That’s what 2 out walks get you. Just completely fell apart on the mound

I knew the piggies losing in regionals wouldn't happen.

 

[TheBigOne10]

That’s okay I want to see Arkansas again.

That’s okay I want to see Arkansas again.

To be the best you gotta beat the best.

But I'd rather have had to beat Neb.

 

[vol66]

It’s an unconventional strategy but it’s worked for about 49 wins, there will be no drastic changes.

 

[TheBigOne10]

That wasn’t even close to a strike

Walks kill. So does an ump calling a tight strike zone because your staff hasn’t shown command all night. Compounding problems and the Hogs took advantage.

 

[vol66]

87 pitches

Seriously throw a strike. Even a big old meatball down the plate. Would probably be better off than they are now.

boo

A 90 pitch "save" for Kopps. Over 180 pitches for the weekend for Kopps. Insane. That seems like coaching malpractice.

 

[VolGee4]

Van Horn is going to kill Kopps.

 

[Hokay]

Well guys, after last night’s game, I had nearly made the decision to pack up the family and head over to Knoxville as a Tennessee fan.

Granted, I’m still rooting for you guys all the way to the finals, but I was graciously given a reason to unpack.

Couple of crazy plays for both our teams. The walk off slam for the Vols to avoid a first-game loss, and the (basically) grand slam for us to avoid elimination.

What a game baseball is.

Go Hogs, and Go Big Orange!

 

[Hokay]

And while normally I would agree with the comments about Kopps 10000%, I don’t think he would have let DVH pull him. Honestly…

 

[vol66]

Nebraska gave it a go.

 

[Hokay]

All that said, if our bats don’t wake up, I imagine you guys will be playing someone else in a couple of weeks. If that happens, I’ll be over here cheering you on.

Had no idea his number was that high. That’s questionable at best from a coaching standpoint…

I agree with you on that, absolutely.

Just as you had faith in our guys on Friday, I knew your guys would come back, too. That’s what your team does. Darn good.

Hunley threw I think like 110 and Vitello even mentioned he didn't originally plan to throw Hunley on Sunday night. 180+ pitches in 4 days is.....wild.

 

[BallerVolFan]

Idk about you guys, but in about 20 minutes I’ll be rooting hard for the Oregon Ducks.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

So we play the LSU/Oregon winner?

 

[Aerie Vol]

That's why Kopps is simply the best. But I had no idea he could ride that far in the game. I thought 5 innings max.

At this point, Van Horn is just hoping he hasn't broken his clydesdale, because he's either riding that thing to a title or riding him straight into the ground and an epic collapse. Only two ways this ends. He goes the whole way being lights out, or his arm breaks down and it results in like an epic 6-7 run meltdown inning in crunch time.
