I must’ve missed it and if that’s true then Burke does deserve the hate for at least tonight.

Same old stuff from Burke. He doesn’t want to be labeled a homer so he errs on the opposite side.

To each their own. I know most of you folks on this board despise Tony Basilio but Burke is on his show almost weekly during the season and sings a a completely different tune.

this young unknown pitcher for Arky is eating TN alive.

Whoever said TN was going to catch up to him was an interesting take.

Blister info:

Doyle, who is having an All-American season during his debut year on Rocky Top, has been dealing with a blister on his throwing middle finger the past few weeks. It caused him some issues at the tail end of his start against Texas A&M on April 4 and then again last Friday against Vanderbilt. The move is also prompted due to his workload in recent weeks, that included two appearances in the Auburn series.

“We take pretty good care of it. We try our best to deal with it,” Doyle said last Friday on the blister. “Sometimes it comes up in a different spot. Just happens. I feel like I grip down on the ball pretty hard compared to some other people, so it just happens naturally after 70 or 80 pitches. That’s when it starts to get weak or whatever. It is what it is. Fight through it.”

Tony Vitello acknowledge it’s something the southpaw has been dealing with during his media appearance after the Doyle start against the Commodores. A full week of rest was hinted towards at the time and that’s the path the skipper and his staff have elected this week for the lefty.

“It’s something he’s battled with. Him and Woody (trainer Jeff Wood) have hooked up, and I think really managed the thing well,” Vitello said last week. “I think it truly was an issue for the first time, and it’s been something to manage. But I think it truly was an issue with the losing of the command and the hit by pitch, and then, full credit, big, strong guy (Vanderbilt catcher Colin Barczi) hits the ball as far as he did. But I don’t know that he saw the best version of Liam there because of it.

“It’s hard to take Liam out of the game, no matter what the pitch count is or what the situation is. So yeah, he’ll have a full week to do everything he needs to do. I know I mentioned that earlier, is you can’t use it as an excuse, but with the blister and everything else, that’ll help. I guess not a full week. Thursday start (next week at Arkansas), but you get the gist. Hopefully.”
