Yep. 17 hits, 6 HRs and lose biggest rubber game in UK history to UT by 2 at home...will be hard to get that out of your head

In the third week of April, wow.

TV showed some onions putting Phillips in there in that situation.

He is on his way to pitching more innings in the future. Need that big arm on the mound.

I certainly didn’t see Kirby going that long and I certainly didn’t see the midweek starter coming in to close, more importantly, I bet UK didn’t have it in the scouting report either.

I was surprised with his performance today and that they left him in so long. I don't remember him ever having that much trouble on the mound.

I like our chances to win the East.

He was getting ahead and then constantly hitting just outside on the lower corner of the plate. Thats frustrating when it happens. Just 1 inch to the right and you are striking everybody out looking. I guess we were respecting their power。

Early in the stint, it looked (on tv) like he might have had a twinge. I have no idea. He kept us in the game against the number 3 team in the country and the pressure that comes with it. The bats had bought some time, so…

I think Kentucky baseball shares cheers with their softball team

Not unlike the Texas A&M yell leaders.

Should’ve swept ‘em

We should have.

I feel like all those who had “sweep” in the Pick ‘em should get partial credit at least.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Should’ve swept ‘em

We should be up 15

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

This is how it's done boys.

Somebody earlier called Kentucky a "weird" team, and I thought that was a weirdly vague comment. But that's before
I learned that Kentucky was 15-1 in the league after the first game of the series. That IS weird. Kentucky has been respectable
for a long time--but never close to that good, I don't think. (Maybe? While I track our scores, I don't pay much attention to the rest
of the league most years). Conventional wisdom suggests that a team that is 15-1 in the league has good pitching--but then we score
22 runs on Kentucky's pitching in the next two games. I don't think there's much that's conventional about collegiate baseball in this
era of pin-ball scoring. We're certainly good at knocking balls over the fences, but may ultimately need a bit more of that conventional pitching to reach our big goals. Good series win.
