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

How is the pitcher not warmed or tossed

 

[NighthawkVol]

Surprised they didn’t give Root a warning right there

Why? He’s not wearing orange.

 

[lilesrt]

What a bitch

He’d be great playing for us. We’re the king of trash talk.

 

[Orangeslide]

That pitcher been running that mouth all game. Why dont they ever get warnings or ejections like we do?

We gotta shut him up.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Ha, how so?

Hasn't homered every time up obviously

 

[KTrain]

So Root throwing out multiple F bombs and its crickets from the umps thats twice hes went off. Peebles get a game for less

 

[chuckiepoo]

That is BS! Peebles got tossed for less. Fuq Root…

 

[BradstarVols]

Ha, how so?

Causing hype but then having 2 bad at bats.

 

[84Volfan]

Such a pitiful double standard. I love the passion don't think Peebs should have gotten thrown out and don't think Root should either but you have to be consistent.

 

[Weezer]

Inconsistent rules are part of what makes baseball so damn frustrating. And that includes inconsistent strike zones.

 

[HLD]

Throw that POS out of this game! That is total BS. If you gesture at another player, it’s automatic expulsion! I would take a ****ing bat to that mother ****er!

 

[vol9799]

Root is a nut job. Hope we come back and beat his butt.

Would much rather send one at 108 off the bat right into his left knee. Then he can watch his team lose with an ice pack on his leg, but still be fine long term of course.

 

[volz2wallz]

3 up 3 down!!

 

[Purplehaze26]

Root is in Fischer head

 

[JCP201]

So they gave warning to us too

 

[volz2wallz]

Wilkerson just said warnings to both teams

 

[Vol737]

pitcher is punkin on fisher

Hopefully Fischer has the last word in a walk off HR for the win. I’d give Root up the road x 100. Start a brouhaha!!

 

[Deathandtaxes]

In my opinion Fischer won that battle getting in dudes head and the pitcher doesn’t even know it.

 

[drylo]

That’s unbelievable. But, at the same time, so believable.

 

[Bryan1]

If the Cardinals end up drafting Root, I'm switching my favorite pro team to the Braves. That's how much I can't stand this sack of ****

Wouldn't wnat to pick the Braves right now, they suck right now!

 

[SCSmokey]

Have to make him pay but AF hasn’t done it yet.

 

[patrick]

Plate ump is an arshat

 

[Switch 625]

Root was so out of line that the umps gave Tennessee a warning too. Sounds about right.

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

Both teams given warnings. What did we do?

 

[BradstarVols]

No he's not. The strike calls are the difference in this game

He's had 2 bad at bats. Had a walk there in the last at bat but swung at ball 4 and then swung at back to back fastballs (that he was never going to get) and struck out in the previous at bat.
