They just used their best arm

Did you go to UT, likely no. Are you a donor likely no. I can feel how I want to about my school. A&M didn’t us Aschenbeck tonight.

 

[barney]

I'm amazed the NCAA can't find better umps for the ****ing world series

 

[Ritzwatch]

I think you shouldn't want that

Yeah, count me as a vote for life. That’s two.

 

[Proud Army Wife]

I’ll be honest, I’m not sure if this is easier or harder to watch sober. 515 days today, but a beer sounds nice after a *** whoopin like this

Do you partake in ganja?

 

[vols 30]

Can we get rid of Amicks walk up music I am tired of it

Agree. That song sucked way before he was even born

 

[LordVOLdemort]

I’m with ya & I’m only at 10 months today

Congrats! Keep up the good work. It gets easier every day!

The old timers tell it straight. Baseball can be flukey, sh-- happens out of nowhere, the best team doesn't always win, a team can and will have an off night, and that's why we play series not single games. In short, it's baseball.

Exactly! The best team in the country hasn't won the whole thing since 1999. Im hoping thats different for Tennessees sake.Look at the majors with wildcard teams winning it all.

It's definitely a crazy and unpredictable game, and the best teams don't always win. That's why it's one of my favorite sports.

I am a donor, but how is that relevant?

 

[firestorm]

A walk

What do you tell the guys in the locker room after a performance like this? Tony V, this is why you’re paid the big bucks.. tough one tonight. Tip hat to A&M.

You tell them to forget about it. And forget about it quickly. Tomorrow is another day. LSU got beat to smithereens in game 2 of the finals last year. Dylan Crews posted to X immediately after the game and said “we’ve already forgotten about it.” They came out in game 3 and beat the doors off Florida to win the NC. The Vols will do the same thing tomorrow to force a game 3.

 

[dale1998]

You just have to look at it like you’re in semi’s now. Win 2 in a row and your champions.

 

[2EastTnVols]

Not our night, but I'll defer to the judgment of the guys that got us 58 wins thus far. If they get 9 runs and 15 odd hits tomorrow I'll kiss your ass. We will fight

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Really need to get into their pen, even if we don't win.

 

[barney]

Hey at least Amick isn't doing little league stuff in his ABs anymore

 

[Volatile68]

You said this game was over in the 1st inning. It's stupid. Just own it

Have we led since the first inning? Ok then. My point is true.

 

[Jravol78]

Congrats! Keep up the good work. It gets easier every day!

Congrats to you too !

 

[patrick]

Wow got on base.

 

[utvolpj]

He's not a starter. Everyone knows they're talking about starters

 

[patrick]

Pitcher struggling.

 

[LordVOLdemort]

Do you partake in ganja?

Unfortunately, my job says I can’t! I do smoke a nice cigar occasionally.

 

[Proud Army Wife]

I agree with his first two statements. The last one might should send him to the Motel 6

I’m close Voldy, I’m close. This is why I don’t watch TN games with him lol. I’m convinced he just likes making me mad.

 

[BillyHoyleVol]

Can't blame the Umpire all night. Yes he has had a crap zone. Our hitters need to swing, they should know enough zone 4 times through the order. Have a better approach

I agree 100%…baseball is incredibly difficult…don’t need any extra outside factors when you’re trying to rally, but you’ve got to try to bat on ball at some point and just see what happens. More than changing approaches, we’ve got to manage emotions. Body language plays and our guys are visibly frustrated and feeling the heat.

Vols will have a harder time tomorrow against their pitching....They won't throw their best sub 2 era reliever tonight

 

[firestorm]

Can’t deny I’m not depressed watching Mexico lead Jamaica in a Men’s Soccer game.

Go Vols
Please find the ability to comeback.

Too many teams in the playoffs.
