Baseball Around the SEC - Week 12 (5/4 - 5/10/23)

This is one of those weekends that will set some team up for a big finish. There might be some wafting by a few teams. It will be interesting to say the least.

 

Pulling out all the stops for #1 i guess.. Can the eagle throw strikes??

 

I'm definitely a big Auburn fan this weekend.

 

What happened to the golden eagle?

 

I hope the concessions stand is stocked up with corndogs. LOL.

 

With ALL the SEC ranked teams going on the road.

 

Look folks I don't post here much because I barely understand that baseballs are "sorta" round and bats are............is it wood? or aluminum??

LOL

But I'm all Gator, in every sport, so all I will say is I am looking forward to coming here to celebrate the title with ya'll at the conclusion of the CWS.

 

No idea, maybe it flew the coop

Dont pay much if any attention to the sideshows.

 

AU saving their 2 starters(yes all they have..lol) for Sat-Sun

Basically conceding game 1. w/ who they are starting(Allsup) v Skenes.. smart play.

Bet big on the LSU ML..

 

Bama up 6-2 on Vandy going to the 7th. Pickney hit a grand slam in the second.

 

Now 8 - 2 in the bottom of the 8th with Bama batting and 2 on / no outs.

 

Sorry, 11-2.

 

Bama closes it out and beats Vanderbilt 11-2. Almost had the run rule with a runner on third in the bottom of the 8th. Vandy used three good pitchers that might make the next two days a little more interesting with their bullpen choices. Bama's starter went 7 innings and only gave up 2 runs. Vanderbilt's loss means Florida moves a half game closer to the SEC lead.

 

Kentucky off to a good start with SC in Game 2. Kentucky up 1-0 with bases still loaded with 1 out in the bottom of the second. SC pitcher Mahoney has already thrown 55 pitches. Score now 2-0 with 2 outs, 2 men on base.

 

Some of these afternoon games are worth keeping an eye on. Such as...
After 5 Kentucky is up on South Carolina 8-5.
After 6 Georgia is up on Tennessee 3-1.
After 4 Alabama is tied with Vanderbilt 1-1.
.......Keeping my fingers crossed.
Edit - UK now up 11-5 after a 3 run homer, going to the 7th

 

Georgia holds on and beats Tennessee 3-1.
Kentucky up 12-6 over South Carolina and threatening for more in the bottom of the 8th.
Alabama just went up 2-1 on Vanderbilt on a Mac Guscette homerun in the bottom of the 8th. TY Mac!

Edit UK up 14-6 heading to the 9th.

 

Could have really used at least one win amongst our losses to Bama, Auburn, UGA, UT… not to mention at least one @ SC. A couple more in the win column would’ve been huge in such a brutally competitive conference.

 

Kentucky gets the win 12-7 and the series win 2-0 over South Carolina. Game 3 is tomorrow.
