2 games today from 1030am until now it's ridiculous

They can blame the last one on the umpires. Chapman was clearly safe.

 

[Christian Lowe]

Thanks. I got mine 30 years ago and 33 years ago.

Daughter “graduating” 8th grade. It’s a “thing” now.

I had an 8th grade "graduation" in 2009.

I had an 8th grade "graduation" in 2009.

I can't remember those. Of course, mine would have been in the 60's so I guess that's understandable.

Half of us: “I had a midlife crisis in 2009.”

There you have it.

Good win , it’s good to see our guys keep battling after another ugly inning , I think it’s past time for Dean to clean it up and reward Tony for sticking with him through most of the season , AJ could have made a better pitch to the next hitter too , we need to be better in those situations after an error

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Happy hour, wing night, and trivia! Let's go!

 

[ETNVolunteer1]

Im afraid we need more than the portal will likely yield

Going to have to hope several guys get a lot better over the summer too. I think Kuhns and Arvidson both will take big leaps next year. Krenzel too. But hopefully we get at least two good arms from portal. Loy needs to step up too

 

[vol94]

Honest question, does it negatively effect team morale when a player is consistently making errors and they're not sitting down?

I kind of wonder if that has been one of the underlying issues the second half of the season.

Yes as players are human too in that that question things like fans.

 

[knoxvol52]

Well looks like the bench Curley individuals will have to deal with it ... CTV has Dean Curley's back..

 

[Bigvalley84]

Yes as players are human too in that that question things like fans.

I think it affects the bench guys trying to get in the game and pitchers more than the every day starters , that’s Tony though he sticks with guys through the bad stretches more than most coaches , Curley probably should DH but with Clark coming on as of late makes that a lot tougher decision

 

[drvenner]

TV never sends a message to his players on poor play, unless it is a pitcher. Curley will continue to start and give runs away on his costly errors.....almost every freaking game

You don't pull him in the middle of an inning.

 

[drvenner]

At what point do we ask the coach “wtf?”

You don't

 

[Volstylexx]

Teammates rallied around him after that inning. It was clear then, he was their guy.

 

[wmcovol]

You don't

Fulmer never got this much slack. I recall the hell raised after Al Brown had a career night vs the Vol OT in 1999.

We are Tennessee. We hit dingers

It was 66 for me

 

[WillisWG]

There you have it.

It's just that simple T E A M

Fulmer? 1999?
Really need to treat that butt hurt. Seems you have a case that has been lingering. I’d guess that would be referred to as chronic.

When I finished 8th grade in 84 we didn’t have a graduation.

That was the only year he was coming off a NC. The main things lingering are the consistent errors.

I realize most Vol fans new to baseball but it’s not a Capitol offense to question a baseball manager or coaches strategy. The greatest in the game have been seconded guessed. It just part of the game & nobody doing it wants anyone “fared”.

I just saw TVs post game comments. Evidently somebody asked the coach. WOW.

I had a high school graduation, and 3 university graduations (only attended one though!). Never had anything before that. Now, both my daughters had preschool graduations, elementary school graduations (after 5th grade), middle school graduations (after 8th grade) and high school graduations (One so far. My youngest will be a senior this coming year). I don’t know when all that crap started, but it’s kind of stupid really! Even both my daughters thought it was stupid, although they enjoyed the preschool graduation! lol

Also, great win today! That’s the most alive I’ve seen the Vol bats in awhile!

I think today was the best we’ve looked all year offensively. Great to see and great timing for sure.
