You had to know that was coming. Between stark, Scott and Ahuna, you can almost guarantee 2 outs.

I was thinking a pinch hitter for at least Stark since it was the bottom of the ninth, but he got hit by a pitch, so gave us a chance to win.

 

[Weezer]

We need to focus more on base hits and base runners. Stop trying to go yard with every at bat.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Well Virginia isn’t having any trouble rallying from down 1-0. They are out 5-0 in game 3.

They're also at home... Where we should be .

 

[Halph66]

Just a little more difficult. It’s now our next year. GBO!

 

[Ttucke11]

I'd love to see CMO higher in the lineup. I'd much prefer our last at bat being him instead of Ensley.

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

Inning 1 dive by Ensley hurt us bad

We lost that game due to wayyy too many mental mistakes. Diving for an uncatchable ball. Moore killing momentum on the base baths. Whole team trying to hit a HR every swing.

 

[Boomer78]

Did VT concede this game by allowing Stark to take an at bat and not put in. DH?

no, he conceded it by letting Ahuna bat with one out and a man on. That's a spot for Dreiling or Tears (my opinion, anyway)

 

[NO SIR EEE]

Move it on over

 

[ButchPlz]

What time is Game 2?

 

[Titan05]

So much for the series not being close.

Still could happen unfortunately

Right if you have 7 homeruns you shouldn't be swinging for the fences

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

I would sit Burke in 2nd game

 

[Sam I Am]

I have serious doubts that the Vols will win games 2 and 3.

Got to win game 2 to play tomorrow.

Vols weren’t ready to play yesterday unfortunately.

Patrick, God bless your heart son, but you are a broken record of misery.

 

[barney]

What time is Game 2?

55min break I believe

 

[rockytop36]

Don't we have anyone else who can play shortstop? At the the very, very, very least, put him in the 9 hole spot as he is nothing but a guarateed out. What's that saying about repeating the same actions and insanity?

Dude he’s batting .304.. and plays outstanding D.. and you want him to hit behind cal stark??

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

It’s over. Had to have that first game on the road. NCAA committee is a joke. TV gonna get a rep as not being able to get it done in the post-season.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

no, he conceded it by letting Ahuna bat with one out and a man on. That's a spot for Dreiling or Tears (my opinion, anyway)

Good point, I agree

 

[BigALWiLson]

I hope we don’t get beat in game 2 because this board will melt down and want everyone fired lol

Nah but I still struggle with base running and hitting approach. Doubtful they will replace Elander unless he moves on

 

[JCP201]

For all The Maui haters.. he’s hands down one of the best defensive SS you are going to find.. he’s also batting .304 which is no slouch either

He strikes out a lot--but he is really fast and his defense is incredible. (See the ninth inning of this game)

 

[barney]

Oh scratch that 3pm et

 

[Ttucke11]

move cmo back to the two hole and Denton up to the five in this game. Have to get your best players more at bats. No reason ensley should be still batting two the way he’s swung it the last three weeks and that Burke should be ahead of Denton in the lineup.

Amen. I'd honestly like to see Tears or Dreiling in the lineup somehow. Need to give a few guys a wake up call.

 

[Orange931]

Bama getting smacked around. Lovin it

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

no, he conceded it by letting Ahuna bat with one out and a man on. That's a spot for Dreiling or Tears (my opinion, anyway)

Ahuna does hit 304

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

Yes we need to get some bats going forward

Do we think that incoming freshman catcher will actually make it to Knoxville? Or is he a projected high draft pick?

 

[vol94]

Baseball is a funny game as things change game to game. It’s so frustrating to see our guys struggle at the plate Vs lefties.

There always seems to be storyline when TN plays an important game and/or post season game.

Basketball - Vs Loyola Chicago
Baseball - coach is retiring
Football- I don’t know where to start.

Take game two and force game three.

Go Vols!
