The worst part of facing FSU again

[Vfl2407]

is how many times we will see and hear about the “check swing” from Friday.
I’d put the over/under at about 50.

FSU is coming for the Vols with Karma ridin shotgun. CMO: “Let’s fight!”

And every single time it won’t matter, because WE WON!!!!

 

[Zues1]

No the worst part is the slobbing of Link.

 

[Bigvalley84]

Be careful what you ask for , we probably the worst defensive game all season against FSU and walked 9 batters I think

 

[DownTheField]

Will they pitch their ace again?

FSU has to weigh a lot more than we do in regards to their pitching. If they do use Arnold and win then they're without him for game two and potentially the weekend championship. I think they will try to win tomorrow without and then try to use him on Thursday if that game is needed. But, who knows.

 

[TnVol!]

Bring"em on.

They have to win game 1, first, so they'll fire all their bullets if they're available. If they save him for game 2 a day later on Thursday, that puts his weekend availability in greater jeopardy than pitching him on Wednesday. Their season is on the line tomorrow first and foremost...Arnold will go on 4 days rest if necessary, perhaps with a pitch count.

I hope so. They have about burned him out. His velo is down from a month ago.

I love how Tony and Frank protect our pitchers throughout the season.

Agree.

It was about that bad. Plug that up....they'll feel the pressure. No gimmies....they're too good for that.

I agree. My thought is that 4 days rest is not enough. May try to get that 1 extra day in. Also, if I remember correctly, wasn't their reliever who came in also a starting pitcher?

Good thing is we’ve already seen Arnold and scored 6 off of him so we ain’t skeered

It was a really bad performance in 2 phases of the game (pitching and defense).

Whittaker. They burned him.

 

[Vol4lif3]

Our pitching is much improved from last time Tennessee fires on all cylinders it’s a blowout

 

[kell7517]

10, but who's counting at that point. It was a really bad performance in 2 phases of the game (pitching and defense).

No one is but

Umps already made the makeup call against Burke in the Carolina game. We'll see if karma was appeased by their sacrifice...

Whittaker was the reliever that followed Arnold. He's been a spot starter throughout the season, but their two main guys are Arnold and Carson Dorsey. Dorsey pitched Sunday in the elimination game against UVA. Whittaker pitched today against UNC and threw 21 pitches giving up a 3-run homer to Vance Honeycutt and looking like slaw, tbh. So, I'd say Dorsey and Whittaker are out. Cam Leiter is hurt and yet to appear in any games. My guess is that Arnold starts tomorrow, probably on a 70-pitch count. Then, if necessary, you'll see Dorsey on Thursday on a similar pitch count. Noles are desperate and short on arms.

I stand corrected

Played worst game we have played in 3 months. Be alot different tomorrow!!!

 

[vavolfan6]

I really don't think our pitching was bad against FSU. I think our fielding was poor and FSU is simply a good hitting team. We really just had one inning where we fell apart and let FSU score 6.

Once we get about 5 runs ahead, they won't be hung up on a 50/50 call from last week.
