Who starts tomorrow vs the Aces?

[89 VOLS grad]

Hope the Vols have an Ace in the hole themself! Have to have better pitching tomorrow! Go VOLS, hope to be CWS bound!!!

Well script says Zander.

Hope whoever starts goes about 6 or 7. That will be a great sign! I am thinking Combs first reliever. Hope these two are the only two needed for a W! GBO, get to the CWS!

 

[Volstylexx]

calling it now... what a redemption road it would be for Stamos to come in late in the game and finish it off.

Zander
Loy
Combs
Stamos
Kirby

Lots of quality innings left in this team. Going to be HUGE

 

[Fatdad32]

How depleted is their staff? Anyone got details on that?

That really hasn’t been the norm this season, but that would be great.

Hell NO to Kirby! Maybe if we are up by 10+ runs. They have seen Kirby enough now and have his number imo. The started barreling everything in his last inning yesterday. I wanna see Combs do his thing tomorrow. He seems to be the most fired up and ready to get this bad boy to Omaha.

Who has started the last,lost count, Sunday or game #3 ? You really have to ask or just wanted to start a thread? Tony has repeatedly said this is a 3 game series. Game #3 has been Zander on the mound. Whatever we do don't read Tony's post-game talk. You would have your answer as he said Zander. A thread to have a thread apparently. Regardless go VOLS!!

Is the kid from North Dakota available? Relief pitcher who pitched meaningful innings against Vandy I think??

Marcus Phillips? Yes he’s available…and every other arm except probably Beam. For one or two spot up duty. Zander will clearly start the game and I’d be surprised if he isn’t sharp.

Dislike.

DOUBLE dislike.

Vitello and Anderson should use an all hands on deck approach to the game tomorrow.

 

[@1RBFjr]

Dislike.

It’s a noob alert as well.

 

[AllThingsTN]

Tough day for the pitching staff. Rinse it and get ready for tomorrow!

TRIPLE dislike! Today was a face one man and hopefully get him. Didn't and end of conversation . Kirby would, most likely , be a situational insert tomorrow.

Bullpen Pitch Count:

Connell - 43
Behnke - 30
Snead - 28
Stamos - 27
Combs - 20

Hardly depleted at all.

 

[taylorvol]

did Kirby pitch against one batter?

Ump completely missed a great pitch for strike 3. It was a beauty and would have ended the inning! It’s baseball and umps missed calls on both sides but that was such a huge miss on a perfectly executed pitch!

 

[South Florida Vol]

Vols plenty of arms to beat Evansville. GBO and see you in Omaha.

 

[Volumnus 2011]

Pitch Counts:

Deverman - 98 last weekend, 89 this weekend
Schultz - 114 last weekend, 48 this weekend
Harris - 109 last weekend, 68 this weekend
Reed - 60 last weekend, 0 this weekend
Meyer - 38 last weekend, 70 this weekend
Fieger - 38 last weekend, 0 this weekend
Smith - 88 last weekend, 52 this weekend
Hansmann - 68 last weekend, 24 this weekend

Meyer and Harris are first and third respectively in number of appearances. Harris is pretty much their best pitcher as far as ERA goes, so we'll see him tomorrow I'm sure. Reed has third most starts, but his ERA is like 5th worst on their team. Reed started the game against ECU in which the Pirates put up 19 runs. Harris had the most pitches that game too.

Deverman is their ace, and he's likely done. Schultz is their number two, and his ERA is 5.84, and we were all over him today.

People discredit our bullpen, but I think we have better arms left by far. It could be a football score, but we have the advantage I think.

Yep, one batter, IMO that out would have ended the inning and changed the whole game. Snead came in was not up to usual self and they kept it going until NS was pulled. The beginning of the end, we gave a push at the end but like all day left players stranded on bases to end the game. New day tomorrow GBO.
