A couple notes from Elander. I like the idea of "we're one swing away from getting hot".
On Tennessee scoring seven runs in the seventh inning to break the game open:
"Yeah, it was great, good to see some balls drop in there and Blaine (Brown) puts a good swing on one. I mean, he's been robbed of three or four over the last few days. But again, it was funny. Blaine rounding third base was like, 'one swing away.' You know, that's one thing we always talk about, is one swing away from getting hot, whether it be individually or as a group. So that was really good to see us put that crooked number together right there."
On Tennessee C/CF Garrett Wright (broken hamate bone) making his debut in centerfield against Bellarmine, if he's at a point to where he can catch and hit:
"So the latest update there is, he's swinging the bat and has not hit off like velocity or anything yet, but he's making great progress. And you know, we started throwing him in live defenses last week, and he can really throw and cover some ground. There's obviously less impact catching a fly ball than, you know, catching some of our guys on the mound, but he was able to put the gear on for the first time yesterday, so still a little bit of a progression. But I thought it was cool to get him out there tonight, maybe get some of those first butterflies out. But another guy like, kind of Myatt running around in BP, he's been running around like a madman, getting better and getting those reps in. So again, you talk about an experienced, talented kid. I mean, that's another guy we're excited to get back in the mix. But got to be smart with that deal, because it's a little bit of pain tolerance, but at the same time, it's very different from playing the outfield and catching."
