A little chippy in the outfield post game?

 

[Orange931]

Ugly game , I’d like to have seen a sac bunt in the 8th with 2 on and no outs , oh welll hind sights 20/20

Totally agree, right down the first base line.

 

[volsagain]

We've just hit a little string of bad luck. Lucky catches robbed of the home run . Hate bama

 

[Kingzport]

Does our baseball team suck?

We lost 13 games last year… and you know how that ended. We are going to be fine. Keep them heads up.

 

[minorvol]

Man. What’s up with all the stupid comments. It was a bad game. Too many errors, not clutch hitting etc.
Saying it’s going to be another series loss right now is stupid. I think CTV is a pretty good coach. He’ll figure it out. Geez.

 

[Ritzwatch]

why send the runner, that was stupid

THAT WAS SO STUPID

Don’t like that decision to steal. Just can’t afford to run into an out.

that is stupid

You send a runner in this moment????????????????????????????????

You can't get thrown out there.

My goodness, why?

That was a horrible jump.

He is out. Stupidity.

Why send runner with one out? Too much risk vs reward in that situation.

wow I cant believe they sent him. Made zero sense

Stupid.

There you have it. Stupid call

Dang. I was wondering what took us so long to send him.

Fastest guy on the team. Hasn’t been thrown out in 21 games.

Gets to second with Hunter up, two chances to score him with a hit.

I liked the call.

EDIT: F-R-E-E B-E-R-T-O!

You don’t take the chance there imo. You’re down to your last two outs

Guess it just depends which way you look at it

Yep. Someone in the fan base was gonna be frustrated!

Not a well coached or well played game.

I think Jay stumbled on his break to second

Ritz is multitasking

I always trust Tony. I was just putting an idea out there. We had nothing to lose with 2 on and instead hit into a double play. It happens, let’s get Game 2.

 

[LivinginthePast]

I’ve learned to shut the **** up and trust our vols in the baseball world. Trust Tony and this team. They are very good. Was hoping we pop a homerun.

Why is Alabama good this year. I know they were decent in the past but this year they seem better. Transfer portal ? Coaching ?

 

[2EastTnVols]

Anyone know how long Kilen is expected to be out?

 

[Ritzwatch]

I think Jay stumbled on his break to second

I thought so, too. By then, he was committed.

I think it is important to recognize that we haven’t played much at all in grass turf and dirt infields this year.

It is a little different. Think about all the “overslides” we see at LNS.

The ball bounces a little different. Your feet grip a little different.

It is a long season. It is still cold outside. It is the first day of Spring. We play til mid summer. Stay the course. Keep getting better.

Go Vols.

Hammy, hard to tell how long.

 

[Christian Lowe]

Anyone know how long Kilen is expected to be out?

Tony said at best he’d pinch hit this weekend

If I’d been on top of the “prostate!” game, I might have willed us to victory!

IYKYK.

Really? I turned it off as soon as the ball hit the glove.

 

[2EastTnVols]

Long season, one game won't make or break at this point, but dammit I hate losing to those mfers

We’ve replaced a veteran lineup with 3 or 4 freshman , we’re gonna take some lumps on the road , they battled just too many mistakes

Yeah it's crazy how much veteran top-tier talent we lost last year.

Momentary comment as they were going to the post game interview. Didn’t really see anything other than a few Bama players mingling close to our post game huddle.

 

[Aerie Vol]

Lost a Friday road SEC game.

It happens.
