After watching both games I would say that we lost the first one mainly due to fielding errors and really weird hops of the ball. Most of their runs were after an error or one of those pop-up off the pitchers mound freak incidences. In the second game, no errors, no weird ball hops, and we really shut them out with the exception of one early pitch. If we play an errorless game today, I think we have the advantage. And a big shout out to the players making the A&M pitchers have to really work to get them out. Its one thing to strike out. It's another to strike out after making the pitcher have to throw 10 to 15 times.

Pretty hard to win a baseball game giving up 5 runs in the third inning, 17 strikeouts, and the multiple fielding errors.
Also the offense being very anemic for 6 innings because 2 runs.

Texas is getting a double whammy: Tennessee and Texas A&M being in the championship has to be really chapping their a$$.

I just read on Twitter they fired their coach and think they are getting Schloss? Weren't they after Tony, too? Any one with sense would not go there. They are coach destroyers.

Congrats on a great game yesterday, Vols. I was disappointed, yes, and remain hopeful about tonight's game, but whoever comes out on top, these are two terrific teams. It's been since 1951 for y'all and never for us, so woo-hoo if it's you!

But if it's the Ags despite injuries, that's a woo-hoo and a Gig 'em!

You’re right about Cortez, he had crazy movement at times.
He is a damn good arm!

I personally thought Cortez threw as well as any pitcher we'd seen all year. Vols kinda set on his slider and the hits we got came off the slider. His heater had more run on it than I've seen all CWS I think. I was glad when he exited the game for sure.

Is it just me or does the infield, which is natural turf, seem inconsistent? Not making excuses for game One infield defense (BA throw to first had nothing to do with a bad hop i dont think) but the ball did seem to take different bounces on several balls.

I am friking over TX and their shenanigans. Trying to take the spotlight on the last day of finals. 🤬

The hatred between the two fanbases is toxic. There is no out of bounds when it comes to taking shots at each other. They would turn on family members to gain an edge. Auburn vs Bama 2. Texas is the entitlement capital of the USA. No use for the whole damn state.

They feel like every coach would crawl to them. Longhorns suck! They don’t belong in the SEC. They should lobby to join the Ivy since they are so damn entitled. They can take the grey poupon mustard and spread it on their a$$.

OU sports radio is saying the two names being thrown around are both coaching tonight. Texas will drop a monster offer because well…they can.

OU sports is sitting at home with nothing to do but troll. Weird they get sucked into to trolling for Tejas of all team. Not too bright, I guess.

They are an odd bunch over there at College Station. I had direct line of sight of their yell squad or whatever it is called last year in Neyland. It was... interesting.

They are a cult following for sure. Who the hell thinks blowing bubbles at a baseball game is intimidating. I must admit their ball 5 chant is funny as hell. Has to be annoying as hell for the pitcher. Wonder what’s the highest number they’ve got to with their ball chant?

Definitely. But they aren’t above dropping that news today to mess with A&M. You know the players and the school see Texas’ poaching of Schloss as a real possibility.

I hope he doesn't go there. Texas AM has money, pay the man. (Edit, but better him then Vitello) Texas needs to realize they are in the SEC now, and their entitlement should be over.

I don't know but Combs made me laugh with his comments about it.

I haven't kept up with the whole thread but, wanted to add a weather report. 107 heat index today and that is heat stroke weather if you are not drinking a lot of water, avoiding a lot of alcohol, and seeking shade/HVAC. The gates open at 4:00 so that is a couple of the hottest hours of the day. Please protect yourself from the weather so you can cheer on the Vols. Wish I was there with you. Thanks for your commitment by being in Omaha to watch the Vols take the trophy and claim "National Champions". GBO VFL! Omaha, NE Weather Conditions | Weather Underground
