My goodness 6-1 now... this weekend sucks for baseball but let's regroup and get this thing right

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

3 errors today? I didn't see that

 

[I4Vols]

Must stop wearing gaiters. It brings out the Pruitt in everything.
I don't like bad juju.

 

[DukeDaisySam]

So your saying the batter missed on a hit and run...thanks

Yeah……ok

 

[wmcovol]

We should have called this weekend series game off while still in K-town.

We haven't done anything good this whole series.

MO is the one that's been playing like a #2 team in the country.

Yeah, I don’t know what the problem is but they’re better than this. This series wasn’t even competitive.

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

Man...those road series at LSU and Arky are gonna be rough.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

To be swept is one thing. To be swept with not a single game being remotely close is concerning. Time for some hard reflection this week. The schedule only gets tougher from here.

 

[Volintheswamp]

I have to keep reminding myself that this is a rebuilding year.

 

[MagnoliaVol]

Coach V’s first team here in 2018 didn’t have anywhere near the talent this team has, and they were more competitive than this. They haven”t shown up at all for this series. It’s only the first series of the SEC, and I believe they will improve, but my concern level is definitely heightening for now.

 

[Vtonerider]

Yeah……ok

Damn tater, you got me!

 

[DownTheField]

Wilkerson just called this a nightmare trip to Columbia... indeed it is

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

My worry is that we don’t seem to have that alpha that is going to charge the team up and bring any confidence. Getting beat my this Missouri team a combined 22-6 is inexcusable though.

 

[Vtonerider]

Not the end of the world but we've been exposed as a poor hitting/fielding team against SEC opponents. Up to us to change that.

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

Also, how many times are we gonna watch the 12-6 curve ball on the outside drop for a 3rd strike. Elander has some situational hitting issues to work out

 

[Fatdad32]

Just ahhhh I can take our team losing. Just looking lost and playing with no sense of urgency or patience just frustrating.

 

[Tnphil]

Got several issues to get corrected...TV will earn his money back in Knoxville over the next several days.

 

[DownTheField]

Today was a great opportunity for this team to forge an identity. Unfortunately, they'll have to work their asses off to make sure this is NOT their identity

 

[BIG SEXY]

We will see how good our staff is as far as coaching up the players after this nightmare. It’s a long season and we have a great staff. Ole Miss was the last team in the tourney last year and they won it all.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Coming into the season, we knew the hitting would struggle. Its the pitching that has me concerned. The big 3 have got to be better, right now they look overrated.

 

[KeyVol14]

Team just isn’t sharp. Thankfully it’s a long season.

 

[VolGirl81]

Bases loaded again, get this game and series over!

 

[BP4Prez]

Coming into the season, we knew the hitting would struggle. Its the pitching that has me concerned. The big 3 have got to be better, right now they look overrated.

I’m more concerned about the defense than pitching. If Ahuna makes that play in the first (he has looked bad on pop ups), burns may be gets rolling. Beam was unraveled thanks to defensive miscues.

 

[Vtonerider]

Ugh, our solid pitching from last year has definitely let us down this weekend.

 

[peerless98]

Burke came off the base on the DP

 

[Vtonerider]

Good on Mizzou, well played, dominating weekend.
