Now this ************ wants to throw Kirby? Couldve done that innings ago.

 

[vol94]

This umpire is in on the fix and you can’t convince me otherwise

Stop it.

 

[Christian Lowe]

Dude..this is what u live for...just own it.

I live by the expect bad things, never be disappointed.. but they even exceeded my doomsday predictions

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Just let Sewell finish, this game is over and TV needs to take his medicine.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Please Tony let half them go

 

[Zues1]

And the manager will make a pitching change.

 

[Volbrando]

Put in wild thing. I’ve seen that movie. It worked

 

[VolGirl81]

I hate that it ends like this. Not one of our better games.

 

[nomads-11]

Generally, pitching has kept games close. Batting this year has been an adventure. Even lately some of the swings have been awful. Gonna have to find better production up and down the line up next year.

 

[C-south]

that didn’t cost us the game

It was team pitching performance for sure. Scored a run last inning without even getting a hit.

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

If it was 4-0 I'd believe. But 5-0? Gonna need to see a miracle dongcalypse from the boys

 

[Orange931]

I hate that it ends like this. Not one of our better games.

Worst game of the year

 

[GhostVol]

TN's 8th and 9th on D

 

[BP4Prez]

Why Tony pulled Russell, I’ll never know.

Bigger question is why pull Halvorsen?

 

[Bigvalley84]

If Burke don’t get rid of his slow pitch softball stance he’s never gonna hit elite pitching , there’s not another player in Omaha with their feet as close together as his are ,I’m hoping some of his struggles leads to some changes

 

[JCP201]

Cant stand theses LSU bums.

If VOLS miracle doesnt happen, rooting for Wake Forest - TCU or even Florida.

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

Fat lady is chiming up

I can hear Don Meredith singing now.....

 

[rocketskates]

All in all it was a fun season. Can’t strand so many runners against a good team and expect to win.

 

[orange beard]

Well tv screwed the pooch!!! Wondering why he pulled Haverson?

 

[NeverWe'llSever]

I’m (relatively) fine losing. This season was an incredible success all things considered and many more trips to Omaha are on the way, I’m sure. We have a young, energetic coach who’s winning consistently and recruiting lights out. The way we lost is just nauseating.

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

LSU is the better team tonight. Pitching twenty guys isn’t going to fix that.

 

[minorvol]

I would be shocked if we didn't have the worst batting team in Omaha and it just decided to show up tonight. Outside of Dickey and CMO no hitter was what you would consider consistently clutch. Zane and Merrit did it a couple of times but this was just a weak offensive team with a catcher batting sub .180. The fully unexplainable defensive blunders decided to show back up after disappearing as well. All in all a successful season that made it to Omaha for a team that looked dead in the water in early April.

Ahuna showed up and I was pleasantly surprised.

 

[BreatheUT]

Bad pitching moves. Disappointing.

Sewell proved to be the wrong move but one of the runs should not have scored if Moore holds on to the ball.

 

[OldandStillaVol]

Tough game. Team overachieved in post season. Need to recruit, recruit, recruit. See everyone in Sept.

 

[Zues1]

I’d rather we lost to usm than be 2-0’d by lsu

4 out of last 5, but who's counting
