7

wut?

 

[taylorvol]

I wonder if the Vols players ever read these threads after the games played.

Gosh. I hope not and I certainly hope recruits don’t.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Another double for UK. Seems like a ton of them this weekend

 

[vol94]

They don’t. But they have dudes who throw off speed which we don’t hit well.

I’m @ the point to just get out of KY soon as possible and then regroup for Tues and weekend series w UGA @ LNS.

The UGA series will lets us know if we should be concerned as we edge towards the last two weeks of regular season.

GO VOLS!

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Is this a six inning game?

7 innings today.

 

[Vtonerider]

If anything, this series has exposed the bandwagon crew

 

[Bigorange123]

7 innings or bust

Due to SEC rules, Saturday's second game will be a seven-inning game.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Another double for UK. Seems like a ton of them this weekend

I would say ..... tons & tons.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

I would say ..... tons & tons.

I feel like it's been like 7 or 8

 

[vol94]

This is their best guy. Their Thursday and Friday guys were "TBA". This is the only one they scheduled in advance.

Thanks!

How did they turn into a double? Must have rolled to the wall, dang. One out. Cats have men on base every inning.

 

[Jax_Vol]

7 innings today.

Six innings today and one inning tomorrow?

 

[TheBigOne10]

They’ll remember what we do in June

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

I feel like it's been like 7 or 8

Too many regardless.

 

[MAD]

It’s Tennessee beating Tennessee and less about anything Kentucky has done.
We will be alright, better now than in the postseason.

 

[vol94]

Two down. Purposely threw a one hop to 1st?

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Six innings today and one inning tomorrow?

Yep .... that's the plan.

That's the name of my Appalachian techno rap group

I'm hoping none of this is true

1- our young arms get tired or figured out by opposition late in the season
2- sliders to our batters become such a norm that Knox County passes an ordinance that you no longer can serve them up at local restaurants
3- the ballpark fence at Hoover looks like it's a mile away
4- teams attempt to steal on us so much that the fur coat goes missing

Getting exposed hurts
It will be interesting to see what Coach TV does to try to snap them out of this bit o funk before tourney time

1- It's impossible to be "exposed" by 3 games after you've already played 47 and won 41 one them.
2- Harder than you think to execute a game full of sliders. Good teams will adjust.
3 - Who cares what happens at Hoover. Mississippi State went 0-2 in Hoover last year. We RUN-RULED them actually... they then won the national championship
4- Our pitching leads the nation in ERA. Our offense is top 2. Baseball is a law of averages. Let them run on us. Stats say they aren't getting many on base, and even if they do, we still can outscore them.

 

[CAVPUT]

They don’t. But they have dudes who throw off speed which we don’t hit well.

Yep. Scout is out on us now. Until we prove we can hit 'em, we'll see a lot of 'em going forward.

 

[taylorvol]

So can our pitchers not hold runners on or is Evan's arm that weak?

Holding runners hasn’t been a focus by CFA. He prefers his pitchers focus on the hitters. Evan has a strong arm. Pitchers are often granting them a running lead.

 

[TheBigOne10]

This is good for me as a fan too, it’s good to be humbled every now and then. It’s what makes baseball the most beautiful game.

 

[Bigorange123]

How rude.

 

[taylorvol]

If anything, this series has exposed the bandwagon crew

Lol. So true! Well played!!!

 

[vol94]

I forgot this is only a 7 inking game. Our Vols better get it going to prevent the brooms.


Walked batter so Ky with two on, 2 outs.
1-1 still. Bottom 4th.

Meeting at the mound. Pull him?

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

We've got 3 more innings to end this thing unless we go into overtime (free baseball)
