Honorary OT pick'em for Indiana State

[@1RBFjr]

A traditionally good mid major coming to town Tuesday. How will the Vols respond to this past weekend? Weather forecast is much better. Going with OT's 2021 pick'em, but modified. Potentially lots of points at stake Tuesday.

THREE questions to answer.

PICK'EM FORMAT UT -4.5

Cover, No Cover or Tie
DOUBLE UP, just say so..........

Remember, only double for the FIRST question.
IF PICKED COVER OR NO COVER CORRECTLY, 4 POINTS WILL BE AWARDED, 8 if you Double Up
-8 if you Double Up and are incorrect​

question 2
how many pitchers will Tennessee use (you can only pick a whole number. i.e. 5 pitchers, not 4.5)
4 points for the correct guess
1 points for being either over or under by one pitcher
-2 points for being over or under by two pitchers
double IS NOT in play for the number of pitchers

question 3
how many stolen bases will Tennessee have (you can only pick a whole number. i.e. 3 bags, not 3.5)
4 points for the correct guess
1 points for being either over or under by one stolen base
-2 points for being over or under by two stolen bases
double IS NOT in play for the number of stolen bags​

Indiana State returns eight position starters and nine key pitchers from its 2020 team that finished 8-6, before the season was canceled due to COVID-19. Returning for the Sycamores after starting all 14 games and leading the team in average is infielder Jordan Schaffer(.339, 19 H, 6 RBI). Utility man Dominic Cusumano also returns for the Sycamores after hitting .318 with 14 base hits and a .400 on-base percentage.

The Sycamores return nearly all their arms on the mound from a year ago apart from 2019 MVC Newcomer of the Year Collin Liberatore. Tristan Weaver (LHP), Connor Cline (RHP) and Cam Edmonson (LHP) return after combining for nine starts last season. ISU's bullpen returns several key pieces including Jake Ridgway, Zach Frey and Geremy Guerrero.

Rules are simple and may change without notice:​

​

1. Simply pick how the Vols will fair during the weekend series or weekday game(s)
2. Reply with Sweep, 3-1, 2-2, 1-3, or Swept
3. At the end of the season (tournaments included) a winner will be selected by their correct predictions and awarded a special prize on behalf of OldTimer and not to exceed OT's allotted budget
4. All predictions must be submitted by the 1st pitch of the 1st Game, any edits after the start of the game will result in a disqualification for that Series or Game and points will be deducted
5. You do not have to play every week, total points won will win
6. Point system may be changed at my discretion at any time
7. More rules may be added at my discretion
8. No wagering, 2021 Pick'em is for the enjoyment of the Volnation forums.
9. Disputes will be handled by a 3 person panel: Me, Myself and I
10. And stay 6' apart.......

Again, if there is an EDIT after the game starts on your post, your prediction doesn't count and points will be deducted at OT's discretion



Pick with your gut and not your heart!!! - OT
