The Official #1 Tennessee @ Vandy SEC Tourney Semi-Final Game Thread (Sat. May 25 4:30PM EST SEC NETWORK)

Honestly, I just didn't see a season like this coming. To say they've exceeded my wildest expectations is an understatement.

We have heard that from you.

 

[VolPack22]

Go back and read it again. Quite honestly, I’m totally fatigued with you now.

 

[CDB]

I have to give it to CTV for sticking with his plan. Took big cojoñes. I would not have been able to do it. That’s why he is in the dugout and I’m watching on TV.

 

[Vol4gzus]

Well, they weren’t too careful with Zander after getting HIM hot last night!

Lot will probably start and hopefully get through the lineup once. After that, we’ll see. They won’t burn anyone out but I imagine once you’re in the Championship game, you go for the win. May see (like tonight) where people have to work out of their own jams.

Keep Abraham away from Lot(y) so he doesn't get scorched.
Is tomorrow a bullpen game most likely to you intelligent diamond prognosticators?

I read it fine the first time. Fatigued? After two posts? Ok then.

It sends a message that your coach has confidence in his players

Yep. Guys like Behnke, Loy, Phillips and Dallas just need experience on stages just like this. They'll be mainstays next year and you never know what an outing like tonight will do for Phillips psyche. One or two of those kids find the switch and their lights come on with Russell returning and it's an absolutely huge development heading into the NCAAT.

Not seeing championship caliber strategy, process or methodical close outs in the Mississippi State or the Vandy games, they were wins, but the blown leads, walks, passed balls, and pitching failures won't work in the Super Regional or the College World Series, not sure where Amic's barrells have gone, but he hasn't had a hit in the SEC tournament.

These tournament games do matter, they set the intensity or lack thereof as you start the road to the College World Series.

Um.. we are in the SEC finals. Edit: AND number one team in the country.

@frank is undefeated.

Mr. Phillips, Bravo! You’ll never forget that one! It’s just the beginning many chapters to write still. Way to go!

 

[volplaya8]

It’s a forum intended for supporting our BaseVols, no matter your opinion. There are several on here that are not supporting. Either jump on the train or fall off. I don’t really care.

Do you think people should be allowed to voice disapproval as long as they don’t cuss...call people names etc and not be banned or some other kind of punishment

 

[volsagain]

I’m not complaining. Just correcting an incorrect number.

We'll get there !

 

[2EastTnVols]

“Not seeing championship caliber strategy” yet this team is literally in the championship. Some of yall so damn foolish.

Also, it’s AMICK. Check ya facts.

He can't spell barrels either

 

[BowlBrother85]

I'm proud of the way the guys played their way through the loser's bracket after such a bad start vs Vandy on Wednesday ... Great win today.

I don’t make the rules. Old Timer has the rules posted on the home page. I’m just tired of seeing people complaining about coaching decisions and diminishing players whenever we have been the best baseball program in the country over the past few years. Makes my blood boil.

 

[chuckiepoo]

Announcers said Johnson will not be allowed to coach tomorrow. From the dugout anyway

No contact and not allowed at venue.

No im talking on VN in general…not in baseball forums….Im not talking about in here at all…elsewhere…

 

[ChattownVFL]

LSU fans absolutely despise Vols baseball ever since Vitello turned them down. I’m convinced they take time out of their day to just sit and think about how much they hate us

 

[vol66]

Every forum has guidelines.

 

[drvenner]

He worked out of it.

Working out of it will be tremendously helpful to him in the long run. Tony might actually know that he is doing.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Imagine being Dylan Loy, Matthew Dallas, and JJ Garcia where you’ve barely pitched this year and now it’s on you 3 to win an SEC title. Talk about trial by fire lol.

 

[JCP201]

I know when we get to regionals, I'll be glad to play a team that isn't in the SEC.

 

[TechnoVol]

Love it!

I love it! Exactly what all 3 need!

I wonder who LSU has left? They did get a day off, but they just played 10 innings, too.
