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

[barney]

Quit swinging for the fences

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

At least Ensley gets contact

 

[Volnbeers]

Tennessee athletics only exist to disappoint.

 

[Gandalf]

Sigh, 1-2-3 out again

 

[LLcoolDave]

UT has 25 strikeouts.

embarrassing for being the top offense in the nation

 

[VolFanGBO]

Doesnt mean our offense sucks, that’s a boneheaded statement

I didn’t mean overall, but it’s been terrible today so far… hope we do something

 

[BradstarVols]

How did we score 7 runs against them in the sec tournament I don’t understand

Execution with runners in scoring position

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

I guess they gonna ride this guy as long as they have the lead?

We have got to break through and get a lead. Otherwise we probably see Aschenbeck in the 8th or 9th and its ball game

 

[Purplehaze26]

We can't hit em

 

[vol66]

Hold em down Drew, their guy is + 80… Legoooooooooooooo!!!!

 

[BP4Prez]

Just a reminder - we are only down 1.

Hitting is a major concern, but we’ve just about run their main guy out of gas.

That’s the best inning he has had. They will run him as long as needed. Will follow him up with the guy from last night.

But as you said, only one run game. Need to keep it there.

 

[Volfan2012]

Guess the hope is we can keep shutting them down looks like if they score two or three more were in serious trouble. Beam probably back out there would think this could be his last inning.

 

[vader]

Damnit. Thought he hit it better than that

Looked good coming off the bat

 

[Zues1]

Ags been nursing that one run for 2 hours.

 

[Caz]

This pitcher sucks but he keeps striking us out

Barney this pitcher does not suck. He has wicked stuff

 

[Volfan39]

The most amazing thing to me is the teams lack of approach. Refusing to swing at the balls down the middle and swinging at the stuff out of the zone

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

We've had this guy in trouble so many times. The issue is that we have nothing to show for it. A single run would run this guy out the game because his pitches are unreliable.

He’s been pretty darn reliable today

 

[supersmo18]

I have season tickets lol

Then I guess youve slept thru the fact that we’ve scored more runs than any team we’ve ever put out there. You’re acting like we see 100+ mph pitches all the time.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Gonna have 3 AB's to get something done

 

[BigALWiLson]

This dude has major league stuff , you guys act like we see 101 on a daily basis

Every team in the SEC has a guy who throws hard. Bat speed is there. Not sure why they are not pulling the string and sitting on a fastball

 

[Go47]

We could lose this game 1-0 . . . Which would have been unthinkable before today. Shocking choke thus far.

But their pitching is very good. VERY good.

 

[NOLAPhil]

So far we look like a checkers team playing a chess tournament

 

[patrick]

Gotta do something to get encouragement. Just not delivering these past 2 days

Man I’m trying to stay positive but it’s getting harder. And when TV says his guys are seeing the ball well - I immediately thought that is one of the few times I have heard TV use coach speak. That did not encourage me at all.

 

[VOLinAL]

If you don’t come close to hitting this guy they will just keep trotting him out there. He’s still throwing gas and we can’t hit him. Elite arms can make any line up look bad.

 

[djohnnyg]

Vols bats are awesome against not good pitching....but can't hit sh*t vs a good/ great pitcher.
