Ensley has saved us some runs defensively over the Regions and Supers. Cal Stark is the only option right now unless he gets hurt. UT is better defensively with Cal and Ensley on the field than not. Dickey bat is too important to put him at catcher and he burns his legs out. I say we run the same exact lineup out that held USM to 0 runs over the final 15 innings between Game 2 and 3.

Stark isn’t the only option. We have Taylor, but offensively Dickey is better. Tears or Dreiling would be just as good defensively and just as productive if not more offensively. The reason I stated what I did is because of the lack of offensive help from those two. (Again, I hope they show out the rest of the post season) last 2 games- Ensley 1-6, Stark 1-6 with 8 lob.

Probably had more to do with a minor injury that the general public wasn‘t privy to….

To Ashley and Payton?

Occasionally do need something from the Outlaw Josey Wales too FWIW

I Just Hope the weather cooperates. I have had my fill of multiple hour weather delays. Just play Ball!

Dickey doesn’t hit a lick when catching and the stats prove that, potential injuries loom large too. I’m guessing Ensey’s a much better defender than Drieling at this juncture. Pick your poison, more bat or more defense. I can agree with you on CF, however Iv’e gotta keep Stark behind the plate.

I agree on the pick your poison. No doubt. Stark has been dealing on runners stealing here lately. His bat not so much. I’m not knocking any of the kids by no means. Just stating offensively, these guys haven’t showed up much and will
That hurt in Omaha?

Cal needed for defense Taylor a good backup but neither give you much offensively

In the last seven games, all post season, Tears and Dreiling are a combined 0-3 in pinch hit appearances, two left on base.

To Ashley and Payton?

Yep. Numbers. Karen was betting Karlyn’s heater would rule the day. Doubt it was an injury driven decision.

…and Dirty Harry and Tombstone. That pretty much covers most situations.

Except for a few Vols, it seems like most hit in streaks. Pitchers hot and cold too but, pitching streaks could be facing good or not hitting. Defense is going to be huge in this big baseball field. I’ve we can get out in front, we tend to win. We just have to suit up, show up, shut up, get focused, and play the best we can. I’m looking forward to an underdog NATTY! Smokey Dogs are us!

[Christian Lowe]

Our offense is due for a big game. We gonna go medieval on those Tigers

Monty Python Carry On Carry on, sergeant major.

“Stay awake, stand firm in the faith, carry on as men, grow mighty.”—1 Corinthians 16:13.

Couldn't find the Looney Tunes quote fo carry on but I think he is correct

 

[Volprofch05]

Vol tinge starting to show in Omaha. Big banners not up yet. The invisible stake through the LSU logo is a sign I think. Like the priest in “The Omen.” Tigers are doomed.

I think your first pic contains a hidden clue indicating which head coach will be winning a championship this year

Very nice…

And the Good The Bad and the Ugly. Bonus points for Hunt for Red October

Wilky can get a guy jacked up.

 

[BallerVolFan]

I think this is the best approach. You know he wants to get ahead, don't let him.
Also I know it's easier said than done but you have to battle him no quick strikeouts, drive the pitch count up.

It’s a two-edged sword. Jump on him early and get him out of rhythm and fluster him, or jump on him early and let him out of innings only throwing 10-15 pitches

 

[Jax_Vol]

I'm old school....gotta have defenders up middle of the field.

Catcher, SS, second base, centerfield need to all be strong defensive.

Do we know the team hotel yet? I know the Demon Deacons are staying at the Mariott. They're all here right now at DJ's Dugout for "lunch." I'll see if I can get them a bar tab going and get them hammered.

For the Vols, surely they are staying at the HYATT
