Postseason Baseball

[Displaced_Vol]

Vols going at it against the Tide right now in the SEC. Hoping people quit scheduling BS meetings so I can tune in from the office but it may not happen. Anybody watching and if so who did we start on the mound?

Heflin got the start. Top of the sixth has thrown 50 pitches. 1-0 alabama

 

[Displaced_Vol]

Interesting. May catch the last couple innings.

 

[Displaced_Vol]

Well game should have been over... what a mess. I love Tony Vitello, reading his lips talking to the umps was hilarious

 

[Gravey]

Saw they lost 3-2 in 11 and also some things on Facebook about BS interference call on a slide into second. Haven't seen anything but if true that sucks!

 

[Displaced_Vol]

Yep, it sucked.
Right before that Spence hit a line drive that the second baseman dropped and there was mass confusion on first base. That took 5 minutes or better to sort out and then the slide interference play took another 5 or 10 minutes. It was a messy 9th inning I'll say that much. I was at the office with a 2 hour commute so I left after the 10th.
I didn't get to see any of the pre or post game coverage so I am curious about his strategy starting Heflin. Not at all saying I think it should have been Dallas just wondering his strategy to it.

Bats cooking pretty good this morning.

I checked at 10:30 to see when they were playing and it was coming on then. Said I'll watch it and then work got in my way. Run ruled them in 8 so guess they got hot. Hope they can win a couple more.

Well my phone told me we played Bama at 4:00 eastern today. I tuned in and am watching the end of Vandy Ole Miss, figuring we're starting after they finish and come to find out we've already played?
Box score looks like it wasn't ever much a contest. Maybe I can catch the Florida game tomorrow.

 

[Displaced_Vol]

Feels weird not to run rule somebody but I'll take the shut out. Sewell was great I hadn't seen him pitch all year.

 

[PalsPal]

I haven't watched enough to know the players but I'm really enjoying these games.

 

[Displaced_Vol]

Arkansas beat ole miss in a tight one. 1 v 2, hope it lives up to the billing. Can't wait!

 

[Gravey]

I was watching my bonus son in a tournament so had to keep checking the ESPN app. Should be a good one tomorrow. GBO!!!

 

[Displaced_Vol]

Big Orange looks well represented in Hoover today!

 

[Displaced_Vol]

Didn't have enough. Hope we can regroup and not be drained for regionals.

Arkansas always seems to improve as the game gets deeper.

and we played worse of course

 

[PalsPal]

We had been getting the timely hits. We didn't today. Plus Ark is arguably the best team in the country. Hope we get to play them again!

If I'm not wrong, and I usually am, we've led in all 4 games against them this year. You just knew through the first 5 innings I guess that it wasn't going to be enough. Credit to Arkansas bad as it aggravates me they are the class of the league.

I believe that to be correct. Razorbacks are good, really good

Draws came out yesterday, hell of a draw for UT. Read somewhere they thought Wright State would end up a 2 seed in some region and lo & behold they're our #4.
oh well that's the way it goes I guess and hopefully we show up and end this season in good fashion.
