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

Honestly, just about the worst time for a weather delay possible. Moore in a 2-2 count and will basically have 1 pitch from a new pitcher when he comes back to do something. Ugh.

Exactly what I just said! It doesn’t help us as at ALL

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Yeah pretty strong chance Moore strikes out having a 2-2 count and not being at bat for an hour. And that’s inning over.

Gotta let the AB finish.

 

[TN_gal]

And here comes the weather delay....

 

[Voltrapnbama]

??? He’s throwing 80-89mph cheese down the middle

And the best inning we have had with the best hitter we have had gets delayed and we get excited? Lmfao.

For those who don't know the game well:

You can't set a warm arm pitcher for this long. They'll have to go to their pen. Because we were likely to be in the pen anyway, this favors the Vols.

 

[Vtonerider]

Lightning delay? When I was young.......

I’m gonna mow and smoke a cigar

No it doesnt, he was rattled a little. Our hottest hitter up. This gives them a huge advantage to get out of this.

Wes still with his panties in a wad about not being able to go to the games this weekend?

 

[LordVOLdemort]

I guess I feel different than everyone else. After Moore whiffed at that pitch, I felt a strikeout was all but certain. The lightning delay allows him to calm down and get his head ready for the next pitch. We were terrible and have hit 1 ball ALL DAY.

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

Lightening delay…

Pray for darkening.

 

[Ttucke11]

Oh good lord.

Good lord what? These storms were projected all week. Everyone knew we would be in multiple weather delays with this decision.

 

[LakeMaryFLVol]

So when does the game start? Because no one from UT showed up yet

We know that. But the best inning we have had with the hottest hitter we have had comes back to a new pitcher. Pitcher wins that battle 98 percent of the time. May help in the next inning or later but that’s just hopIng. You have a kid just now through the lineup for the 2nd time and he starts to miss and struggle. How is it an advantage?

 

[VolGee4]

Yes, it was discussed on Monday and Tuesday.

 

[LordVOLdemort]

I bet EVERYBODY in Bama has that atrocity of a hat. Or at least the flea market replica of it

Thanks for making it binary. There must be no other variables.

 

[Aerie Vol]

C-Mo with two strikes against a guy who we can't tell any difference between the heat and the change up. Some of y'all.....lol.

Like there's no pressure on a new pitcher to come in and not walk the bases loaded for Burke to tie it up.

 

[Jax_Vol]

USM resume stinks. They beat no SEC teams and haven't played near our schedule.

they looking pretty solid to me.

 

[Caz]

Hell of a short stop, that’s about it.

Great at SS, but should be about a ‘7 spot hitter imo

 

[Christian Lowe]

We look retarded still talking **** about it being absolutely embarrassed by them on the field right now too

 

[Vtonerider]

Yeah pretty strong chance Moore strikes out having a 2-2 count and not being at bat for an hour. And that’s inning over.

Metrics on that are unclear.

 

[LordVOLdemort]

Exactly! So far, we’ve done NOTHING to show this should have been played in Knoxville.

Long term this delay is probably good for Tennessee. But short term I’ll just have to disagree with you. The delay advantages pitching. For Moore to come back with 2 strikes on him and having to protect the plate against a new pitcher he won’t have seen, it’s asking a lot for him to not strike out. He’ll have zero chance to feel the at bat out. Maybe he crushes one on the first pitch, but it certainly will be a lot tougher for him.
