The Official #10 Auburn @ #12 Tennessee Series Thread (Sat. May 3 11AM EDT) (Sun. May 4 1PM EDT) (Sun. May 4 45 mins after) (All games SECNET+)

SEC and NCAA are crap. Can't believe they started this game in the rain.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

I get his point. MLB operates that way. He played in college and they did it that way too. But that was 89-92, not today lol.

For sure. I just don’t see Auburn playing it that way. They started complaining about the rain as soon as they got a lead.

 

[VolGirl81]

Just said on SEC Now, the game should have never been started.

 

[kiddiedoc]

The ball didn't even go out.

I didn't see any evidence that it was a homerun either. Looked pretty clearly off the wall.

 

[Orange931]

The ball didn't even go out.

The Birmingham office will say it’s a piece of hail.

 

[txbo]

Sunday curfew. Games have to end by a certain time so teams can go back home. It’s antequated, from days when baseball all used buses. But still a rule.

Unless the game is televised, then you can play into the night. BS rule. As long as the league can make tv money, no need to get the kids home.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

That ball didn't go out .. and we'll start down 2-0 that's bullshet

 

[fryeguy93]

I’m telling myself they just had to throw one pitch to give it til midnight for a restart. As opposed to 10 pm to start it. It’s still insane though.

Sure
My thought
But the Auburn guy will pitch in perfect conditions and Liam though18 pitches in a ****ing monsoon

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Just my opinion.... it's not worth much. I didn't think it was a HR live

 

[patrick]

total debacle..... should have started the damn game earlier in the day - Auburn was in Knoxville.......

Despite several on here saying I'm a nega --- my thought all week was that the Vols would pull the sweep but now we've lost our game 1 starter...

Who knows how this will play out this evening and the remainder of the weekend --- this is not how I, or probably anyone, envisioned this going tonight.

Just "oof"!

I didn't either-- but nobody called a replay.

 

[mackievol]

Yep wasn't a home run either , most of us already knew that which is why this is total trash what happened here

 

[fryeguy93]

For sure. I just don’t see Auburn playing it that way. They started complaining about the rain as soon as they got a lead.

I said same to my significant other
Auburn doing their best to stop the game now that we burned our starter and they got lead

 

[Orange.]

Is there a replay of the homerun? Did it hit above the line?

 

[TheBigOne10]

Sure
My thought
But the Auburn guy will pitch in perfect conditions and Liam though18 pitches in a ****ing monsoon

Like when we played LSU in football in a hurricane a few years ago and had to try to field a kickoff. Then LSU gets the ball and the rain magically stops LMAO

 

[2EastTnVols]

I saw the replay and immediately had the thought of why is he celebrating a ball off the wall?

 

[fryeguy93]

Best case scenario for Auburn

 

[ArmchairQB]

Sure

I’d have gone out there for one pitch. They could take me yard, I could plunk someone. Would’ve got the job done

Can someone explain the rules for if we can’t play anymore tonight, what happens? Do we play out the rest of the game tomorrow, is it a wash?

 

[Gilbert]

There’s a non zero chance this was all CTV. If you’ve heard him speak in interviews since the turf was installed, he raves about it draining water and he loves not having rain delays/rain outs. He scoffs at Basilio whenever he asks about potential weather and potential double headers. He hates playing two. We’ve also played in monsoons in prior years with no stoppage as well.

Not saying he had the final say but I know he is all for playing tonight.

 

[87&91ALUM]

2-0 Auburn and ESPN+/SECN+ SHOWING YOUR EVENT IS IN A WEATHER DELAY...CRAP!

Nobody reviewed it

It’s a rule regardless. It’s the rule Kentucky abused to beat A&M this year.

 

[patrick]

Nobody reviewed it

why the hell didnt TV demand a review?
