Come on defense...tide is turning offensively now...GBO!!️

 

[volfan__18]

we leave way to many people on base. gotta be some kind of record

 

[Ritzwatch]

Really great hustle and a great slide by Fisch.

He’s be getting blasted for “little league baseball baserunning” if it didn’t work, but that was a great play. Put two in scoring territory.

Would have been HUGE if we’d have delivered a hit to make it a bloop-and-blast kind of game.

 

[knoxvol52]

Ballsy move there by Fisch

 

[4chrissy]

Not a whole lot accd to multiple podcasts. Much more is put on HRs ...

Defense was sus at times last year but this year is noticeably worse. Defense may not win championships but a decent one sure could help at this point.

We could overlook it last year because our pitching and hitting was significantly better

Doyle’s blister didn’t just pop up last week , he’s dealt with it in several of his starts , I do think last weekend was the worst it’s been

It's been sus CTV's whole tenure. Difference is a lot of guys in the past stepped up and got better. No one seems to be doing that this year. His main focus is elite pitching and lots of home runs. Overall this year, neither are to his standards.

Second most arrogant fanbase in the country behind Ohio gets two major SEC Championships their first year. Just great, they will be more insufferable than ever, if that is possible.
Texas was a mistake.

They’re that good, and there’s no denying it

I will type carefully so you understated.

A starting pitcher who develops a blister on a finger on his throwing hand - a blister which pops - a blister which after it pops then festers to the point of bleeding during the game (LD game last Friday)..

That festered, bleeding finger does not completely heal within 7 days. A blister on a pitcher’s throwing hand negatively changes their grip, spin rate and movement. This is what LD is dealing with tonight and could possibly deal with the rest of the season.

The TN trainer put some type of AA approved liquid skin on the ruptured blister during his last outing last week - if you doubt me watch the playback of his game last week.

Well you don't know what your talking about...evidently any more detail gets admin involved....

Oh definitely, not denying that. But I still don't like it. lol

Absolutely. I get the Texas garbage daily and I want to tell my husband to shut up!

Didn’t look very good against this Arkansas team...

Sounds like reasonable grounds for a divorce in my opinion.

 

[LieutenantNeyland]

Silly me, I was just thinking we might have a clean inning.

 

[Vtonerider]

Need a "fans are disappointed" rule where the game is over after 5.5

 

[Caz]

We lived in TX for awhile and we tend to get mouthy!

 

[zeppelin128]

Has anyone blamed losing on the black uniforms yet? That's always a fun conversation.

 

[therealitytheory]

The left side of our infield has cost us some games this year. Maybe in part because it's been a revolving door on that side.

I tell him on a daily basis, they would be the univ of mexico without the Volunteers

They are trash, and they are to be blamed!

 

[cjbongoinstructor]

I’d pitch the midweek arms to get some road SEC experience and save Kuhns / Krenzel / Loy for tomorrow

 

[ETNVolunteer1]

Didn’t we win the Natty in the black unis?

So you have some inside info? Or just making stuff up.
