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

[JCP201]

Positives; Burke, Ensley, Dylan D, Curley... We battled their closer really well and may not be able to pitch tomorrow. Loy did great. Tony managed the game as well as he could with all those runs, I felt.

 

[I4Vols]

Damn. Hope Beam has his A game tomorrow.

Need CMO & Tears to show up

Hope our D has an A game the next two days

 

[vols 30]

Yeah...gave up 12 hits....legit

I'm sure glad we base it off one game and not the entire season.

 

[Bryan1]

3 errors story of the game…………

Yep, 5 run 3rd inning!

 

[LordVOLdemort]

3 errors story of the game…………

Combined 0-10 for CMO and Tears

 

[vol66]

On the bright side, Marcus and Loy pitched well.

 

[Weezer]

Still love my Vols!

 

[Alto1]

17 KO’s won’t win very many ball games.
Much less several looking………

 

[barney]

Gotta get Ensley back in the outfield

Those early errors out there really hurt us

 

[Orangeslide]

He won’t pitch tomorrow.

Might be pushing it for game 3.

He will pitch in game 3 if they need him.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

That A&M pitching staff is legit.

It’s better than ours. More consistent at least.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

The heat is now on. No room for errors now. I was disappointed at the effort tonight on both offense and defense.

 

[DirtyDawg]

Good grief, I have to rely on a dirty dawg for reason and common sense. SMH.

Oh yeah, I have loads of common sense! Except for when it comes to matters of chasing my tail. I really wish my tail wasn’t bobbed, it’s just not a fair game with my face being the way it is.

 

[VOLED]

Hope we come out focused tomorrow. So many mental errors and bad at-bats.

 

[Orange.]

Well at least we did some damage in the 9th

Think the pitch count got high enough on this guy?

46 pitches

 

[vol94]

Combined 0-10 for CMO and Tears

Ouch. I would have bet the house that wouldn’t have occurred.

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

There was no chance with this ump

This wasnt on the ump. He didnt help but we just didnt show up ready. We missed spots pitching-wise wayy too many times, we didnt punish them enough when they did the same. We didnt field cleanly, we didnt have good approaches in clutch situations. Just didnt do nearly enough right today.

 

[DaddyChad]

Had nothing to do with the ump. Unless he was pitching for UT tonight.

What’s sad is you believe the ump didn’t affect the game.

 

[vol94]

46 pitches

How many more can he go tomorrow?

 

[volfever007]

Yeah...gave up 12 hits....legit

What does that say about ours then?

 

[dale1998]

3 errors. Bottom line

No surprise.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

We have to get over this very quickly. I didn't like the body language of the team.

 

[Volatile68]

It’s better than ours. More consistent at least.

Yeah far better.

 

[BruisedOrange]

Yes.

Feel free to change your mind and read along between innings or whatever suits you.

Tomorrow, not posting any words that start with a backward K.

 

[vavolfan6]

It felt like every bounce went A&Ms way. Even with C Moore and Tears going for 0 hits and 0 BB, we got on base almost just as much as them. I think this game just awakens the tiger in our team. We don't lose back to back games and good teams don't.
