Big fan of Pitre in the 2 spot

In the House today! GOCATS!!

I like it (the lineup). I'm out of town, how's the crowd today?

I'd be interested to learn how the tandem radio commentary came to fruition. Used to be Price solo. Now home games are often with Flynn or Madison co-hosting with Headrick.

Bases full 0 outs b3rd...LETS GO!!!

 

[sluggercatfan]

Cats gets 3...3-0

 

[Old_Red]

4-0 Evan Hart a freshman from Harrodsburg comes in and gets a good strike out then appears to try to overpitch and gives up a walk and a single. Two outs in the 8th. Pretty bad when they bring in a rightfielder to replace you.

 

[Old_Red]

James (I'm a pitcher or rightfielder, not a doctor) McCoy comes in and goes right at the hitter and gets the out. Darn, I forgot about the solo HR so it is 5-0 heading into the bottom of the 8th. That HR was Hawley's first hit as a Cat was in the 6th inning.

 

[Old_Red]

Hummel to close it out.

 

[Old_Red]

Not like the other two appearances, Hummel is having control issues. Two outs and runners at the corners and he's having trouble throwing strikes, everything low. Finally gets a popup to Grant Smith to end it.

 

[Old_Red]

Cats only hit 185 for the game. The bats had better start coming around or the SEC season will be long.

Not a great offensive performance but a really nice job by the pitching staff

Headrick is the absolute worst. Each game he gives us a lesson on small towns in Tennessee. Listening to a game from him you would never know it was a UK broadcast. Today we had two pitchers making their UK debut and he barely mentioned them, he was too busy talking about Carson-Newman and Mossy Creek and the history of zero.

To be fair, I didn't ask in criticism. I just was curious how the change came about. Headrick has an MiLB background and I think that shines through a lot. I think it's extremely hard to replace Price, who might be one of the sole reasons I became such a huge UK baseball fan. I loved baseball already but he was my only access to UK baseball almost two decades ago and I adored listening to him call games. I don't hate Headrick. He's not bad, but it is definitely a different style from Price.

Disagree, I like him. I could do without some of the small town Tennessee stuff too, but he knows baseball, is willing to criticize the umpires, and is critical of our own team and coaching staff when they earn it.
