Yikes. Evan not available tonight.

 

[Volstylexx]

Brother just called. What’s up with Evan not playing

 

[vol66]

Pretty cool

That’s what it’s all about right there. Thanks!

 

[volz2wallz]

Yikes. Evan not available tonight.

Wonder violation of team rules?

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Oh no. That is NOT good. “Vitello will address his status after the game.” That doesn’t sound like promising news.

 

[BP4Prez]

Yikes. Evan not available tonight.

Oh wonderful

What do we know about Taylor?

 

[TheMookieMonster]

What a disaster it would be if the only place we lack depth on this roster sees a season-ending injury to our starter right at the start of the post-season.

 

[vol66]

Lol, ya know, jumping to a conclusion with no information at all is kinda silly. Charlie will be fine.

 

[TN_gal]

Oh no. That is NOT good. “Vitello will address his status after the game.” That doesn’t sound like promising news.

He looked fine during his press availability yesterday. But yikes.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

He looked fine during his press availability yesterday. But yikes.

The only thing I can hope for is a violation of team rules and Vitello is trying to make a point to his team, but that Evan will be back tomorrow.

 

[Jax_Vol]

Oh wonderful

What do we know about Taylor?

If he fell out of a boat, he couldn't hit water.

But, a nice young man.

 

[TN_gal]

Oh wonderful

What do we know about Taylor?

He's our midweek catcher and has done a solid job. He's struggled at the plate though.

 

[BP4Prez]

If he fell out of a boat, he couldn't hit water.

But, a nice young man.

Can he catch and throw the ball?

 

[preacherman20]

Wearing my new VF jersey

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Y’all happy now ?

Since the the tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1999, #1 overall seed has never lost their opening game.

HAHAHA oh man I try to avoid ironing at all costs, but I feel better knowing you're looking fresh out there!!!!!!

Fun fact. I don’t own an iron

 

[chef3531]

They make irons for that.. lol

Heat, humidity, and sweat take those wrinkles right out

 

[JCP201]

Tennessee makes major decision about Evan Russell's availability vs. Alabama State

SIAP, but what?????

 

[Jax_Vol]

Scouting report on our opponents:

Good looking ballclub. Champions of the SWAG conference. They have a catcher from Slydell, LA who looks a bit like Jordan Beck....same size 6'4" 230 pounds, and matching mullet. Number 5 in your programs.

 

[chef3531]

Oh wonderful

What do we know about Taylor?

He can't hit lol

 

[Volunteer08]

Fun fact. I don’t own an iron

Neither do I!

 

[Jax_Vol]

Can he catch and throw the ball?

Yes! Probably a better arm than Evan. Just batting like .068 or such...three hits on the year against mid-week pitching.

Wish Jarad Dickey was healthy enough to catch.

 

[Volunteer08]

Evan Russell doesn't seem like the team rules breaker. My guess is a covid related positive test.
