Recruiting Football Talk VII

[GoBigOrange86]

KT double gets a run home.

 

[crawdaddyjc]

add a rbi to get back up by 2!
5-3!

 

[KB5252]

This Evansville relief pitcher is on his game so far.

Looks like he's starting to wear down a little. Not hitting his spots as well as was..... And as I type this we found a pitch.... Not a bad throw though

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

Go yard Curley!

 

[DarthVol1]

Fear da Tears!

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

Fear da Tears!

Tears for Fears

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Curley walks. 2 outs, runners on 1st and 2nd. Lohry up.

 

[Ace]

Robbed on the hit down the line. Announcers must have been paid to protect the umps.

That is every sportscaster- they want to keep their job so they rarely criticize umps or refs

 

[KB5252]

Ugh

 

[GoBigOrange86]

6 LOB so far. 5-3 Tennessee. M5.

That is an issue with sports. Umps/Refs are human but any criticism of them is met with horror. When they are treated like they are infallible, some of them may start to think they are.

Timely hitting is crucial.

And there is not much hope it gets any better. Few younger people are signing up for the fan abuse they get now. Friend of mine is a retired 35 year TSSAA ref and umpire. He teaches the younger ones now and says they get a handful each year and half of them give it up after a year.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Leadoff hit for Evansville. Tying run to the plate. No outs.

 

[Vols4us]

I was hoping to see one game Drew pitched this year where he kept the ball down in the zone for a whole game.

Nope.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

6 LOB so far. 5-3 Tennessee. M5.

And that is a bad sign...Baseball usually always punishes teams for that.

If they would own it and admit their mistakes, everyone would go a lot easier on them. People get vicious because the league and the officials act like they never make any mistakes. If they said "ya that was a mistake" every once in a while, almost everyone wouod be more gracious.

The protection that the media and the league gives them makes everyone feel like they have to pile on even more to compensate.

 

[tnvols72]

Might want to set Beam down

 

[GoBigOrange86]

And a base hit for Evansville scores a run. 5-4.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Might want to set Beam down

They are seeing him well lately.

Nope.

Oklahoma start, Illinois, AUB, LSU, Mizzou, FL, USCe were all really good starts. He’s definitely not at his best currently tho.

 

[Jimmy Football]

Evansville is plucky.

I am just talking about 20 year olds trying to get their feet wet in middle and high school games. The abuse they get at that level runs them off and you never get any better ones to replace all of the old guys we have now at the higher levels.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Evansville is plucky.

It’d be great to see them go to Omaha if they were playing absolutely anybody else. They’re a great team that isn’t going to lie down. Vols need to wake up.

 

[SoilVol]

Kirby Connell deserves a statue outside the stadium
