Good game. I like the fight back down late .

 

[WillisWG]

Piggies 10-3 W

 

[vol66]

LSU up 4-3 over TAMU

 

[VolPack22]

Great rally but piss poor defense and a slumping offense killed us this game. Gotta come out ready to go tomorrow to keep pace with the SEC leaders.

 

[Tenacjim]

Billy hit a HR tonight lol

He also hit one Tuesday night!

 

[Weezer]

As cold as KT's bat has been lately, I might have tried PH someone else. Especially since he's banged up.

 

[BradentonVol]

LSU just went up on A/M
4-3

 

[ENGRVOL]

Dang it. Well winning on the road in the sec is hard and going 1-1 for the day isn’t bad. Let’s win our 7th series in a row tomorrow

 

[wmcovol]

Preds lose 1-0 on a goal with 1 min left and Vols with the second kick to our nuts tonight

Preds really try hard to win big as an organization unlike the other pro team here but they can really kick you in the balls.

0-3 at home in the playoffs.

3 of our 9 losses now are with Jeff Head behind home plate. Just a small factoid lol

That’s a very interesting factoid.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Billy hit a HR tonight lol

lol that’s right. I’m used to more than 1 per game

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

I don’t recall. I umpired many years ago but that was before reviews or challenges. I think the end result would have been a double play regardless.

If the call in fact hit the ground they never forced or tagged the batter.

 

[VolPack22]

Full game back of Arkansas for the 1 seed. 0.5 game back from Kentucky. Hopefully the LSU-A&M score holds true. Hoping for a Vols series win tomorrow and Arkansas-Kentucky to split their remaining 2 games. Would be awesome to come out of this weekend tied for the 1 seed with 6 left to play.

Tough night , we have seen a steady diet of off speed the last two weeks , we need to make adjustments , the ump wasn’t very good giving high strikes all night , we got rang up several times on bad pitches , funny the crew chief if the worst one of the bunch behind the plate

He’s atrocious behind the plate. Tony undressed him in 2019 at Hoover when he lost track of balls and strikes and had to go to replay to determine that we did in fact earn a walk. He’s likely not forgotten that; clearly I haven’t lol.

Tough loss for Drew. He pitched pretty well overall. Defense let him down with extra outs.

Well, let’s hope the guy tomorrow is better!

I don’t mind it. We needed 2 runs and he gave us the best opportunity of closing the gap due to his power hitting.

 

[vol94]

Frustrating 15 min.

Preds lose again by giving up a goal late in game and then my Vols lose. I thought this would be a weekend sweep.

Oh well. Win tomorrow and take the series.

Thanks for the game thread!

He's awful

Jeff Head gives head

 

[VolGee4]

I put it in bold, italics, bigger font and even gave it a blood red color so you guys can stop acting like I said something I never did.

Except that you keep saying Baum Walker is bigger- it’s bigger by 10 feet straight away. The lines are the SAME. They’ve also hit 60 less HR’s than us.

Vandy’s is 310 down the left field line- 10 feet shorter than ours. It’s 10 feet further down right field.

Akabama’s field is literally the same exact dimensions as ours. Auburn has the high left field wall at 315 and shorter in center. Florida’s is 6 feet further down left, and one foot further down right. It’s not like ours is so much smaller.

I don’t think a double play can be assumed. I’m pretty sure you actually have to make the double play. The ump can’t say “well, he would have thrown him out anyway.” On that play, the ball was not caught and the batter was not thrown out at 1st. We missed an opportunity to review that one. Maybe there’s some strange rule about that kind of play not being reviewable?

 

[VolPack22]

Jeff Head gives head

I did see him with Sully before the game

 

[VolPack22]

LSU now up 6-3 in the 7th
