“That’s why we call him `The Bull,’” Serrano said. “He is a bull. He went 130 pitches and he might have been better in the seventh, eighth and ninth than he was in the first, second and third."

“We’ve lost two in a row and it’s a part of being in this league. You are certainly not happy about it. You understand it is what it is,” UK head coach Gary Henderson said. “We are very disappointed about this weekend but you can’t dwell on it.”

"Any time you don't score, besides impossible to win, it takes a little bit of wind out of your sails," UK Coach Gary Henderson said. "But it's one game, it's one weekend and we've got five more of these."

Weird week for the Top 25 rankings: 9 ranked teams lost series, including teams 9-14. Will be interesting to sort out that group Monday.

If we start winning at a consistent clip. Our SOS will really rocket our RPI higher.

Again, relief pitching is the key.

We started out the weekend #97 in the RPI. We can move up several more spots with a neutral site win over #14 RPI VT on Tuesday night.

In the context of your post, I thought this tweet from KRog was interesting...

Two astonishing notes: The #Big12 has one team (#Okahoma) with an RPI in Top 50, #CUSA has ONE team with a Top 60 RPI (#Houston, 60). Unreal

To put that in context, 10 SEC teams have an RPI above 48.

Kentucky: It was quite the surprise when the Wildcats dropped a home series to rival Tennessee. It camedown to the fact UK got two iffy starts from left-handed pitchers Jerad Grundy and Corey Littrell. Grundy allowedsix runs on nine hits in four innings against the Vols, while Littrell allowed five runs on eight hits in 7 1/3 innings

* Tennessee senior right-handed pitcher Zack Godley could be an interesting veteran sign to watch in the MLB draft this summer. Godley has a very physical 6-foot-3, 245-pound frame, and is having a good season for Dave Serrano's Volunteers. He put together a fantastic performance in a series-clinching 5-0 win over Kentucky. Godley struck out eight, walked two and allowed just six hits in a complete game shutout. He threw 130 pitches in the contest, 82 for strikes, and now has a 3.26 ERA in 66 1/3 innings of work.
