Dawgs vs. Kentucky

[preachermatt83]

I'm telling you if we lose this one it will hurt as bad as any.

I agree...it feels like a freaking championship game for some reason.

[msstate7]

Ground ball pitcher vs fly ball team. Let's see who wins

[Dallas_Dawg]

Don't give up, you pussies

[blacklistedbully]

Double for UK. Runner in scoring position with no outs.

[BulldogBear]

Leadoff man on again. In scoring position. UK victory coming up in less than 10 pitches.

[ClancyDawg]

Who the **** saw that coming?!?!

#Cohening

[RougeDawg]

huh?

Every comment they say it pro UK. They're even talking about who we will pitch tomorrow. Nothing about UK pitchers tpmorrow. If you win you don't play tomorrow.

[Irondawg]

aaannndd that didn't take long for Brown to get in trouble. Another opposite field double for KY

[Dawg61]

Ugh leadoff double

[DudyDawg]

Them with the first hitter.....

[mparkerfd20]

U were saying?

[CadaverDawg]

What can Brown do for you? Not shit

[Dawg61]

Earn your free books Brown

[ClancyDawg]

A buntfail would be nice. A pitching change nicer.

[rcsteph1]

Gonna take a miracle now.

[msstate7]

Go sexton here. Brown is gentry since coming bacj

[preachermatt83]

cohen and butch both should be ashamed. Brown should have been shut down after injury for the remainder of the season.

[BulldogBear]

Kentucky seems destined to win this game

If so, we lost it when we failed to score several times early in the game. Kind of like when you have that football game where you move the ball at will first half but 17 it up in the redzone and are now trying to sit on a 3 point lead in 2nd half with all momentum gone.

[ClancyDawg]

Typical.

[blacklistedbully]

Wild pitch, runner to 3rd. No outs. Poor defense by Collins.

[Dawg61]

WP on Brown

[Bucky Dog]

It's over.

[EdDawg]

It's like having a toaster that doesn't toast.

[msstate7]

Go get brown now! What a pathetic coaching job Cohen!!!!!!!!!!!

[DudyDawg]

Can I pitch next. I can probably get it Collins at least

[CadaverDawg]

Brown like a turd

[ClancyDawg]

Got to get big innings early and put them away. Got to roll with Tatum not a proven blowup in Gentry. Brown is garbage the last few times out AND HURT.

[Dawg61]

Kentucky just pinch hit a 40 year old in the middle of the AB

[BulldogBear]

It's over.

Been over for several innings. We just didn't know it yet.

[msstate7]

Brown can't strike out! He doesn't get pop ups! Get Em now!

[preachermatt83]

this game is on cohen weather anyone likes it or not. his in game coaching Is absolutely pathetic.

[ClancyDawg]

He can't throw it 60 feet!!!!

Cohen..

[blacklistedbully]

Holy crap Brown looks bad.

[RougeDawg]

This is horrible.

[ClancyDawg]

Put Cousino on base.

[Dawg61]

Please change pitchers

[Dawg61]

Brown just threw his best pitch on a IBB

[DudyDawg]

Trying to intentional walk and left it about belt high and semi close. Vlad Guerrero would've taken that ball deep

[ClancyDawg]

Why not Hudson or Woodruff?

[msstate7]

Brown is pathetic

[ClancyDawg]

this game is on cohen weather anyone likes it or not. his in game coaching Is absolutely pathetic.

-4.4 WAR for Cohen

[CadaverDawg]

What is it with us and pitchers with mental blocks?

Evan, Woody, Brown

[msstate7]

Why not Hudson or Woodruff?

Why take out Tatum for gentry? Bc Cohen is an idiot

[BulldogBear]

K. Sweet.

A hint of hope. Or a tease.

[msstate7]

0-2 go to best k pitcher we have

[DudyDawg]

Well just wait a damn minute here....

[blacklistedbully]

Bases loaded K. double play in order

[Dawg61]

Not over just yet. Brown gets a K

[ClancyDawg]

Put Lindgren in for 10 pitches!!

[CadaverDawg]

Why take out Tatum for gentry? Bc Cohen is an idiot

That was the bonehead move of the night. Then the Hit and run throw out of Collins was bad.....and now bringing in Preston was like saying "we quit".

[msstate7]

6-4-3 please

[ClancyDawg]

Infield in?

[blacklistedbully]

Ball game

[BulldogBear]

17 17 17 17 17 17

[Irondawg]

well crap

[ClancyDawg]

Well 17 you John.

[msstate7]

Put Lindgren in for 10 pitches!!

I'd love to see him

[CadaverDawg]

How'd it end?

[blacklistedbully]

Couldn't turn DP

[msstate7]

All on Cohen

[BulldogBear]

Who's left to pitch against UF? At least we won't have to play Saturday.

[ClancyDawg]

It is weird every loss we have numerous fingers pointing at number 11 in the dugout for multiple reasons.

[blacklistedbully]

Grounder to SS, too slow to turn DP. Runner from 3rd came home

[CadaverDawg]

Well, Woody will get one last hoorah for the season. He's about all we got left. Hudson and Woody

[bobcat91]

This is on our pitching staff that had the lead on 4 separate occasions and couldn't hold it. The paly at the plate with Armstrong was just a great play. Our staff walked guys and gave them all the opportunities in the world and they finally took it.

[messageboardsuperhero]

So many wasted opportunities... Even though this game was pretty meaningless, this one hurts a little.

We should just pitch all freshmen tomorrow. It'd be good to get Sexton, Hudson, Tatum, etc. some experience in Hoover.

[Bucky Dog]

We should have won that game.

[BulldogBear]

All on Cohen

I try to more or less stay out of that debate most of the time, but I'm gonna openly agree on this one. I saw too many dadgum times that he had us trying too dadgum hard instead of just letting it happen. Several times I though we made decisions on offense and baserunning like if we scored it was gonna be a walk off. Did Cohen know we were the visiting team?

[starkvegasdawg]

So now we have a completely depleted pitching staff, it's almost 1:00am, and Florida is getting ready to come in. Can we just say to hell with it and come home to get ready for regional play? Not sure we need to go any further in the tournament. We'd have to pitch Wes Rea.

[CadaverDawg]

Oh well, looks like we're gonna be a 2 seed now***

Other than get us pissed at Cohen, this loss doesn't hurt us. Except for being kind of a momentum killer that could lead to back to back losses heading into Regional play.

[fishwater99]

Why take out Tatum for gentry? Bc Cohen is an idiot

Exactly. If you change pitchers it's to go to Holder.
Damn You Cohen.

[rcsteph1]

Gave it away, had plenty of opportunities to win that game. Need to just get out of there tomorrow and get ready for a road regional.

[LiterallyPolice]

It is weird every loss we have numerous fingers pointing at number 11 in the dugout for multiple reasons.

You know, I defended you when you were banned. I'm starting to come around to the other side. We get it.

[ClancyDawg]

I try to more or less stay out of that debate most of the time, but I'm gonna openly agree on this one. I saw too many dadgum times that he had us trying too dadgum hard instead of just letting it happen. Several times I though we made decisions on offense and baserunning like if we scored it was gonna be a walk off. Did Cohen know we were the visiting team?

Did he know UK is pretty good at scoring and playing for 1 early wouldn't cut it? No. Bunt bunt hit and run hit and run bunt against UK's scrubs.

[messageboardsuperhero]

This is on our pitching staff that had the lead on 4 separate occasions and couldn't hold it. The paly at the plate with Armstrong was just a great play. Our staff walked guys and gave them all the opportunities in the world and they finally took it.

Very true. Our pitching let us down tonight for the first time in a long time.

I still think back to all those weak hits that found holes in the 6th and that lucky bloop double by AJ Reed... Without those, we win this game a long time ago. You can't blame it all on that though- we blew tons of opportunities.

[CadaverDawg]

Exactly. If you change pitchers it's to go to Holder.
Damn You Cohen.

Yep, the game was lost when we brought in Gentry. When we managed not to lose it with Gentry, Cohen said "by God I can still lose us this game....Butch, tell Preston to get loose!".

F'ing Cohen. What a love/hate relationship he creates

[BulldogBear]

This is on our pitching staff that had the lead on 4 separate occasions and couldn't hold it. The paly at the plate with Armstrong was just a great play. Our staff walked guys and gave them all the opportunities in the world and they finally took it.

That is only because the offense failed to win the game and put them away early when we had ample chance to make this game look like last night's game. Pitching failed later because we were FORCED to count on it. Shouldn't have had to. We should've won this game and it should have been ugly.

[It_Could_Happen]

Preston brown and gentry never need to see the field the rest of the year. In browns last 2 appearances he's recorded 2 outs... Combined. Gentry either strikes out the side or gives up a blast. I'm sick of the damn Cohen projects. I like Cohen a lot, but some things just make me scratch my head.

[blacklistedbully]

ClancyWillDawgJames will you EVER give it a rest? I swear on all that is holy, you are the most annoying poster on this board BY FAR! And I started out taking your side some. You make this board beyond tedious. Don't you think we know what the **** you think of Cohen and bunting by now? Do you REALLY have to say it 50 times a day????

Damn, I hope they ban your ass to SPS! You're like that annoying kid who's only retort is, "I know you are. but what am I?". You're so ****ing annoying, I actually want to believe in bunting at all times, in all circumstances, and praise Cohen for every move, because I'm just so damn sick & tired of your bullshit!

You aren't convincing ANYONE to change to your POV. You're just making an ass out of yourself so much and so often, it's painful to watch.

[ClancyDawg]

They are who we thought they were, and we let em off the hook

[mrucker85]

It is weird every loss we have numerous fingers pointing at number 11 in the dugout for multiple reasons.
the only fingers I see are yours. So who do you credit for every win we have? I know your whole bit is to blame Cohen for everything wrong that happens, but it gets kind of old. If you think you can do better, then go talk to Scott and get yourself a HC position.

I know I don't post much, so I'm ready for the blasting that's coming...

[mparkerfd20]

Bright side is hopefully the Preston Brown experiment is over. We learned he's done this year. Only all of us knew that except Cohen.

[BulldogBear]

Well, I'm gonna go sleep off this gripey/pissey mood. Enjoyed it fellas. Good night.

[LiterallyPolice]

The game was lost tonight when we had bases loaded, no outs in the 8th (or thereabouts) and Henderson grounded into the double play. No bunts in that inning, I believe. Just bad hitting.

Give Kentucky credit.... They made some must-have defensive plays.

[Dawg61]

Game was lost when we were up 4-1 and shit it away in one inning. Oh well. Time for regionals now.

[It_Could_Happen]

All in all great game guys. Great thread. I'll end my rant with this, we either go way up or way down from this. They can learn from it or fold.

[mrucker85]

I have to say that was a really good game to watch, sucks we lost, but we get at least one more this tourney and then the regionals to see what we can do. Kentucky is playing really good right now. Yeah we made mistakes, but so did they. Like everybody else, I really wanted this win, and maybe it's just me, but you can't ask for a better one to lose (minus the extra innings and pitchers we had to use)

[whosyourdawgy]

Up 4-1 and Ross gets the little chopper over Wes' head and another lazy grounder that finds a hole. Then we have the infield in, up by 2 runs and the line drive that Heck couldn't handle. If we are at normal depth, that's an easy out. Then Ross gave up the only solid hit against him, tie game. Weird inning to say the least.

I still don't know about the play at the plate. Helluva throw, helluva play by the catcher to block the plate. Armstrongs foot definitely went up and over and on to the plate. But did the catcher actually ever tag him on the back with his glove? It appeared to me the glove never touched him. The catchers forearm did, but the glove with the ball was above his back to me.

No sense in bitching. It's over. It's 1 am. Players won't be able to sleep worth a shit because they'll be pissed about the loss. We used damn near all our pitching in this game. And UF will be rested and ready. Winning tomorrow does what for us? Even if we do win, what the Hell will we do for Saturday? Play the youngsters, go out and have fun and get ready for the regional

[CJDAWG85]

Last night showed how good we can play... Tonight was how we've looked all year.

[MarketingBully01]

Great throw, great play by UK catcher, who blocked the plate just enough.

Dude he was safe. Worst blown call I have seen in a while. You guys talk about the foot coming up but he tagged him right as he was on the plate. Either way anyway you look at it, the ump always calls you safe when the tie goes to the runner but if you slow it down his other foot got in safely at the plate before the tag was applied. Very bad call.
