The Official Tennessee @ Indiana Regional Game Thread (Sat. June 1st 6PM EST) (ESPNU)

Guys
Tonight’s got be concerned
The Vols have faced no quality starting pitching all season- especially of 3rd Place, Big10 quality.
None of our guys can turn on a fast ball and there’s only 3 guys in our staff that could match or exceed that velocity that batters could’ve faced in practice and scrimmages.
As the visitors, there will be ZERO home field advantage.

 

[fryeguy93]

I don't know but I hope so because ESPNU is a no for me as well.

It’ll be on + as well

 

[fryeguy93]

Now I’m hoping for a stadium naming deal with Applebee’s.

Or French’s mustard

Weather could be an issue. Raining here in a middle Tennesseee. Not sure why they didn’t move the game up to this morning. Im hoping for ESPN OR SECN and no plus stuff. Kind and fair announcers would be appreciated. Go Vols win #52

Feels like a good day for Chase Burns, “Bahama John” Currie and the Deacs to fire up the BBQ and watch the Vols cruise through the rest of the tourney.

Always put the time zone with the time. Such a pain when folks dont. Tennessee is ET and CT…thanks!

 

[ArdentVol]

not sure if i want to deal with game thread until ninth

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Lol, they have done home and away like this for last 30 years. Some act like it just started this season good grief.

I’m not directing this at you @CAVPUT , but to be fair, college baseball just started 3 years ago for some people.

NEVER SWING THE BAT AT A BALL.......................A WALK IS SOMETIMES BETTER THAN A HIT !!!! A WALK CANNOT BE THROWN OUT! GET ON BASE. WITH OUR HITTING POWER ANY PLAYER ON THE TEAM IS CAPABLE OF A HOMER !!! ONE GAME AT A TIME, ONE INNING AT A TIME................WIN EVERY INNING. GO VOLS !!!! WEST TENN IS A LONG WAY FROM KNOXVILLE , HOWEVER, YALL WOULD BE SURPRISED HOW MANY OF US ARE WATCHING ON TV !!!

Screaming for Vols he is! Capped it off sew ewe wood kno..SC far...far...but not as far.

 

[VOLfrombama]

I can’t stand pittle farting. Either rip big cheese or hold it in until it’s big enough to rip.

 

[Orange.]

I’ll be there, too!

Did you love it yesterday being back?!

Well, outside the years Rod actually produced, there's not been much ado about baseball in Knoxville before Tony V arrived so it does feel like something rather new.

Applebee’s Dong Island?

Start time is assumed to be the location of the game, or at least I've always thought that. But they did list the time zone in the tweet anyway.

 

[Volfan1000]

Base Vols are 5-1 in the series against Indiana.

 

[Bigvalley84]

I know this is a thing, but it will NEVER not be stupid that a winners bracket host can be the away team this early in the regional. Just so dumb.

The NCAA is just stupid , you play all year to host and the host should be the home team every game

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Good point.

 

[Orange.]

This is a home run.

Ya know frye, I was sitting there thinking last night, right when it appeared the Vols were about to bust that thing open, #32 was really struggling on the mound for NKU, I looked around at everyone sitting on their hands and you could hear a rosin bag drop in LNS! That place should’ve been on that kid like sharks to blood and the crowd should’ve run him. That is where we need to learn to be a rabid fan base but still not going overboard.
LSU, A&M, Ole Miss, you wouldn’t be able to hear yourself think in that situation, much less concentrate on a pitch when you can’t find the zone and hitters are rocking you when you do.
