Good grief! Vols down 3-4. Burke couldn't snag that throw. E6.

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

Everything seems a little off. Find some bats.

 

[volplaya8]

First time almost all year Blake has not picked that at first…we are fine still ladies and gents!

 

[87&91ALUM]

Defense is offensive....cmon Vols!

 

[WillisWG]

crap....well let's get all this bs out of our system

 

[chuckiepoo]

Caylan refering to small ball and bunting as smart. Just not sure what to say… @txbo , I’d like to report another traitor. Standby. The Keystone Vols have invaded…

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Well end inning down 4-3... We better come to play now

 

[2EastTnVols]

Alright let’s put up a 20 spot

 

[volplaya8]

Behnke came in with bases loaded and didn’t give up a single hit or ball out of the infield! That will get you weekend opportunities!

 

[87&91ALUM]

There ya go Behnke. Let's put up some big numbers here Vols. Still got 5 innings left.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Wouldn’t hurt to get some better arms. These guys can’t stop giving up runs. Just like the weekend.

 

[TechnoVol]

4 runs on 1 hit... Sigh.

 

[fryeguy93]

Were we due midweek stinker after an emotional weekend?

 

[WillisWG]

aight let's fill this frame

 

[Aerie Vol]

Saw this coming a mile away. Let down after huge weekend series win. WCU don't suck.

We can wake up and still win.

 

[chuckiepoo]

Pretty awful inning here

Deep breath. …igbok, I hope!

 

[volfannga]

Pretty awful inning here

4 runs on 1 hit. Not a good showing.

 

[volplaya8]

Were we due midweek stinker after an emotional weekend?

Yes but we ain’t gonna lose baby!

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Do we always struggle with the fighting Raleigh's.

Mama says it bees that way at times.

 

[WillisWG]

Were we due midweek stinker after an emotional weekend?

I'm going with that too

 

[Ritzwatch]

It was good but tying a game against us is a moot point. Taking the lead is one thing, but they were one hit away from a lead there. I will take a tie with last at bats all day everyday.

Yeah, I liked it for them. IT guaranteed a new (tied) ballgame with a man on 3d. Then he got in. I thought is was sound strategy, but I understand those that would rather play for the big inning.

It really comes down to how the coach feels about his team and what they need at the moment.
