Tony tosses another game away with a bad pitching decision

We know you would do much better at his profession

 

[mattdingus2002]

Who’s left pitching wise? Don’t see us going with stamos, they killed him friday, causey probably not, combs is a no, Loy? Dallas?

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

We can moan about pitching all day, but we only have 2 hits. Hard to win in the SEC with only two hits. Gotta rattle the sticks.

This is true.. but you also have to realize as the coach what the margin for error is in the moment of the current game and realize when to pull someone. 4 of those 5 runs were due to Tony leaving a guy in too long and then making a bad matchup choice for the reliever twice

 

[Orange931]

Need at least 3 here. Let’s not wait til the 8th or 9th

SEC Baseball 101. Don’t get swept on the road and win your home series and you’ll find yourself hosting in May. I know fans don’t like losing (especially series) but it’s baseball. It is what it is. A series win on the road against a team as high as KY would have moved us up the order but a series loss isn’t going to hurt us.

I agree with everything you say. I would absolutely take 1-2 going into the series. That said, I DO have concerns about the way we are going about losing. Absolutely gave Friday’s game away.

KY is a good, fundamentally sound team. We have more talent. Being fundamentally sound appears to be the difference so far.

 

[cardvolfan]

Let the game play out. Never over until it’s over. If Kentucky wins, they just outplayed us. More important things ahead than this series.

 

[mattdingus2002]

I’d pinch hit for cal here, but that’s just me

 

[AthensVol2007]

We has 15 arms left and we arent using them. Idk what the deal is

Who!? We have Schaefer, Dallas, Phillips, Kirby, Loy and Stamos. The LHP hasn’t worked out today so that takes 67% of those guys out of the equation right now and you’re likely not turning to true FR in this situation. I was surprised to see Kirby roll out cause CTV motioned for a righty (or at least appeared to). You’re not putting tru

 

[AthensVol2007]

It was a joke.
Is Florida even a .500 ball club?
I know they are sub .500 in conference play.

20-19 I believe.

 

[Christian Lowe]

I’d pinch hit for cal here, but that’s just me

With who? Peebles is worse than stark.

 

[Boomer78]

Tony tosses another game away with a bad pitching decision

Just doesn't have a lot to work with this year

 

[SGMVols]

The only pen guys we can trust right now are Kirby and Aaron. That’s not going to be enough to get back to Omaha. Somebody else has to step up over the next month

 

[Tenacjim]

This hasn't been CTV's finest game and I'm sure he will say as much after the game.

Left Sechrist in too long. Snead should have never been in the game given how UK hit him the other day. Set him up for failure.

Kirby should have come in instead of Behnke too (IMO).

 

[TheBigOne10]

atta boy Cal! Lol

 

[AllThingsTN]

Top of the lineup. 3rd time through. Hits and runs

You are basically saying they are coaching up this series better than our staff.

 

[mattdingus2002]

With who? Peebles is worse than stark.

Likely 1 AB left for that spot, catch him and then use a bench bat, then let Charlie catch the last inning

 

[ETNVolunteer1]

Kirby should’ve been in once Zander was out.

 

[vol_smoothie]

Vols need to add some pitching before the trade deadline...oh, wait, that's still just an MLB thing (for now).

"for now" is right. $$ greed is killing our college athletics.

 

[AllThingsTN]

Come on now

 

[Orange931]

CMO!!!

 

[TheBigOne10]

There we go. Give the people what they want Blake

 

[ENGRVOL]

That 9-1 spot has been money for us all day
