[87&91ALUM]

Reese Chapman at bat. Freshman DH.

 

[Jax_Vol]

This guy is flat whack....throws a 70 mph change-up off a 78 mph fast ball

 

[87&91ALUM]

And he gets hit. Two on.

 

[Ritzwatch]

Ahuna and Moore not starting?

Rucker says Moore is in a walking boot. Ahuna? Maybe hurt, maybe more, maybe both hurt and more.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

We suck at hitting ...

 

[87&91ALUM]

Double play….smh…top third. Tech ahead 1-0

 

[VolPack22]

That was not good situational hitting.

 

[Ritzwatch]

I watched that last pitch and looked up to see the speed. The screen said “23”; it took me a minute to realize that was the pitch count.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Hasn't been for a long time

[greasemachine]

Christian

 

[Jax_Vol]

I do like Dylan D in left field. He gonna be a player.

 

[Ritzwatch]

Spoiler alert: He gives up one run, then tightens things down.

 

[greasemachine]

Let's go Bryce!

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

I hope I'm wrong but this game now has a horrible vibe to it. Let's go take care of business guys cmon

The guy has an ERA over 9 and we can’t hit him

Ahuna was benched for poor play (disguised as a “lingering back issue”). You heard it here first.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Well... Walk, two on one out in another jam... Cmon Vols

Do you think Ahuna has checked out?

Tbf we say this any time we’re losing. Good rule of thumb is to never get too worried in a one run game before the 8th inning.

I don’t deal in gossip unless it is about 7th grade girls or stolen recipes at a Methodist covered dish dinner.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Tech with two on and one out.

 

[Volstylexx]

I still blame the ncaa and their antics for ruining what should have been a stellar season for him. He’s pressed all year because he started 10 games behind in the stats column. I do think he’s nursing a legitimate injury but he was available to play all last weekend and didn’t (after the errors). I don’t know him personally so have no idea his current mental state but I feel bad for the young man. This isn’t what he envisioned coming to UT

 

[87&91ALUM]

Loaded the bases.
