Game over! 16-8 and used a lot of pitchers for IU. Giles only pitched two pitches. He should be good to pitch tomorrow.

I guess for 1 pitch, Ryder will still be able to give them something if called on tomorrow.

So we have Frieda, Bosma (if he isn't hurt), Giles, Logue, Hise, Chavez, and Howe that have pitched but not this weekend. Nove pitched two innings, might could do more.

I wonder what it was. UK does showboat a lot and then there’s somebody starting a very loud , “throw it in the dirt” chant, lol.

Nove didn’t pitch I don’t believe? That was McCoy pretty sure.

Indiana pitchers hit our batters 7 times tonight. UK players were pissed. Towards the end of the game both dugouts got warnings to cool down.

I was wondering if Bosma is out for the season. He hasn't pitched in a while. I'm betting Johnny Allstaff, whoever has innings.
Should have everyone but Smith, Lee, Strickland and Hagenow.

Only use Mason Moore in emergency but he can go a few he only threw 50 some Friday. Darren Williams should be good for couple. Need Bosma to go about 5 plus.

Correction. I just read we were hit 9 times.

Kentucky is pissed because we keep getting hit and it's a bunch of ********. I keep waiting for us to knock someone down but we haven't so far. Tomorrow should be interesting if the game isn't close.

It was McCoy - we should have several arms available tomorrow.
Fascinating. I thought I got a good look and thought it was Nove. They are about the same size. That was a pretty gutsy move that could have backfired but saved an inning of a regular pitcher.

Translation: "We were at fault and my assistant coach is an asshat mad about something embarrassingly petty. But I'm going to pretend that it's a 'both sides' problem".

How about the play of Nolan McCarthy today- both games had two massive momentum home runs.

Ming takes a lot of beating on here (including from me) but this move to McCarthy this weekend has been an absolute grand slam. McCarthy is a tough at bat every single time up to the plate and he had two HR yesterday. Also, the decision to go with Smith on Friday night also worked.

Ming said last night that everyone is available except for Hagenow (who went 79 pitches yesterday). I think we'll definitely see Williams and Moore. The other guys mentioned (Hise, Giles, etc) could be brought in situationally.

Also, I don't think Bosma is hurt, I think the staff just lost some confidence in him as a starter. If we do start him today, I would think it would be a very short leash.
