The Official #1 Tennessee vs GA Tech Regional Game Thread Sunday June 5th (7PM EST ESPNU)

[volsforever27]

Freaking slider. Ugh

 

[chattavol420]

We can’t hit this fat a$$ to save our lives

 

[Vol8188]

Tennessee in trouble with this GA Tech Pitcher, 7ks already

He's also around 70 pitches. Doubt we see him much longer.

 

[cjbongoinstructor]

He's making it look so effortless that I’m thinking he may pitch tomorrow as well

Tennessee in trouble with this GA Tech Pitcher, 7ks already

His pitch count is at 65; we need to make him work and run him off the mound

 

[vol94]

Vols struggling @ the plate tonight with 7 strikeouts and most of those @ bats aren’t close to making contact.

B of 4th after Ortega stranded @ 2nd. Let’s get three up and three down and see if Russell and co can get something started.

Go Vols!

 

[BigALWiLson]

Im amazed some can make it through a game.

 

[AllThingsTN]

A long way to go y’all.

 

[volsagain]

True but that slider is already broken down by the time you have to make that swing/don’t swing decision.

Of course, I’m not at bat and sitting here at home pacing around my recliner, so maybe they are seeing something I’m not…

They are. This guy just happens to be on tonight. We should have got a couple the first inning.

 

[Aerie Vol]

He will tire. This is the game of his life. He walked 7 in his last couple outings.

 

[volman128]

F me.

This pitcher - lord. He has the book on TN hitters. Get us to chase. And we do.

Arghhh. This dude is a tomato can.

Probably not doing anything until he leaves.

 

[BreatheUT]

Techs pitcher is running on adrenaline and cheese whiz. He's got a 6+ ERA. Well get to him

If we giving the guy 1 or 2 strikes swinging at low sliders that are out of the zone as soon as they leave his hand then he will stick around longer than he should.

 

[TrapVol]

No way we are held scoreless. We’ll get it going at some point. This pitcher can’t win the game all by himself.

 

[Titan05]

That is an elite slider today.

 

[Zues1]

Settle in fans, this big ole boy got his mojo working.

 

[Switch 625]

i would make him throw 3 strikes, i don’t think he can without throwing 4 balls first

This.

 

[peerless98]

DH time

 

[Orangeslice13]

That is an elite slider today.

And we keep chasing junk.

That slider doesn’t look out of the zone out of his hand. He’s pitching well.

 

[Juanita]

….a little behind is good…

But...only if the little behind has big cleavage, right?

 

[chef3531]

Yeah, we've bailed him out. One good inning and he'll fall apart. Beck better do like Gilbert. Make him throw at least two strikes. Gilbert had a good AB, just missed it

 

[Paper_Towel]

He will tire. This is the game of his life. He walked 7 in his last couple outings.

Problem there is blue has to call pitches as balls when they’re actually balls.

 

[Titan05]

And we keep chasing junk.

Far easier said than done. That level is slider is indecipherable from the fastball. Wicked.

 

[volsagain]

We have zero patience at the plate.

Man he's got that slider working. It's there and gone .

 

[ButchPlz]

Bingo bango bongo.
