congrats to ESPN and their announcers!

 

[Volstylexx]

numb.

 

[Freak]

Ask yourself honestly, if these guys were not wearing a Tennessee uniform if you would like these guys.

Yes. Fire. And they kicked Gator ass.

Vitello I'm sure will look back at this and question some of his moves. Throwing Joyce Friday down 8-1. Can't help but wonder why Joyce wasn't out there today.

 

[ThreatLevelOrange]

I wish Anderson was in the dugout to manage the pitchers that 7th inning.

 

[Juanita]

I'd like to give every player on the team a big hug...well, a couple of guys more than one. It' been an amazing season! Hope to see y'all in another thread. GBO!!!

 

[BJWeeks]

Sucks to have to play 60 games and then it comes to best out of 3. Need best of 7 or best of 5

 

[99gator]

Tony will have them back in the thick of things.

One day, a team not as good will win the whole thing and bring it to knoxville if he keeps putting consistently good teams on the field.

 

[Putbacks]

This is what the selection committee envisioned

 

[vol4eva]

Being a Vols fan is torture. We always choke when it matters most.

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

Hard loss. Outcoached. Outplayed. Learning to win post season is tough. They definitely deserved better even though they didn’t show it today.

 

[JCP201]

The basketball team hurt BAD, but this is worse. I loved this team. If I cared, I guess I want ECU to win. If I cared.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Tennessee will never have a baseball team as good as this one ever again, hate to see it wasted

 

[87&91ALUM]

Great season. Lousy ending. Time for football. See y’all in football forums. Thanks for a very enjoyable season. I can point to a lot of miscues this weekend but, the good, including double SEC wins, outweigh the bad.

 

[I Love Lamp]

Feel like Evan hit into an insane amount of double plays all postseason.

 

[acd4476]

Why did it have to be ND? Hate them and the wolverines more than anyone being from the north. Their fans are the worst

[Tenacjim]

FFS. Notre Dame is ranked #6 in America and finished the season with the #4 RPI in the nation. TELL ME YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT COLLEGE BASEBALL.

Um, watch their rpi jump again after today. They are no joke.

 

[sdgriphon]

UT just cannot have nice things. ND worked and earned it today. UT baseball did not. Pitchers in the bullpen that could have pitched some and maybe helped out. Oh well. On to football season.

 

[cbvolsfan]

Just like basketball……

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Ask yourself honestly, if these guys were not wearing a Tennessee uniform if you would like these guys.

Oh shut up troll

 

[Voltrapnbama]

It’s baseball bro. It happens. There’s a reason the no. 1 seed hasn’t won it all since 1999.

They still choked, they didn’t even make it to Omaha. Like dude posted, MISS STATE went to the World Series 12 times before winning it. But they got there. We completely choked and conceded.

 

[GoVolunteers]

Great season by this team. Outperformed what folks thought they were at the beginning of the season. Huge freshmen pitchers and hitters and our veterans performed. You won’t win them all and of course only 1 team wins the last game of the season. Not us this year but I still love this team.

 

[VolPack22]

As anyone else that is here is. Once emotions wear off, anyone will see this team and coach choked this one.

It’s baseball. The best team doesn’t always win. The Braves went 88-73 and won the World Series last year. No choking involved. It’s just the way the sport is.

Hopefully the guys will take Pat Summit's #12 on her Definite Dozen for their own:

Handle Success Like You Handle Failure
You can’t always control what happens, but you can control how you handle it. Sometimes you learn more from losing than winning. Losing forces you to reexamine. It’s harder to stay on top than it is to make the climb. Continue to seek new goals.
