The Official Tennessee vs Charlotte Regional Game Thread Friday 6PM EST ESPNU

[AthensVol2007]

Against a crap schedule. We'll see though.

Arkansas and Scar are crap?

 

[Halph66]

Some rules are made to be broken!

If you don't get caught, did it actually happen? Seems appropriate here.

Last pic is clearly intended for @txbo, especially since it’s our leading HR hitter

I'm old school. Wish he would move that right leg more forward. That is the traditional squaring around to bunt stance.

This business of right handers trying to bunt from normal hitting stance has failed us this year.

CTV...watch this

That video should be reported as inappropriate for minors.

That approach gets you hit right in the chest in today's world. You can't get out of the way of the ball and your body response is to use the bat to protect yourself which is an attempt. That is why NOBODY who knows baseball teaches it today except for a sacrifice and very few teams sacrifice today, especially us. I've said it before. Fans are not going to change how Tony coaches hitting and the lack of bunting (good thing right txbo) or how Frank coaches no slide step. If fans cannot handle it, we need to find a new coaching staff or a new team to pull for.

We had a coach that taught bunting well. The only orange you saw at a regional was in the stands.

Nice article on Denton to help pass the time.

I would sell my dog's soul to see Kentucky lose this first game

You're lucky @txbo is not a moderator!

Fighting COVID right now but hoping that the Vols come out “fired up, focused, and prepared” today.

It’s time for this team to shine. Vols need to hit early and often and generate runs.

Go Vols.

 

[Jax_Vol]

The only time our right handers are bunting is for sacrifices and/or if we still have a squeeze play in our play book. They gotta be like one for fifty this year bunting. If they can't bunt sissy style, then square them up.

So what if you get hit in the chest? No worse then getting bell rung in football, or having Uros elbow your jaw in basketball.

Toughen up, buttercups.

You............were around real people?


Didn't see that twist coming.

Great catch by Ball State 3rd baseman.

Great stuff. Well written.

Blame Old_TImer. I didn't even notice how bad our bunting was until he started using it as a prop bet. We average .3 successful bunts per game. And, those are by the left handers.

Without naming names, 2-3 of the right hander hitters look like they are trying to whack a moving rooster with a sling blade.

UVA pounding Army in 1st 0-5 and 2 outs

 

[fryeguy93]

Army does have the best unis

0-6 though

 

[fryeguy93]

speaking of COVID,

I'm concerned if I take a test now, that it would not end well.

so, I'm not taking a test.

Main problem? I can't taste this scotch.

 

[fryeguy93]

By the way. I see that Wright State plays Indiana State at 1:00.
That may be a helluva game

At this point the tests aren't very reliable anyway.

 

[fryeguy93]

I had Texas Tech (3 seed) as a potential dark horse in Gainesville. They are leading error prone UConn right now 1-0

 

[fryeguy93]

I see Lexington has some of the same problems as Knoxville

Look at me! I bought good seats.
But I'm not going anyway


people don't do this crap for concerts! Why do they do it for sports?
