Kirby

[VolFanGBO]

kirby is very talented he’s always got his stuff going…one of my favorites!

 

[Southern_Accent]

Seems like he pitches better when there are runners in scoring position.

 

[Yeiser10]

Absolutely dealing

 

[TnVol!]

Smooth.

 

[Frivolous]

Kirby’s the man

 

[VOLfrombama]

Love watching him confuse batters. He’s got the ball on a string rn

 

[GregAmsler]

Ben McDonald was right…he was the Vols’ MVP tonight.

I've gotta say, Kirby has become one of my favorite Vols ever. I love CTV, but with all due respect, Kirby could have handled more innings this year. A really good pitcher, an obviously very fine and well raised young man, and a very good team spokesman. Great job Kirby parents.

 

[ATC_VOL]

Great performance. He’s got a great demeanor on the mound.

 

[9296potsguy]

Without a doubt one of my all time favorites. He’s everywhere, grabbing the batter’s gear after they get on base, chasing down foul balls, crazy low ERA, striking out great batters without throwing crazy heat while looking like a badass on the bump. Met his family at MSU and they gave my kid a shirt which I can’t get off him! Couldn’t respect this guy more.

Fear The Stache!

Another thing he did was save the rest of our bullpen. We didn’t have to run a bunch of different guys out there every inning. His performance stabilized the game and left us with plenty of bullets for tomorrow.

He pitched in just under half our games. One thing TV is not going to do and that’s over use a pitcher. Plus, we have so much depth. He pitched great tonight and allowed our offense to get back in it.

This is the major thing. Kirby really saved us especially if we (god forbid) don’t win tomorrow night and have another game

I was so glad that we were able to save Sewell and Joyce.

@preacherman20 could speak more expertly on it, but if Kirby wanted to, he could go be a starter for some pretty good teams out of there. He has shown that he can eat some innings when it’s needed. But he chose to be in this role because he wants to win and loves this team. Proud he and his family chose to become Vols.

Many times tournament baseball becomes a war of pitching attrition. Kirby eating those innings tonight and posting zeroes was the best possible scenario coming to fruition. Now our record and arms are in a position of strength going into the final.

The drop off in quality pitching will be evident from here on out. Except for us. This is why I wouldn’t want to see a team like Kentucky in a regional. They had a lot of arms.

The ‘Stache was dealing tonight. Good work Vollie Fingers!!

Apparently Kentucky didn’t want to see themselves in a regional either 😀

I thought they should have gotten in. They were on a heater at the end of the season.

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

MVP.

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

Anyone who says otherwise wasn't watching. He was the catalyst.

 

[AllThingsTN]

Man we needed him tonight. And he came in and did all that we could have hoped for and more. So happy for him.
