The Official #1 Tennessee vs GA Tech Regional Game Thread Sunday June 5th (7PM EST ESPNU)

[DooleyOrangePants]

We needed to move the runner to force a choice for Georgia Tech. I'm surprised we didn't take the first pitch.

I was wondering why we didn’t try to move the runner and take that option away. Risk/Reward.

Mabrey is throwing the gas tonight. We good. Just gotta keep chipping away. This is a good team.

Gilbert shouldn't have swung at that on 3-0 after the pitcher just walked a guy!! He needs to be more disciplined.

 

[BreatheUT]

Why jump on first pitch, make him deliver a few to you

Exactly. Made zero sense. And you can potentially steal the base.

 

[Titan05]

4-3 Tech ... going to the B 6th.

7th

They've all done it

1st baseman bobbled that… did he catch it the second time before Ortega got there?

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Literally every break is against us tonight. We just can’t get anything going.

Bad umping combined with we are making way too many mistakes. The hitting discipline has been awful tonight.

 

[Weezer]

Still more game to go and Snuffleupagus no longer on the mound.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

ESPN stream is hella far behind.

Hopefully that pitcher falls apart in the next inning like he did Friday against Campbell. 2 on with no outs and Drew ahead in the count, definitely not a good inning to walk away with just 1 run.

 

[VolMarine1371]

Easy…for a batter/runner to be called “safe”, he must beat the ball to the bag. Period. Ya good now?

But what happens when they simultaneously hit the bag. Who “should” get the benefit of the doubt.

 

[Franklin_Vol09]

Wow. This game is exciting. That double
Play hurt so bad. Tech has just been efficient enough.

 

[DC_Vol]

We cut the lead to 1. I’d have liked a lot more there, but winning this game is still within reach.

 

[chef3531]

??? Burke is the DH tonight.

Yes, and he hasn't come close to hitting anything. 3Ks. Dickey should take his spot

 

[VFL1127]

Good grief Ortega amd what the heck is Burke swinging at tonight?

 

[C-south]

It doesn’t. The rule states that the runner has to beat the throw.

No it says tie doesn’t go to the runner which means it’s the umps discretion. I guess.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Cortland…….you’re kidding me

Feel you, doesn’t matter.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Just now seeing that replay. That's not even a tie. It's a clear SAFE.

Too close to tell IMO. But I always thought the tie went to the runner.

 

[Weezer]

What is up with Lawson??

 

[volman128]

Lawson playing like garbage

 

[imw8n4u]

Crap!

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Lawson WTH

 

[VolFanGBO]

[DooleyOrangePants]

Good lord Lawson….that hurts
