UK -n- Mizzou ( Saturday )...
- Thread starter AgesBlue
- Start date
Another error on a pickoff moves everyone up 90 feet. Man... how nice would it be if we were only down 1.
Ten damn runs. And still down four. The pitchers should be embarrassed.
Missouri trying to buy time. UK has given up 4 home runs today. Missouri had only hit 17 all year prior to today.
So, we account for 20 percent of their home runs.

Thompson available today... not sure what kind of spot they want to get him work. Bad thing is that we don't really have any easy midweek games left.
Umpire is giving a very generous strike zone to Missouri and UK just isn't getting the same advantage.
Bases juiced for Luke Becker. UK can climb back into this with a big swing. Becker pops up to shallow left. 2 outs.
Very poor at bat for Becker. Have to be patient unless it's perfect. He'd just walked two in a row.
UK hitting .500 today with risp.

A walk scores a other run. Then a grounder to third ends it with a tag out of Heyer between second and third.
That happened twice. Just too aggressive at the wrong times.
Zack Thompson back could be huge for the Cats down the stretch. Good to see him getting some work in today. Needs to get stretched out before he can start again.
Wow... Thompson hasn't pitched since Texas Tech, our last Saturday win. He gets a K to end the Tiger 9th. Welcome back big guy!!
I certainly hope so since they are scholarship players. This isn’t an isolated instance and one of the main reasons UK has a losing record in the SEC.
In fairness, this goes on a lot of places when you have someone you were totally relying upon go down with an injury. Now, it's a little weird that it's gone on EVERY week, but with the exception of Haake, it seems to be a different guy each time out. One weekend, one guy is off. The next weekend, it's someone else. And it's the best league in the nation, so there's nobody feeling sorry for them.
Dawson with a one out double. He's been on 5 times today!! Heck of a game from the West Virginia native!
FINAL: Missouri 14, Kentucky 11. Cats and Tigers will play important rubber match game Sunday at 1 ET. Could have big impact on SEC standings.
Batters had some frustrating moments but they clearly did their job today. 14 runs to a terrible hitting team. Relief pitching has a lot of soul searching to do. Tomorrow is a must win. What is scary is we are one Luke Heyer homerun Friday night from looking at being swept by Missouri tomorrow.
Bottom of the 7th/8th innings were the killers... risp and your big sticks don't get the job done...nice to see Zack back, my only question would be why not before then?
