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

What you say is spot on.

Yeah. It’s been one of the decisions Tony has been making that I have understood the least. Dreiling looks very comfortable at the plate and has had great approaches, but he’s not played much. I don’t envy the difficult nature of balancing this lineup, but it’s to the point where I wonder if it’s not worth putting Dickey back at catcher so you can keep Merrit at DH and play Dreiling. Stark hasn’t provided a ton at the dish, although his catching has been pretty great lately.

I don’t pretend to know what the right answer is. But we have a few guys scuffling at the plate right now and we need all the juice we can get. Too often it feels like this lineup has been scoring 10+ runs or 1 run. We need a middle ground in post-season play if we want to advance. You can’t count on having scorching at bats for an entire month and this team needs to find ways to win games where you’re score 3-4 runs.
 
3-0? One hit? ONE? Welp, I guess I didn't miss much. Dayum, if this team isn't every bit as maddening as the basketball team.

I don’t understand how Tears isnt playing right field. Dickey behind the plate. Dreiling or Merritt in LF and the other DH.

inconsistency at the plate has been the crux of this team all year. I agree a change in the lineup could help

Burke is lost at the plate. There is a hierarchy here and at most schools. Dreiling has to be playing, whether it is DH or elsewhere. Unfortunately, there are some who just are protected and won’t sit.
 
I'm just sitting here letting it soak in and pondering.

If we somehow win this one, it will be one for the storybooks.

If we take a regional somewhere, with our road record, it will be one for the storybooks. It's almost like there's only upside potential at this point.

I hope our guys come out having fun and absolutely shock some people going forward.
 
Good. I am down to the wire for canceling or keeping hotel reservations....

Just AirBnB or VRBO a Trailer. I’m sure there are tons in Alabama to rent out. They accept cigarettes and lottery tickets as payment. The owner can go sleep with I mean stay at his sisters trailer.
