Tennessee @ Kentucky - Sunday's necessary sweep?

[Old_Red]

We can't count on Alabama to do anything for us. We need a sweep to keep it at 2 out of 3 @ Florida.

We can also guarantee that Tennessee misses the SEC Tournament by sweeping today so we'd be ending their season.

Watching Louisville and Clemson on TV before our game. Three errors in one inning for Louisville.

I like all of those things. Tennessee not firing Serrano last year was just dumb.

 

[Old_Red]

Five batters for Tennessee, but they leave two. Too many pitches for Lewis. Now Zach Warren for Tennessee is on the pitch.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Lewis gave up a couple singles in the first, but kept them off the board.

 

[Old_Red]

Warren allows almost a hit and 1/4 an inning. Let's use up our quota early. Pompey got it going and now Reks gets one.

 

[Comebakatz3]

UK scores an unearned run to take an early lead 1-0.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Mahan hits a triple to score two more!!! That's how you do it boys!! 3-0!!

 

[Old_Red]

Well, we aren't going to hurt Warren's 5.69 ERA any yet, since all 3 runs are unearned.

 

[Comebakatz3]

4-0 going to the second. Good way to start. Hope we destroy them.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Well, we aren't going to hurt Warren's 5.69 ERA any yet, since all 3 runs are unearned.

The gamecast called three of them earned and his ERA is over 6.00 on it.

 

[Old_Red]

Hmmm, we've used up our hits through the 3rd. Tennessee has more mistakes than they had hits in the top of the inning. An error in the field, a wild pitch, a relay on an obvious double play ball to lose an out.

They didn't call the mishandle by thee SS an error? That was on Cottam's hit up the middle.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Lewis was pretty efficient in the second. Now let's put up another crooked number!

 

[Comebakatz3]

They didn't call the mishandle by thee SS an error? That was on Cottam's hit up the middle.

They called that an error and considered Reks' run unearned. The others were earned. Not sure if they are right on that, but that's how it's scored on there.

 

[Old_Red]

UGA ahead of MSU by 2 in the 2nd. MSU's pitching woes showing up early?

 

[Old_Red]

Guess we did use our quota of hits in the 1st. 3 up and down in the 2nd.

I can't decide if Serrano is a poor judge of talent or was just unlucky when it comes to the MLB draft. The athleticism of the Vols leaves a lot to be desired. Kentucky is just bigger, stronger and faster.

I don't understand why he's done so poorly. He's been to Omaha with two different teams, but can't put it together with Tennessee. He's had some amazing talent but has never had anything close to a complete team.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Lol Mahan with a bunt single. Maybe he's going to try to hit for the cycle today and wanted to go ahead and get the single out of the way?

 

[Old_Red]

Third straight game of chasing the starter before the end of the 3rd, they say. That's a good sign. Bringing in Linginfelter. Didn't he come in on Friday?

*** Neil Price just corrected that stat, Stallings made it into the 4th? He also mentioned that Linginfelter pitched against EKU earlier this week. I watched that one so that is what I am remembering.

 

[Old_Red]

Darn it, Marshall hits into a double play to end the 3rd.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Missed a huge opportunity there.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Scary moment here. Need a double play or a strikeout here.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Lewis needs to dig deep. He's given up one run here after giving up two walks and a bit batter.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Ugh Lewis walks in another run. Now we're going to the bullpen. Rough for UK.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Kentucky going to Thompson. Interesting.

 

[Old_Red]

Now he's out.

Kentucky going to Thompson. Interesting.

And he comes through getting a double play ball on the frrst batter faced.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Thompson gets the double play!!!

 

[Comebakatz3]

Heady can't bunt to save his life.

 

[Old_Red]

Linginfelter is averaging 0.78 hits per inning.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Reks gets in the RBI party and gets one back for Kentucky 5-2.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Becker pinch hitting for Cottam now.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Becker pinch hitting for Cottam now.

Hate to see Cottam out of the game, being from Knoxville and all.

 

[vhcat70]

Linginfelter is averaging 0.78 hits per inning.

That's 7 hits/9 innings - excellent. Anything 9 & under good.

 

[Old_Red]

We get 3 walks and a single and only get 1 run out of it.

 

[Old_Red]

Thompson comes back and mows down Moberg.

 

[Old_Red]

Ammons makes amends for getting that hit in the first by grounding out and Rodgers not so Jolly, popping out to end the top of the 5th

 

[Old_Red]

We make some curious outs to end innings. Carson out trying to score from 2nd on a ball that barely gets to the grass past 2nd.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Might have thought it went through, but still strange to push that with Pompey on deck
