UK -n- Mizzou ( Saturday )...

[AgesBlue]

Cats look to win the series with Hakke going against Plassmeyer of Mizzou. If Hakke is anything like he was in those 2 innings against Florida, I like our chances.
We need to get the bats going a little earlier today, and keep the pressure on the Tiger lefty !
GO C_A_T_S

 

[Comebakatz3]

Zeke Lewis to DH today. Ming really looking for someone to step up as a DH.

 

[Comebakatz3]

And we're off!

 

[Comebakatz3]

Haake looking pretty strong early. Two strikeouts so far with a pop up to short. Throwing 95!

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

HAAKE !! Crowd seems alive early today also !

 

[irishcat1965]

Haake looking pretty strong early. Two strikeouts so far with a pop up to short. Throwing 95!

I guess that means we only see him one more inning.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Broadcast says ARod will be DH. We will see.

Missouri getting a very generous outside corner and low.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Back to back strikeouts. Plassmeyer cruising.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Going to the second. Cottam grounded out to first. Plessy was dealing.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Back to back strikeouts. Plassmeyer cruising.

Can't get a hit if ya don't swing da bat !!

 

[Comebakatz3]

Haake not getting as generous of an outside corner. He threw it there twice and didn't get the same strike Plassy did.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Lead off walk because he didn't get those two corner strikes. Hope he settles in here.

 

[AgesBlue]

It seems we aren't getting the corner from this frickin ump, like Mizzou did.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Ugh... a chopper bound over Cottam and puts runners on second and first. Could have been a double play ball if it had died instead of bounced.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Runners on 2nd and 3rd no outs, need to minimize the damage here !

 

[Comebakatz3]

Grounder to short scores a run and advances the runner to third but gives us 1 out.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Dying quail single scores another run. Good pitch by Haake, but just better hitting.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Missouri starts the runner and avoids a double play on a ground out to Heyer.

So frustrating that the 1-2 pitch for Haake was a strike for Plassy. Still, Haake gets a K to end it.

The good thing here, if we can take something away, is that Haake didn't really get hit hard. He simply had some bad luck. UK defense also let him down a bit by throwing the ball around too much and giving up a free base.

 

[Comebakatz3]

UK goes down quickly. Ugly. Ground out by Heyer and then two more strikeouts. That's 4 so far I believe.

 

[irishcat1965]

Total dominance by the Missouri pitcher right now. The UK pitchers better not give up many more runs, if any.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Haake finally gets hit hard on a full count and it clears the right field wall.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Haake comes back and gets a ground out and two strikeouts.

 

[irishcat1965]

Nice recovery by Haake but if the bats don’t get going, it’s going to be long day.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Ryan Shinn solo blast !

 

[Comebakatz3]

Shinny!!! TOUCH EM ALL!!! 3-1

 

[Comebakatz3]

It's going to be Lewis as the DH. Hope he can provide a spark.

 

[Comebakatz3]

He goes down looking on 3 pitches.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Dawson draws a full count walk. Good battle for him. Need to work more walks and get more pitches on Plassy.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Dawson steals second on the first pitch!! Great jump doesn't even draw a throw. Chopper to short moves him to third.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Single to right by Squires drives in Dawson!! 3-2. Great hitting to climb back into this.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Squires with an rbi single, makes it 3-2.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Good inning for UK. Made Plassy pitch a good bit and put up 2 runs.

 

[irishcat1965]

Nice batting by Cats in that inning. 3-2 looks a hell of a lot better.

 

[AgesBlue]

That's the way to answer a 3-0 defecit. with a 2 spot in the 3rd !

 

[Comebakatz3]

Not good here. First two have reached.

 

[Comebakatz3]

UK going to the bullpen. I'm okay with this change here. Coleman coming in to try to limit Missouri.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Really hope Coleman is sharp. He can throw a lot of Ks, but can also give up walks.

He gets a fly ball to shallow left center for out 1.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Three run home run given up by Coleman. Ugh... 6-2

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Three run home run given up by Coleman. Ugh... 6-2

Man, did not see that coming !

 

[Comebakatz3]

Man, did not see that coming !

Only the second he's given up this year. We seem to just hate winning in game 2. Lol
