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

It's inevitable. It takes luck to win championships and A&M is getting all the luck.

We sure are helping them

 

[theFallGuy]

Welp

 

[VFL1127]

Hopefully we get another opportunity

 

[Flipdaddy]

Looking like the moment is too big for Tennessee. Too many ducks left on the pond. If we lose 1-0 I’ll be pissed.

How does Stark not know a K or walk is all we need there. Give the best hitter a chance with 2 on. ****** plate appearance AGAIN.

Absolutely. He’s pretty off just swinging for the fences three times and striking out. A CMO double ties the frickin game.

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

Stark just isn’t a hitter.

 

[chuckb1448]

Stark is 0 for everything lately. Killing us

He doesn't have enough Rituals at the Plate

 

[BradstarVols]

How was that lucky?

They've gotten all the breaks all series. Tennessee hasn't had anything go their way one time. A&M has had countless things go their way.

 

[Ritzwatch]

Half the forum: why is he bunting?

Other half: why is he swinging?

SMH.

 

[Vol4lif3]

Please tell me we have a catcher that can freaking hit for next year. Thats pathetic

No lol

 

[ButchPlz]

Tennessee will never win a title in anything in my life.

 

[vol94]

Do the ones criticizing Stark realize he is our best catcher? I agree he’s not giving us anything @ the plate, but nobody else is hitting neither.

Not all of it. We’re getting the bad luck. So, there’s that.

 

[barney]

Can we find a catcher who can both play catcher and hit?

 

[GBO18]

The fact that they let him swing the bat there is coaching malpractice.......

Gotta trust a senior to make smart decisions.

 

[Proud Army Wife]

My god Stark 0 for 16 now... Horrible AB just garbage

Idk why Tony refuses to pinch hit for him.

 

[VolsLFC]

We still get top of lineup next inning

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Why didn’t he just continue to show bunt? Seemed like it was messing with the pitcher. He probably could’ve drew a walk.

Exactly what I was thinking. Guy hasn’t made solid contact with a beach ball in Omaha and that was the best position we’ve been in against a freshman pitcher with a 8+ era.

And we do that.

 

[Voltrapnbama]

Stark just isn’t a hitter.

We know that. 2 outs and I get it. 1 out and you take pitches.. that was a ****** call by Erlander

 

[barney]

we're hanging on by a thread.

how long can this last?

3.5 more innings

 

[Sam I Am]

Srry but starke d isn’t worth it at this point anymore … next at bat if we are behind he better be pinch hit for

Should have pinched hit there!!! Don't ever trust a .208 hitter.

Cal has exactly.....exactly 10 singles all year long !!!!!!!

 

[therealitytheory]

It's the 3rd base coach who gets the call from TV.
Cal is following orders - hello?

 

[Titan05]

Another punch to the dick.

oh come on, anybody else on the team can go out there and get a hit on 16 tries

 

[Vol4lif3]

Tennessee will never win a title in anything in my life.

We got lacrosse lol
