Last pitch wasn't a strike even where the catcher caught it. Low and outside all the way.
Shinny goes down looking. Swings at junk and then doesn't protect. Auburn pitcher finding a groove with the offspeed pitch.
Another dreadful inning. Waste a lead off HBP, and we get a strikeout (Johnson), weak popout( Aklinski) and a puny ground ball (Lewis).
I don't remember the exact details. Sounds about right. I think we lost a few commits when Henderson was let go.
This umpire has been giving that low and outside corner for both pitchers. Auburn took advantage this inning. Let's see if Harper can do the same.
Swings at all ball in the dirt but then looks at a fastball in the zone. Very frustrating.
That's what I remember. Basically, we hired Ming in June and a couple of recruits walked away. Not sure if Holland was one, but I guess so.
If he gets that last pitch against Shinn called a strike all afternoon, it’s going to be a long day.
Well, not a fastball, but it definitely was a pitch he should have protected on and got a piece of.
That's exactly right. Two pitches in the top of the 2nd called strikes for the Auburn pitcher that Harper didn't get the call on in the bottom of the 2nd. Those two Auburn pitches were balls.
I'm told this particular HP umpire struggles a lot with consistency. He's the one from Sunday game against Mississippi State where Ming almost got thrown out.
And just like that, Auburn's Will Holland strikes again. Diving stop to rob Cottam of a hit and turns a double play.
You proved to be prophetic. Lead-off HR, then makes a diving stab of a Cottam grounder up the middle to turn a double play when UK had runners at first and second and no outs.
Was not close. Easy to tell.

Auburn going to the bullpen with runners at first and second and two outs in T3. Right-hander Daniel Davis coming on for Tigers.
And yet again, we do not cash in with leadoff two batters being walked. This team is SOOOOO frustrating.
Former LSU standout Ben McDonald questioning on SEC Network whether UK's superior RPI trumps LSU's two additional conference wins. Only problem with that, teams don't play same opp. LSU didn't play Florida or Georgia.
So, that's the exact situation, in some ways, that Cottam was in on Saturday against Vandy. He doesn't bunt and they turn 2 and we don't scratch.
The Difference so far in this game Auburn gets hits when guys in scoring position and we don’t.
