We got this.

They can’t have many pitching left can they?

They can’t have many pitching left can they?

Do we?

 

[utvolpj]

Do we?

We at least have a legit starter. They burned theirs today

 

[knoxvol52]

Onward and Upward . Go Vols.

Just hope we have a good outing from Zander. Today our pitching wasn’t the best and almost like TBall with everything left out over the plate.

 

[Vol_fan185]

Do we?

We got zander combs and loy. Idk if we try to pitch snead with how they hit off of him

His velocity was way down at the end too

 

[OC VOL FAN]

Still unsettling because we have seemed to do way more damage against thier starters than thier pen so far.

 

[Vol_fan185]

Pretty sure they got their sunday guy still who’s also a freshman

 

[Big Orange#1]

If we can’t rake off of a freshman from Evansville then oh well

 

[Volstylexx]

In before the NEGAs arrive

Nope. They spent their #1, #2, and #3 starters. Spent their #1, 2, 3 relievers also.

 

[lefthander]

His velocity was way down at the end too

Almost like he was hurting. Did not top 93 in his second inning and they tried to get outs with breaking ball and he left all of those up.

Snead has a nasty fast ball but a little contact and it‘s leaving the park.

 

[vol94]

Nope. They spent their #1, #2, and #3 starters. Spent their #1, 2, 3 relievers also.

Were they in a similar situation against ECU?

They have two good starters that they already used. If Friday's pitcher is willing he could maybe pitch a couple of inning, but it's totally not recommended. If he and his parents are okay with it though and I was the Ace's coach, I'd start with that and see what happens.

Our advantage of pitching depth should get us a win.

Rainout changes everything though. 6pm start doesn't leave much wiggle room.

 

[ACvol3]

So why do we let every single first pitch right down the pipe go without swinging?

 

[vol94]

Wrong thread, but FL State better than I realized.

They are one out from Omaha vs. TN (hopefully).

I despise FL. State.

 

[Volstylexx]

Yes with the key exception of they had Harris to come in and close it out. They won't have that luxury tomorrow. The key is to rock the starter. Make him hold true to his ERA and never let up.

Amick sure doesn't

It's just an approach. When you're playing against pitchers who walk a ton of batters you make them earn it. No need gifting them a pitcher's count by swinging and missing at first pitch.

Fortunately their coach has already said he's not risking a guy's future. If you look at their regional against ECU he held pretty true to that. We're not up against a Corbs here.
