Yep, I was just there myself

And of course they wanna talk about last years bought championship. It’s great to have Vitello, every team in the league is just gonna have to deal with it. We’re not going anywhere.

Wild end to the Ole Miss - Miss St game, obnoxious bat flip on a go ahead HR in the 12th, Bianco ejected and caught on hit mic, comeback win bottom 12

Can't find video of the hot mic incident anywhere. How bad was it?

 

[PYSCHO]

a poor first AB but a solid 2nd AB and was PH for his would be 3rd AB.

One that kills me is Einsley. Talk about poor ABs. 0-2 every ab watching fastballs and like I say he swings at stuff you could not hit with fat albert bats. Way too many takes of hittable pitches

Imagine being defending national champs and having a thread discussing what it takes to get to Hoover. Lol

As much as I want to beat LSU, going to Hoover without Tiger fans there would be sad; we've made some great Cajun friends there. Competitive yet cordial & most entertainging.

Looks like a great day to cleanup let's sweep these bums right out of town !!! GBO

As of today, would LSU make the regionals?

 

[BruisedOrange]

So the quid-essential question is:

Do you accept winning a national title this year in exchange for missing the post season next year?

Sorry but i think you mean quintessential.

Oh. I thought she meant, like, "One pound sterling for your thoughts."

(Does this mean I'm not getting paid for my reply?)

It was the same bat flip Gilbert did vs Wright St.

I had a question about Holman and was hoping some of you could comment on: his numbers have been crazy good this year (14.5 SO’s/9, 2.5 W/9, and less than 6 hits/9). What has made him so hard to hit against this year? His FB was 91-92 last night, and his off speed stuff was good, but didn’t seem exceptional.

In 5.2 innings last night he only struck out 4 Vols. We seemed off-balance and had a hard time consistently barreling anything, although there were 5-6 balls in those 6 innings we hit hard. All I kept saying as I was watching was, “I’m glad he’s not Skenes.”

Wouldn't call them "bums", but we really could use a win today. The schedule takes a much tougher turn after this weekend. UK appears to be real...very real.

 

[AthensVol2007]

That’s not what I said. I’m done with you

I’m not sure I’ll ever recover.

 

[AthensVol2007]

You’re not wrong but the dude can pitch.

He definitely can and would’ve loved to have had him. This team would be damn near unstoppable with him and Beam back to back. And I just meant last night on him being “electric”. Most nights I think he is, but we had solid contact all night and eventually you felt something was going to fall or find a hole.

 

[feathersax]

As of today, would LSU make the regionals?

Doubtful, unless things change. I've always thought that Coach Johnson wouldn't last in Baton Rouge.

 

[AthensVol2007]

Not much of a chance of a Vandy free Hoover…. But we can dream.

If they don’t have anyone there to verify they made it, did they really make it?

You only do that bat flip if you walked it off

Why not they ain't VOLS they be bums .

 

[taylorvol]

Bianco was firing up his players. Bat flip ejections are silly.

Plays incredible defense and comes up with clutch hits consistently. See Clemson and Southern Miss and Omaha.

 

[ACvol3]

Will there be tickets available at the game today?

 

[Aerie Vol]

It'll never happen, but the 51 year old in me wishes we'd just go back to how it used to be.

In the Miss St. dugout, post HR bat flip - Sunday leadoff batter: "You crushed it, bro! Nice batflip. No worries man, I'll wear the bruise for ya. Let's finish this."

In the Ole Miss dugout post top of the 12th - Sunday starting P: "Shake it off, man. We all toss a meatball sometimes. I got you, I'll take care of it."

Sunday, pitch one, fastball to the head, benches clear and teach the Sunday P a lesson. Let's not go there.
Sunday, pitch one, curveball to the hip. Batter smiles at the P and takes his base. We play a game like grown men.

 

[preacherman20]

Holman’s fastball has late movement so you don’t hit it solid. Plus last night we hit a lot of very hard balls straight out there guys and Tommy tanks bailed him out in the inning before we started hitting.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

I hope Jay Johnson does direct deposits to Paul Manieri’s account every 2 weeks for leaving him a championship roster of juniors last year.

Yes he put them over the top but they don’t come close to winning without the core Maineri left in Thompson, Crews, Morgan, Jobert, Dugas and Milazzo. It was apparent after the 2021 Super Regional that FR class was going to do big things over the career.

Agreed. That squad was loaded.
Tennessee has turned this thing into much more of a rivalry than LSU would care to admit.

 

[VolGirl81]

A&M must be the real deal, I haven’t seen them play. Will be quite the series when they play Arky.
