Gorgeous day here in East TN as well! Anybody heard if Blade is starting tonight?View attachment 449693

You make me what to expedite my plans for an outdoor TV..... That and UT baseball is especially fun the last two years.

I've started watching GA vs Bama game in baseball. No score top of the 2nd.

Bama is a streaky team, had won 8 in a row, now lost 4 straight.

 

[tdbigo]

That is an awesome table, did you do that yourself?

Thanks! Yeah it was an old pub table I put out on the deck a few years ago and the top had started to buckle up a little so I sanded it down and tried my hand at epoxy… the edges suck but hell it was a free table and just something to do.

Starting to think the “Tennessee Effect” is legitimate. It’s like we break these team’s spirits after we play them.

 

[VolPack22]

That pitch was below his knees. Hell of a job of hitting.

In that situation you are suppose to throw it where they don’t have a chance of hitting it and make the batter chase. I learned that in middle school. Poor execution by the pitcher and Trey made him pay.

Very nice. Well done!

 

[VolPack22]

I guess when you’re stacked 1 through 9, have 4 aces on the mound and a platoon of steady arms in the pen, you can afford to be slightly above average on the defensive end.
Gilbert and Beck are studs in the OF, Luc is usually money at 1st, Trey is solid at 3rd and Ortega seems to be coming around.
I think we’ll be ok.
GBO!!

I would say we are average in the field. There have been some great individual plays in the field this season but we do have 14 errors in 16 games. Pitching and hitting are elite but we are 8th in fielding % in SEC games. All the SEC teams combined are .975% and we are at .976%. The pitching and hitting more than makes up for the errors but it is a slight concern come postseason whenever the games are tighter.

 

[Buzzbait]

Batting averages are one thing, but that combined with base on balls, total runs scored, Slugging %, and OBP tell a more complete story.

Totally agree. Still we haven’t faced most of the better offenses in the conference. Will get an even better analysis in the next few weeks.

 

[Sam I Am]

Vols just got off the bus at ballpark.....





....and we are already up 3-0

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Another softball game for our Lady Vols starts at 4:00 pm ET. SECN+.

 

[TheBigOne10]

LSU’s defense imploding yet again

 

[VolPack22]

Everyone has their preferences on their favorite stats and for me personally I like to look at slugging % as one of the best indicator of how your offense performs. I love all the stats you mentioned but if I had to pick one, it would be slugging % because it shows that you have an explosive offense and you can have a breakout inning at any point in the game.

Great start on the double header!

[2EastTnVols]

Nah, that stuff is too powerful to lay off of.

As Jim Rome says, it's undefeated

 

[2EastTnVols]

Gorgeous here in north GA as well.

Spent a weekend at a buddy's cabin in Clayton last summer. Cool town and beautiful area, can't wait to go back.

In fact. I can’t find anyone from that crew working any SEC or ACC series

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Maybe his boss told him to take a long walk off a short pier.

[cobbwebb0710]

If this closer for LSU doesn’t make it in baseball, he definitely has a career in WWE, waiting for him.
GBO!!

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Lady Vols lead UNC Greensboro 3-2 bottom of the 2nd.
Lady Vols are at bat this bottom inning. A lead off double for the girls.

 

[fryeguy93]

Maybe his boss told him to take a long walk off a short pier.

I suspect it’s either a week off or a ump suspension that’s not made public
