Is it a coincidence that Bruce Pearl's first big win in was on the road against Texas?

Now Todd Raleigh has done the same. :)

not taking anything away from Tennessee's performance, but anytime the opposing team has 4+ errors, you better win.

I don't care how it happened. It's a big win for this team.

I can't agree with that. Beating a # 3 team and your team is expected not to do much this year is huge IMO.

go back and look at our game thread. I said countless times it was a great win. Tennessee took advantage of Texas' mistakes and made them pay. I'm just saying if you're ranked 334th and you're facing the number one team in the country and they commit 4+ errors you better win.

While they did have a lot of errors and walks, they also had 7 extra base hits. Keeping 7 extra base hits to only 4 runs is amazing!

It's all about finding ways to win. Whether the other team scores 12 runs or makes 7 errors. A "W" is the only thing that matters

What if the first baseman boots 4 singles. That too?

you're reading way too much into this, but i applaud that you actually looked back at a previous post.

I never said Tennessee did anything wrong. I'm just stating a baseball fact. If the other team commits that many errors, they should not win under any circumstances. And Tennessee didn't let them. They capitalized on the mistakes and played solid ball all the way around.

I was a former pitcher and I just recalled the numerous errors made while I was pitching. I think 4 errors probably is enough to win in most games.

two of the errors were throwing errors that I know of. I was only able to listen to audio of the game, so I can't be sure, but 7 out of 10 times throwing errors are the result of the fielder trying to get the runner out in time. If that was the case here, Tennessee gets even more credit for hustling. One went into the freaking stands from the SS. As a former 2B/SS, I can't stand it when that happens. I put a few in the dugout (or at least off the fence in front of the dugout), but looking at pictures of Minute Maid Park, I honestly can't recall letting one get that far away from me. It happens though, but typically from third.
