How is that on Vitello?! It’s all up to the player to protect, especially with 2 strikes. They need to shorten up, not try to do too much and just put the ball in play in those situations.

It's not up to the players to make that decision. Earilier in the year Tenn benefitted GREATLY by being patient to get walks so that Beck et all could bomb a HR. Tnen repeat. The number of runs Tenn generates by taking pitches was mandated by vitello. For players, you either hit the way the coach wants or you won't get at bats.

In this situation, Vitello needed to give his guys the green light to swing because of what happened earlier. The ump isn't going to cut Tenn any breaks this game because Russel letting the ump get hit in the face with 102 mph fast ball.

Watch the ump and how he touches UGA catcher now compared to how he interacts with Russell.

I know this. UGA coach knows this. Russel knows this. Vitello knows this, but vitello refuses to change. Because of that Tenn is going to get a much bigger strike zone and not get marginal calls that UGA will get.

So what vitello should do is tell his guys to get real aggressive and swing away.

Tell Russell to accidentally miss a gonad high pitch….at least the tone of the strike call will change if nothing else!

Interesting that you have formed an opinion that our players don’t have green light to swing with 2 strikes on them.
