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

[VolFanGBO]

I’m turning on MLB

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Vols not fighting today

 

[TheBigOne10]

Good heavens

 

[cncchris33]

This bunch ain't it.

 

[IAmTheBelvedere]

Hit 15 last night, down by 4 runs today and it feels insurmountable currently…

 

[theroyz71]

I would definitely leave this guy in now.

 

[Orange931]

It’s the 4th inning, breathe folks

 

[TheMookieMonster]

This is certainly not a good development for next weekend. Two bad Doyle outings in a row.

 

[LordVOLdemort]

I’m starting to wonder if that blister thing is lingering … he looked at his finger a minute ago

Tony said it was and they considered holding him out of the SECT. Honestly, I’d rather him be 100% in regional matchups

 

[ETNVolunteer1]

Just walked in. So if this blister is still this much of an issue why is he even throwing?

 

[Switch 625]

We have been getting clobbered with 2 outs.

 

[OL SMOKEY]

Should have went and got him one batter sooner. Dang it

 

[Weezer]

 

[volsagain]

…..what am I having for dinner?

A lot of us are having crow

 

[NOLAPhil]

Texas is the total opposite of us. We are talented, very talented, but they just play fundamental clean baseball. Goes a long way.

 

[SicEmSmokey33]

Same thing all year, get 2 outs and can't get off the field

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

Arvidson

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Two misplayed balls by the right fielder in one inning. No wonder they are scoring runs.

 

[LordVOLdemort]

More than pitching or lack of offense at times, it’s the errors that really have hurt this team. Take Curleys throw yesterday. If our offense hadn’t been hitting like that, that could’ve decided it.

 

[SpringBokVol]

Disaster

It's exactly why expecting this team to emerge from a regional, much less a super regional isn't reasonable. They can beat anyone on any given day, but somewhere along the line, the ability to string together strong performances left the ballpark and never returned. That isn't a recipe for success in the postseason.

Agreed, but good teams do just that

Apparently, he was adamant about throwing today. I don’t think it’s all blister, there were definitely some nerves today and last weekend. He’s tooo amped

 

[C-south]

So the horns want to play sissy ball.

If them tossing a no hitter by lobbing the ball over the plate is “sissy ball” then yea.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

This is certainly not a good development for next weekend. Two bad Doyle outings in a row.

I would have let his injury heal until next week's regional play. I doubt he will be 100% next week.
