The Official Tennessee vs Texas A&M Round 1 SEC Tourney Game Thread (Tues. 1:45PM EST SEC NETWORK)

[OrngeJuiceJones]

with the except of the last 2 years, we have absolutely sucked in Hoover

 

[LivinginthePast]

They aren’t going to win the SEC and even if they did like last year it didn’t translate to wins in the WS so no it is largely irrelevant

We need the rest. One and done is fine with me.

Lol. Maui is hitting 321 and leads the team in doubles.

He's also got a strikeout average of 365. 60 strikeouts in 164 AB. Almost twice the strikeouts to BB. I wouldn't call those ideal leadoff stats. Rooting for the guy but I don't see the spark. Maybe move him down and take some pressure off. No doubt the way his year started with the NCAA and the hype put plenty on him.

 

[Adam Sandler]

yes

Well this blows. Would imagine no chance at hosting a regional if so.

 

[greasemachine]

If we lose to tamu are we out of sec tourney?

Yes

 

[BigALWiLson]

We don't have a get-on-base guy, unless it's Dickey. But his bat at #1 sees fewer base runners to drive in.

He is a 3 or 4 hole guy IMO. We need hitters or a damn hitting coach. Contact......... you can't hit a baseball with your bat on the shoulder. Elander hasn't looked good imo. Too many blunders on the bases followed by poor hitting efforts. Not down on the guy and im sure he does some really good things. Just that this season when actually having to coach young guys it hasnt paid off

Lol. I literally am only saying to move him out of the leadoff slot! And if it hurts his feelings Jaslove would love to play. Maui should be in the 7 or 8 hole. Period.

Could we please take the bats out of their wrappers?

I agree. Why in the world did CTV move him back there today against a left-hander?

rain delay gave us plenty of time to come up with a plan

Hell we have rarely got there except the recent past

You mean travel plan’s home?

Day 1 of Hoover is a crap shoot for everyone.

We hit fast balls very well. We can not hit off speed stuff, maybe because we have mostly fast ball pitchers on our staff. I guess we don’t get enough off speed stuff to read the quickly read the pitch. A pitcher who can throw the heat, but also throws the breaking balls for strikes can give us a lot of problems.

Maybe we need some of Jobu's rum.

 

[mattdingus2002]

Good news is the new stadium renderings for RF look good

So, here's what I came up with....how about if Maui hits a walk-off grand slam in bottom of 9th?

 

[txbo]

That pitcher is going to give everyone in college baseball problems.

I don’t know about the team, but I could use some.

 

[cwbytruckers]

I am hearing we get a redo and game will start over.

We need to pay rubber armed Kirby to throw us two hours of batting practice per day. Some of our guys seem totally mystified by the aerodynamics of a spinning baseball.

Would take!

Yeah!! I also read that somewhere on the internet. Al Gore approved the message.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

So does no one know who coaches the guys on batting?

I would think all involved, except for Anderson.
