LOL ... were you thinking this was Friday? Hello ... can you hear me now?

Just wasn't thinkin, I guess. Been doing stuff around the house while enjoying the game. (Had to work out and take a cold shower after Juanita's revelation.)

Goodnight, VFLs!

 

[Sam I Am]

The need to hurry up and win.....

I'm getting paroled in the morning.

 

[AllVolinGA]

Good k for out 1.

 

[Drewbydoo]

You keep the go ahead runner close.

It was the bottom of the 9th inning and two outs.

 

[WestTennesseeVol]

Whoever's drinking Kentucky bourbon needs to put it down in favor of some Tennessee whiskey. Change our luck!

Don’t look at me, drinking Scotch tonight, got some Tennessee whiskey on deck for tomorrow and Saturday (weather dependent)

Going to the dentist is more enjoyable than watching these guys watch balls go down the middle of the strike zone

I'm telling everyone it's to quiet the PED twitter crowd. We're trying to make ourselves look human

 

[volz2wallz]

Hey @Juanita we are over here

 

[AllVolinGA]

K for the 2nd out.

 

[Orange931]

Please let us get outta this ugly bs with a win

 

[LordVOLdemort]

[TheBigOne10]

If our hitters had half the heart of Walsh tonight we would be up a bakers dozen

 

[PYSCHO]

Just can’t make any contact tonight. Never seen anything like it this yr. I know it’s baseball so let’s get it out of our system. Amazing that a pauper can go 0-6 and then just turn it on two games later.

not trying to make contact.

We lost tonight and my son had 2 errors that might have sealed the deal. He was crying when we walked off the field. I said, honey, this is baseball. You gotta put it behind you and come back for more. You’ve won way more for your team then you’ll ever lose, but you will lose.

He needs to come play for our team, he’ll get used to losing. My son’s looking forward to the first win. I refuse to concede that it’s due to coaching….

It was the bottom of the 9th inning and two outs. ANY run ends the game. A strike out ends the inning. Pitchers in that situation aren't worried about a runner advancing, They just aren't because they are literally just 3 pitches away from the inning to be over. Whether there is one person or 3 people on the bases, at the bottom of the last inning, the ONLY thing that matters is getting the guy to get out and to avoid as much entropy as possible, that's going to come by strikeout

You are entitled to a wrong opinion.

 

[Zues1]

Boy this blow hard loves dropping names

 

[VolPack22]

Wonder what the record for strikeouts in an SEC game is? So far both teams have combined for 27.

To your point. You damn sure don’t want a man in scoring position. WTF

Nope, I know baseball. but whatever

 

[TennVols12]

Nope, I know baseball. but whatever

I’m skeptical

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Announcer says .... a gapper here will win it .... no **** Sherlock.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

It’s not “pitching” over to first. It’s a pickoff move. It’s designed to keep the runner close so he doesn’t steal 2nd, get in scoring position, then score on a single, which would lose the game at this point.

That said, I sure wish our coach knew as much about baseball as you do. We’d never lose!

We’ve been the most dominant team in the league all season and have 4 losses. I think CTV has earned the right to experiment a little, against a team that we SHOULD beat.
May not be our night, we’ll bounce back and take the next 2. And that’s IF we even lose this one.
GBO!!

Ooof, that’s tough. We have a bunch of young players this year. It’s not been one of my favorites. And there’s only so much you can say to get them to play, especially with these younger generations of iPads and indoor kids.
