A&M was down by 5 runs



In my mind that actually makes it worse. You’re up by five and scared to go one more inning?

Total bitch.

I don’t hate him like I used to.

I definitely don’t hate him like A&M, Schloss, or Sully.

spile strike three and let it roll around

drop any fly balls

throw to ball into the dugout over thr 1st basemen’s head.

I don't hate Nick Mingione, but he has a history of being bush league and using travel ball antics to try and steal a win here or there. Do you blame him? He's trying to win at Kentucky of all places. He has to try and steal a win to compensate where the program lacks everywhere else.

Team Mingione on this one. A&M acting all surprised at UK stalling when they're 30 seconds away from a guaranteed win. Anyone would do it. And if you're not doing it, you're in the wrong line of work.


Maybe A&M should have scheduled the game for 1pm instead of 2pm?

Any coach that does this in the bottom of the 8th inning up 5 runs is a pussy. Downvote me

If you don’t have confidence to win the game up 5 with 3 outs to go then just quit coaching

How does a “travel curfew” come into effect?


SEC getaway day rules dictate that no new inning can begin after 4:30 p.m. local time on the final game of a series on Sunday to ensure teams can travel without major delays.

This is because most student athletes have classes on Monday and preventing them from leaving on time could cause major issues the following day.

Who the hell still has a travel curfew these days. Kentucky is too cheap to get a charter flight like everyone else?

It’s part of the game. CJJ would’ve done the same. As a coach you give your team every opportunity at the W.

Rules like the one referenced in the OP, that you can’t start a new inning past 4:30pm in certain circumstances?

I wish they would change these rules. Especially the not being able to play on Sunday as a makeup game if you start on Thursday. That really needs to change.

Anyways, I don't fault a coach for taking advantage of the rules. His job is to win. I don't agree with idea of "bush league." Change the rules.

Yeah I know that rule. How is it “protecting the kids”?

I actually like Mingione. Earley is a tool though and he’s a fricking terrible coach
