#IUBASE @ Kentucky

Clearly Lemonis had no interest in winning this game by starting Hobbie. Everyone's been bad but no one has been worse than Hobbie and you don't start him against best offense in SEC. This is a game you start Herrin or Kreuger who while not great have at least been better. We were lucky we got out of 1st giving up just 2 runs. For everything I have said about Lemonis making better pitching decisions lately this one is as bad as any he was making early in year.

These announcer clearly are not very bright (or just to pro SEC) to say we need to beat UK to make tourney. As long as we win 5 of 6 remaining Big Ten games were in. Much more important we sweep PSU than win tonight because a loss at home to PSU will do far more damage to our RPI than a win tonight will help it.

And Hobbie serves up another 2 runs in 2nd. They are making great contact off him unsurprisingly. Good news is he has thrown over 50 pitches in not even 2 innings so his pitch count did not let him go far. Finally Lemonis pulls him. Never should of started in 1st place but at least Lemonis got him out of there relatively fast again.

Well Lemonis blew us the game starting Hobbie. However, as I said much more important we sweep PSU than win tonight as losing 1 of the 3 to PSU will do far more RPI damage than a win tonight would of helped not to mention it affects our conference standing.

Looking ahead to UL next week they actually have a slightly weaker offensive than UK but some stronger guys at the top with less depth. However, their pitching is far better than UK. That said while their 3 weekend starters are top notch, their weekday starters have been awful so that gives us a much better chance than normal. Their bullpen is lights out so it is imperative we get to whichever weekday starter they use early and are ahead in the 6th or 7th inning to have any chance. Preferably we start Kryzsko or Herrin (who have their own faults) assuming Krueger is now the Saturday guy. If we fall behind early like tonight no chance.
