Those were routine plays any average 3rd basemen would make 99 times out of 100. If he does his job, the Vols win 3-0 and Sneed doesn't get a chance to give up all those hits. Yep he got shook after the errors and the first hit and then his wheels came off. But no excuse for Curley's poor defensive lapses back to back.

That is the vibe I get. Yes Snead could have been Doyle like and closed it regardless, but that was a huge momentum swing.

TV knew more about baseball in middle school than I'll ever know, but I would shake this team up with both Saturday pitching and third base. We need something new. What we are doing is not working.

I don't pretend to know enough to know what the batting order is.to know if we should change that, but we seem to hit fine we just go cold. Especially on non-starters with better offspeed. Weird cold streak is weird.

Those were both literally routine plays

Having played a LOT of baseball, specifically a lot of 3rd base...they really weren't.

> a simple, or expected play that a player is supposed to make without any difficulty

A play made nearly on the edge of the infield where you have to speed up your internal clock and absolutely laser the ball across the field to barely catch the runner and a tough in between hop on a sharply hit ground ball are not "literally routine". Both of those plays, while certainly not impossible or even significantly difficult involved slight difficulty above what would be considered standard. None of this changes the fact that a D1 level 3rd baseman should have made both plays without much difficulty and we should have been able to play through and around both mistakes.

Regardless, really frustrating sequence. Can't keep doing this stuff and expect to have success in the postseason and that was absolutely a postseason atmosphere.

Bama’s offense didn’t prepare Milroe for the league.
Pick Analysis
Milroe was a player who fascinated scouting circles for his rare running ability and tools to develop as a passer, even with the crude product we've seen to this point.

A RB was literally picked like 6th overall lol

Uh, yeah, and? Very simple statistics here...

One team taking the Heisman runner up in the 1st round is not evidence against the trend.

- 35 RBs taken in the 1st round between 2000-2010. In 2000, 5 RBs were taken in the first round.
- Only 15 RBs have been drafted in the 1st round between 2015-2025.

Ergo, the NFL does not value the position as much as they used to. A well-known phenomenon. At least, they don't generally want to pay that highly for it. A team might, but the league doesn't.

So Curley pulled a Curley and cost Tennessee the game? Seems like that happens once a game every weekend. He needs to move to the outfield or something. His fielding percentage must be terrible
