Another play at second another miss by Curley

Throw was high

Depends on the matchup. We need to pull for UNC over FSU in the 1-0 game. We can absolutely beat FSU in an elimination game. Their pen isn’t deep outside of today. Our odds of beating UNC twice are much higher than against FSU.

Arnold could be back by then.

Vitello needs to use NIL and go after some serious pitchers in the portal. You don't win championships without top tier pitching period!

Hate to say this because I'll get bashed but, we need Frank to retire.

 

[Orange931]

Good lord

Weirdly enough, as disappointed as I am, I have a sense of calm. I don’t know how to describe it. It’s not a sense of not believing we couldn’t do it. Maybe the words will come to me at some point. Disappointed, let down, but it is what it is.

Almost like we’ve seen it before in every sport a lot?

I hear you get a similar feeling when you know you’re about to die

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Another walk. But our pitching has been fine.

 

[dale1998]

We gotta get Curley moved off SS next year, he is a defensive liability.

Sad thing is he is probably our best fielder in the infield.

 

[LLcoolDave]

for a team that doesn't walk batters much, we are loading them up tonight

 

[The Tall Gguy]

Another walk. Good stuff!

 

[87&91ALUM]

Another walk

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Can't throw strikes

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Pitching is absolutely killing us. Please hit the portal hard.

 

[LordVOLdemort]

I’m over at this game. Maybe we will be the 5th team to win out of the losers bracket and the first 1 seed in 20+ years

 

[TheBigOne10]

Why is Curly always out of position and can’t get to a routine grounder to short?

Routine?! That ball was a howitzer

 

[Orange931]

Hurting ourselves more than anything.

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

Stark, CMo, Burke

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Hard to win this thing. FSU 44 straight ncaa tourneys up until last year and 24 CWS appearances with no titles.

Yep. But winning Game 1 for once sure would be nice. Not even asking to win the whole thing/ would just like to see us hit immediately dig a massive hole.

Becoming numb to the kicks in the nuts….you are becoming one wise Vols fan! You are entering new stages of true Vol fandom..hahahaha

 

[SGMVols]

I’ll probably go out like my grandpa dying the year before the Braves won a World Series again

Oh man, that’s brutal. The only team I root for that’s won the big one in my adult life. And given that my other teams are the Titans and Preds (LMAO) it’ll probably stay that way until it’s my time.

 

[barney]

Sad thing is he is probably our best fielder in the infield.

Nah CMO is our best infielder followed by burke

 

[BreatheUT]

They just a term I used tonight. "Opportunistic".

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Not really..but they do have one ace to our 0 so

Their backup is owning Vols atm

 

[DownTheField]

String some hits together and make this happen

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Cut into the lead this inning men!
