The Official Tennessee @ Arkansas Fayetteville Super Regional Game 1 (Sat. June 7 5PM EDT) (ESPN)

[K-town Vol Fan]

It looks like some of our guys are guessing pitches again, killed us during conference play.

Stands there with the bat on his shoulder and watches strike after strike right down the middle and swings at balls that bounce in the dirt as they cross the plate.

It’s so easy.

Most hitters do. It's like gambling you just need a hot streak.

 

[Ritzwatch]

I am sorry the boys fell short today. They have brought me a lot of joy this year, and today they provided a needed distraction from other concerns.

Good night, VN.

 

[Volrocketman]

Marcus's first batter "walked"

That's what I thought about that at-bat. So remind us where you can see the pitch data?

 

[Hoggervol]

It’s so easy.

Must be. He's been doing it for a good while now.

He definitely got squeezed in the first 2 innings. It’s ridiculous who they put out there to ump games. Technology would fix it, but they don’t care.

Hope your boy is okay, some stuff is just more important.

 

[Volstylexx]

Proud of the boys today. Had a great time in the ballpark and have no doubt we can win the next two.

 

[hog88]

Still in it! Go Basevols!

Anything 95+ mph there is some element of guessing involved imo. Sometimes you’re just wrong on their sequencing

FWIW, their fans were a little annoying at times but not crazy. LSU was way louder although I like the Arkansas facilities better. Bucket list stadium now marked off the list.

My fantasy:

Doyle wins tomorrow without a strain

A.J. Russell throws 7 strong innings and we take G3.

They kept it close today against Arkansas's ace (ass) pitcher. If Doyle throws a good game tomorrow winning the series is definitely possible.

That’s awesome happy for ya! One of these days.

What would you do to solve this?

Technology would fix it, but they don’t care.

Oh please. Tech can't fix everything. Sometimes you just have to grow up and take your medicine.

 

[VOLtaism]

These are NCAA games, you have to score runs. I thought we were totally dominated by their staff. Start making contact or head home. It's there, they need to let it out.

 

[VolGee4]

Must be. He's been doing it for a good while now.

Sometimes, they guess wrong with pitches. They are usually looking for something or trying to watch the spin off the hand. I was frustrated with a breaking pitch with him tonight, but he’s been huge for our program. He’s got a bunch of experience,

 

[VOLtaism]

IF (big if) that happens, that team and that fan base might start to feel the ghosts of past postseason chokes.

The stadium got real quiet after Fisher hit that home run. They all saw the FSU game last year!

 

[KTrain]

Tony now 2-12 against Van Horn all time. Crazy how this is the one team in the entire country he just can’t beat.

bad part is these 2 teams IMO are most definitely the best 8 teams in the nation and 1 will not make it to Omaha. If you lose the 1st game per history of Super regionals it puts Arkansas as 80% and Vols at 20% to advance

Grow up? Seriously? I’m a grown man.

MLB has a track man during live telecasts. While they don’t use the challenges or technology yet in games, it’s coming. College won’t do it because the umpires are worse. Why should we let human bias or error call it when technology can fix it? At least with challenges.

By the way, I’ve also umpired baseball and officiated basketball. I guess we should just put our head in the sand and say “oh well.”

Root is new public enemy #1

weird looking dude for sure

Good night, VN.

Hope it gets better my vol brother

 

[LivinginthePast]

Goodnight folks. Too bad today’s game didn’t go in our favor. Gonna be a tough series to win. Arkansas says see you later. Maybe we can prove them wrong. I hope so.

Not to get all mathy, but it is actually Arkansas at 79% and Vols at 21% to advance

Arkansas beat NC State 21-2 in game one of the super regionals in 2021 before getting ousted in games 2/3. Win tomorrow and the pressure on the Hogs will be immense in a game 3 scenario. Play loose and light em up. We have them right where we want them.
