Waiting for the "Go get him Tony".

@VolPack22 moves to edge of his seat..

Whatever Tony decides is what is best. He continues to pull all the right strings.

1B ump needs his wife to call and tell him to untuck his jackets

Arizona fails to catch a foul pop up, leads to a two run dinger. Aggies go ahead, 2-0

Don’t know much about rice other than it’s delicious. Let’s wake up and FEAST on Rice in the morning !!!!! Go vols!!!!!

Texas A&M goes down once again, and Jace LaViolette BA is down to .200 right now. Maybe you should take the opportunity when Tony V gives you a chance to play for the Vols instead of trusting in a first time HC

Weezer is correct..

Respectfully, not really about the opponents, more about pitching. 2 more days in Houston, day off, Tuesday and Wednesday, day off and three more games. But we’ll know where we are that’s for sure. JMO.

Gotta love how many games we get in baseball.

Certainly. How we come out of this stretch will say something, how the freshman do, How the arms hold up, but this is precisely the way, the reason, it is scheduled this way. The cool thing is they have been putting players in different positions and situations, in the long run I think it helps.

 

[taylorvol]

We might be deeper than last year perhaps…I would like to know others opinions as well.

Deeper but much younger and inexperienced.

 

[taylorvol]

The number of Aggie fans actively cheering for Tennessee today is crazy. If you just beat me for a natty there’s no way I’m cheering for you lol

Weirdest fan base in America.

 

[Weezer]

I’ve got some Pappy. I’ll share with friends.

We haven’t had recent luck against Arizona.

 

[volsagain]

We haven’t had recent luck against Arizona.

I'm wondering if all the teams went with the top of the rotation for Friday and following the rest of the weekend as you would a regular series ? I think that's how Tony is doing it. At least until AJ gets back to full form.

Franklin working out of the jams yesterday proved his confidence can't be shook and that CTV and CFA have the ultimate confidence in the guy. Young inexperienced pitchers have no fear on the mound. Also with Loy in the BP we will always have that go to guy when times are crucial ...Snead as well

The most recent comment Tony had on AJ is that he would pitch multiple innings next appearance, not multiple appearances each week. Who knows for sure. From what I’ve seen in the small sample size, Doyle is the only lock. I want to see how Phillips does against better teams before he’s a lock for the weekend. I think Sunday is still an open race.

Agreed. Franklin is going to be great. Love how they let him work through the jam. Loy is a stud.

I believe when Russell is full go then He will be Saturday starter and Phillips slides down to Sunday starter. Doyle and Russell on back to back days will be lethal.

Just to be clear, I’m not doubting Phillips just want to make sure he’s not giving up a lot of walks to better competition.

Dang it...I quit watching A&M M8. Nice W 4 Zona
