Tony’s gotta mind his P’s and Q’s the rest of the way. Umps were definitely trying to over assert themselves and make a personal statement to TN. We gotta be silent assassins.

Anderson misses game 1 in Omaha. Gilbert can play on Sunday. This was Anderson's second ejection of the Season which warrants a 3 game suspension.

I know that. I was correcting someone else

 

[Sudden Impact]

This thing with Gilbert started with the hit-by-pitch in the previous at-bat and carried over I am assuming...

Just take the next two Regroup for Omaha...

 

[Tenacjim]

I know. Terrible strike zone all night but ticking them off makes it extra hard to pull the next 2 games out.

Exactly. Every chance to screw us, they will (see “check swing” in bottom of the 9th for strike 3)…

 

[JCP201]

Man o man I’m going to be sitting in the edge of my seat tomorrow. Hopefully Dolly brings his A+ stuff and our bats can get runs early. I don’t want this season, and this team, to be over.

I love this team, and it would be a shame never to see Drew in a VOLS uniform again. What a horrible screwed up game. Nothing went right.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

We’ve played from behind the entire tournament (Alabama St doesn’t count). Really hard to fathom. I would say that I hope these guys can loosen up tomorrow and be themselves, but in a win or go home game I have a bad feeling we’re going to press again and swing at junk.

 

[MAD]

Wish I could still go get my Dad at the airport. Tape the game.

I was picking him up no matter what but loved your comment.

 

[Proud Army Wife]

Gilbert has to learn to control himself better than that and hopefully he’ll learn. He cost the team by getting tossed and taking himself out for tomorrow. That’s a huge bat to be without. It also didn’t work out too well for Frank.

He certainly didn’t help things but shaky pitching in the first 3 innings cost this game.

 

[vol94]

Will the same crew be ****ing us over, I mean calling the game tomorrow?

Same umps but they rotate around the diamond. Home plate ump will be int the field tomorrow.

 

[CAVPUT]

Backs against the wall. No Drew Gilbert. No Frank Anderson.

This team has been livin' on the edge for a while. Tonight they got caught, and it couldn't have come at a worse time. Really disappointed in Gilbert and Anderson. You just can't lose it like that and put your team at such a disadvantage. Might be what ends our season far earlier than anyone expected. Such a shame if it ends up that way.

 

[SoddyAllVol]

Well ****. We got the next two

Anderson misses game 1 in Omaha. Gilbert can play on Sunday. This was Anderson's second ejection of the Season which warrants a 3 game suspension.

I don't think either ejection for Anderson was warranted so I certainly don't think a 3 game suspension is warranted.

 

[Mightyvol]

UT wasn’t going to get the close calls period. The home plate umpire smirked when he told TV to get back in the dugout. He did what he came to do. TN has to forget about this pos ump and just play ball the best they can.

I would love nothing more than to see that team that swept OM, VU, and Mizzou again.

 

[SoddyAllVol]

$hit

 

[bpalmer28]

Backs against the wall. No Drew Gilbert. No Frank Anderson.

Was only a matter of time before this teams attitude caught up to them. Gilbert deserved to get tossed. Idiot.

 

[MAD]

If only anyone has ever come back against Notre Dame in any sport, that would be a “miracle “

 

[BP4Prez]

We had to lose at some point right? Hopefully this is it.

 

[Volstylexx]

Lots of talk on Twitter and online about Norte Dame throwing their ACE tomorrow…. As If our ACE wasn’t lit up tonight. It could go as badly for him tomorrow as it went for ours tonight. He’s 9-2 on the year.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

How hard is it not to drop the f bomb? Say anything else. It was a Terrible call followed by a Terrible decision by Gilbert. I’m surprised this is the first time he’s been tossed.

Also it's a strawman saying people are ok with it. I haven't seen anyone say they are "ok with it"; I've seen people say it's reality that it would happen. That's not saying you agree or think it's right, it's saying if you do A, you will get tossed.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Game time at 2 PM ET .... right? ESPN2 also .... right?

Fortunately we have a guy who is pretty good himself.

Suck it

 

[Mightyvol]

We need to stop swinging at pitches out of the strike zone. My goodness the boys are too anxious to swing at balls that aren't strikes.

With this ump calling balls and strikes, if it is close, they better swing.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Dolly has to work in the bottom of the zone tomorrow. Belt high meatballs won’t work. Come on boys!
