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

[dh24]

Mabry was outstanding tonight.

 

[patrick]

I know it’s baseball but I’m surprised how we’ve struggled at the plate since Tech’s ERA avg over 5 per game.

Been chasing pitches all night.

 

[Weezer]

Poor plate discipline against Tech's starting pitcher is what has hurt us the most, IMO.


Lawson's error is a close second.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Redmond is going to the mound for Maybrey.

 

[tbones0711]

Pressure just turned up a notch.

Pressure can bust a steel pipe and do heavy damage to a human body. It's double-elimination no matter how this game turns out. UT hitters need to be more patient and make GT's pitchers work more because that's their weakest link.

 

[VolMarine1371]

Who said GT can't pitch?

Well their overall ERA seems pretty clear cut. But tonight they are the exception.

 

[LieutenantNeyland]

I’m so tired of scrub pitchers with over 7 era looking untouchable against us. Reminds me of the backup QB or any wide receiver becoming an all American playing us .

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Who said GT can't pitch?

They can't... They've proved it all season. One of the absolute worst team ERA in all of college baseball

 

[fryeguy93]

ND 3 outs away from region title

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Everyone seems so tense tonight. They aren't playing loose.

Pressure is all on Vols, playing at home and losing going into 9th

 

[RikidyBones]

Poor plate discipline against Tech's starting pitcher is what has hurt us the most, IMO.


Lawson's error is a close second.

Either one doesn't happen and we are ahead. Imo. Both equal to me.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Maybe it's a "Tech" thing?

Tennessee Tech, now Georgia Tech....

 

[Halph66]

Man my ignore button is getting a work out tonight.

 

[chef3531]

It ain't over yet

 

[BreatheUT]

Man, why pinch run if you don't steal to eliminate the DP?

It didn't seem we worked the pitcher long enough after that to give run opportunities.

 

[peerless98]

That ball was going nowhere with that cut from Lawson. Better off striking out.

with lead runner on with no outs in the 8th down 1, I would always try to manufacture a run with steals, bunts, or whatever it takes. Christian should have swiped 2nd. Why use him as a pinch runner otherwise?

 

[Volstylexx]

Who said GT can't pitch?

The stats don’t lie… but tonight is an example of both the beauty and horror of post season baseball.

 

[Volsurance]

If we lose tonight are we completely out of the tournament?

 

[Vol737]

Who said GT can't pitch?

They’ve done a pretty good job of making us chase junk at the wrong time.

 

[RAVOL]

Hit and run with 2 strikes?, some of you are comically showing that you know absolutely nothing about the game of baseball

I know quite a bit. The guy is not striking no one out but inducing ground balls so yes . You don't play everything by book. In CHRIST Alone

 

[feathersax]

The faith is going south right now.

Not mine.

 

[RikidyBones]

If we lose tonight are we completely out of the tournament?

No. We play tomorrow

 

[gnm53108]

That’s 2.

 

[Volstylexx]

Alright. It’s time to show who we are.

 

[lilesrt]

Is Jordan Beck a 1st round pick on potential? I don’t see it. He struggles.
