Frustrating start. Hope we’re not in for another dud of a rubber game for the cats.

Plastiak with an absolute bomb to center in the 2nd. A&M down on 8 pitches in their half. Cats now with 2 on 1 out top 3.
2-1 aggies

Cats waste a massive opportunity with 2 on nobody out. Top of the order let us down.

The announcers have seen nothing but the good Adam Fogel. I'd have to agree with them. He's been good in this series. Hope they see nothing but the good #55.

This game is a perfect summation of this team, this year so far and what is yet to come. In every aspect.
This game is over. This series is over. And this season is over.
Unfortunately you are correct. We will be fortunate to win one against Mizz, then we lose at least 8 probably 9 against Florida, Vandy, and tennessee. Those could get ugly.

Fogel with a 58 ft run to 2nd. Pretty ugly slide there. Can't put this totally on coaching but recruiting is obvious. We are not competitive talent wise even with teams like Texas A&M.

Wonder if he's safe if he slides normal or if they call that a drop on the exchange

Lol, not sure if anyone is still watching. But our AB’s are absolutely brutal. We look so over matched against any A&M pitcher.

Oh and Florida took two of 3 from Arkansas. So maybe that young team is already turning it around.

You know what the problem is with this program? No one cares about it outside of a handful of fans. No one in the media cares. There’s no pressure on Minge to win. There’s no one that will call him out or hold Barnhartt accountable for the baseball program. Just look at the media reports that come out. They hype on that 2017 team like it just happened. And let’s face it, that program was built by Henderson and had a group of guys that were tired of losing. I’m convinced you could put 100 Kentucky fans in a room and 90 of them couldn’t name 5 players on this team. I’m tired of seeing the rest of the SEC making improvements in their baseball programs while UK just limps on. I can’t quit being a fan but it’s becoming harder and harder to support it.

You are so right! When this team gets home NM should be relieved of his duties immediately! Turn the team over to Rozell and start a search immediately . Barring a miracle this is going to be the most embarrassing record maybe in history. Don't know what it would take, but I'd like to see them start with Andy Green who's the "bench coach" with the Cubs and Williams from U6. Just beyond belief Mitch hasn't made the move sooner.
Totally hate to say it, but look at puke orange . Three years ago they were terrible, made a change and look at what is going on with that program. They built that beautiful stadium and I know the right person could fill it up. Kentucky loves it some baseball. Build the program and we will fill it up..

I don’t understand how a school that prides itself on being the “State” school allows itself to be humiliated by being so far behind the city college in primary sports such as Baseball and Women’s Basketball. And it wouldn’t surprise me if that’s not the case in Men’s Basketball soon as well.

Ultimately it comes down to Athletic Dept leadership and Coaching. Frankly I think they are lucky that Lawson is still here as Coach of Softball. If she decides to leave I expect a huge drop off there. And Football has seen a slight uptick but more than anything they are fortunate that UofL hasn’t made the right hire in that program.

If UK baseball doesn’t miraculously make the NCAAT, they need to fire Mingione and show they are serious about being a contender in all sports!

UK could have a heck of a rebuild again...

I mean... our entire defense plus Anu and Liebert could or must leave. Replace everyone once again. That's crazy to think about.

That’s a scary thought but honestly, with what is left on the roster, not sure we would know a difference.

But all this talk of a potential new coach, I don’t know who would realistically come to Kentucky for the reasons I mentioned earlier. If I’m a coach, why come to a place that very few no exist. Sorry. I’m just salty tonight and the bourbon isn’t helping.
