Slide Maui down the lineup please.

Bench

 

[GhostVol]

These LSU punks need knocked down a notch

It's coming.....

 

[cwbytruckers]

Ahuna 0-4 4 strike outs. Unless we get to the bullpen

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

This is getting ridiculous

Why don't you try and go hit that s***

 

[utVolFanInVA]

Ahuna should just grab his glove and forget about batting tonight. Take the automatic out. He is lost and not even close to getting a hit.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Well, my plan of getting Skenes out by the 5th and getting to their bullpen is looking unlikely. Gotta have Lindsey keep us in this thing.

 

[LivinginthePast]

I don’t think we can hit on this guy

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

Maui is horrible man… lord

He either refuses to make an adjustment or Elander isnt coaching him how to. One of the two

 

[TechnoVol]

Saw all that slow junk in Daddysburg and we're not able to get on top of his fastball. Maybe the second time through we'll start seeing it better.

 

[GoVolunteers]

I’m convinced these announcers have Paul Skenes as their Lock Screen

I would too… he is that good. He is fun to watch… just wished it wasn’t against us tonight but I have no hate against the announcers for their love tonight… his numbers were just that good this year

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Maui looks so not confident at the plate.
I wish he would get a couple of nice hits and get in a groove, we’re gonna need him!

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

I know Skenes is good, but we are making him look sooooo much better

Dude is dealing. What are you talking about?

 

[vols1071]

Just hold em here.... We gonna catch him on one here soon

 

[GhostVol]

That catcher likes to show up the ump.
He'll get tired of that.

I'm wondering when, though.....

He's shown up HP like, six times now?

 

[cwbytruckers]

Gotta swing at those

He is Hammer Time up there. Cant touch That

 

[chuckb1448]

I’m convinced these announcers have Paul Skenes as their Lock Screen

The announcers have had Everyone but Tennessee on their agenda..... it is what it is. Remember the Orange Bowl, it was All Clemson until about 45 seconds left in the game

 

[DukeDaisySam]

Skenes throws triple digits to make you start looking for it, then settles back into nothing but off-speed junk 'cause now you're looking for the heat

Trots out another heater once in a while to keep you from sitting on the off speed

Hasn't broken triple digits but a couple of times since the 1st inning

This cat ain't all that

LOL!!!!!

 

[volsagain]

Big guy working really hard , I believe we'll ware him down. GBO

 

[jdogvol]

Maui is overmatched by a change up

I believe he's overmatched by a t-ball tee.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

I’m convinced these announcers have Paul Skenes as their Lock Screen

Well, that Chris Burke guy hates Tennessee.

 

[Kingzport]

Bench

Can’t. Glove is way too good to bench.

 

[Baulder]

Battle of the headline transfers Maui is 0-2 so far. But to be fair Skenes embarrasses basically everybody that dude shouldn't be in the college game right now.

 

[LordVOLdemort]

This guy is just that good, once in a generation type of talent

I agree but they are about to spluge

 

[Memphisvol87]

They just need to play. No reason to be scared of this. If someone connects we can crank one. Just keep swinging

 

[GoVolunteers]

I won’t lie… I stare more at Skenes pitch count and just pray we get to the pen. Every deep count and ball thrown is a win. We got this!!!
