Kentucky v Vanderbilt #2

Post by commadore »

Need to have a good outing from Owen and the bats need to have less than 9 strikeouts.

2-0 Vandy and better news is Bradfield on base twice. He gets on, we win.

Imagine if Schreck wasn't on this team this year? We'd probably be .500

Nobody is talking about this kid but man, he hits for average, he hits for power, he has a great eye at the plate. One of the best hitters at VU in a while.

The strike zone today is much larger than last night, especially the low fastball.

Owen put fastballs in the heart of the plate on both KY RBI hits in the 3rd.

Shultz in to pitch. Owen held to 75 pitches. I think this is a very wise move.
Last thing we need to do is get him hurt for the rest of the year. 5-2 good guys.

I know modern baseball emphasizes and prioritizes home runs, but my goodness, what happened to choking up and going with the pitch? Diaz just struck out on a 3-2 pitch with a runner on 3rd and 1 out trying to pull a fastball on the outer half of the plate. I know I come from a different, long ago mentality toward hitting, but I just don't get the all-or-nothing approach.

I don't know why anyone would ever take Polk out of a game. That kid can HIT!

Do you ******* have to interview JAMES FRANKLIN at the Vanderbilt game???

I was enjoying watching this and then they did that.

WHY????

Are they also going to interview all the basketball players that just entered the transfer portal?

Who will be our closer today? I don't see Schultz making it to the 9th.

So we COULD have Polk up right now with a good chance to extend the lead. Instead, we have Hewitt who has, let's say, had a less than impressive plate presence this year.

A common lament for me too. Contact when contact is required is a beautiful thing.

I hope he's not out for the 8th.
