Bro!..he sucks under pressure with anyone on base..has zero tricks in his bag..scouting report strictly says.”curveball pitcher” and more times than not leaves one hanging over the zone and it’s sent to the moon or a RBI…great kid and appreciate what he’s done for the vols but a spade is a spade I’d give anything to have Redmond Walsh Back in this World Series run versus Kirby…night and day difference..Redmond was cold blooded under pressure

Redmond Walsh and Kirby Connell are entirely different pitchers woth different styles. I think people don't respect that enough.

For starters, neither are ace pitchers that are going to blow strikes past you or throw something filthy.

Walsh, as a closer, came in to throw strikes and give up ground balls for easy outs. You expect Walsh to get hit but you don't expect him to pile up baserunners, give up extra base hits, or walk a guy. But Walsh had great accuracy and consistency and always knew what you were getting. I think there was an outing (or several) he had where he threw 3 pitches for 3 groundouts to finish the game. That's his job. That's what he did.

Kirby seems to have a little more stuff and can make you miss. But he's also not even used as a closer anymore, probably because he allows more baserunners. But he can go through a lineup at least once and, again, he's a veteran who's pretty darn consistent.

I like both players…. Both guys got the most out of their ability… Neither guy has dominating stuff but the staff has been able to utilize them to get the most out of their talents.

Sean Hunley is the only one I would say could've been a true closer.

It's easier to get pain killers from a Primary Care Physician than antibiotics.

you have to tell them. unfortunately.

'Doc I have a sinus infection'.

 

[volbeast33]

This college world series run means a lot to me…. I have been there for many baseball moments:
1. Todd Heltons first game
2. was at a UT baseball game the day the blizzard of 93 hit.
3. Many Todd Helton Homeruns
4. Bubba Trammell
5. Chris Burke
6. Saw Luke Hochevar pitch in a regional
7. Saw many other future pros play.
8. Was there during the bad Raleigh years
9. Spent many a day making fun of Dave Serrano’s team… they were so small(didn’t look like athletes.)

How many fans on this site followed UT baseball before TV and when did you start supporting them?

Some still refuse to give them to you…. They want to give those useless yellow pills for coughing instead.

no sure what that means.

If its what I think it means, its pain meds.

When I was in hospital last year, had to request specifically not to be given pain meds. Tylenol and Ibuprofen.

Crazy, that's its even a question. My pain didnt warrant opiate medication.

So we beat NC State’s most hated rival today. Now we root for them to beat one of our most hated rivals tomorrow.

If you go back and listen to the start of this clip the announcers were talking about UNC having comebacks, and what would they do against UT. That play was a pretty prophetic exclamation point that they could try, but we had answers.

Game was over at that point. I said after that play to my buddy, "ballgame," he didn't believe me. We took their heart with that play.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

lol.....UK.....rival.....LOL!!!!

NC State is playing UF, not UK.

Winning is really fun. Let's not do the other thing.

^^^ It is this simple. All it took was commitment from the university and state that matched us fans.

Every Vol sport - just win - a lot. Bring home natties. Enjoy life as the greatest sports fans supporting the best teams and university in history. We will do our parts wearing orange, yelling and singing our heads off, showing up, writing checks, and bringing the thunder always.

Rocky Top forever.

It was Serrano for me if we are saying earnestly tracked. I remember the kerfuffle over him not having a degree.

Honeymoonus Interruptus: Dave Serrano's Educational Credentials are Mostly Irrelevant

Questions about Tennessee baseball coach Dave Serrano's bachelor's degree (or lack thereof) have no bearing on his fitness to be the team's head coach.

Rocco's probably makes 90% of its bank these two weeks.

I get the same symptoms every year or two…. If left untreated… It almost always turns into bronchitis…. The walk in clinic that I use to go… wouldn’t give me the antibiotics that I knew that i needed. They would give me those little yellow gel pills for my cough and over the counter treatments for the rest. Delsym works better than the yellow pills that they were giving me.

When I would get worse(every single time)… the doctor would finally allow me to have the antibiotics that i knew that I needed.

I have his book. Seems like a million years ago and just like yesterday at the same time.

Probably started when Rod Delmonico was here... but would check scores and catch a few games wasn't watching a ton.
