What a great bounce back dub! Let’s go take the series and eff Alabama forever!

 

[feathersax]

We won the ball game, no matter what happens today, we’re Awright, thanks @Freak .

Who were those annoying announcers doing the game last night? Diarrhea of the mouth with their mindless ramblings. Wanted to scream.

KING of the REFRESH BUTTON!!!

Assume we see Kuhns, Arvidson, Krenzel, and Combs if needed today….obviously Snead and Loy are done. Those 2 are studs and will remain invaluable as the season progresses. I expect to see Bargo in the lineup today. This team is too young and needs his veteran leadership/experience. He’s looked really good at the plate in both Bama games.

I must have tried 100 times.

YAY, Volnation is back. It crashed for me last night when our Curley Dean hit that homer, while lady Vols were destroying their opponent.

Same here I felt lost without VN

I just assumed it was operator error.

I thought it was my phone at first.

It's was definitely weird . Little woman had to work today so she went to bed didn't have anyone to talk to. GBO We're up and running again just like the Big

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

OK, you baseball centric guys, where do you see the ARMS race for game 3? Hate we burned so much Snead oil last night, but what do I know? So many young arms this year and I am lost.

We may not have all we wanted left But we still have plenty of good fresh arms left. GBO beat the gumps. Oh I hate bama.

Looks to be a bullpen game today.

Also, for future series, wonder if TV is considering moving Phillips to Friday. He loads the zone and maybe that would rub off on Doyle.

 

[Aerie Vol]

Doyle leads the known universe in strikeouts, so…..

 

[volsagain]

Doyles only had one bad inning. Don't see Tony changing anything on the starters. AJ gets back 100% might change the Sunday starter roll. They don't want to over use him so they probably have a strict pitch limit for him.

Who’s ready for a series-clinching battle on the 4th Saturday in March?

 

[OrangeCola]

good game, great rebound from Thursday! Let's win today and take he series

 

[Orange931]

It’s a glorious day for a series win.

Doyle is fine. He had a bit of an off night which was compounded by poor defense behind him.

At what point do we question whether AJ is ever coming back other than a brief appearance a couple of times a season?

Agree but it’s two weeks where he has struggled with control. My fear is that starts eating to your bullpen on Friday. Phillips is an automatic 6-7 innings right now.

His long term health is the most important. Thinking is longer time for healing and warmer weather may be more suitable for his long term health. If you miss use and hurt someone's long term pro chances would be detriment to future recruitment.

 

[CDB]

Why are we playing them two years in a row in Tuscalooser?

 

[Starchief13VFL]

It’s a glorious day for a series win.

I’ll be there!!

Guessing Behnke and Franklin are also available. Especially Behnke. He threw about 3-4 pitches.
