The Official Tennessee vs S. Miss Super Regional Game 2 Thread 3PM EST ESPN

[VolunteerCeltic]

Gosh, I love this place. GBO!

Hey, you posted my comment, I thought it was pretty witty. Right after this was posted was when Dolly got his stuff together and started to deliver. I can't take responsibility for it but I will!

 

[chuckiepoo]

That pretty much sums it up, they really aren’t as big as fans as they think they are either…..being disgusted is part of it, still believing you have a chance is the other.

Todd reflected on negativity vs positivity toward the end of the game. Said it was a huge challenge to stay positive and focused.

Sorry; reviewing the thread after the game and I can’t just let this one slip by. You obviously know nothing about baseball. When a left handed batter is hitting and someone steals second, it’s the SS’s job to cover the bag. The USM hitter either got lucky or did an outstanding job hitting the ball into the “hole” vacated by the SS when he went to cover the bag. My apologies if someone else has already pointed out the idiocy of your statement. And if my reply seems a little harsh - sorry, you left it hanging over the plate and I “Blake Burked” it into the church parking lot.

Still disagree. I coach never to leave your spot until after ball is hit or gets by batter. Play the ball first.

Cal swinging at ball 3 lol

Ended up being a huge AB

Had to listen on the way home. So glad they lived to play another day. Hopefully we get the Beam we are used to seeing tomorrow

Stand by my comment. Guy gives up too many home runs, and at less than ideal times, for being as good as people claim.

He recovered and good for him. I would have been good with a decision to pull him. Bullpen is too deep to have guys giving up stuff like that.

Wait until he goes 1st round!

The baseball forum is no different than the football or basketball forums. When things arent going good fans complain because more than likely they are watching alone and they dont have anyone to go back and forth with and let out the frustration. I myself watch alone and this is an outlet. Doesnt mean we dont think there is a chance of winning. It just means we are passionate and we are talking about the game through text. And sorry but translation in text gets misinterpreted very easily. So the fans that say anyone who complains isnt as big a fan is complete BS. I would rather have a passionate fan that also shows their dislike for a situation over the sunshine pumpers you get from the blue hairs in the ladies basketball forum. So enough with the im a better fan than you just because i show it differently. Ive watched every pitch and every at bat for the last several years. Pretty sure im a diehard fan or i would find something better to do with my time. Either way GO BIG ORANGE. Lets win game three and move on to Omaha.

Has Burke's ball come down yet?

If you do that, then it is impossible to get in position to cover the bag. When the runner goes, it is either SS or 2B that has to go cover depending on the batter. It was a hit-run and executed perfectly to the vacated hole left by the SS. I those instances, you just 'tip your cap' and say job well done.
JMO. Either way, we got the "W" and live to play another day!

Go Vols!!

At the D1 level, if a SS waits until the pitch, he would never get to the bag in time for the throw.

Well said. It's either complain here or to my wife. Pretty easy decision

 

[drvenner]

Yeoman effort by Dolly. We needed those innings and he got up off the deck and pitched his ass off.

Movie on the flight isn't over yet, dinner service to follow

If that’s the case, then I doubt your catchers ever throw out many runners since no one’s covering the bag.

What were the fans ejected for?

 

[drvenner]

Receipts

I agree. But we aren’t prepared at the plate at all or these pitchers.

Plain awful at bats.

This team is done.

They’re done, arguing with the umps, looking defeated already, if USM scored here 1 run will feel like 10

Lol. It’s over.

Ensley did it again, and that’s it folks

This team just isn't very good.

Just pack up the bus and go home. They dont want it

Dollander about to get smoked

And stark and burke.

We are gonna get killed today. And I expect tony to get ejected. This entire series has been embarrassing

This team knows it is done

Well, it’s been fun. Good night

Ball game.

once again vols choke in the post season

Whelp. Maybe they'll get their together next season.

Should have pulled Doo after the 1st run.

We didn’t “choke”. Hard to choke when you never show up

Ballgame GG!

Watching this crap i feel sorry for Clemson. They would have put this team away.

cant't wait for the 1-2-3 top of the 4th

The team was satisfied to just make it out of the Clemson Regional.

Here comes a bunt and zero runs.

K incoming.

You can cheat without going all in. Oh well… I’ll concede. If that’s the way he’s coached he made the right play.

 

[vol94]

This game is not over - but I suspect we need to hold it at 4 runs . . . And have an immediate response at our next at bat and at least get a few runs.

We have a winner. A Vol fan who never gave up!

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Has Burke's ball come down yet?

Pretty sure it crossed over Omaha a few minutes ago

The team knew.it was done losing at that point...

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

People will get their underoos in a wad when Vol fans get upset aboutthat things don't go the Vols way in any sport. The truth of the matter is that Volunteer fans will volunteer their comments any time they want, both sunshine pumpers and negavols, it's called being a fan. To criticize people because they state emotional Internet responses during the heat of battle is silly. We all bleed Orange!

 

[Orange.]

Hall gone...rest of the series advantage Tennessee

Glad we beat Hall. We were ahead when he left. Our 6-run inning was a crusher!

 

[gnm53108]

If that’s the case, then I doubt your catchers ever throw out many runners since no one’s covering the bag.

Heh…a few at 2nd. 3rd is a different story.

How long til espn has the replay and wheels has his highlights?
