Honestly its the wolrong time but this team needed an ass whipping. Hope it isnt too late

 

[rockytop36]

This is ********… getting beat is one thing getting your teeth kicked in is something different

 

[Orange931]

They’re throwing everything they have at us tonight, it’s about to take quite a turn for them.

 

[vol94]

Wow. Got in the car after work and down 2-0. Then 3-0. I walk into door and tow run shot.

Now it’s 8-1 Top of 4th. I’m curious to see Vols’ pitching strategy down 8-1 and most likely a must win tomorrow and Sunday. I’m disappointed with our pitching thus far and our hitting with runners on base.

Still love this team! Go Vols!

 

[Orange_Rush]

This is hard to watch

 

[BlackhorseVol]

I’m hanging with BaseVols tonight. Gonna watch it until the last out.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

The Peyton curse seems to be real. I've always had my doubts but .... this.

 

[Pacer92]

Built on power pitching and power hitting…

Not much in between..

 

[Weezer]

I would have kept Blade in....Vitello is panicking now.

lmao I highly doubt it.

 

[Tenacjim]

Never panic unless it’s at least the 7th. I’ve seen this team have too many big 5th and 6th innings

True. But at some point we also have to also stop them from scoring….

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Former college baseball pitcher two cents worth. We are tipping pitches and they are picking up signs ..

I was curious about this. What are they seeing? They had Blade figures out quick.
GBO!!

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

so stupid

It’s funny in jest, but Peyton mostly comes to the big games which are in turn the games UT is most likely to lose. There’s no curse.

 

[NO SIR EEE]

How does this even happen?

It’s baseball man. How did the pirates beat the dodgers? Baseball

 

[LordVOLdemort]

I wouldn’t waste the bullpen. I would have let Mabrey wear it tonight and just play for the rest of the weekend. We can’t burn our bullpen in a game that is pretty much over. But, Tony is a much smarter man than I am.

I agree, but CTV is the man for a reason. He has the Bullpen

 

[ChattownVFL]

How does this even happen?

Because we are Tennessee and always lose the big games

 

[acd4476]

I wouldn't say they played well in the regional and its carried over to today. Awful time to have the worst pitching they've had all year.

 

[Franklin_Vol09]

They’re throwing everything they have at us tonight, it’s about to take quite a turn for them.

Their ACE is starting tomorrow.

 

[Juanita]

Yep...That's the way! GBO

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Their ACE is starting tomorrow.

So is ours…..

 

[BP4Prez]

They’re throwing everything they have at us tonight, it’s about to take quite a turn for them.

They pitch their ace tomorrow. Luckily we do too

 

[Orange931]

True. But at some point we also have to stop them from scoring….

And we will. We have and have scored many runs game after game

 

[vavolfan6]

Joyce may not be a bad option...has nothing to lose at this point. Not as much pressure. Just throw some bangers and hope we can get back in this thing

 

[KB5252]

He’s earned the shot.

No doubt he's earned it, but you have to be smart and think about the series.

 

[youcancallmeAl]

Would not burn the fireman down 7 in the 4th.

Joyce is not one of our premier relievers. Burning him and not one of our prime relievers is the right call, imo.

I dont consider Joyce, burning our bullpen. I think we see MM tonight as well. Tony is throwing our 3rd tier arms
