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

5-10 Aces bottom seventh. We have scored in big run inning before. Need to shut them down, play better D, and have a big offense inning. Still have six strikes left to get 6 runs.

 

[theroyz71]

When was the last clean inning for our pitchers?

 

[MagnoliaVol]

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

Maybe the 13 run inning at Florida?

 

[Purplehaze26]

Everyone should just quit whining and blaming everyone and everything. They just outplayed Vols today. That's why we play 3.

Come out tomorrow and shut them down. See if their second tier pitching is better than ours.

 

[barney]

Fielding has also been really trash today

 

[Aerie Vol]

So many of their hits have been garbage. Lol

 

[Proud Army Wife]

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.

I really really didn’t want to have a game 3 in this series. I’ll be interested to see how this team responds tomorrow because they have looked uninterested today.

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

...If they had any...

 

[BreatheUT]

Giving up 10 runs against Evansville? Lmfao

We are getting pounded inning after inning.

 

[BruisedOrange]

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

Guaranteed viewership if Cinderella takes it to a third game against the #1 team at home. Of course they're gleeful. $$$

 

[vol94]

Body language is bad rt now. Folks @ LNS say dugout has been quiet all day.

 

[Vols919]

Outplayed 10-1 after the first, better pray for tomorrow night.

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

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

This shouldn’t be happening and is what every non-Vol hopes will happen. It tracks.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

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.

Yeah I’ve been to every game. Crowd was fantastic yesterday. I think the 3-0 lead was actually the worst thing, because the crowd immediately sat down, stopped cheering, and were booking their tickets to Omaha and you could tell the team was feeding off that relaxed and lazy feelings as well.

[vols 30]

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

Yes

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Evansville getting too big for their britches now, turning into idiots out there.

What? If I was one of their fans, I would be celebrating like there was no tomorrow.

 

[Ritzwatch]

Ball game. See yall Sunday

Can we just wake up!?!?!?

We have just handed momentum alll their way. Get it under control or we go home tomorrow

Wake up bats!! 9 outs and not good pitching. We got this!!!

7 unanswered runs. Let’s change this!

Welp.. 8 outs

Give the fans something to cheer for!!

Welp. Down to 6 outs

Hard to win games when you have the lead off man on only 2 times in 16 innings

I am just speculating here, but did you miss your morning meds today?

 

[87&91ALUM]

Another error on defense. They are bouncing back and we are in the ditch.

 

[Caz]

Nah. 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.

Unfortunately, I have to agree and just hope somehow this will play out differently

 

[Zues1]

I really really didn’t want to have a game 3 in this series. I’ll be interested to see how this team responds tomorrow because they have looked uninterested today.

Rainy day forecast for Sunday

 

[orange_glory]

Ist time in history a #4 has beat a #1 in Supers

 

[Christian Lowe]

Poor contact hit after poor contact hit

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

This has turned into a circus. Wanting to keep positive, but I’m losing what little I had left.

 

[barney]

Why are we shifted all the way out like that? Short stop and 2b are playing very very poorly
