UK at South Carolina (Saturday)

[Comebakatz3]

Almost time for first pitch. Logue will take the mound for Kentucky and the Cats will try to take the series.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

No score heading to the top of the 2nd.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Good pitching by logue in the first

 

[STUCKNBIG10]

Ugh, Heady has a double play and misplays it so now runners on corners with 1 out.

 

[STUCKNBIG10]

On cue, a single to left and South Carolina leads 1-0.

 

[Comebakatz3]

That hurt but we've got plenty of time to get back. Logue not particularly sharp.

 

[STUCKNBIG10]

Cats just not on today. Bases loaded and becker strike out for the second time today.

 

[Washed_Up2]

Leaving the bases loaded doesn't help at all

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Man, left em loaded in the 3rd, made Hill throw 29 pitches though !

 

[STUCKNBIG10]

Beginning to wonder about Logue. Gets ahead of the first batter 0-2 and then gives him a fat pitch. Second batter gives up a 2-run HR. 3-0 cocks.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Got to hit the ball. Logue just not on today. 3-0. Make mistakes to the best hitters. Losing faith in Logue

When is the last Saturday game that we won? A&M? Check that, I think we won against Ole Miss and Vandy but lost every game since.

 

[STUCKNBIG10]

Pull the plug, this is starting to look like batting practice for them. I think we may want to consider moving Logue to Sunday.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Logue will not be around much longer in this game, he is throwing BP to Carolina.

 

[Comebakatz3]

When is the last Saturday game that we won? A&M? Check that, I think we won against Ole Miss and Vandy but lost every game since.

Yep. Time to consider replacing him in my opinion. This could be the 4th loss in a row for him. Oddly enough though, we seem to be a different team altogether on Saturdays.

 

[STUCKNBIG10]

Why does he keep throwing fat hittable pitches with 0-2 and 1-2 counts? Driving me crazy

 

[Big_Blue_1018]

If, and that's a big if, who do you replace Logue with? Do you move Thompson to the weekend?

Seems like everything is right down the middle. Nothing up or in the dirt. Just working the left or right side of the middle.

 

[STUCKNBIG10]

Horrible outing for logue. He exits with bases loaded in bottom of 3rd and 2 outs. 4-0 south carolina. not sure who they're bringing in.

 

[Comebakatz3]

If, and that's a big if, who do you replace Logue with? Do you move Thompson to the weekend?

You have to begin to wonder if hitters are too nervous with Logue on the mound. They may be over thinking. For two weekends now we've scored over 10 runs on Friday and now we're still struggling for hits on Saturday. So, you have to wonder what effect it's having on our hitters and if Thompson would give them more confidence.

 

[irishcat1965]

Every time I've watched Logue pitch, he has been inconsistent. It may be time to consider giving Thompson a chance in place of Logue. How many Saturday chances is he going to be given?

 

[STUCKNBIG10]

Pop comes in and gets us out of trouble, at least temporily. 4-0 going to fourth inning.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Got one back with a Marshall home run.

 

[Comebakatz3]

We have hit into a to of double plays this series.

 

[Old_Red]

Hill has pretty much owned our hitters. Five so's and only two walks.

 

[irishcat1965]

How is it possible the Cats have one hit so far? It boggles the mind. I still think they have a few runs left in them.

 

[Comebakatz3]

This is very very bad

 

[Comebakatz3]

Cleary there is dumb

 

[RogerIndy]

If what the announcers are saying is true, why isn't Pop at the USC hospital getting an MRI right now instead of standing around in the dugout?

 

[STUCKNBIG10]

Just a miserable day for UK. One hit after getting 20 yesterday. Fielding errors, bad pitching by Logue, and on and on. Let's hope we can get the rubber match on Sunday.

 

[Old_Red]

Remember, we can put up a big inning at any time. Maybe they were reading too many press clippings.

Last night, I wondered if that was USC playing rope-a-dope on us. So far we appear to be George Foreman in Zaire.

 

[Old_Red]

Mississippi State already lost today. If we come back, we'll be tied with them for the best record in the SEC. Heyer comes through with a hit.

 

[Old_Red]

Bet they bring in Bowers. They need this win.

 

[Old_Red]

They bring in Johnson. He gives up more hits than Bowers.

 

[Old_Red]

Great, one pitch and they're out of the inning. Not looking good. We needed to make him work so he wouldn't come in tomorrow.

 

[Comebakatz3]

So many damn double plays already

 

[STUCKNBIG10]

Disaster again. Runners on first in second after we (finally) get another hit, and a double play on the first pitch. Ugh.

 

[Old_Red]

Maley comes in and gives up a lead-off single.

 

[Old_Red]

If we don't win this game and lose tomorrow, it is going to be hard to hold the SEC East lead as Florida has Ole Miss at home and then @ Alabama. We then have to go there. That's a lot of pressure.

 

[Old_Red]

Have 3 outs to get at least 4, pretty tough starting in the lower half of the order.
