The Official Tennessee @ Arkansas Fayetteville Super Regional Game 1 (Sat. June 7 5PM EDT) (ESPN)

[BradentonVol]

I gonna sit this gameday thread out, internet friends. Won’t be able to take it if things go the way baseball sometimes goes.

My middle son was in a wreck in WNC yesterday morning. Airlifted to UT trauma with catastrophic leg injuries. A deputy behind him and a doctor in oncoming traffic gave him immediate attention, applying a tourniquet to stop two severed artery bleeds and save his life. He wrecked 5 minutes from a helipad, so I imagine he was in surgery in Knoxville less than 90 minutes from time of his wreck.

For those who pray, we covet those prayers for my Jacob, his brothers and me and his mother.

Small brain bleed that we need to stay small and low in pressure. That there be no dangerous infection from surgeries to save his legs. That he would breathe and swallow on his own.

As for the Vols?

Win or lose, it is just a game.

GBO!

Praying for your son and the family.

No way lead off batter should swing at 1st pitch of the game.

Not the start I was hoping for.

I’m fine with swinging at the first pitch. I figured Gavin would. He’s always aggressive early in at bats. I just hate we made it such a quick inning.

 

[TrapVol]

That first pitch looked like a strike.

Lead off job is to get on base.

 

[VolFan_stuck_in_the_901]

Not the team you wanna fall behind against, Marcus

 

[patrick]

Wow.

 

[volfan__18]

can’t throw a strike so far.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

My lord 4 pitch walk

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

Ump seemingly has a very tight zone. Some nice pitches in there from Phillips

 

[VFL1127]

Well a 4 pitch walk to start it off

 

[theroyz71]

Come on Marcus.

 

[volfan__18]

Ump seemingly has a very tight zone. Some nice pitches in there from Phillips

none were strikes tho. All off the plate.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Looks like Phillips is sharp

[WillisWG]

settle in Marcus no more free base runners

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

none were strikes tho. All off the plate.

My b. Watching on a tiny tv from a distance at a relative's house lol

 

[imw8n4u]

Let's turn one of those mythical double plays I see other teams execute.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Ump seemingly has a very tight zone. Some nice pitches in there from Phillips

Seemingly, except the curveball strike 3 ump called on Ensley was in a very similar location to some of those first few Phillips pitches. He already isn’t consistent.

 

[theroyz71]

I'm going to be sick of hearing about Aloy by the end of this series.

 

[Caz]

Wow, prayer are with you and the family my friend

 

[patrick]

That’s one.
