Cats face in state rival MSU Eagles @ 6:30 pm at the Cliff. UK sending out soph. righty Zach Pop to face MSU. Personally, I would like to see Dylan Dwyer get the mid-week start, he has pitched very well this year. He is also a Sr. with a lot of experience. These mid-week games are important, and we need every win possible, playing in the rugged SEC does not allow for many sure fire wins.
UK vs Morehead St. on Tuesday.....

Wilson back already ? He banged that ankle pretty good against the wall at Georgia !
A couple errors help MSU to plate another one 7-2 in the bottom of the 5th. Mahan with one of those errors, his 14th of the season.
Yea. Wilson is back and playing pretty well. 2-3 with a run and an RBI.

Dwyer took over for Pop and pitched 3 innings. He gave up 1 unearned run. Schaenzer coming on now.
He has committed a lot of errors, but I guess the old addage ' I will knock in more than I let in ' comes to mind.
I still don't understand how he is hitting 4th. I will look at some point, but the numbers have to be pretty different when he is hitting lower as opposed to when he is hitting 4th.
A ground ball to second gives UK a 6-4-3 double play and allows MSU to score to make it 8-5 now going to the bottom of the 7th. Mahan with another error, his 15th, in the inning when he stumbled and threw it low to White. Luckily, MSU's runner turned towards second and White tagged him out to end the top of the 7th.
Price thinks Mahan has a strong enough arm... I disagree with that. I think a natural short looks like he can make the throw with some ease. I think Mahan has to rush throws because he can't make the throw with a whole lot of ease.

Mahan hits a single and steals second before McNeil gets a single to plate Mahan and give UK a 9-5 lead.
Arnold is now hitting .400 on the season after getting another hit today and adding 2 more RBIs to his total. Despite that, I'm sure we'll see Squires this weekend. 
Cats win 10-5, 3 game winning streak. Have scored 10 or more in all 3 games. I too am puzzled by Z Arnolds' lack of PT. Squires is hitting .100 on the season, Cottam is playing well also.
Arnold hasn't played a lot but the kid is hitting .400. Last year we were very poor defensively behind the plate, but if the guy is hitting the ball that well you've got to find the time to play him, especially when one of your starters is hitting a mere .100.
By the way, I hate the new ukathletics.com site. It's not that new but it's recently annoyed me a lot because 1. The site is extremely limited on mobile devices. For instance, you can't, to my knowledge, see the season stats on a mobile device. 2. There are a lot of broken links. For instance, if you try to look at the 2015 stats for baseball it will be an error page. Also, the links to player bios on the stats page don't work.

Arnold has always been a solid hitter, his defense may be lacking. Mahan needs a lot of practice on ground balls and throwing to 1st base, he rushes his throws unnecessiarily instead of taking his time. Shelby seems to be having trouble with transferring the ball from his glove to his hand.
