The Official #1 Tennessee @ Texas A&M National Championship Game 2 Thread (Sun. June 23 2PM EST) (ABC)

Get this ump out of here

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

I thought we were told we can't b**** about the strike zone

 

[djwes]

Regardless of what we think of the umpires, the Vols stared at too many pitches that were right down the plate that should’ve at least been base hits last night.

 

[87&91ALUM]

cmon offense! Need many runs now!

 

[Christian Lowe]

Are we sure frank calls pitches? I thought I read somewhere that stark calls pitches

Stark may, but at the college level it’s incredibly rare for the catcher to call the game himself. That’s a pro ball thing only nowadays

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

We should get the overhead view all the time. That was a ball, but it looked good from our angle

It was a ball, but you cant also call it for A&M like they did all day yesterday and already today

 

[ButchPlz]

These announcers are so dumb

I wonder why it's so hard for the NCAA and TV networks to just not provide a straight dogshit product.

 

[Volfan2012]

Vitello may get thrown out of this game and I don't blame him. We better get those close calls as balls as well. There were more than that one pitch that were questionable.

Do you work for ESPN?

 

[utVolFanInVA]

Why do you guys keep trashing Amick? You know he’s going to get a big MLB contract?

That's based on potential. If his plate approach does not improve, he will be out of baseball in less than 12 months.

 

[Sam I Am]

Odds CTV gets tossed today?

He better not. His boss will be pissed!!!

 

[firestorm]

Feeling hopeful if the pitching can improve and offense is fruitful for scoring.

 

[Vol737]

Tony is going to get tossed.

To an extent, I don't mind if the strike zone is constantly changing. If I know I'm gonna get tossed, I'll go hard at the plate umpire about how terrible he is at his job, then say things about his momma!

I bet I know. $$$$

Agreed, however he gave AM the outside pitch.
Tony ain't the only one heated about the zone

 

[VolsSportsFan]

No job in the world can you be as bad as umpires and keep your job.

Basketball officials would like a word *cough* TV TEDDY *cough*

 

[volbound1700]

Their pitching is giving us issues.

 

[Putbacks]

Let’s see if the strike shrinks this half for their pitcher….

 

[TAF]

VOLS by a MILLION!

 

[barney]

Teams are getting different zones like they are trying to give a&m a more generous zone for our lineup

 

[Score50]

Gets old listening to you guys crying about the friggin strike zone. Let Tony V do that and you girls just watch the friggin game. It will even out as we play the game. We have to somehow adjust and hit and catch the friggin ball.

 

[LordVOLdemort]

1 hit, unfortunately it was a dong. Otherwise, Drew loooks good

 

[BreatheUT]

When a team is underperforming or struggling then you see the type of frustration you are seeing from our dugout. Beam threw one bad pitch but it hurt us and A&M jumps out 1.

 

[vol94]

Please keep posting as I’m dealing w the HVAC tech as one of our units is on Fritz.

I saw Tony get a warning. But what happened just now? I thought I heard say something about Tony getting mad at Blue, again?
