Alright…resuming at 1:00 central today, 1 out, man on 1st, B7, Vols up 5-3. We running Arvidson out there?

That's what I’m wondering about.

 

[GSPVol]

Guess we won't know who will try to finish game 2 until they take the field? Interesting to see how Elander handles the staff in this situation.

 

[Kosmalski]

Very smart move to use whohe used. In my opinion of course

 

[SGMVols]

This pitching staff is so bad. Terrible bullpen, and an inconsistent rotation. May be the worst since Tony’s first year.

Tony’s first team had Garrett Crochet, Garrett Stallings, and Andrew Schultz. Nobody on this staff holds a candle to those guys.

For all the great things Tony did here, he left our pitching worse than he found it.

 

[SGMVols]

The only pitcher on this team who will make AA, much less the majors, is Kuhns.

This is why I don’t think E will make a change at pitching coach , it’s Reynolds first year at the SEC level and he’s made some mistakes for sure but I think a better bullpen could have helped him and the whole team , I don’t remember Tony running anybody off staff wise in his time here and always spoke of loyalty and family among staff , I could be wrong but I just don’t see it .

 

[adam.vol]

I don’t recall that ever hsppening.

I could definitely see a team down by several scores who would rather forfeit than make new travel arrangements, but I have no specific recollection of it happening.

You might be right, but I have to wonder how this staff would look under Anderson's tutelage? No offense to the current pitching coach of course.

They would still be mid. The issue is talent.

 

[Gilbert]

Mack out again. Doubt we see him again this year.

That sucks.

Mack out again. Doubt we see him again this year.

This is UT. It's always something.

 

[ThreatLevelOrange]

Sweep the leg

 

[2EastTnVols]

Mack out again. Doubt we see him again this year.

In that case arvy needs to finish game 2 to get the series win. Probably no way we win game 3 now.

 

[NO SIR EEE]

There’s always a shot to win a game. Don’t be a quitter.

What's up with Manny?

 

[hooperj75]

Mack out again. Doubt we see him again this year.

I don’t think Mack was ever going to start this weekend regardless of recovery. Not sure this means anything about the rest of the season (unless you have some insider info).

 

[TechnoVol]

We need to do whatever is necessary with pitching in this first game to get the series win.

 

[Gilbert]

No inside info. Just that this staff has shown they will be the most careful with arms ( and I don’t disagree with the stance) to protect guys. Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s shelved even for the postseason.

And when i say “this staff” I’m talking about previous years but I know Josh will follow the same thinking.

I said probably

 

[VolunteerVFL]

This is everyone. We haven't had this issue in years.

 

[Bigvalley84]

Early at A&M isn’t to worried about arms , he’s thrown several of his guys multiple times on weekends

Do we really have a legitimate choice if Elander considers this game crucial?

 

[Bigvalley84]

Well their 3 hitter is the first batter and is a righty so I’m not sure we’ll see Arv or Rhudy , I wasn’t a fan of Haas coming in to face the top of their lineup in the 7th but they have to learn somehow

 

[10nacvols]

For what it’s worth. We haven’t seen a drop of rain all night. Everybody left, so if they do resume going to be 200 of us here

Where you at? I’d like to meet you if possible. I’m sure we have passed each other several times.
