Any chance of losing players to frostbite today? Almost as bad as Tuesday.
Sunday is going to be nice at least.

Interesting. Curtis Burch going to do the pre-game show as they wait for Headrick to get to the ballpark. Must have slept in after flying in from the basketball game last night. lol
Ritter with an error to start this one. He slipped and fell on the throw that got away from the infield and now there is a runner at second. They'll give him a single and an error on the throw to give him 2nd.
This broadcast is not ideal. Just Headrick and they don't have a microphone out the window to actually hear the action. So, you don't get the ping of the bat or any crowd noise.
Full count as Stupp is not having great control early. He gives up another soft infield hit, this one to third and Estep just can't beat the runner.
Full count once again, but Stupp gets a strikeout. Morrison does advance to second with a stolen base. So, Cats lose the double play possibility.
Doyle up now. Stupp works ahead with some breaking balls to make it 0-2. Into centerfield and it is a shallow pop out that Harris runs down and backpedals to get to in shallow center, not deep enough to score a run from third.

Interesting that WMU is starting this guy. He pitched the last game of the weekend. Wonder if they think they will have better luck winning a game against one of the other UK pitchers?
Ritter falls behind early but then sees 4 straight balls for a walk.
Jump hits a double to score Ritter.
1-0 UK. We should kill this pitcher. It should be a war crime that his coaches pitched him today after he got murdered on Sunday.
Ground out to first advances Jump.
Fogel chasing pitches but gets a 2 strike grounder to third that WMU takes to first so it scores Jump. 2-0
Estep hit by a pitch on the elbow. He steals second.
Anu a double on a 3-1 pitch. 3-0.
Harris works a full count. 29th pitch of the inning is a ball.
This is absolutely criminal to have this guy out there against us.

They go visit him on the mound. He'll stay in. Lord knows why. Rubalcaba grounds out to a FC at second.
Much better start and approach at the plate so far. 3-0 cats after one.
14 pitches in that at bat. He's got to be around 45 now.
Thrasher steals safely. Then a balk. Lol this poor pitcher.
Ritter with a 3-1. Centerfield fly ball is caught and then dropped. They call Ritter safe and Thrasher scores. 4-0
Jump grounds out to first.
Plastiak hit by a pitch.
Fogel up. They'll finally take this kid out. Dear lord.

If I was a baseball prosecutor I'd charge that coach with pitcher abuse.
Joe Shaprio coming in. Are they trying to lose!?

Everyone was moving and Fogel took the pitch, Ritter takes third and home, Plastiak back to first. 5-0
This is not even fun. Like playing a Little League team. Passed ball advances Plastiak.

Backwards K for Stupp.
Line drive for a single to left.
Grounder up the middle
Full count walk drawn to load the bases with 1 out.
Cleanup hitter up.
Grounder up the middle scores one for WMU. 5-1
Roszel out to talk. Full count again. A few bouncers foul. Stupp at 59 pitches now. Strikeout looking. Guess he thought it was outside, if it was it wasn't by much.
Stupp works ahead and gets a 1-2 strikeout.
5-1. UK pitching plays with fire and once again staves off getting burned. Going to bottom 3.

Anu half swings at one in the dirt and they say he offered for out 1.
Harris with a hopper under the glove of 3b. They give him a double. A play 3B should make but it's not an easy one. Makes sense that it's a double. Harris then steals third.
Rubalcaba takes a knee high strike out of KPP, easily over the LF wall. 7-1

Huh, every UK hit (4) is an extra base hit. We are also, oddly, getting outhit 4-5.

Honestly can’t take much from these games. Really wish we had a better OOC to prepare us for the SEC. Glad we’re putting it to them though as we should.
Charping with his 3rd hit. This one a double to left.
Another double, this one into center and it scores a run. Kind of feel like Thrasher didn't get a good read or take the right angle on that. 12-2.
Stupp hits a batter. Hudepohl up in the pen.

Deep fly is hauled in by Thrasher. Good wood on that one but in a deep part of the park. Runner tagged up, so they are at the corners.
3-0. Stupp at 94. Not sure why he is still in. Full count. Battles back and gets a swinging K.
Don't like that Stupp has almost 100 this early in the year and in the cold. Another K at 101 pitches.
12-2 UK bottom 5

Lol WMU was playing with corners in on that Estep chopper.

Ok, friends... I'm checking out to take my daughter to dinner. Doubt this one is ever in question.
Is Rueben Church still with the team. I know he PH the other night, but the announcers just said he had moved on. Curious.
