The Official UNC @ #1 Tennessee CWS Game 2 Thread (Sun. June 16) (7PM EST) (ESPN2)

No it isn’t.

Pitcher is not permitted to stop and start his windup without men on base.

A balk called with no base runners can result in a ball called.

 

[Vtonerider]

Immortal eye-black smudge!!!

 

[WillisWG]

get us started Dylan

 

[Orange931]

So you don’t believe in jinxes do you?

Nah, just a crazy fan prediction

 

[vader]

I just wanna reiterate what a bad ass catch that was

 

[Weezer]

Ensley, literally trying to run through the wall. If that doesn't get you fired up, nothing will.

 

[chuckb1448]

Let's get those Bats started Tennessee

 

[vol94]

Drew looking sharp. Nice start. I may be wrong but don’t think UNC has the same bats as Fl State. A high scoring game favors TN.

 

[spyfish007]

Two innings, 14 pitches. Sweet

16 pitches

 

[Caz]

Hunter running it down like a track star. Keep it up, we’re gonna need this effort

 

[ENGRVOL]

Beam on pace for a 72 pitch full game.

Let’s go bats

 

[Switch 625]

No it isn’t.

Pitcher is not permitted to stop and start his windup without men on base.

Yes he can. You’ll see it from time to time. A pitcher will start the windup and just step off when something doesn’t feel right or whatever. A balk is an attempt to deceive a runner.

 

[vader]

Somebody drop me a link to buy one of those

Bump for a link to the hat we’re wearing tonight

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Looks like we are starting with a different attitude in this game.

 

[patrick]

Time to hit a while. We should hammer this guy.

 

[vol94]

That was your Hunter Ensley alarm!l

A balk called with no base runners can result in a ball called.

It’s an illegal pitch if nobody is on base….there can be no actual balk with a runner on base…ok..let’s Go Vols!!!

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

Leadoff aboard

 

[VolPack22]

I wish Amick would emulate what Blake has done at the plate this year, showing patience, and not always looking to hit it a mile.

Even with the over aggressiveness he has a fantastic slash line and OPS. I’ll sacrifice some bad ABs for that type of production.

 

[Orange931]

Atta boy DD!!!!

 

[volplaya8]

DD is a pro! Yep…he sure is…what a ballplayer

 

[Volprofch05]

Take your base!

 

[Putbacks]

Dr-EYE-ling!

 

[patrick]

I understand that but starting and stopping in windup without runners on base is an illegal pitch if pitch is thrown.

Good eye Dylan!
