That huge K by Reilly is pitching depth. Holton had a bad night, doesn't make him a failure.

Re: Kentucky #1
Bugler’s not the greatest defensive catcher we’ve ever had, but I think he frames pitches well.
Re: Kentucky #1
That was a great AB by Polk, fouling off 3-4 pitches just off the strike zone and then jumping on a hanger up and going the opposite way for a double, just as he did on the fouls.

When Reilly is good, he is very, very good. We got the good Reilly tonight. Terrific job!Vandy187187 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 28, 2023 9:05 pm Reilly with a nice night. He could start for a lot of teams.
Re: Kentucky #1
Maldo Ks the first guy in the 9th...on the exact same practically unhittable pitch that the UT guy golfed for a game-tying HR last week. He's thrown four of them for swinging strikes tonight, 2 on strike 3's.

Re: Kentucky #1
I don't know why he was so upset and why our announcers had no idea why the umps called a ball. Simple, the pitcher turned as if to throw to second but didn't. On the next stretch, he did it again, but still didn't throw. That resulted in a dead ball call of a ball. It is dead ball because of what happened: everyone was confused and Bradfield was tagged. Luckily there was a dead ball time out and it became 2-1.

Re: Kentucky #1
The strike zone thimble is a mystery. But it hurts good pitching which is about edges.
Teams are taking a lot more pitches from our good pitchers - and it is hurting us. We need to adjust. But frankly it just seems arbitrary. It helps hackers and hurts good baseball.
Is it every where or just the SEC?
