Don't look now but the pitching staff is growing up

I agree this is a young group that is learning how to pitch. It is going to be ugly at times but when they can throw strikes and mix it up they are pretty good.

Bevin has been awful but it isn’t because he doesn’t have good stuff. It is all related to not throwing strikes. His fastball has good movement and his slider is very good. He gets in trouble when he can’t throw his really good sliders for strikes which leads to him lower his spin rate or hanging his sliders. His B fastball has less movement. He is really good last night.

I was impressed with KY pitchers too.

I want to give props to EKJ. I have been extremely tough on him. His approach at the plate is now as a batter and not a hacker. Last night he hit the ball where the ball was pitched and didn’t just try to hit the hell out of the ball. If he keeps this approach at the plate he will excel the rest of this season. Oh, welcome back Mr, Biven.

Ditto that. I'm happy to see him help us win these games before we back ourselves against a wall. Biven looked great,sporting a 93 mph sinker that had the Cats befuddled.

Moth keeps eluding to what happened between the staffs pre-game but won't elaborate. He just made a comment about the UK staff "trying to stir the pot before the game" and ended his comment right there without any further elaboration. I have to wonder if he has been "muzzled". It's really strange. Why not come out and say specifically what the hell happened.

UK's coach is mouthy. He's recently gotten into it with A&M's coach and Ole Miss'. Being a dick is his thing, I guess.

Speaking of Ole Miss, I completely forgot Isaac Humphrey transferred there. He's playing well.

The mental stuff is frustrating. Tyson has no business assuming the bunt he is taught make sure it gets down. Neighbors was put in to bunt and freaking whiffs on a ball right down the middle.

UK executes Louisville doesn’t. To bad pitching staff was really good tonight.

On the Tyson issue. Neighbors has to get the bunt down - period. The pitch is as there and he whiffed.

NC is broken. It will take time to heal. He will need a lot of help and it won’t happen in a short to time. I’d say give him a five year extension with a big buyout. Patience, North Carolina.
