It reminds me of one of Little Keet’s little league games. There are more hit batters than hits. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I surmise that UK is being coached to get hit. I would start throwing at their heads. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesnt look that way. HBP, wild pitches, walks. Even a pitcher falling off the mound. It's just a comedy of mistakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Announcers talked about how they're coached to get hit. Said they were top 5 in the country in that stat. Kudos to them for pushing the limit, but when they're over the plate, and then lean further over the plate to get hit, that's questionable. I can see why pitchers would get frustrated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basketball Junkie Posted June 5, 2023 Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 That 3 pitch sequence pretty much sums it up. Hit by pitch, pitch thrown behind the batter, wild pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a friend who I played fast pitch with. First thing he would do during time to get in the box would be wipe away the line next to the plate. Then stand where the line used to be. He had a technique for taking a grazing hit on the side of his thigh. He got several HBP bases! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy06 Posted June 5, 2023 Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 I didn't get a chance to watch much of the game today, but the game Saturday it felt like UK was crowding the plate. One guy made a check swing and was hit. There were a couple other batters hit where they dipped their arm or knee into the path of the ball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted June 5, 2023 Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 UKs bum coach yapping off and running. Game 7 tonight boys!! If Kraft is healthy he could throw 40-50 pitches... Whiteaker hasn't thrown, he will tonight. I think Bothwell will start, ride him as far as he can go.... go to Whiteaker at that point. Mentioned Kraft, I think Foley could throw 1-2 innings, Risedorph maybe 1. Yoho would throw, I'd think. Throwing more LHP worries me against UK, but it's what we got. I doubt they'd let Sinnard throw, don't think he's even had an MRI. I was happy with Mercers strategy once we were down 5 runs late. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't handle his batters getting hit, when they refused to ever try to get out of the way. But either way, whining about 9 free base runners, in an elimination game, is wild.
