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

[Drewbydoo]

can't believe this ass whoopin is happening in our house

See me after the game.

 

[Dougie_D]

I don’t follow too much of this team but I can definitely tell something is up with the squad today

 

[vol94]

Zander, Loy, Combs, Phillips (probably in that order)
ACES = lots of guys with a 10+ ERA

One would think their bats would be quieter, tomorrow.

But it wouldn’t shock me if they have a repeat performance and then stink up the joint in Omaha to level the averages.

Surely our talent will take over tomorrow as there isn’t one excuse to lose this series. Baseball
Or not! Just my $.02 which isn’t worth much.

 

[Ritzwatch]

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

In how many games?

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

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.

Wish I’d known, would have liked to shake the hand of the MookieMonster. Was there for the regionals and made a note to send you a message when we got to Supers and the day got away from me yesterday.

 

[vols 30]

Really? When’s the last time they put together back to back 10 run games? What makes you confident in that?

They have no problem scoring runs this series. UT will.have to win a slug fest

 

[volplaya8]

All their runs in 3 innings…

 

[Orange931]

We have seen this before!

We’ve gotten 11 in one inning this year. Doesn’t happen very often, but it CAN happen.

 

[barney]

Don't think so. We got outhit. I think their coach actually committed some pretty bad, inexperienced offenses today that will kill them tomorrow, but hey, it's beisball so we will have to wait and see.

Well he was in a must win situation. Vitello's decision making with the bullpen is not without fault

 

[sechamp2012]

Here we go again.

I don’t recall a game this yr where we can’t get off the damn field.

A lot of seeing eye singles & Texas leaguer hits. it’s just their day
Hit a foul ball that blew 15 feet to the right for a homer. Seems to be in the cards for a rubber match

 

[patrick]

Oy vey.

Probably should have stayed home.

 

[volplaya8]

When is the last time we’ve given up 14 hits to an SEC team? Sheesh.

I know for sure that first game against UGA we got pounded…

 

[theroyz71]

Why Chapman and not Bargo?

 

[vol94]

When was the last time Peeble was PH or DH?

 

[BreatheUT]

If I was an Evansville fan, I'd think it looks like the Purple Aces could close this out tomorrow. That's how these two teams look.

 

[volplaya8]

Get 2-3 this inning and we are in business…

 

[vol94]

Not even close to making contact. 0-5?

 

[VOLINVONORE]

One of or hitting problems may be we, are swinging for the fences every abate. The results are we either win by a bunch or lose by a bunch. Swinging for the fences usually doesn't work against junk pitchers.

 

[theroyz71]

I would not have hit Chapman there.

 

[floridavol25]

Shocking Chapman strikes out

 

[Volstylexx]

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.

If the pitching depths were similar tomorrow could be a long day. They aren't, so I just don't see it happening.

 

[Zues1]

Just wow

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

Just zero energy since the 2nd inning. Killing me

 

[Caz]

Shocking Chapman strikes out

At least Chapman is consistent

 

[Switch 625]

Our batters are swinging at balls way out of the zone.
