[87&91ALUM]

Looks like Lady Vols beat Vandy in basketball. Not sure our softball Lady Vols will play given rain in Flawda. Hoping for some pissed off Tennessee hitters launching a total offensive assault tonight. Hang fiddy on Baylor or whoever we got tonight. See ya at 6:30.

I’m in Clearwater and it hasn’t stopped raining in two days.

Sounds a bit like they might have been concerned about a foreign substance?

I didn’t see it, so I don’t know for sure, but
I suspect the discoloration on the glove was from light to dark. The umpire likely thought the constrast was significant enough that there might be a distraction for the batter as he tried to pick up the pitch leaving the mound.

In addition to the sportsmanship aspect, there are also player safety concerns; that’s why no pitchers are not allowed allowed a white or light gray glove.

If it was foreign substance related, they’d have cleared him or tossed him, not made him change his glove.

Not at all. That was never a concern. The glove had gray color on it. As a pitcher you cannot wear a glove that is gray. That’s all it was. You can have a colored glove, but gray is one of the colors that is not allowed.

since Kirby‘s glove got in the game, does that mean he gets a half of an appearance? And if it gets in again tonight, does that count as the other half?

I don’t know as much as you but I don’t think it works like that.

 

[SuzyVol]

That play ruptured the space-time continuum and nobody truly knows what happened.

Thanks. As good an explanation as any.

One out in a triple play * 1/2 appearance = (either 1/6th or .167, your choice) outs of a 1-6 triple play. Not too shabby for Kirby’s glove!

Arky just dropped a game to JMU.


guess Arkansas should cancel their season with us

People who always bring up “allowed to have an opinion” realize that people are allowed to have an opinion about their opinion…..right?

Some do. A lot seem surprised that people have comments on their publicly scribed opinion.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Curious to see who we use out of the pen tonight. I’m sure Baylor is stretched thin with their pitching

 

[Buddy’s Bandit]

Lineups been postered yet?

Lineups been postered yet?

Just Zander and the orange on grey uni. Starters usually announced closer to game time.

[Ernest T. Vol]

Cool. Right on time. Burke down in the lineup and Kavares back in.

 

[Volprofch05]

You excited yet @greasemachine ?

Not possible. Some were swearing Tony is clueless and can’t manage a lineup last night.

Hold your horses

 

[Volprofch05]

Hold your horses

Why don’t they just call that game early and skip to the main event?

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Hold your horses

On Facebook, it says they'll be streaming starting at 7:30.
That's all I have to go on right now. I guess the game will start then.

I think they just have one stream for the entire weekend, showing whatever happens to be on then

They plan on streaming the Vols vs Baylor at 7:30 bc there's another game in progress right now.

Would have liked to have seen Villeneuve at 1B for Burke today.

 

[Bigvalley84]

TV has been pretty loyal to his starters , I remember Lipscius and Russell struggling mightily and played almost every game , with the exception of a few walks Oklahoma pitching was pretty dang good , Burke will get it going , these major league stadiums have guys trying to do too much
