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

Yep 6PM EST Espnu

You read my mind ...

I'm not a fan of ESPNU, maybe they'll change that for some of the fans that don't have the ability to see ESPNU.

 

[chuckiepoo]

No it didn't. Good grief are you always this hormonal?

Yes. Yes he is.

 

[volfever007]

That one was on Frank and pitching. So close. Score 8 runs and lose not acceptable. One more game to make amends. Hope the weather doesn’t get in the way. See y’all tomorrow.

Most all our losses are on Frank, I just don't understand the love for that dude.

 

[JCP201]

Beam was good, but our bullpen was tight and not themselves. Who do they pitch tomorrow? Hopefully Seachrist doesn't let this stress get to him.

 

[THEONLYTENISEE]

UT should have waited after Tennessee reached Omaha to double season tickets.

 

[TheDirector]

Earlier I posted the rule about coaches entering the field of play to challenge a call. It says the coach can't go beyond the foul line closest to their dugout. Anyone know why their coach wasn't ejected when he was challenging the home run?

 

[AthensVol2007]

They can’t have any pitching left. Hope our guys are dialed in.

Their pitching is trash to begin with and they limited us. Almost their entire BP has ERA’s north of 6.5

 

[TheBigOne10]

Who will they pitch tomorrow? Harris?

 

[DazzleVol]

If we can stay locked in all game like the 9th UT will roll

 

[lilesrt]

Terrible game by the Vols today. If we lose tomorrow what a collapse it would be.

 

[BowlBrother85]

Good lord. What a letdown.

 

[Rocky Top T]

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.

The fans show up, but many are just there to socialize

 

[utvolpj]

Let's talk tomorrow after the game.

Won't make your post any more correct. You have zero clue what happens you just want to crap on the team. Freaking stupid

 

[CAVPUT]

They can’t have any pitching left. Hope our guys are dialed in.

Not sure the guys we faced today were considered elite. Outside of Harris, the guys we faced had era's of 6.15, 5.68, 6.32 and 12.93 and that's not SEC competition Evansville face most of the year.

Like me. Stupid idea to use that channel. Rather it be on SECN+.

 

[BreatheUT]

Glad we showed some fight but we let them do too much damage and those last 2 at bats were not very good.

Have to play a complete game tomorrow. None of this BS tomorrow.

The fact there were signs of life at the end with a chance to come back doesn't leave the same bad taste as the beatdown it was looking like in the middle innings.

Don't get me wrong, it was still very discouraging. I am not as confident as I was going into today. They looked like an all star team against our pitching. I think we have a solid starter tomorrow, but we need to figure out when it's time to pull pitchers. Beam stayed in too long.

 

[UTSimSinAZ]

His leadership on the field is important, too, as he keeps everyone calm.

Yeah, it just felt off with him not on the field.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Can Z hold them to <5 tomorrow?

 

[VolPack22]

Showed a lot of fight there in the 9th. Got to think the switch has been flipped back on.

Hopefully it switches for the pitching staff. This lineup has their number now.

 

[vol66]

Ya know, like when you are a kid…you and a friend go to the pool and ya go under water to see who can hold your breath the longest?

That’s how that game felt. Enough blame to go around in this one but as this thread shows, we’re here for it!!!! Not outcome, but that was fun!!! See ya tomorrow!!!

 

[Rocky Top T]

I wish C'mo was more patient, but here we are.

We got ourselves a series and unfortunately I believe Sunday's game was planned to be an ESPN U game, hopefully, that's rectified.

He should have walked, swung at 2 bad pitches. Trying to be the hero.

You would also have to suspect after they got the big lead, they saved their remaining arms. Harris pitched yesterday.

 

[Volstylexx]

Who will they pitch tomorrow? Harris?

My guess would be Kevin Reed 7.38 ERA. Has given up 71 hits and 17 HRs in 57 ip.

weather in the Midwest has been garbage all Spring though - rough on pitchers

Wasn't fun .... too much drama ... yes.
