You're saying it's easy? You were able to lay off those breaking pitches when you were a hitter in the SEC, were you? Ever hear of giving the other team credit. They won those games with terrific pitching. Sometimes a pitching staff gets hot for two games.

The ever go-to, you can only comment or have an opinion if you played at the D-1 level or above angle. Solid. With that said, we might as well close down message boards because there might be 2 people who can have a conversation amongst themselves.

No I won’t give UK pitching a lot of credit, they didn’t pitch all that well, we swung at garbage repeatedly. Trey struck out last night on a ball that literally wound up 12+ inches off the plate, it wasn’t like it had some amazing run on it, it never even started in the zone.

Just repeating what their home boy announcer said about it. I figured he'd know.

Gotta stop blindly listening to people. We all do actually. They had 5 series wins on the year, now 6.

The post said series wins, not SEC series wins.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

That's twice you've posted that. Point?

Ha! I didn’t think it posted the first time. my point was...that sucks!

GBO!!

Chase?

Whoops, uhhh Drew.

DrewChase..., yeah, that's the ticket

 

[cardvolfan]

Dang… this is kinda embarrassing

I’m not embarrassed. I’m disappointed, but these things happen. Kentucky isn’t Iona.

The original quote was “this is only their second series” It didn’t say SEC series. His correction was on point

 

[2EastTnVols]

The first two games felt like the Tennessee Tech game - offense wise. Our guys were chasing pitches again and looking for the HR. Our pitching was good enough to keep us in it. I think our lineup was trying to do too much.

Agree. We need weather like your avi.

Don’t be then, but when the #1 team loses to the last place team, it’s embarrassing to me.

We are now 4-5 in our last 9 SEC games. Need to win this afternoon and win the UGA series to get our momentum back.

 

[youcancallmeAl]

The team has looked like they dont want to be there the whole weekend...there gonna get swept.

If they have your negative attitude, that might happen.

Happens all the time in baseball.

Bottom 7 teams in sec are pretty much grouped together and none of them are bad . Just a little more luck like they've had the last 2 games they would be in the top 7 .

 

[Hallie]

Pitching, defense , dicipline and timely hitting win alot of games if they are put together . We just witnessed that last 2 games ....

Could the silver lining be that we won’t have the “we’ve won every series” monkey on our backs anymore? When we get to the best-of-three Super Regionals, we won’t have the pressure of every media member in college baseball saying we have indeed won every series.

That didn’t help Arkansas last year when they didn’t make it to Omaha.

VU 3B has 3 errors in 3 innings. Bases loaded for Dawgs, no out Candy up 4-1

A fairly prominent Twitter account dedicated to UT baseball tried to say losing this series was like losing to Vandy in football. Not even close.

Losing to them isn't. Losing a series to them is. Being swept by them...well....the only word I can think of is shameful. Our response to this next game and the UGA series will be very interesting to watch. I'll say one thing. We sure as hell need Dickey back. We've been off since he left the lineup. Desperately need Dolly and Tidwell to get their mojo back, too.

He must be related to the Alabama catcher?
