UK vs Indiana Tues.
- Thread starter Black Diamond Cat
- Start date
At this level just getting base runners on and putting on pressure is huge. Pressure turns up when you hit. UK has largely kept Indiana off the bases, especially with free passes.
Good win for the Cats. Cats benefited from some Indiana errors and played more aggressive tonight. I have been justifiably critical of our pitching staff this year ... but it was a better showing tonight. 15 strikeouts. Perhaps there has been a little late season improvement by our pitching staff.
I mean, I get that they want to move Reed into scoring position and get another insurance run. However, I'd take my chances with Cam hitting rather than giving him up and relying on ARod and then a 2 out hit. Cam isn't likely to hit into a double play and is more likely to get you a double than a DP.
HUGE weekend...need to at least win the series. First time we've won 2 straight in about a month
I posted very early in this thread that IU was 3-6 in Quad 1 games, and Michigan is 2-5 in such games. We play in a very difficult league, that being said, we should have more wins than what we do.
I love beating Indiana in any sport. We don’t play them anymore in football or basketball, so this was the only chance. Makes me very happy!
If we had played all year like we did against IU, we would have won more games. No errors, only one really egregious base running faux pas, at least one great play in the outfield, turning double plays when they are possible. We still didn't hit which is a problem for the weekend.
Watching it live, he seemed to me to be arguing something with the umpire. Like maybe he thought it was a foul tip? I know his coach let him have it when the inning was over.
Braxton has improved as the season has gone along. Just over a 2 ERA in 7 SEC appearances and coming off 2 shutout innings against Arkansas. Just trying to give some credit where it's due. Still walks too many batters. But I see a good future for him as he gets stronger and develops a better command.
Well, the ball actually hit off of the batter's foot and that is why the catcher didn't get it. I think the hitter was offering at it, but I believe if it hits him it would still make it a dead ball strike instead of a live ball strike. So, I think that is what upset the catcher. Of course, he should have played the ball and avoided more damage and then asked for a review. We got a major break there.
