Matchup info available now

Who else was on the coaching list to be Tennessee's head coach when Raleigh was hired by Hamilton?

Thanks for any information.

interesting lineup for tonight’s game… Resting typical starters at 2B, SS, 3B, DH, and LF.

 

[SGMVols]

Wholesale lineup changes today. Doesn’t seem like Tony buys into the lame “cold weather” excuse for the poor showing in CoMo. Looks like he’s making a statement to some guys that they have to be better.

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

No Dickey and Maui today?

 

[SGMVols]

This lineup is the baseball version of when Pat Summitt kicked her team out of the posh locker room at TBA because she was pissed at their performance.

No Dickey, Maui, Denton, Moore, or Merritt.

Only thing is sometimes the problem is not effort. Dickey doesn't strike me as a someone not giving 100%.

Some might need a rest but for others, maybe a message is being sent? Losing or making mistakes is one thing. You go through the motions and fail to compete and you won't be playing.

Time for the players to learn from the past weekend and not let their egos get in the way.
I have faith in Vitello and the boys.

I know Mizzou plays in those conditions, but they weren't layered up. Was it that cold that we were bundled up like we were heading out for a dog sled race instead of a baseball game? I can see it affecting pitchers due to the wind, grip and staying loose, but it looked like some just didn't want to be out there. Bad body language. Losing is one thing, but when you don't look like you want to compete, that's a different kettle of fish.

Not necessarily buying the scorched earth wholesale changes, Maui and CMoore had 70% of the hits last weekend and Burke didn‘t hit at all.….

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

[DownTheField]

I betting CTV has discussed the lineup with the players mentioned. Bottom line is the team has underperformed in sec play.

 

[Ned Land]

Even Andy Brock has been shown the pines.
