Top of the 7th:

Woods working on a 1 hitter.

Never mind. First batter on base with a single.
Next batter pops up to short center.
Base hit up the middle. Runners on 1st and 2nd, one out.
Next batter whiffs. 2 outs (6th KO for Woods).
Gapper to left center. 2 Wildcats score.
That'll be it for Woods after 99 pitches.

Hoskins, Freshman out of Duluth, in to pitch.
Walks first batter he faces in 5 pitches.
Walks second batter on 5 pitches. Bases loaded.
Walks third batter. Runner scores.
For some reason, the next better swings at one and pops it up.

Georgia happily wastes their big inning.

Kentucky strikes back, but Dawgs still lead 4-3.

Bottom of the 7th:

Condon strikes out swinging on 3 pitches.
Collins grounds out on first pitch.
Harber grounds out.

Quick 3 up, 3 down.

4-3 Dawgs heading to the 8th.

Top of the 8th:

Hoskins still pitching.

Liner to first for the first out.
Strike out swinging.
Base hit to left field.
Passed ball (looked like a wild pitch to me) advances runner to 2nd.
Big hit off the wall in right ties the game and puts a runner on 2nd with 2 outs.
That'll be it for Hoskins with his 3d blown save of the season.

Marsh in to pitch.
Grounder to 3rd, Harber tags the runner.

4-4 heading to the bottom of the 8th (heavy sigh).

Top of the 9th:

Marsh pitching.

First batter strikes out swinging.
Second batter walks on a full count.
Base hit into right. Runner stops at 2nd.
Batter walks on five. Bases loaded with one out. Unreal.
8 total walks for UGA, five by the bullpen.

Batter walks on a full count. Walks in the go ahead run. So painful, so stupid.

Still top of the 9th:
New pitcher for Georgia. We get to watch the commercial with the girl that has a mustache.

Rhadans in with the bases loaded, one out.

Batter gives it a ride to right field for an out, but a runner scores.

6-4 Kentucky, 2 outs with runners at the corners.

Batter rifles a shot into left. Another two out run. 7-4 Kentucky with runners at the corners.
Runner steals second.
Batter whiffs.

Inning ends, but Kentucky adds 3 runs and leads 7-4.

Bottom of the 9th:

LePlante grounds out.
Anderson grounds out.
Tate pops up.

Really bad loss for Georgia squandering a 4 run lead like they really wanted to squander it.

Georgia goes 16-14 and 1-9 in the SEC.

This team isn’t worth following; we are damn near playing every game without a bullpen. No lead will ever be safe and it doesn’t matter how well the starter does. Really sad state of affairs because this team has some bats and Woods has put up some good starts

It's tough. I am really not sure why Stricklin should make it through the season. We are being out-recruited and out-coached. We are not a smart, focused team that knows how to make the most of every in-game situation. Quite the opposite, in fact.

No excuses not to make a change at this point. None.

I'm rooting for the weather tomorrow.

We’ve never really seemed to have a strategy at the plate under Stricklin other than spend the first 2-3 innings hoping for the best and then the rest of the game trying to adjust (if we adjust at all).

For a bullpen to be THIS awful 10 years into a tenure is firable. 1/3 of the team isn’t even functional right now and there’s nothing the other 2/3 can do to compensate. Literally failing guys like Woods, Condon, Collins, Harber, Tate, etc who are respectable SEC players but can only do so much.

Well, I think we can safely say the Sticklin era is coming to an end soon. This team isn't really competitive in SEC play. Sure the SEC is the premier league, but with all the talent in the state, we should be at least a top tier team in the conference.

We're as bad or as close to it as I've ever seen us in baseball in the 50+ years I've been watching...

That's saying something cause I've seen some shitty teams.

Liam Sullivan pitches first UGA shutout of an SEC team since 2014. Dawgs take game 1 of today's doubleheader 3-0.

Game 2 @ 3:00pm

I should probably stop doing the play by play. I may be the problem.
