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

[Vol737]

Yeah Root is going complete game. Averaging less than 10 pitches per inning.

Yeah, he’s too good right now.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Zero hits, zero walks and zero energy for the first 9 batters....wth

 

[VFL1127]

Wow 29 pitches through 3 innings for Arky pitcher. Vols gotta do better working the count.

 

[Deathandtaxes]

This dude is pitching pretty well though.

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

Man why do we always struggle against Arkansas? Even years where we were the better team

 

[patrick]

28 fn pitches. Lol.

We look flat as a damn pancake. This team just can’t maintain that killer instinct.

 

[BradstarVols]

Is Root their "ace"?

 

[hUTch2002]

Gotta step up 2nd time through. Before that, no baserunners this inning!

 

[VolFan_stuck_in_the_901]

I kid y'all not, I despise Arkansas and their self-righteous bellend fans so much, I will literally root for LSU if the Hogs beat us to Omaha

 

[rockytop25]

Not good ABs at all to start

Need to start getting his pitch count up at the very least

 

[KTrain]

Bargo has gone from .310+ batting average to now .281 since postseason play. Real rough slump he is going through..

May be that nagging injury.

 

[C-south]

This dude is pitching pretty well though.

He’s throwing strikes and we just can’t hit them. It’s not like he’s throwing unhittable smoke.

 

[patrick]

how. that ball was gonna be a 50/50 ball to block as is and then phillips walked to the plate.

Lazy play by Phillips.

 

[Weezer]

We need two game threads. One for all the people who want to down the team, and one for everyone else.

 

[patrick]

May be that nagging injury.

Hamstring. And the way he isn’t hitting - he shouldn’t be in the game.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Our offense is dormant

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

Steal attempt incoming

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Phillips is giving up leadoff hits like he is paid to do it

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

Pitcher didn’t cover

Agree. Absolute lack of focus in delay to cover home....

 

[theroyz71]

We can't get a hit and can't get through an inning without allowing baserunners.

 

[Augustus McRae]

Don't know who I think is better. Davalan or Irish

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

Strikeout, double play, then let's hit some dongs

 

[patrick]

Zero hits, zero walks and zero energy for the first 9 batters....wth

Same old stuff.

 

[GetEmVols]

He’s throwing strikes and we just can’t hit them. It’s not like he’s throwing unhittable smoke.

Hard to hit them when you don’t swing the bat.

 

[TheBigOne10]

I love Bargs but I think Abernathy would give us more offensively to pressure Arky than him right now
