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 +)

Holding runners has been an issue all year. That's cost us and will continue to do so. With Tony V and Anderson, if it could be fixed, it would have been by now.

I think you're right. We have to remember that our starts are two freshmen and a sophomore. Decreasing your time to the plate and maintain your pitching effectiveness isn't learned over the summer between HS and college. I think it's a cost of having very talented but very young pitching. It also doesn't help that we have a catcher with very little experience throwing people out.
 
Auburn is up 5-3 Top of the 9th

Maltese Falcon is a great movie. Hope you and your wife enjoy the night!
We’ve been watching a lot of classic movies lately as new movies are getting boring. My wife reads a lot and is really into the old books and she has turned me onto the old movies.
Thanks gal, you have a great night as well!
GBO!!
 
In newbie terms: TN only needs to win one of its remaining series and not get swept in the other and we’re champions. That’s if Arkansas goes 8-0. They won’t. One more loss by the hogs and Vols will be SEC champs even if lose both series (as long as they’re not sweeps). Get the champagne ready. We’re close!!

Thanks Cobb!

I think it’s wonderful that your wife loves old books and movies, and that she’s gotten you into them. I feel the same way about the oldies (both movies and books). My parents got me into them at a young age. Many great ones - they don’t make them like they used to.

By the way, Auburn evened the series with Arkansas 5-3.
 
Magic number is now THREE!
So for those who don't understand the Magic:

Vols are currently 4.5 games ahead of Ark (will be 5 if ark loses tomorrow, 4 if they win) and both teams will play 6 more games after tomorrow. To gain a game Ark has to win AND have us lose. They need to do that scenario 4 times out of the 6 just to tie us (or 5 out of 6 if they lose tomorrow.)

So, every win we have is a wasted opportunity for them to work that "gain a game" scenario. Every loss they have is also a wasted opportunity. Were we to win three games out of our 6, it would be impossible for them to tie. Same if they lose 3 and waste more than two opportunities, since they have to have at least 4 out of 6.

That 3 is the magic number. Any combination of us winning or them losing adding up to 3 means it's mathematically impossible for us not to be champions.

See? Magic.

Wait so it isn’t like basketball????
 
ARky has 7 games left, and we have 6 (conference). That's a total of thirteen chances for Arky losses or Tennessee wins. Any combination of three losses by them or wins by us gives us the pennant. Gotta like our chances. :cool: Also means we can win the pennant this coming weekend at home.
Can’t wait to get back to LNS on Thursday night! GBO!

Our house is like a library! Mystery to sci-fi to horror to classic lit to kids books...
We have it all and am really glad that my wife and kids love to read. I did at a young age but somewhere along the way, I lost interest.
One day I’ll crack open some of the classics and start again.
😉
GBO!!
