GO BASEVOLS!

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

I got the goods.

 

[Halph66]

A thing of beauty!
Baseball is a great game. It aint always the biggest, or the strongest, it's that one that has what it takes between the ears. Congratulations Evan Russell!
GBO! Finish the drill.

The SEC Network announcers must be hurting with how they favored Vanderbilt the whole game

Well Chris Burke is a former Vol baseball great, so I think he was pretty pleased.

 

[VolBricks]

Nice win today BaseVols. Now for the closeout game tomorrow to win the series.

How Vol fans keep calling Burke a Vandy homer this weekend is beyond me.

Yeah, that’s just silly.

How stupid was Corbin to even pitch to Evan? Don’t get me wrong Russell is now a Tennessee Legend as a result, and I’m glad he did

Bases were juiced, he wouldve put him on if Pav hadnt gotten HBP

It’s not stupidity, it’s arrogance.

And it would have been the tying run. Can't do anything but hope the guy rolls into a double play.

Yes that completely changed his strategy and I knew when we loaded them up Corbin's proverbial hand was forced!! That's why I love baseball....it is loaded with mental challenges on every pitch. ER had a memorable day for the Vols...not bad for a kid from Scotts Hill, Tennessee!!

Exactly it forced Corbins hand, but you dont exactly except a kid to come up and hit another homer.
We saw something special today.

 

[Volfan1000]

Russell had the game of his career and not bad for a walk on.

Couldn’t have been a better game to have the “game of your career.”

Speaking of Pav, has anyone heard anything about his hand?

 

[OneVolNation]

That's a true competitor making the difference when it counts.

My dad was a basketball player from Scotts Hill under hall of fame coach, Mack Chandler. Nice to see SHHS getting some attention. Nice work Evan!!!

It certainly didn't look good.

Vitello said on the initial X Rays he was told nothing was seen that looked like a fracture, im guessing after swelling goes down they will check again. Personal opinion he doesnt play tomorrow.

Watched the entire game. They _DID_ talk a lot about how strong the 2 top pitchers for Vandy were and how they were set to be top/high draft picks. I think you heard what you wanted to hear. I'm a UT fan but was interested in the commentary and interested also that we got to one of those top picks. You heard what you wanted to.

They did talk alot about them but It was more about possibly being first and second pick and never been done off the same team etc. there was good chatter about ut also. Burke on the 3rd home run was priceless though. You could sense he wanred to holler but refrained.

 

[TnVol!]

Give Him 6.

 

[2GeeZ4VolZ]

Yeah, that’s just silly.

Agreed. I think he’s just doing his best to be intentionally impartial. I think Burky has a future in broadcast. Would love to hear/see him on Braves broadcasts one day.
