The Official Tennessee vs S. Miss Super Regional Game 1 Thread Sat. June 10 3PM EST ESPNU (Hattiesburg)

[Zues1]

If he's still projected top 5 rounds. He's gone.

Best of luck hitting in AA ball.

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

I’m not miserable at all. Just stating my opinion like anyone else on this board can and will do.

It would be great if the Vols can pull this off. If not - that’s the way the ball bounces. I will be watching every inning and will be pulling for the boys in Orange to gut these next two out.

Based on analytics of how to build a lineup, ours should be ordered-
Scott RF
Denton 3b
Dickey LF
Merritt DH
Moore 2b
Ensley CF
Ahuna SS
Burke 1b
Stark C

Analytics sez batting order plays little into winning a baseball game. Per fangraphs.com

win 2 in a row and we are fine.

strike first with 4 runs and cruise. We are fine

 

[knoxvol52]

He’ll get drafted.

Why wouldn't he leave I'm sure he hears **** all the time from fans at least he get paid better money for it at next level

 

[VolsSportsFan]

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!

Basketball we always seem to get the hot Cinderella, an under seeded team, or the dreaded “bad match up”.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Heres the thing......... They struggled against Seth.......... If Chase has fastball command theyre in trouble. Southern Miss looks bad against velo.

 

[teeball]

He’s batting .303 since we started postseason ball that’s 3rd best on the team.. so that’s 6 others you should be whining about BEFORE Maui

Where in the world did you see that he has a .303 postseason average. He' gone 2 for 4, 1 for 6, 0 for 5 and 1 for 4 so far in the NCAA post season. That's a .210 average.

Why don’t I hate this? I might swap Ahuna & Burke, but I’m down for it.

That’s true, I was just going by using the cheat sheet that tells you the order you should use. Its weird but it is what a few major league teams including the rays use

Idk but maybe SEC tourney? I didn’t get to watch that one so I’m not sure what he did vs A&M

 

[theroyz71]

I agree with you, so I went and just took a peek…Maui is SEC competition alone is hitting .291, surprisingly…the issue is that he struck out in 40% of his at bats. FORTY. FOUR. ZERO.

His outs are rarely productive.

 

[TennVols12]

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

He’s 1 of 5 on “mute”. It makes it a little less depressing in here.

I agree.

I’m in agreement with 1-5 for sure. Scott gets a lot of walks.

Sorry, but who cares about the SEC tournament. The NCAA tournament is where it counts IMO.

Well that’s worse my bad he’s 3rd highest in the starting lineup ALL year among regular starters.. still sitting him or burke just isn’t something you do

 

[I4Vols]

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

Agree, the @ clem was a great job, but our away track record has been more than iffy. This series IMO totally different at LNS

 

[Boomer78]

Post season looks to be 4-23 with 11 strikeouts to me, thats batting .174, just saying!!

 

[Adam Sandler]

Just focus on winning the day. We’re looking much better for game 2 than we were for game 1 last night.

 

[BallerVolFan]

So the next game will begin at 2 pm CT correct?

 

[bigdaddy]

So the next game will begin at 2 pm CT correct?

Yes

 

[rockytop36]

Let me know who you are starting over Maui.. 2 other guys who play there are batting .189 and .219

Exactly, sitting Burke or Ahuna at this point in the season just isnt something you do.
