From the D1 weekly chat. Vandy fan sounds salty.


‘Niels Dore: I know Tennessee is really good, but they are out of control with the antics, and it all stems from Tony Vitello at the top. The chippiness, bat flips, running their mouths, daddy hat and fur coat is just over the top and not good for the game. It all came to a head Friday when Vitello bumped the umpire and was ejected. Should Vitello be suspended for more than 4 games? Should the SEC or Tennessee’s AD make a strong statement to bring (and his team) down several notches?
Kendall Rogers: So, here is the thing about Tennessee. I actually love Vitello’s energy. Tennessee desperately needed that. I also have no issue with some of their antics, but you also can’t be mad when another team does it. For instance, when Alabama celebrated, some Vols players took offense to it and complained about it in the media. If you’re going to prance around the bases after a home run (which i’m fine with), you can’t get mad when someone else dishes it back.’

How did Rogers and Fitt respond?

Statement from Rogers is totally fair IMO. But yeah, the rest of the SEC is salty.

It does say in Freak’s description for the baseball forum that this is the place to talk about softball as well.
I vote that you start our own dedicated Tennessee softball thread here.

Thanks. But, there's a whole Softball Forum for those kind of discussions. Feel free to go there. Once in awhile, during a baseball game, I like to give others an update of the LVs score if they're playing on the same day. Not interested in starting a LVs thread here.

Well we may have said a little in the media about Bama’s celebration, but we said a whole lot more with our play on Saturday and Sunday. Skull dragged those inbred MFers.

There is zero accountability and will continue to be zero accountability as far as SEC officials in any sport are concerned.

They are pitiful. Every year I think the football refs are the worst I have ever seen. Then sec basketball starts and they are as bad as the football refs. I guess we can lump this guy in with the others.

Anyone who says it’s bad for the game is a nerd.

As said earlier you need to be able to deal with it. The Vols spoke up and said we need to play better and well they did that Saturday and Sunday like you said.

Wonder what the crowd is going to be like tomorrow? I am a season ticket holder and do not have tickets for tomorrow's game. I think this game was added after the fact.

i have confidence in Joyce but get your point that location is important. Good hitters will crush 102 fastballs down the middle of the plate. Pitching is a lot like real estate....location, location, location.

To add to this, elite velocity is much more effective when location is high in the strike zone. Belt high and lower are easier to get the barrel on( easier being a relative term). High hard stuff is hard to catch up to.
