Why is A Rod not hitting right handed?

I think I heard he wasn't hitting well against left handers so that and his hand issue might be why

Nice double by Mendoza

[Jeff Howe]

Ethan Mendoza just led off the top of the eighth with a double.

[Hookem1012]

Swing the bat, Will!

[.45s]

Yeah, wild pitch and Mendoza scores from third

[Hookem1012]

Heads up base running! With two outs that was incredibly ballsy.

[Jeff Howe]

Mendoza goes to third and comes home on back-to-back wild pitches. Texas has the lead, 4-3.

[.45s]

Borba 2 bagger.  A 1 run lead isn't big enough and with 2 outs in the 8th we are running out of time to build a lead.  Need more runs.

[Hookem1012]

The commentary for this game is worse than bad.

[Dread-headed Texan]

If can't get right was a baseball team, it would look like Kentucky🤣

[.45s]

Well, going to bottom of 8th and need to hold them for 6 outs.

Looks like it doesn’t matter which side of the plate he’s on. He’s struggling against lefties

Double digit strikeouts is getting old.  Now Flores has hit the first 2 batters.  Ugh.

[cmk4pres]

Why are we trusting Flores on the mound? They are trying to give us an out. Bad bad baseball 

[Jeff Howe]

Texas has a 4-3 lead in the bottom of the eighth.

Dylan Volantis has replaced Jason Flores with two on and nobody out.

[.45s]

Dylan does it.  Gets 3 outs and no one scores.  Might be freshman of the week again.  Now we need more runs.

[Jeff Howe]

It’s a three-up, three-down eighth for Volantis.

[Jeff Howe]

End of 8: Texas 4, Kentucky 3

A walk and 2 strikeouts.  We need Farmer to hit now.   

[cmk4pres]

Does Jayden D have a clue on the bases? How many times is this? 

[.45s]

Well, Farmer didn't get to finish because Duplantier got thrown out trying to steal second.  Going to bottom of 9th up by 1.

We have 12 strikeouts and only 5 hits.  Thank goodness for the 2 homeruns.

I don't know who sent him but it wasn't close at 2nd.

[Class of 04]

Maybe JD will pull a Nico next year...

[.45s]

On a lighter note, did anyone else see the Ole Miss and Alcorn State play where the Ole Miss runner on first base scored on a pickoff attempt and there were no errors?  It was hilarious.  Probably will never happen again

[.45s]

We need to Dylan to finish this.
