UK versus LSU SEC thursday......

[Black Diamond Cat]

Sean Hjelle going against Alex Lang, spot in the semi-finals at stake, and Friday off. Cats took 2 of 3 in Lexington in April, out scoring LSU by a 25-11 count in the 3 games.
That means nothing tonight, however as it is tournament time in Hoover Alabama.

 

[STUCKNBIG10]

Normally, I hate conference tournaments and don't ascribe much value to them, but tonight is big as I don't know how in the hell anyone could question UK being a national seed if they've won 3 out of 4 against LSU.

 

[vhcat70]

Why not just start it 2am?

 

[BlueGrad07]

When's first pitch?

 

[LukaszObrzut]

I'd guess first pitch around 10:30

. Lets go Cats

 

[Comebakatz3]

Let's play some ball guys!!! So excited!

 

[Comebakatz3]

Not the best top half, but we got him to 14 pitches so that's a positive

 

[STUCKNBIG10]

Damn, bummer of a 1st. Pompey launches a rocket into the gap and their centerfielder makes a great catch. Reks with a single with two outs, but Cottam with a deep flyout to right.

 

[LukaszObrzut]

Well no runs in the top half for us but some good swings on it.
Optimistic

 

[LukaszObrzut]

This Kramer dude is one that came back for LSU.

 

[LukaszObrzut]

LSU fans already poking fun at UK ballpark after the long fly outs.

I guess they think our success is bc of that. Hilarious.

 

[LukaszObrzut]

Mahan with the error puts runners on the corners with 2 outs

 

[LukaszObrzut]

Hjelle 3 pitch K
20 pitch inning
No score after 1

 

[Comebakatz3]

This Kramer dude is one that came back for LSU.

That guy is like 100 percent LSU. Seems like they always have a guy like him.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Well not the best first but we're okay. No score is what's great. Now let's string some hits together.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Lange is sharp.

 

[LukaszObrzut]

Top 2 no luck
Got to get on that fastball
Getting behind in the count will make things difficult

 

[uofkFTW18]

What is White doing in that situation?

 

[Comebakatz3]

White playing his worst game of the year defensively

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Evan White with 2 uncharastic mental errors already.

 

[LukaszObrzut]

Ugh bases loaded 1 out for LSU

Leadoff scrappy batter up

 

[Comebakatz3]

Mental error and bad defense

 

[uofkFTW18]

Our defense is crapping the bed right now.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Our 2 best fielders with errors, bad sign !

 

[LukaszObrzut]

defense is crap another error lsu scores 2

2nd and 3rd 1 out

pressure getting to these guys so far.

 

[LukaszObrzut]

LSU bs hit scores one.

 

[Comebakatz3]

They haven't done jack and they have 3 runs. ugh

 

[LukaszObrzut]

They haven't done jack and they have 3 runs. ugh

Spot on. Problem when the program is in the spotlight.

 

[Old_Red]

3 mistakes, 3 runs so far. White with the attempt to field, Hjelle with the HBP, and Marshall with the error at 3rd. We still aren't out of the inning. Darn, make that 4 runs.

 

[sluggercatfan]

Lange is sharp.

Guys are sure not handling the pressure of the moment well...Hjelle at 40 pitches is not going to last long at this rate...not on him his support group has failed miserably...

 

[Old_Red]

Hjelle pitched that one right over the middle. Looks like the nerves are getting him also. They've fought back all year but this one is getting deep.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

5 run 2nd inning for LSU, there is time to come back, but need to stop the bleeding !

 

[sluggercatfan]

Game for all intents and purposes is over...but I'll stay up till 2 unless it's out of hand before then.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Need something positive in this inning

 

[LukaszObrzut]

Game for all intents and purposes is over...but I'll stay up till 2 unless it's out of hand before then.

Stop being so pessimistic man. Far from over. Heck we average 7 runs a game. I fully expect we make this a ballgame.

 

[sluggercatfan]

Well, that kind of night...three balls at the wall and nothing.

 

[DubyaT]

Debacle of an inning. Hopefully Cats can put some runs up and soon.

 

[sluggercatfan]

Stop being so pessimistic man. Far from over. Heck we average 7 runs a game. I fully expect we make this a ballgame.

We'll see...

 

[LukaszObrzut]

Well, that kind of night...three balls at the wall and nothing.

Great plays from the LSU center fielder
That's shows promise to me though.
Umpire giving a wide strike zone thus far though it seems

 

[Comebakatz3]

Unbelievable
