Bama vs UT

[Bamamonts]

Alabama and Tennessee kick off conference play today. Hopefully it'll be a good first sec opener for the new coach Rob Vaughn. I like what I've seen from this team so far but the competition steps up today. Tennessee looks to have another really good team. Hopefully playing at The Joe will make the difference.
I tried to get the wife to go to the Saturday game but we got other things going on this weekend.

I saw they're playing in Tuscaloosa. Should be a good series. Be a great one if the Vols could get a sweep!

 

[Creek bottoms]

Good to move on to baseball. It looks like the basketball team has quit. I think they're tired of Connect.

Aj Russell isn't starting for UT today which should help bama some. Causey has been tough so far though. We will see what each team is against quality sec pitching. That's the biggest question I have as both teams have really hit well. It's one thing to hit bad pitching but a whole other to do it against the best in the nation

 

[Bamamonts]

Bama hit 2 home runs in the bottom of the first but UT had 3 strike outs.

 

[Displaced_Vol]

Yeah Causey strikes out the side, just a couple solo shots sandwiched in between lol.

Weather may play a factor this weekend according to one of the UT guys.

Should be a good series, both squads been playing well but now it gets real with SEC play

I'm very surprised at the atmosphere at the Alabama field. Kind of non existent for such a big series.

Burke just welcomed the new Alabama pitcher ️

It's definitely a light crowd. A lot of the students are gone on spring break.

 

[Bamamonts]

Tennessee has come back and hit a couple of big shots. Bama going to have to crank it up.

 

[Bamamonts]

Tennessee is swinging the bats.

 

[chris1976]

The Vols are so fun to watch.

They heard that there was a game today and they all met up at the 50.

 

[Gravey]

Always good to get game 1 anytime but especially on the road.

Yeah late start, weather wasn't the best and spring break probably hurt attendance some.

Another late start tonight

 

[PalsPal]

I watched the early innings. It's the first time I've seen them. Impressive start.

I had forgotten that we started last year like 4-14 in league play.

I wonder if last year they had some locker room issues with Ahuna or something?

 

[Bamamonts]

Just got to sit down and turn on the game. Bama up 3-0 in game 2. RTR!

 

[Gravey]

Vols have had a couple mental errors on the base path and a throwing error too that ended up as a triple with a free base home on the throw into the dugout. Bama definitely looking better through 3.

 

[Bamamonts]

Bama takes game 2. I can't name the Tennessee pitcher but he pitched great toward the end of the game. It's been a fun series so far. Looking forward to game 3.

Our most veteran arm starter wise. Not the most electric stuff but usually really good at getting guys out. Even though he'll get the L, the fact he settled in & saved our bullpen arms hopefully will payoff tomorrow.
I love SEC Baseball on Sunday afternoons, hope we get the bats going again in the rubber match
