Ditto!I wish I could hug all of our players and give them a personal THANK YOU.
I'm taking a break for a few days until the drivebys leave. I'm sure the rest of the college baseball world is taking great pleasure in our season ending. Whatever.
I'll be preparing stuff to post here about the upcoming draft and our players.
Until later...
Managing our pitching rotation over the last three days was handled poorly. It cost us in runs and maybe the series. Their coach wasted no pen yesterday, and switched batter by batter today. Played it like a violin. I agree they outplayed us. I said so. They outcoached us too.
Then people would complain about taking out the hot hand. Not saying I disagree. Personally, after twice through the lineup I would have brought in Beam to go at most twice through the lineup. Keep the hitters off balance so they can't time one up.I would not have brought him out for that inning. 60 pitches then Bream or the relievers finish with a 2 run lead. You don't go down with those arms sitting in the dugout, you just don't. If we did this and lost then we fired all of our guns so nothing to be said.
Honestly it's starting to feel like we have a segment of puritans Vol fans who were just waiting for this to happen so they can clutch their pearls at how this team acted.
Look on the bright side, you have Tennessee football to probably let you down somehow soon. And after that probably another good basketball season that will end in a bad matchup in the NCAAT.
