The Official #1 Tennessee @ Evansville Knoxville Super Regional Game 2 Thread (Sat. June 8th 11AM EST) (ESPN2)

[VOLINVONORE]

This is a very good offensive team and we have got to hit the damn ball if we don’t wanna be going home

Our team hits fast balls. They do not do a very good job of hitting off speed and breaking stuff. It has been the pattern all year.

 

[barney]

I guess their coach was correct in that solo home runs won’t hurt. He knew more than I did as I didn’t give the Aces a chance down 4-0 and our bats on fire, esp since we got to their pen early.

We got out coached today for sure

 

[Weezer]

Announcers seem gleeful that we're losing. I'd like to punch them in the gonads.

 

[KeyVol14]

Does anyone honestly think Evansville is gonna hit like this again tomorrow if we do have to play?

Nope

 

[Vol737]

Swinging for the homerun probably. I need to go on with my chores. Sucks.

Come do mine! I’m a glutton for punishment and will watch to the end now. Probably won’t feel like doing them afterward if this doesn’t go well.

 

[Volstylexx]

This has shades of the Vandy game in the SEC tournament.

and we know how that turned out. Sometimes a good loss is a nice moment to refocus before what will likely be THE game against FSU in Omaha that will likely determine a push to the title series or not.

 

[volplaya8]

We’ve been spoiled with how easy things have been and you can just tell the crowd expected to roll this team twice without any trouble.

I said it last week when I was there…got blasted some for it though…lol

 

[BreatheUT]

It's a long frigging day to chew on this L.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Crowd here has been bad. I’m at the game. I can’t blame the crowd for anything after we started getting shelled, but after those 3 solo shots people in the stadium thought we had the game won and sat on their hands for the next 3 innings until Beam started to struggle.

Was there yesterday and was really pleasantly surprised with how involved the crowd was.

Today, sitting on my back deck watching and you could barely tell the crowd is even there.

That’s because they want us to suffer by announcing another game.

Put Weezer in coach!

Right now I'm just b!tching but have turned my back to the game.

 

[barney]

Alright behnke

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

There we go!! Something positive! Finally got McGinnis out

 

[vol66]

Flinched at that one!

 

[Dougie_D]

What’s the most Runs TN has made in a single inning this season?

 

[BreatheUT]

And this is your concern?

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

How the hell will they limit ours. Their game 3 starter carries an 11.80 ERA.

We’ll swing at junk

 

[VolPack22]

Only good thing that happened today is that NC State is beating the bejesus out of Georgia right now 13-0 T5

 

[vol94]

Does anyone honestly think Evansville is gonna hit like this again tomorrow if we do have to play?

Hope not.

But there are a lot of things that have occurred that I never thought would happen over the past 32 yrs I’ve watched TN sports.

Call it BVS but it’s true in every sport.

 

[VFL1127]

What's up with all the announcer smack talk? I don't get it honestly.

 

[volman128]

Giving up 10 runs against Evansville? Lmfao

 

[BigALWiLson]

Jesus

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Another damn 2 out hit

 

[CAVPUT]

I stand corrected. You successfully jinxed it.

Nah. Didn't pick UT. Been around long enough to see the signs and know what's coming. If we'd been facing LSU, I suspect we'd see a different score and performance today. Cinderellas are our kryptonite....in various sports. Tomorrow will be tough for our guys. The pressure will be enormous.
