Barnes offense morphs into Vitello defense. Good pitching cannot overcome retarded base running and defense. Appears that LSU is sweeping.

 

[LivinginthePast]

Ugh was hoping we would win this one. Don’t think I’ll watch tomorrows game. Gonna get swept.

 

[knoxvol52]

We have played this so called best in nation team tough as hell for 2 games and I bet if you ask them they would say we don't won't to see them in a Super Regionsl this year

Starting pitching has regressed too. It is a total regression

 

[MackDaddyVol]

Dropped in just long enough to get more negativity than I expected. Will try again tomorrow

VOLS baseball has lost all of the swagger that made them so much fun to watch last year. I have seen way too many batters watch a strike go by right down the middle on the first pitch.

They did that last year. The swag is gone because these kids have never started, and are intimidated by the moment. And the few times they’ve risen to the occasion, they celebrate like they’re “supposed to.”

 

[nashvillepanther]

Crews is trying way too hard.

 

[peerless98]

Please turn 2

When all the swagger gets drafted in the starting line up, it's tough to replace.

 

[gnm53108]

Here we go. Our last chance. Need atleast 2

 

[Switch 625]

That’s better. Nice DP to end the inning. Let’s rattle some bats!

 

[vol66]

Nice job CMO!

 

[DownTheField]

Let's do this

 

[AthensVol2007]

It’s an objective fact we have the smallest park in the conference and it’s at 700-1000 feet in elevation.

No we don’t. Baum Walker at Arkansas is the exact same 320 down the lines. Miss St is 305 to RF and 325 to LF. The league avg is 325 down the lines; we’re not hitting HR’s because we hit the ball 321ft. Ole Miss has the longest lines and we hit 7 HR’s in 3 games vs them last year.

 

[Volprofch05]

Game would be tied without the blunders, how many times have we said that this year?

Okay.

 

[knoxvol52]

Think they will do well this year at least a Super Regional but next year will be their year so much coming back position players and pitching dude we lost 8 starters from last year's team damn they are young

Yep. The score is only 6-4, but feels like 16-4

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

Last year taught me that all you gotta do is make it to the postseason, then be healthy and hot at the right time. Not worried, but I was hopeful we'd keep up last year's regular season success with the returning pitching.

I know, right? Good gracious

 

[peerless98]

I just ask for a few baserunners.....or HR's

 

[Woodrow Call]

This LSU team has really got some talent. A lot of big, physically gifted guys.
