Kinda surprised Jaslove didn't get the start seeing how well he played filling in for Maui early in the season

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Still moving his hand, so that is good

 

[knoxvol52]

I will keep my observation til after the game.I am not a negavol nor am I a sunshine pumper just a baseball fan that loves Tennessee athletics

 

[JCP201]

UGh, can't lose Dickey.

 

[theroyz71]

Did you miss the two run dong?

No I didn't. You knew what I meant. Our defense is terrible.

 

[vol66]

Tough kid right there.

Kendro is clearly the better hitter based on what we’ve seen so far. Just an adjustment moving to short. Doubt he’s practiced much at all

 

[peerless98]

Moore dropping the ball. This team needs to get their collective heads out of their collective asses.

In fairness, Kendro screwed that up as much as Moore, and technically more

 

[SGMVols]

No one has ever gotten in with 12. This team wouldn’t either.

And definitely not with our nonexistent OOC resume. Frankly I won’t feel comfortable about being in unless we get to 14

 

[THEONLYTENISEE]

They're pretty good...

World Series good or just pretty good?

 

[Volstylexx]

You know nothing about me. The only ****ing reason I’m a Tennessee fan at all is because my uncle played baseball for them. Sorry I didn’t complain during raleigh and Serrano’s years because a “good” outcome was simply making the SEC Tournament.

Calm down. It wasn’t a personal attack.

 

[jdogvol]

Good grief. We can't do anything.

Definitely seems like some of the boys have the "yips."

 

[therealitytheory]

C'mon...scoreless FL 3rd...

 

[Jax_Vol]

We kinda play defense like a tall little league team

 

[TheBigOne10]

Man, we just are horrendous defensively. Don’t know how much of it can be “coached out” at this point

 

[Volstylexx]

And definitely not with our nonexistent OOC resume. Frankly I won’t feel comfortable about being in unless we get to 14

14 is the number and I layed out yesterday the path to getting there… assuming we lost 2 of 3 to both FLORIDA, Arky, AND Vandy.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Finally a scoreless inning

Dude you’re generally a good poster. But take a deep breath. It’s all good.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

I would bet right now they're NLCS good, we'll see. But they're really good.

 

[taylorvol]

This can’t be just better scouting reports on Burns. He now has 19 ER on 15 IP in SEC play, which is an 11.4 ERA. How does better scouting reports account for that big of a discrepancy? I wonder if he’s tipping pitches or something this year.

It’s a year of film study, advanced virtual reality simulations, and pitching machines that emulate velocity and spin rate.

Plenty of lackluster play by the Vols to go around - from fielding errors - to base running errors - to watching 3rd strikes go by (x 4 by one Volunteer last night). Not being able to execute fundamentals results in losses.

 

[Jax_Vol]

I would bet right now they're NLCS good, we'll see. But they're really good.

Yes. They are rather stacked.

 

[Volstylexx]

For all those SUPER negative folks.... Got to think at this point, we are looking at 7-11 (SEC) play three weeks from now. That's if we lose the Florida, Arkansas, and Vandy series *but don't get swept. Our schedule then gives us some reprieve.

Then going 6-3 by winning the M. State, Georgia, and KY series would get us to 13-14 (SEC). Win 1 of 3 at SC, and you're right where you need to be for an NCAA tournament bid.

 

[theroyz71]

Not sure he needed to jump there.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Another rocket hit right at them
