Exactly. And in this game, we made mistakes, and got about the same from out day 1 pitchers that we got last Friday... This time all the breaks went against us and we didn't complete the comeback.
It will take a lot more focus and much better execution going forward, but the good news, when this team has put up a stinker, they've followed it with some great performances.
So we'll see. At the end of the day... It's still one game at a time, till it's not. GBO![]()
Could be completely wrong, but I think we win tomorrow with Beam on the bump. Hopefully Zander has had enough rest to go for game 3.I mean sorta. Their pitching staff is pretty stout. It’s the strength of their team. Their other starting pitchers don’t have the numbers but some of their bullpen guys do.
We need to get out of the gates fast. Put up a 3 or 4 run spot in top of first to make them feel the pressure and get us settled down hopefully on defense. They know if this goes 3 games, it definitely favors us.A&M’s best arm out of the pen tomorrow is still a really good one in Cortez. RHP. Can touch 100mph. Lots of arm side run. Nasty slider.
60.1 IP, 41 H, 95 Ks, 32 BBs, .192 BAA
Lamkin is nowhere near as good as what we faced last nightI have the same feeling I had at Hoover. However, Lamkin is there for one more game. I feel good about Beam today against their pen assuming they go bullpen today). If that happens, tomorrow will be epic with Schrist vs. Lamkin.
We usually come back with an attitude after a game like last night. I am anticipating the same today and tomorrow.
Imagine how good we’ll recruit once these restrictions are gone. Top 3 in the nation year in year out!While I think Tennessee should be ranked higher in team recruiting rankings, I think it's important to remember the fall out from Pruitt's recruiting violations. Please try to comprehend the specifics of these sanctions because I think a lot of us have forgotten what an uphill battle it's been on the recruiting trail.

I know some days a good word and a good thought can be harder to find than others. I decided to post this one early.
June 23, 2024: Refuse to allow yourself to get stuck right here. I speak of stagnation spiritually, mentally, or emotionally. Take advantage of every opportunity to be motivated. Consider your options and choose to start moving in the right direction. Ephesians 2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
