C’mon guys! I’m supposed to be the one posting nonsense like this and you guys are supposed to talk ME off the ledge!I think we win, but I just caution over confidence because Kentucky is playing really good baseball right now and you can’t discount that so easily. It’s one game. Anything can happen.

Ky will come in confident and fired up. They're playing to survive, while we are playing to advance. Don't underestimate their motivation. And they are a much better team that people realize. They proved it to us a few weeks ago. And they've kept proving it this week. This is a good team, no matter their record. They figured out how to pitch us in that series, and they will try it again: fill up the strike zone with slow stuff and breaking stuff and use the fastball just out of the zone as bait. The key to us winning tonite is plate discipline. Take them deep into counts. Don't be swinging at first pitch fastballs out of the zone. Make them throw fastballs for strikes. If we can get ahead in the count and force them to throw fastballs over the plate, we'll feast on them.
I just hope they take the balls and walk to first. Trying to hit dingers when they are afraid to throw you a strike cost us in Lexington . Do you remember all those terrible pitches they were swinging on ?I think we get a nice comfortable 8-2 win. Trey, Gilbert, and Evan will be our entertainment at DongFest.
