Good yes. More talented? No.

They have looked pretty damn good to me. Just give them their props.

 

[Bigvalley84]

I’d like to have seen Behnke or Kirby against the lefty with 2 outs but Snead got a ground ball but Amick had to play in to defend a bunt and it hurt him and I have no idea how we let the second run score , the dude couldn’t even run

 

[Caz]

Just hate losing to these Lexington “lip guards” in any sport

 

[OJJ]

The most talented team rarely wins the CWS. The oldest, combined with most talented, does.


Kentucky is full of veterans.

Not debating that.

 

[feathersax]

So kensucky is a baseball school now

Rather like vandie is girls' bowling.

 

[LivinginthePast]

Dang hated losing that. Wish we could have got a run off those bases loaded. Oh well. Hopefully Drew beam shuts them down.

Give em a break, they have a new basketball coach, must be terrifying.

They’re better built to win in Omaha than we are. They don’t rely on the homer all the time, which that park rarely gives you, and they don’t beat themselves. That’s the formula.

Why does every Kentucky batter hit their chest after every pitch

Same reason all Tennessee guys do all their stuff after hits and all. Dumb kid things.

 

[OJJ]

God I hate Kentucky. Booger eating, Marlboro smoking, scratch off 1 dollar ticket buying , outdoor toilet crapping turds.

Just saw this. At least one good thing came out of tonight. Need to bounce back and take the next two games.

 

[VFFL@THE BEACH]

I was just looking at the box score to see if it was scored an error.

Glad they changed it. Burke always seems to hit the ball really hard.

Go Vols. Win this series!

I said Sid Bream looked like Usain Bolt coming down the line compared to Burkes. He was at a light jog.

I am sick. For me that is easily the toughest loss of the season. It's so much easier to accept when you just get beat rather than feeling like you left runs out there.

Props to them. They've probably wrapped up the east after only 16 games.

 

[cardvolfan]

I’m intrigued by that. So, Amick’s error was not an error? Same type of hard hit ball.

Didn’t look to me like it was quite as hard as Blake’s though

 

[MAD]

Welp. Enjoy watching golden girl reruns.

SECURITY!!! @MAD

You want me to hide the evidence?

 

[Ned Land]

Both of those were gifts from the official scorer. They were both errors.

I know Tony promised Billy he wouldn’t be DH in order for him to come here. I think he needs to be willing to break that promise for this team to maximize its potential. Dean and Ariel together just feels like too good a left side combo not to try at this point.

Are you suggesting Curley at 3b and Ariel at SS? I could see that, but I’m not sure trying something new in a Top 5 matchup on the road is the answer.

It wouldn’t really be new. We had to do some of that while Billy was out anyway.

I think there’s a sample size now, I’m a lot more worried about Friday starting pitching.

Nope.

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

We had the lead for 1/2 an inning (the first) vs Auburn if that’s the game you’re referring to. This is only our 3rd road series and we blasted Bama game 1 so Auburn is the only Friday left.

Sorry I was thinking that Sunday game against Bama was the Friday one, but still similar situation

 

[fryeguy93]

It needed to be a hit
That ball pistol whipped that poor guy
