The Official Tennessee vs Clemson Regional Game Thread (Sat. 6/3 6PM EST ESPN2)

[Caz]

Wow Ahuna, great at bat

Least it wasn’t 4-4 on strike outs

 

[NOLAPhil]

The bats tonight are better as toilet paper holders.

 

[VFL1127]

Grice is almost to 100 pitches and we just gave him two first pitch swing weak ground balls. Should they not be trying to work the count and get him out of the game?

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

Ahuna and Hensley better not leadoff tomorrow

 

[Weezer]

FFS, some of you need to take a step back from the ledge.

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

Great now they decided to swing when we are trying to get his pitch count up. ****ing brilliant I mean truly inspirational by our two lead off guys

Pitiful mental approaches all day. 0-8 from top two batters. Still dont think Ensley has a hit in these two games.

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

That body language. Ahuna needs to sit.

Should’ve been in the 9 hole. It worked last time

 

[mattdingus2002]

Good news is the next 3 batters can actually hit, bad news is tony will probably pinch hit for them cause that matches up with the level of managing he’s done today

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Caden Grice is literally about to throw a complete game. Wow….

He’s the baseball version of Klubnik. They pretty much worship him

You really giving advice when you wanted to pull a guy who then hit a HR?

 

[cwbytruckers]

We need base runners. Not every guy swinging for the fence. Its like they all are trying to win it on one pitch.

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

pisses me off when they dont even run out the play and pout in the middle of the baseline

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I’m honestly asking because I know it can be hard to tell over text. But can someone explain to me why we didn’t pinch hit for Stark? Am I really that crazy these days? He’s been terrible at the plate and you only have 6 outs to go. We don’t trust Tears, Dreiling, etc. at the plate at all???

 

[BP4Prez]

I mean there’s not much else to talk about

You'd think, but eh?

no idea, even the clemson fan next to me was shocked

 

[Volfan39]

I think we let stark hit because we have no right handed pinch hitters people are afraid of

I think Tony’s too analytical worrying about matchups, just put the best hitter at the plate and let him work

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

This is probably true

 

[Tenacjim]

Ahuna and Hensley better not leadoff tomorrow

”Hensley“ won’t for sure.

 

[mattdingus2002]

I trust dreiling or tears more than stark vs a lefty

 

[cwbytruckers]

Going to win this 5-4

No explanation. I get the lefty but that’s no excuse. No way you let him lead off an inning down 2 in the 8th.

 

[Volfan39]

I trust dreiling or tears more than stark vs a lefty

I agree. I’m just saying I think that’s Vitellos mindset

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

honestly hate to waste a pretty decent outing from Burns
