It's rare for the clean up hitter to bunt, in general.

I understand that. Granted, I’m not a D1 coach and my kid isn’t a D1 player, she is a clean up hitter and will bunt on demand. In a game that I know will be a tough game, every run matters.

 

[Jax_Vol]

Gonna be back and forth with Braves and Vols tonight. Appreciate someone posting score occasionally.

Two to zilch

Sometimes the moment swallows you up, and sometimes you rise to meet the moment. Lindsey doesn't look scared.

 

[Jax_Vol]

This is where Maui needs to hitting in order for some unknown period of time

 

[Volprofch05]

Some quality D in this game so far

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Only the 2nd inning and we've already learned two things:

1. AJ is a STUD
2. HOGS ARE SCARED

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves lol. Loooooong game.

The way he was struting around after strike 2 on the two hitter made he think......he thought that was strike three...lulz

What we do know with certainty is that Arkansas has no respect for the game.

Softball is not baseball. You don’t bunt in today’s baseball like you used to.

He does not. In CHRIST Alone

Too many dongs these days for small ball

Hollan seems to me to rock back/forth before he coms to his set which I would think is a balk?

 

[theroyz71]

Scott is all over it.

 

[Ritzwatch]

I haven’t policed anything. Lol it’s ball. Can you answer the question rather than try to insult? I’m literally asking. Without the balk, we score 1 run when 2 was for sure. Please talk the game with me and not “I trust V or police, blah blah”

Good evening, friend. Respectfully, I believe you misunderstood my post. There is a long history of some regular posters distain for the bunt, even in strategically appropriate times in the game. I was actually just preparing the board for their potential arrival here, and I hoped it to be taken in jest.
I did not insult you, and I think my post history shows some knowledge of the game, more humor, and even more respect for fellow posters.
so, I hope you are able to fully enjoy the rest of the game while cheering on Our Vols, and I hope you are able to get out of Alabama soon, as any self respecting Vil should hope for you.
kind regards,
Ritzwatch
P.S. I was calling for a bunt from my living room.

There is this newer thing a number of pitchers do from the stretch where they continue to rock back and forth, seeming to set and reset their arms like a duck shaking off water. I’ve never understood why that is not a balk.

Not necessarily in the first inning. I believe you play for the big inning early. It did work out. We got the second run.

 

[Volstylexx]

Lady Vols just stole a run in extra innings with a 2 out bunt.... Was a gem of a play.

 

[Volstylexx]

47 pitches thru 2 on Arky pitcher.

He absolutely did. Lol

Against a top 5 team, I take every point I can generate.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Dang pop-ups….we still leading. Cmon Lindz…another solid pitching inning.

 

[Christian Lowe]

Dickey needs to crush those hangers like he did in the first inning

 

[volz2wallz]

Let's go lindz!!!️

 

[preacherman20]

We will refrain from using all four letter words that start with b and end with t while txbo is not here. No cursing.

 

[Voltrapnbama]

47 pitches thru 2 on Arky pitcher.

Not important until we see the 3rd inning. Imo.
