The Official #8 Seed Tennessee @ #1 Seed Texas SEC Tourney Quarterfinal Game Thread (Thurs. May 22 4PM EDT) (SEC NETWORK)

How about Vandy loses, Oklahoma is found overnight to have fielded someone ineligible all year, forfeits, and then Vandy loses again? Too much of a stretch?

Probably but I like the way you think.

I mean, he was the freshman of the year

That kid has great stuff, it just wasn’t good enough today.

 

[Vtonerider]

I want the rematch

I want to avoid the whistler

 

[VolGirl81]

I want to avoid the whistler

Its already annoying in this game. They need to throw him out.

 

[SpringBokVol]

We like the big ballparks

Makes sense with our batters.

Small parks limit us.

Unless we are home!

 

[knoxvol52]

Kansas walk off vs Oklahoma State 7-6 ..

 

[TheMookieMonster]

If we don’t host, it would be dumb. RPI of 9 is closer to a national seed than a 2-seed.

 

[Titans4Vols]

The whistler might be the only thing worse than MSU's cowbell nonsense.

H

He said in his post-game interview that he thought and still thinks it bounced off the scoreboard. Isn't that a HR if it did? No matter. Got the runs home!

I didn’t see the replay, but it looked to me like the ball was hit perfectly between the Right Aand Center fielders and bounced off the Center fielder’s glove at the base of the wall. I was afraid it was going to be caught, but thank goodness it wasn’t.

It was nice trip back from Tuscaloosa listening to game. Made my trip easy. Great Job Team. Building confidence in Bullpen huge going to Regional next week. GBO. In CHRIST Alone

 

[feathersax]

Rooting for Vandy should be insta China first ".nt ban.

Mod needed. @vol66

Yep. Today I was among a bunch of Tennessee haters, mostly from Alabama. Teen boy beside me, when he learned we were from Nashville asking "Why aren't you vandie fans? I replied, "I'd cheer for Communist China first.,"

wife had dinner ready as we entered the 12th
she hates baseball but dinner went down in front of the TV

I think it really needs to be emphasized just how many of the calls Coach V made panned out.

He gets so much criticism during the game thread from the knee-jerk crowd, but in a hard game that is defined by teams overcoming myriad failures, he pulls the right strings more often than not.

Think about how many players contributed today, and in so many different ways.

We are blessed to be witnessing a golden era in Tennessee baseball history. I hope this is just the beginning!

They did and they were against the odds. However, none of us know what he was thinking about saving pitchers for Saturday and Sunday. Fortunately, everything. Worked out for the best. The best part was the team digging in and pulling the last two games from the mouths of defeat. Congratulations to Coach and the team.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

For all the criticism he has been getting, a tip of the hat to Dean Curley tonight. Fielded the ball cleanly and threw to first with authority on 4 or 5 plays tonight.

I noticed he got his body in the correct position to throw to first base. That is a big deal.

 

[vol66]

Nice play OU.

it's alway a great day when you leave the tusks

 

[Voltrapnbama]

Nice play OU.

That was a very nice play! That one is tough to turn

 

[ArdentVol]

close call.
but how do you rate that jelly belly elephant or constipated capon?

 

[NighthawkVol]

Assuming Kuhns starts Saturday, we should have the following available in the bullpen:

Tanner Franklin
Dylan Loy
Andrew Behnke
Brayden Krenzel
Michael Sherman
Austin Breedlove (maybe?)

 

[Weezer]

We've knocked off Bama and faux UT. Part of me wants to continue the streak by knocking out Vandy. And then it would be fun to take out some piggies in the SEC CG. That would make for a very good tournament IMO.

 

[Ritzwatch]

I will take the day off tomorrow. a self imposed 24 hour ban,,

You deserve a mini-WTOB.

See you Saturday.

 

[volfannga]

The official SEC bracket has us filled as the home team but I wouldn't bet the farm.

It could be based upon seed. Since we beat the #1 it could be we will assume their place going forward.

The Oklahoma 1st baseman needs to benched immediately...

That was hard to watch
