weird looking dude for sure

100% chance he drives a lifted truck, drinks Natty Lights by the pack and has a micro penis

Proud of the boys today. Had a great time in the ballpark and have no doubt we can win the next two.

Never. If I can't run naked, are we really even free?

Nudist colonialist!

On a lark, I googled "nudist colonies in Himalayas."
No...!

So go freeze your rights off, Yeti!

 

[SubVet676]

What would you do to solve this?



Oh please. Tech can't fix everything. Sometimes you just have to grow up and take your medicine.

Remember this the next time you post in the politics thread.

 

[Voltrapnbama]

Root was fine, but 6ks isn't impressive. Contact was there, just weak and not in the gaps.

So that makes a pitcher not impressive? Not everyone is strikeout pitchers lmao

 

[2EastTnVols]

I'm not sure what he did was suspension worthy.... I saw it 3 times today by Root

Agree. I'm sure the ump that ejected Cannon was patting himself on the back tonight. Did I hear he's from Arkansas?

Welcome to the Forum, read the rules if ya haven’t already, happy posting.

 

[2EastTnVols]

I missed a fair portion of the game today. What did Root say?

 

[preacherman20]

But I bet you would believe we got short changed by the ump on balls and strikes. We got 2 more to win . Believe we do IT .

Yes. But Root also pitched really good. I just don’t know how he did not get ejected

 

[BowlBrother85]

Nah they’d choke

There is never a bad time to post this .... when talking about Arky choking in a thread where their classless fans are also being discussed.




^^^^ The biggest choke ever. ^^^^

That should never have been the 2nd baseman's play. My mood has improved just by watching this once. LOL.

Lord knows but he yapped and pointed at Fischer all the way from the mound to the dugout.
It's was definitely an ejection worthy situation.
Fischer came back and smashed a homer.

Root looked like someone you'd see in a Deliverance movie squeal like pig

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Not to get all mathy, but it is actually Arkansas at 79% and Vols at 21% to advance

I wonder, of those 79% that advanced, how many played against the opposing ace in game 2?

 

[HLD]

Arkansas beat NC State 21-2 in game one of the super regionals in 2021 before getting ousted in games 2/3. Win tomorrow and the pressure on the Hogs will be immense in a game 3 scenario. Play loose and light em up. We have them right where we want them.

With TV I will never count out our boys. We can win this SR if we get hungry and want to put on a show. And, it wouldn’t hurt if some bats would really come to life.

 

[vol66]

Yes. But Root also pitched really good. I just don’t know how he did not get ejey

All I got on this…when you got Doyle and Fish going nuts and acting like they own the place, and I love it, really do…but you can’t go to somebody else’s house and expect there ain’t gonna be some home cooking. Showing up the the umps, showing up the other team…better back it up. Margin for error, which is already small becomes smaller. All you have to do is watch the exuberance when they K’d Fish and the silence on the HR. That wasn’t in the moment, everyone in the stadium knew it before the game started.

I agree, Root had stuff.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Bargo gets blowed away. Damn. On to tomorrow. Go Liam.

We have to score at least one run to win. Can they do it? We will see.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Fischer kept the streak but we needed a baserunner. I wasn't feeling it today, to be honest. Doesn't seem like hawgs fans were either. Very quiet

The ball going under Curley’s glove should have been an out at first base. However, it was ruled a hit. That was the difference in the game.Until we learn to hit the off speed stuff, we will have problems scoring against those kind of pitchers

 

[BruisedOrange]

Just a baseball question here. On the passed ball...

...if the catcher throws the ball at this point and leads the pitcher, and his throw hits the batter (who is moving away from the plate), what would the correct call be?

 

[VOLLeeann]

Grow up? Seriously? I’m a grown man.

MLB has a track man during live telecasts. While they don’t use the challenges or technology yet in games, it’s coming. College won’t do it because the umpires are worse. Why should we let human bias or error call it when technology can fix it? At least with challenges.

By the way, I’ve also umpired baseball and officiated basketball. I guess we should just put our head in the sand and say “oh well.”

You didn't answer my question, Grown Man. What are you going to do to upgrade the human element in baseball sports officiating.

'presite that , Noob Registered yesterday? Read a lot I bet.

Or...

You hold them accountable. How difficult is that? Technology provides the answers, and they can be graded. No one’s perfect, but consistency is an issue. It’s not rocket science.

First, Lawless should have thrown the ball to the pitcher. He'll learn.

My understanding (I used to be a catcher) ... the batter has to make an effort to get away from the play at the plate. The batter is doing this. So, if the thrown ball hits the batter or his bat, then it is not interference and the ball is alive and in play.

However, if the batter were not making an effort, and either he gets in the way of the pitcher or catcher, or the ball hits the batter or the bat, then this is batter interference. Batter is out, runner returns to third.

Again, that's my best understanding. Maybe someone with umping experience can correct me if I'm wrong.

Tough break today, but it’s nowhere close to over. This whole 80% 20% really doesn’t bother me at all. Today was just rough. You guys even have me giving ole rooty tooty the evil eye. The SOB can pitch though, and pitched very well today unfortunately, but he is out of the equation now.

However, Doyle is just about to step up and into the equation. With no blister issues this time. I think Liam will come out on fire, the shoe is now on the other foot. You think he wasn’t watching how Root was acting? The whole team is gonna probably have a bit extra tomorrow. So I say with Liam you guys take it tomorrow. 80-20 is going to mean nothing tomorrow.

Heck, only lost by 1 run even after everything and with getting all of two hits. Truth is you basically spotted the winning run with the passed ball. You took their best shot and really could have easily come out on top. I sincerely think that Arky won’t fair so well tomorrow. The bats will get hot and Liam will feed off of it and the circumstances and dominate the pigs. I mean do their odds stay at 80% after TN evens things up by blowing the pigs out?

What sticks out to me is you lost by a single run. You guys had Two hits and several costly errors in their house and barely lost. Tomorrow is going to be a big day for 2025 TN baseball. In fact, as you guys like to say, the offense is gonna bring the Big Dongs tomorrow, and there will be nothing that Fresh and Fruity will be able to do about it but sit there and watch as the city of Fayetteville gets completely Donged. Let’s see if he has all of that fiery piss and vinegar tomorrow as he sits there helplessly. I’m glad he acted the way he did, it’s gonna make tmw that much sweeter for you guys. Seriously, y’all will enjoy this.

Or at least that’s briefly the way I see this going.

I don’t really know the words and don’t care to. He owned us and has every right to talk ****. The game is soft now.

The pitcher was not close to the plate! Stone did the only thing he could have done!
