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

[VolBalls33]

UT only lost back to back games once all year, back in mid March. 3 full months. Let's just get to game 3 and see what happens. Tough loss but it's not over just yet.

 

[IndianaVol]

Just seemed like our batters couldn't get timing down tonight...there were ALOT of foul balls. Those are a guy swinging too early or too late most.times.

Take the loss, learn from it, wash it off in the shower, come back tomorrow with a new attitude and get this thing !!!!

 

[Aerie Vol]

Nice effort not giving up. They burned three top arms. Need Beam badly. Gotta burn more arms of theirs tomorrow.

 

[patrick]

We got 12 Hits tonight the 3 errors is what killed us. Got to come back tomorrow focused and more relaxed.

And poor pitching when ahead in the count. Left too many balls out over the plate for AM to hammer. Cant do that against good teams.

 

[Volfan1000]

Need Beam to go at least 7 innings tomorrow afternoon.

 

[barney]

Hope the we don't get another bottomless zone tomorrow

Pitchers who throw sliders absolutely feast on that ****

 

[BreatheUT]

Gotta get Ensley back in the outfield

Those early errors out there really hurt us

Is that where the errors were?

 

[Majors]

The issue with starting Stamos they saw him a month ago. You weren’t going to fool them.

He’s not a starter…1-2 innings mid-relief

 

[Volatile68]

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

What's sad is you blaming the ump for UT giving a piss poor performance tonight.

 

[Orange931]

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.

I think we’re gonna see a different team tomorrow and Monday. We’re winning this, A&M went all in tonight.

 

[dale1998]

Can we PLEASE not just give another team 1st inning runs tomorrow? Like please? It’s been so often this post-season.

Stamos won’t be starting that is a good start.

 

[patrick]

He will pitch in game 3 if they need him.

Won’t get much out of him. 46 pitches.

 

[barney]

Is that where the errors were?

I think there were 2 on Chapman and 1 on Burke

 

[Orangeslide]

Tip of the cap to Aggies and Kent. He is on fire. We will be back tomorrow. It’s a 3 game series. I think we will get it done tomorrow.

 

[ENGRVOL]

Well if you had told me at the start of the season that we would be two wins away from a national championship with our two best pitchers coming up would have taken it in a heartbeat.

We got them right where we want them

 

[Bryan1]

Gotta get Ensley back in the outfield

Those early errors out there really hurt us

Didn't help when a runner literally walks home from 3rd and Chapman doesn't even try throwing it home.

 

[VOLED]

Combined 0-10 for CMO and Tears

And it looked worse than that

 

[BreatheUT]

Need Beam to go at least 7 innings tomorrow afternoon.

Beam gives you about 4 to 5 good innings max if you're lucky.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Tired of hearing about Jeff Kent. Tired of hearing about the Brandon Montgomery injury willing the Aggies. Tired of it all.

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

How many more can he go tomorrow?

0

 

[Bigvalley84]

Well A&M just moved to 9-0 in the tournament , we played poorly but that’s pretty impressive

 

[Delmar]

Moore and Tears 0-10 tonight. 5 K’s. Brutal.

Yep. Got to be better tomorrow for sure. We also can’t have 17 strikeouts and 3 errors. Not beating many teams doing that let alone a good team like A&M.

I will say Eshenbach has some nasty stuff. Got to give him credit. Faced 8 batters and struck out 7. One good thing though. We got his pitch count up. Might not be so good tomorrow. GBO

 

[berryvol]

Trust in Beam. Survive and advance to Monday.

 

[barney]

Didn't help when a runner literally walks home from 3rd and Chapman doesn't even try throwing it home.

Yeah he went to second instead of the scoring run lol

 

[BreatheUT]

I think there were 2 on Chapman and 1 on Burke

Dang man. Painful.
