To whoever was complaining the other day about the top seed having to play the early game, this is why that is done. Because if there are schedule adjustments, you become the least likely to have to play two games in one day, as we had to do anyway last year. Should Tennessee continue winning...

It’s not an advantage or disadvantage for anyone. Both teams still had to get up early, have the pregame meal at 6:30 AM local time, and be at the field by 8 AM local time. Both teams went through most of their pregame routine, including hitting, before being sent back to the hotel. If we had...

Because Pannell is hitting over .400 over her last 10 games? It was a day to get people reps at familiar places, not a day to clear the bench for the hell of it. They were playing to win, and Pannell at DP hit the walk-off homer.

She told me in the pregame interview that she wanted to give Zaida one more start at third since her shoulder is now fully healthy. With G behind the plate and Taylor in left, it was 2023 out there, save for Mealer instead of Ivy Davis. I think Zaida is the best defensive third baseman that...

It’s now 10:04 and it still hasn’t rained in Knoxville. Glad we didn’t hurry.

Every game is different. If three hits was the norm, you would have a point. But that’s not what has happened all year long. Tennessee did just enough to win a three-game series against the #3 team in the country and the primary competition standing between the team and repeating as SEC...

And one of them went over the fence to win the game. Please keep up.

Dave Hooker is still alive?

That one wasn’t a secret, she’s officially day-to-day, and anybody that says it’s two or three weeks is making it up. Just needed to correct that.

That is not at all accurate. I’m not sure if she will end up playing, but she intends to give it a go tomorrow.

Happed rolling her ankle on a base in practice. Karen announced it during her weekly segment on our show this morning. You can hear the full interview here, with the Faw news at the 1:45 mark: Lady Vol Softball- Head Coach Karen Weekly (3.26.24) - The Erik Ainge Show

All I can tell ya is what the stopwatch says, I’ve seen it with my own eyes. She’s the fastest PR option outside of Katie Taylor, who is starting tonight.

Her running times are almost identical to what they were pre-injury/brace last year, FWIW. She can still fly.

I’m on the road with hoops, Charley Collier will have the radio games until basketball season is over. Seems UT’s web provider is having an issue getting the feed, but the game is airing on the Sports Animal AM 990 and the alternate stream on the Sports Animal app and the website.

All of the data for the stats that we can see, whether it’s on UT site, or StatBroadcast are input by the official scorer, usually an SID or a tournament official at one of the big tournaments. At some of those tournaments, the home team’s SID is will be responsible for doing the stats for the...
