What’s the weather outlook for this evening?

 

[preacherman20]

If you don’t get on base, you can’t steal.

 

[patrick]

Good weather today it appears - thank you

 

[patrick]

If you don’t get on base, you can’t steal.

Goal is always not to let the other team get on base..... Marcus has been good for at least one guy on base per inning. Hoping he has an excellent outing today

If you don’t get on base, you can’t steal.

This is THE biggest key to controlling the runner game for MP tonight

 

[Orangeslide]

We play clean in the field, I like our chances. We will score runs against Cincy pitcher. In Tony we trust! Go Vols! LNS stadium should be whipped into a frenzy this evening! Throw strikes Marcus, hopefully the defense is locked In.

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

Time to win decisively today. How about a Phillips Fiesta?

 

[cardvolfan]

Worried about UC running on Phillips. But if they can’t hit his speed then they can’t run the bases, I suppose

A team like Cincinnati will be able to hit his fastball. The real question is how well Marcus can throw his off-speed stuff to keep them guessing so that they can’t time up his FB. This was the scenario Doyle faced last night.

No walks. Giving up A walk is as good as a double today.

An interesting Vol nugget here: Cannon Peebles is hitting .339 since the Lipscomb game on April 22nd. This is a streak that includes 17 games, with 15 of those games being SEC opponents.

Also, we have some arms lined up for the rest of the regionals. In addition to Phillips, we have AJ, Arvidson, Snead, Franklin, Kuhns, Krenzel, etc. I feel really hopeful about the pitching we have lined up in the stalls. Some real horses, but I hope we absolutely mash the ball tonight.

If we had been keeping people off base, nobody would be talking about this.

Doyle going deep with a big lead was just what the doctor ordered.

Once I had a girl on Rocky Top
Half bear, other half cat...

Had to send her back to Doc Moreau
Said for me to get her there STAT.

 

[7thgroupvolfan]

Let's get it on!

 

[BruisedOrange]

What’s the weather outlook for this evening?

As of now, the highest chance of rain in any hour is 20%... but this time yesterday there was even less chance of rain in the forecast. We'll see.

Goal is always not to let the other team get on base..... Marcus has been good for at least one guy on base per inning. Hoping he has an excellent outing today

If he can get us through 4 innings and 2-3 times through the lineup, then I feel like we are in a good spot to turn it over to the pen.
4 innings has been his “danger zone” all season and anything over 4 is a plus.
We’ve got this guys, have fun and enjoy some postseason baseball!
GBO!!

 

[HalfullVol]

What the heck, ESPN+??

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Let's win this one for coach Jones.

 

[imw8n4u]

No walks. Giving up A walk is as good as a double today.

Too often as good as a triple.

 

[Christian Lowe]

USC Upstate, my alma mater ties it up with UK.

Oh yeah, that was huge.

 

[StarRaider]

4-3 vs top 25 over the past month

 

[deatojl]

Doyle going deep with a big lead was just what the doctor ordered.

Having a big enough lead to be able to finish the game with guys that typically don't play a lot was a nice touch, too.

Behnke only threw 21 last night, right?
