The Official Texas A&M @ #1 Tennessee National Championship Game 1 Thread (Sat. June 22 7:30 EST) (ESPN)

Definitely low

He has called them there all night. the hitters need to adjust

 

[theroyz71]

Those are legit middle strikes, Dreiling and Ensley didn't even react to them

They were looking for sliders.

 

[LordVOLdemort]

Second one looked low. Others were good.

The strike zone ends beneath the knee cap. Those were good. I agree with some of the early stuff, but that was strike zone pitching

Batters are trying to guess too much. Sometimes you just have to go up there with the expectation to hit what’s thrown to you.

 

[barney]

Maybe a&m is cheating like the rangers lol

 

[Proud Army Wife]

This ump isn’t good, that’s obvious, but Ensley and Dylan failed to put the ball in play on good pitches there.

 

[vol94]

Everyone have a good night.

Maybe tomorrow will be a better day for our Vols!

Have faith!

 

[BradstarVols]

Huge blown opportunity

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

If not now then when? Several of these players have CWS experience and high level of success over the last 3 years. Please God don't let TN start our own FSU "can't win it all streak" in the CWS.

Hard to say, pressure is highest level, players play but tough players win

100%

Umpire has frustrated Vols more than pitchers

Calling low strike you have to know that by now.

 

[Bryan1]

Damn 5th inning killed us. Only takes one. Other than that we aren’t really playing a bad game .

I think the 3rd innng is what killed em.

 

[Rocky Top T]

Taking strikes right down the middle! Pitiful!

I'd love to find the game you are watching. This has been a hot mess since batter #1 for a&m

Agree 100%

Yeah they took on a fast ball right down main street

 

[vol94]

what a choke . . .

2-10 with RISP.

Won’t win many games with stranded runners.

Umpire changes it every inning

New to baseball? They play again tomorrow regardless of the score today homeslice

 

[Orange.]

1 more, Marcus.

 

[Putbacks]

Phillips staves off self destruction

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

I just cant get over our most clutch hitters so far in this CWS just staring at strikes those last 2 ABs. WTF?!?!?

 

[patrick]

Out. And no error.

Ha! Funny and sadly true at the same time.

Would have been great to beat them in games 1 and 2 but we will just have to beat them in games 2 and 3.

Luckily that’s been our MO all year. We haven’t played well in game 1s. I feel like the times we did (Alabama), we lost the series.
