Will this be the thread for today's game..

Doesn't it start in about 5 minutes?

I guess they are ranked 7th for a reason.

vols1118 · 04-01-2007, 06:02 PM

We need to rebound big time next weekend.

tdtnvols2004 · 04-01-2007, 06:16 PM

A sweep over Kentucky would be nice. Don't know how good kentucky is though.

vols1118 · 04-01-2007, 06:38 PM

Kentucky is 24-4-1. 4-3-1 in SEC play.
2 losses came from Arkansas.

We are in for yet another challenge.

I was at the game on Saturday, and J.P. Arencibia did nothing to impress me. I know his hitting is fine, but as a catcher, he was below average. He had 3 opportunities to throw someone out stealing and he mailed into CF every time.

Another poor performance by Delmonico's Vols this weekend. Saturday, Delmonico (who is known for his manufacturing-run style game), had a chance to bunt Lima to second base on the bottom of the 8th, with the bottom of the lineup hitting, and instead he decides to let them hit and eventually Arkansas gets us out. IF you're going to hit instead of bunting and manufacturing the run, why not pinch-hit for the bottom of the order? I don't get that at all, much like I don't get most of his decisions.

Slick Rick says, I must steal vols1118's avatar. That is a nice looking T. I was very disappointed when I went to the game Saturday afternoon. I left the Orange and White game early to attend and it wasn't much better at Lindsey Nelson Stadium. The baseball vols need to rebound quickly after this sweep.

Yeah, that style just hasn't been working out lately. Hamilton has to be confident on his abilities to hire, so I don't think Delmonico getting axed after this year is out of the question.

I'm not calling Arkansas cheaters because in my opinion it's part of the game, but they got their stolen bases on changeups and curveballs. it was like they knew they were coming. JP was doing everything he could just to get the ball near the base in time. Just smart play by Arkansas running the bases.
