The Official #6 Tennessee @ #7 LSU Series Thread (Fri. April 25 7:30PM EDT SECNET+) (Sat. April 26 8PM EDT ESPNU) (Sun. April 27 3PM EDT SEC NETWORK)

[Christian Lowe]

For some context, Arkansas has lost 3 series in a row now too.

 

[AthensVol2007]

They aren’t a top 8 seed at the moment. Schedule doesn’t get any easier.

We were the projected 5 seed coming in. Arkansas lost, Oregon State lost, FSU lost, Clemson lost, we lost. Nothing will change much.

 

[Christian Lowe]

It’s over. Danny should stop the renovations to LNS.

If tickets are going to be $300 a game I wish he would

 

[TheBigOne10]

How many of you were around in ‘23 when we started 5-10 in SEC play and still made it to Omaha? Let the damn thing play out and have a little faith. The boys will be fine.

 

[patrick]

Doesn’t get any easier.

 

[Tenacjim]

Lost 3 of our last 4 series.... Gotta find a way to get to 18 SEC wins...

Go 2-1 against VU and AU and 1-2 against Arky. That’s a “reasonable” expectation but not easily done.

Keeping the faith.

 

[txbo]

When was the last time we were run ruled?

 

[VolGirl81]

Really felt like we should have had 2 out of 3. Oh well, regroup for Tuesday and next weekend.

 

[Caz]

Look on the bright side Vol Nation, at least we didn't leave all those runners stranded in scoring position this game. Ha, looking for a friend!

 

[Christian Lowe]

When was the last time we were run ruled?

2 weeks ago

 

[Drewbydoo]

He was a great one. I read where he had a sub 2.0 second POP time which is elite. Other factors outside of Catcher’s control are how great is the runner’s jump, size of their lead, and how fast/slow is pitchers delivery. C is such a tough position.

Buster saying, "I'm not havin' it" after throwing out a potential base stealer. Sorry about the small video size, but it's an old GIF my dad had:

We gave away game one for sure, but we sucked today Volgirl

 

[AthensVol2007]

When was the last time we were run ruled?

April 5th lol

 

[NOLAPhil]

9 straight wins loading....

To an extent, it’s where you are at the end of May. We do need to figure out what happens past Doyle and Phillips. It was good to see AJ today.

We gotta figure out what we got, we’re a step closer in that regard, but the road isn’t gonna get much easier. Ya get what ya earn and this group has earned where they are. Gotta dust it off and get back at it next week.

For starters, it's easier to change the color of the font if you're on a laptop.
I haven't tried it on my phone.

It's intuitive using the drop down menus on a laptop or standard computer.

I assumed the ridiculously over-the-top post would be a given. Sorry...
Nega-porn I guess.

CTV needs to recruit this LSU pitcher

We are lacking in the pen. A head scratcher but I admit I don't understand a lot. Just figured TV and FA would have better in the pen this far into season. I don't understand how we look so inferior there to other teams.

I was around and I know it has to play out . Still it stings like a bee to see us get run ruled.

 

[Christian Lowe]

We’re still #6 in team ERA nationally

 

[CAVPUT]

Run ruled? We were run ruled? Geez. Didn't see that coming.

 

[Caz]

We were the projected 5 seed coming in. Arkansas lost, Oregon State lost, FSU lost, Clemson lost, we lost. Nothing will change much.

Perhaps only a little pride! Tough series, but we are still not doing too bad, but need some improvements

 

[TigerMan]

Congrats TigerMan. They were a better team today

Thank you. Brutal day for yall. And although Im happy, I take no pleasure in saying that. These teams are very similar. I knew y'all were struggling a bit with Sunday pitching, but I didn’t realize it was to this level. I think when Russel gets back to speed, yall will definitely be in much better shape. I thought for sure your bats would win this game today, but Evans was dealing after the 1st.

I questioned Jay Johnson twice this weekend. Once on Friday for pinch hitting Beck, and again last night for not putting in Evans or Cowan when it was 2-1. The end result of that? CJJ 2 TigerMan 0. Point being, keep the faith in CTV. These coaches know what they’re doing, and CTV will get it figured out. I think in this case, CJJ recognized your Sunday pitching struggles way more than I did, and intentionally saved Evans and Cowan for today for that reason.

Despite today, it was still a great series. And if not for the Friday miracle, the Vols were walking away with a series win.

 

[Volprofch05]

Good luck to LSU when they run into us in Hoover.

If we make it

AJ still has some rust to dust off but by the end of May, he could be very difficult to face. Glad to see him working on the weekend.

If we make it

You don’t think we’ll make Hoover?
