I noticed that also. He’d be better served to stare at himself in the mirror

Yassss

Go try to hit a 95+mph fastball with movement and then try to go hit an 85+mph slider that looks like the previous fastball and breaks away from your bat at the last second. And after that try to go hit a 75+mph change up that looks like the previous two pitches out of the hand and drops off below your bat at the last second and get back to us.

People do it everyday tough guy. Wise up

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Swing. The. Bat.

 

[hog88]

Denton that was on you!

 

[volforlife15]

Am genuinely interested in knowing why they feel that way or if it is indeed just being mad that we’re losing. We tend to throw around phrases like that all the time in sports but I’ve rarely seen a game (in any sport) where it looked like TN really didn’t care (SC. Football last year maybe SIGH).

I definitely think it’s anger lol but also I absolutely think it’s just an easy buzzword to use. They have no actual substantive information and saying someone doesn’t care or doesn’t show effort hides the lack of knowledge of the sport

I’m asking you to do it. Big difference tough guy.

 

[knoxvol52]

Far from it. I’m a proud Braves fan, but most of all a baseball fan in general. My favorite sport in the world.

Good myself also grew up on baseball longtime Dodger fan all my male family members for years are Dodger fans don't know why but we are

 

[Volstylexx]

Half the drive bys have already left the thread which tells you they aren’t even watching anymore. Tells you all you need to know about their fandom. The rest of us are still here. Still watching. Still proud of this team.

Just saying

Tell me honestly who on this team tonight has shown effort or a desire to beat Florida

We are not being paid or getting a free education to be baseball players. Agree comments kinda low but, hey, Tennessee play kinda at a low place right now. Cmon Vols!

 

[vol_smoothie]

If he didn’t do anything, you’d say he didn’t care. They do it after every double. It’s not showing anyone up

Is that "Hands Across the Face" gesture we do after hitting a double a reference to Kevin Costner's same gesture from Bull Durham
when he predicts a lead-off home run in the dugout and then hits one over the left field wall ?

 

[volforlife15]

Well because you asked. Jenkins, Lindsey, fitzgibbons, Merritt, Ensley. Need to keep going or is that enough to prove your wrong?

I’m not on scholarship to play baseball, if I was I would give more of an effort than most on this team tonight

 

[Titan05]

Whew. No run rule tonight.

 

[87&91ALUM]

We have three runs and they could have fourteen runs. We are just having a hard time and the season has been tough so far. I support these players.

Drew Gilbert made it up. It literally means nothing.

I mean we’re only being out hit 8 to 6. Denton has 2 rbis. We’ve smoked several balls. Had a few die at the tracks. The pen has been the last 3 innings.

Say what you want but this is the least inspired weekend of baseball I’ve ever seen us play

 

[patrick]

You’re either a miserable person or just dumb. Honestly I think both

Whatever. You can carry on with excusing how this team plays. You have to resort to insulting me directly.

This team is better than they have been playing but they bought their own hype. You don’t just walk on the diamond and win in this league.

But yeah you “know” baseball all right.

 

[jdogvol]

Drew Gilbert made it up. It literally means nothing.

And it looks absolutely stupid. I wish they'd cut that crap out.

People associate striking out looking with no effort because they have no idea how difficult it is to hit or even pull the trigger sometimes

 

[mattdingus2002]

We may have lost, but the student section was at least entertaining from about the 5th inning on with the first sight of people chirping this year

 

[VolPack22]

Great to hear. You can’t even sniff these dude’s jock straps so stop acting like you know what you are talking about.

 

[VolPack22]

All of them.

Cool!
