Body language of Marin there looked defeated

 

[JCP201]

Nobody scored on Loy. Ump messed us up with Kuhns. I would probably DH Curly since he leads in errors. Love Tony, we should not become spoiled.

 

[VolFan_stuck_in_the_901]

Please tell me we're not going to make Beetle-cheese look like Roger Clemens

 

[VolFanGBO]

Swing the ****ing bat

 

[vols1071]

Good job by Tony.... Those in game interviews are ridiculous... You know the coaches have zero desire for it

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Embarrassing

 

[vol66]

Honestly, probably in the minority here, but I’m excited to get the regular season over with. Whether we win or lose today, the post season is a different animal.

 

[theroyz71]

These umps suck.

Yep. I still think this team gets to Omaha as crazy as it seems to some people.

 

[taylorvol]

Oh

I’m not sure he’s made one good decision either way about sending runners this year. He does the opposite of what he should do each time. I don’t think he’s on the take, but a guy who is on the take wouldn’t look much different.

Oh my. Take a deep breath….

 

[bobabuga]

These umps suck.

How is jeff head still employed by the SEC?

 

[THEONLYTENISEE]

He's awful on many levels

And replace him with who? He’s a top 100 prospect.

 

[jdogvol]

Arky is chewing up Vol batters

Jeff Head is chewing up Vol batters.

 

[VolsLFC]

Should be 3-0 count

 

[vavolfan6]

I'd rather win. We should have no confidence in our ability to close out an opponent with a series win on the line.

 

[feathersax]

Pretty sure this is same crew that Tony cussed out last weekend and it almost looks like they're doing this on purpose because of last weekend

Would not be surprised. Arbitrary, inconsistent & NO integrity!

 

[SGMVols]

Counting out a guy who’s been to Omaha 4 straight years? We’re out hitting Arkansas. Just errors and lack of bullpen.

You say that as if errors and bad bullpen pitching are anomalous with this team. That’s been the story of the last month and a half. It’s who they are at this point.

 

[Orange931]

.

 

[neostig]

Is that even breaking over inside

 

[vol66]

I'd rather win. We should have no confidence in our ability to close out an opponent with a series win on the line.

Duh.

 

[Weezer]

I just don't understand this late season meltdown and inability to win any series....How does a CTV coached team regress so quickly? He pushed all the right buttons for the past 5 years and this season there is no energy or toughness to win.

Lots of reasons. We have lots of freshmen playing. We lack the clubhouse leadership we've had in the past. We have shaking pitching. Fielding has been atrocious.

This will be a learning season. This year's freshmen will be better next year for it.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

One swing could get Vols back in this, Fish is playing good, competitive ABs

 

[Ritzwatch]

Playing really good teams. Lost a lot of good, experienced players.

Amick, Burke, CMO, Kirby, DD, the deepest pitching staff in the nation, geez, that was not only a talented team, they were experienced, strong men who had been around the league.

We have a different team. Let them grow.

It may end as a strong year. It may be a disappointing end. Time will tell. But we lost A LOT last year.

As hard as that is for a lot of people to understand, it is really that simple.

[VolsLFC]

I can’t tell you what’s going to be a ball or strike
