The Official #5 Tennessee @ Texas A&M Weekend Series Thread (Game 1 Saturday @ 3PM) (Game 2 Saturday @ 5PM) (Game 3 Sunday @ 1PM)

[vol94]

Announcer just gave a summation that helped me understand more about this team.

We have overachieved based on skill level but won the close games.

Well that was a quick three. I’m getting a bit nervous.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Awful inning there

 

[BreatheUT]

Got A&M looking like Top 6 in the league.

 

[cwbytruckers]

Sick and tired of him striking out looking so many times. Swing the damn bat

 

[txbo]

Our All American won’t swing his bat.

 

[AthensVol2007]

Has anyone told Max the object is to swing? Stood there and watched 6 straight pitches go. Scouts have to be questioning themselves in their preseason projections; if you can’t hit SEC pitchers you’re not hitting professional hitting.

John Wilkerson just said we have one hour left that they will not start a new inning after 3pm because of UT's travel restrictions...half the team leave after the game for hour and half bus ride to Houston to catch a flight..other half waits on another flight...we need to get the lead

 

[Bigun]

Have a bad habit of making long relievers look like Nolan Ryan.

John Wilkerson just said we have one hour left that they will not start a new inning after 3pm because of UT's travel restrictions...half the team leave after the game for hour and half to Houston other half waits on another flight...we need to get the lead

This doesn’t make any sense.

 

[therealitytheory]

For those on here who know the roster well, is our pitching an issue or is this wkend a fluke?
I know it’s baseball but.... love to hear about our overall pitching. Thanks

Dallas is our rock. Other than that, there's been nicks and scratches on everybody. BP- wise, Walsh lost his closer roll to Hunley, who lost it to to Kirby, who hasn't been getting it done of late. Heflin is so-so. Sewell would be my choice to take over for Blade.

He hurts us batting after Liam by not hitting or moving him over...either drop him down the lineup or give someone else his ABs

Sounds like a silly "rule"

 

[volz2wallz]

This doesn’t make any sense.

Just what he said idk...something about travel restrictions and hour and half bus ride for half the team at a time to Houston to catch commercial flights

If we get the lead in the 7th or 8th, we would be better off to slow play the thing. Youth coaches do it all the time.

No just UT being UT.

 

[peerless98]

Whew, I thought that was gone

I'd make them walk back to Knoxville after this BS game.

 

[therealitytheory]

We've got 52 minutes and Hunley is taking his sweet damn time....

 

[vol66]

Rucker, Gilbert, Russell due up

 

[OldTimer]

That’s 5 EST

4pm central. Wilkerson is wrong.

 

[NorCalVol67]

Rucker, Gilbert, Russell due up

There is some dueage in there.

 

[NorCalVol67]

Okay, so I am not crazy. That is what I thought.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Double!

 

[87&91ALUM]

Ruckkkkkkeeeerrrrrr
