If they had started at 11:00 when it was not raining there would have been 35 minutes before this down pour started ... just saying.

Weather related dinner break, but I'm not hungry!

 

[BradentonVol]

Now, who do we bring out to pitch the rest of the way?

 

[minorvol]

Interesting how some posters griping about players needing to come out shut down their keyboards when those particular players score the tying run or hit the tying HR.

I hate calling out players. We know whose struggling but you can complain in general terms like - “man these errors are killing us, or man, can’t get a hit with risp”. It’s really not that hard.

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

Is there a place to look this up for the season?

It has been awful for the past month

 

[2EastTnVols]

What a joke .. why have him throw a pitch?!?!?!?? Absolute crap

At least it was only one. I figured they'd call it as soon as they took the lead

 

[Baseball25]

I played baseball until I was 33 then coached for 20 years. I have NEVER seen so many hitters stand there and watch strike three go by down the middle without swinging at it until this game.

 

[Orange931]

The rain has screwed us twice in 2 days. Once with Doyle and in this one with all the momentum.

We can’t have nice things.

We’re ahead 4-4 though in this rain delay, all things considered.

 

[LivinginthePast]

I have a legit question. Does the rain make a new pitcher have to show up as a rule? I keep seeing people say that was what happened to Doyle and now for tonight. Not the rain but the rain delay lol.

Imagine if they hadnt pushed start time up by 30 minutes that at least an inning if not two

Are you just “pain shopping” to know that info?

 

[CobbWebb71]

How are these safe conditions in which to play?

WTH blue?

I watched a Dixie Youth game this morning at 10:30, in a freaking downpour!
It was the nastiest rain I’ve ever watched a baseball game in, a tournament game on a turf field that we lost 13-11.
It was nasty and both teams had a ton of walks.
Little CobbWebb got a workout behind the plate chasing wet pitches and went 1-3 at the plate, with 2 walks and a 3 RBI double.

No, Snead can come back, but normally after a guy gets hot and then cools down, its not good to get them hot again. Its bad for their arm.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

That’s a lie. Not supposed to rain most of the day tomorrow

Intresting because everything ive seen about this weekend most people were skeptical about playing Sunday as well.

100%

Curley...

 

[Legion of Doom]

Yeah this is ridiculous. Vols deserve this game. As many bad plays they have made some very unlucky plays. If Ensley had just stayed at first after his hit, two batters later that would have been a sac fly. That is on first base coach and not being aware of situation.

 

[bigdaddy]

Radar looks bad may not finish this for a while

Gotcha. I do it all the time drinking beer.

 

[theroyz71]

wonder if they'll make us pitch in this, spot them a lead, then call it

They can't.

 

[VolsLFC]

Haven’t we pitched Snead in consecutive games already this year? Or am I imagining things?

Been happening since Vol baseball became popular again.
I don’t hold it against them, some just don’t understand the nuances of baseball and the fact that it is a game of 70% failure...
