The Official Tennessee @ Mizzou Weekend Series Thread 3/17-3/19 (Fri. 4PM EST) (Sat. Postponed) (Sun. 2PM EST Doubleheader) (All games SEC NET+)

[Aerie Vol]

Did they call that on the step off again??

 

[taylorvol]

It was the right call this time. Runner was safe as Burke came off bag. First one was missed.

 

[WaywardVol]

Hopefully VOLS get better when it gets a bit warmer. I really thought our pitching would hold up, but as of right now we haven't really beaten a good team, make too many errors and can't hit. Not good.

You could have had Nolan Ryan and it wouldn’t have made a difference with the lack of offense.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

5-0 MO .... smdh.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

5-0??? Omg

 

[Aerie Vol]

Just go home and regroup. Whatevs. Garbage calls.

Blake has to learn to put his foot on the bag when / if he catches the ball.

 

[Gilbert]

This team is in a world of hurt right now. Very concerned for the season.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Well maybe some ticket prices will come down by the rest of the season

 

[Aerie Vol]

Coming off the bag happens routinely. It is NEVER called if it isn't blatant.

garbage calls? no garbage hitting and not great pitching got us beat.

[Titan05]

So down 5-0 at some point in every game this weekend. Absolute nightmare.

Didn't say we lost because of them. Losing for other reasons doesn't negate the garbage.

 

[Jax_Vol]

The 1st base calls aren't an issue because our bad fielding fundamentals made them irrelevant.

Exactly! That was a routine rounder to Zane. Why was Blake having to stretch out for a bang-bang play? He should be out by five steps.

That's unbelievable I never saw this coming

At second, you can get away with the 'in the ballpark'.

But, at first.....gheez?

In the age of video review, you dang well better stay on the bag. You don’t get phantom calls anymore

 

[greasemachine]

My dad tends to watch first base (Z also played first base, so habit) He has mentioned numerous times BB foot not staying in contact with the bag and not getting called.

Ball definitely needs to get out of glove and to first quicker with fast runners.

 

[Vtonerider]

We swept the eventual 2022 CSW Champs in similar fashion (on the road). So all is not lost.

 

[Volintheswamp]

wow.. just wow. It’s like they didn’t even get off the bus this weekend. This is a huge mental issue with this team. If it doesn’t get addressed fast, it could derail the season. They look lost out there.

This was likely scouted by MO and they gave umpires a “heads up“ to be on lookout for it.

 

[txbo]

I can’t even remember the last time we got swept.

Missouri likely saw this tendency and tipped the umps to keep an eye on it.
