The Official #1 Tennessee @ Kentucky Thur-Sat Game Thread (Thur. 7PM EST SEC NETWORK) (Fri. 6:30PM EST SEC NETWORK+) (Sat. 2PM EST SEC NETWORK +)

These weekends happen. Let’s hope we salvage this game.

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

I agree for the most part but ky has made some amazing catches . We've been a bit unlucky also.

They’ll remember what we do in June

I like and appreciate the positivity and it's absolutely correct. When we think about the basketball Vols that spent 5 weeks at #1 a few years ago, how many of us remember that they won 36 games?? No one without using google. What we remember is the misery of March. None of the beauty of the last 3 months matters come June.

I am of the opinion that they put a boatload of weed into our Kentucky Fried Chicken on Wednesday night.

 

[AllThingsTN]

Let’s just hope we avoid the rain in post season lol.

 

[Volprofch05]

Haha, oops!

 

[vol66]

Will take

Thrasher thrashed

 

[CAVPUT]

How rude.

What annoys me most is the SECN seemingly stubborn refusal to put the #1 team on their network. Instead we get softball....no offense to the ladies.

 

[imw8n4u]

Finally some good karma our way.

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

Well, that was enjoyable.

 

[Volprofch05]

Our base-running and inability to keep other teams from running IS glaring. Nothing brutal about pointing that out. And they've complemented the he'll out of us.
They're definitely a cut above Andy working UT games solo.

That’s fair

 

[spyfish007]

What is that announcer smoking. Luc had a good jump on it.

Kentucky Fried Skunk

 

[taylorvol]

LOL. Haven’t seen that since LL. Finally caught a huge break!

 

[therealitytheory]

As Yogi would say, it's gettin' late early.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

So unlucky for the Cats right there .... not.

 

[txbo]

That’s the turning point boys.
Curse broken.

 

[Halph66]

Ball finally bounced the Vols way.

 

[Jax_Vol]

YEEESSSS!!!!!!!

 

[volsagain]

Will take

Maybe our luck is changing

 

[Halph66]

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

I hope not.

 

[CAVPUT]

For those of us unable to watch what happened?

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

That’s the turning point boys.
Curse broken.

That was all we needed to clear us to go ahead & end this w/a win.

To you baseball coaches and/or gurus, what’s up w Beck? Is it pitch guessing incorrectly? Overthinking too much? Just missing?

I think the reason you aren't getting any comments on this very good question is because any quality answer would be long and even then, it would be speculation.

Look at the hitting this weekend when it's raining; it's been rough for both teams.

Because batting is already sooo difficult, just playing on the road impacts players because you're sleeping and eating in a different place. You're not sleeping as well etc. Coach Vitello has commented on that because he thinks what they eat and how good their sleep is, is very important and even he can't explain their road success prior to this series - he was asked about that at a press conference in the past week or so.

That's just one aspect. It could be one or several reasons out of many reasons. I could expand on those quite a bit, but it would be a ramble.
