UK is 9-12 and UT is 8-13, UK is in 4th place, UT is in 5th place in the eastern division. Winning the series would tie us with them, but give us the tie breaker should we end the season with the same record. Sweeping UK would be the ideal situation. UK was swept by Ole Miss at home last weekend.


UK: 27-17 (9-12), RPI 14, SOS 2, Away 7-7

UT: 26-16 (8-13), RPI 27, SOS 25, Home 18-6

UK: Runs Per Game 8.2, Runs Allowed 5.4, Margin +2.9

UT: Runs Per Game 6.0, Runs Allowed 4.2, Margin +1.7


UK leads the league in almost every offensive category, while being at the bottom of the league in pitching and defense. They go as the bats go, and no one player means more than AJ Reed. Reed has 19 homers. As a team, UT has 17. Reed is also the Friday night starter for them. He's arguably the best two way player in all of college baseball as a junior.


PITCHING

THURSDAY

AJ REED (Jr. LHP) 2.31 ERA, 7-2 w/l, 74 IP, 72 H, 32 R, 19 ER, 19 BB, 49 SO, 16 2B, 4HR, .246 b/avg.

HUNTER MARTIN (Fr. RHP) 3.05 ERA, 3-2 w/l, 41.1 IP, 44 H, 18 R, 14 ER, 13 BB, 23 SO, 6 2B, 3 HR, .280 b/avg.

* Something that stands out is Reed's R/ER stat, points to a lot of errors.

FRIDAY

SATURDAY

ANDREW NELSON (Jr. RHP) 4.61 ERA, 1-4 w/l, 52.2 IP, 64 H, 34 R, 27 ER, 13 BB, 25 SO, 9 2B, 5 HR, .299 b/avg.

Fun Fact:The catcher Michael Thomas was a team mate of AJ, Stew and Bettencourt in Alaska for the Matsu Miners last summer...He's really improved at the plate, and he has a great arm.

There's not much point in me out lining the strengths of their line up, when it's done well here: No. 25 Baseball Travels to Tennessee for Three-Game Set - Kentucky Wildcats Official Athletic Site



Summary

At this point, everyone knows the strengths of our team and the strengths of theirs, no reason for me to bore ya'll any further.

I doubt it will turn into a pitching dual. :p

We need to win this series in the worst way.

Anyone else having trouble linking any UT Vids besides me?

Really is a shame our pitching isn't fantastic. With a solid rotation we'd be a lot better. I've caught a couple games this year. I'm not a huge baseball fan but fun atmosphere. JT Riddle got me into it a couple years ago.

I assume/hope our players don't read this stuff ...

I think it's safe to say this is a must-win series, but how close is it to a must-SWEEP?

I think we're pretty respectful towards the players and coaches in this forum, much more so than some of the other forums.

I think every game we can win, we need to win. A sweep of UK would really change the immediate perception nationally. Could we make it last is the real question? UK has a much easier road than we do after this weekend.

CDS says we don't need to worry about other teams losing, and I suppose it's true to an extent. That said, I'm rooting against UK, UGA, Mizzou, and Auburn from here on out.

If we can get to Hoover we will have a shot at regionals.

I guarantee he's rooting against them, too, whether we "need" to or not! :)

Guys I fixed the embed code. I've had to change some things around so if you have issues in the future, use the report button so I can take a look at the code. There are some formats that still might not work. Sorry for the headaches. :hi:

Thanks, thought I was losing my mind.
