The Official #1 Tennessee vs Alabama State Regional Game Thread Friday June 3rd (6PM EST SEC NETWORK)

I wasn’t suggesting taking Alabama State lightly. Beam has been very good and pitched some big games this year. I trust him to beat Alabama State, and not just because Alabama State is one of the worst teams in the tourney. Beam is capable of pitching 6-7 shutout innings against most teams in the tourney, and if you can get that from him on Friday, I can’t imagine a better scenario for the rest of the weekend.

But you make a strong case also for starting Blade, and if it gets out of hand, go to the pen. You’re just going to probably end up using more of our top arms if you do that.

It’s not that I don’t trust Beam. I do, and I’m not slighting him or meaning to sound like I don’t think he’s a good pitcher. Clearly he is an excellent pitcher. I just think in the NCAA Tournament you pitch your best arms. He’s still young. Tidwell is experienced and knows what pitching in a regional feels like.

I think ultimately you may be right and Beam could get the start, but there is an inherent risk with using him on Friday and I’m sure Tony knows that. Can’t overlook any opponent, especially after Wright State last year. Every team is going to give you their best shot!

Thanks for posting. I know now not to drive 4 hours (302 miles) to an empty parking lot.
I see it's already hot at 87 degrees and sunny weather going on. Have a nice day.

I have told Mr. Walsh the last several weeks that if I had to face us I would send Kirby and Redmond at there for 4-5 innings each and they would give us a hard time.

Thanks. Over here in the W.TN area, we don't have access to radio programs in the East.

Damn, they will never learn. Soon Campbell. They will remember you said that.

They would be so fortunate to have the honor of playing us. They have to get by Georgia Tech first.
