 

[anon_9qtxg60vqzy0y]

Terrible bunt and even worse base running. Needs to be benched.

 

[UK_Is_Good]

Yeah, that was killer. We do have top of the order next inning.

 

[armchairpg]

Far ....?! Who's the baseball coach again?

 

[JimboBBN]

3 run homer for the Cards. Now 5 - 0 in the 5th. Might have to start looking forward to game 2.

 

[Roe07]

That hurt

 

[rick64]

5-0 Stripper U through 5 innings

 

[UK_Is_Good]

We are in trouble.

 

[justin_uk_5]

Let's throw the same pitch 6 times in a row .. down the middle and see if he can knock it out. Lol.. sheesh.

 

[KYNC89]

Well that was disappointing. And our hitting is abysmal today

 

[Gothic1960]

So is that one announcer a UL grad?

 

[JimboBBN]

He's one of the best hitters in baseball. No idea what our guy was thinking, might have cost us a chance to win this game, though.

 

[Roe07]

He's one of the best hitters in baseball. No idea what our guy was thinking, might have cost us a chance to win this game, though.

That, and the fact that we simply can't hit today.

 

[justin_uk_5]

Yeah, he kept getting closer and closer to solid contact and was sitting on that pitch. It was only a matter of time

 

[anon_9qtxg60vqzy0y]

Chris Burke. Born in Louisville and played college baseball at Tennessee.

 

[Roe07]

Man, we can't get anything out there today.

 

[etownblue25]

I'm guessing a bit hung over from last weekends 5 games. got to get it going.

 

[Cawood86]

Don't look like it's happening today. UofL of all people.
