Rubber Game in Knoxville Thread

[57stratdawg]

Ginn starting.

 

[57stratdawg]

*** 1st Inning - Westburg with a single, but Allen grounds into an easy double play.

 

[bulldogcountry1]

There’s no reason for Allen to be batting 3rd at this point. I guess he was rewarded for hitting two ground balls yesterday.

 

[LovemesomeCroom]

Honestly, there is no reason for him to be batting at all. 10 for 49.

 

[benatmsu]

Ginn starting.

Man, can you believe Lemonis didn't punch that 2nd base ump in the throat when he went out there?
*****

 

[dawgoneyall]

Why?


Did their batter not try and hit a homer?

 

[Seinfeld]

I don't know why Ginn sat yesterday, but he does not look sharp. Game's barely even started, and he's having a lot of trouble locating pitches

 

[57stratdawg]

Tenn with a lead off single, then a double. 1-0 Vols.

 

[57stratdawg]

Another single. Runners on the corners.

3 hits, 1 out so far for Ginn.

 

[LovemesomeCroom]

He’s channeling his inner Plumlee. Ginn actually pitched in Plumlee’s body yesterday and vice versa today. Seriously.

 

[She Mate Me]

Why the hell can't we get off to a good start? I want to see a 17ing dominating performance somewhere against a solid team. 17!!

Sorry.

 

[Shadow34]

Game and series on the line right here in the first inning. Either minimize the damage or go home with our tails tucked

 

[Shadow34]

Our bats better wake up in a hurry

 

[57stratdawg]

Hot shot bounces off Allen, but Ginn covers. Runner scores.

2-0 Vols, 2 down.

 

[57stratdawg]

Ginn gets the K on a ball in the dirt. Man, that runner had 3rd stolen standing up. Ginn will have to do a better job watching the runners than that.

2-0 after 1.

 

[57stratdawg]

*** 2nd Inning - Mac K’s to start the inning. 1 down.

 

[Shadow34]

Time for some reverse mojo....... we are about to get ten runned and held to a couple hits. we will never break the above .500 in the SEC

 

[57stratdawg]

Foscue with a single. One on, one out for Skelton.

 

[Shadow34]

Skelton. The human double play.

 

[57stratdawg]

Skelton grounds into a double play. 2-0 Vols.

 

[57stratdawg]

Ginn out - Keegan James in...

 

[57stratdawg]

1-2-3 inning from James. Good to see. 2-0 MSU.

 

[57stratdawg]

*** 3rd Inning - ROWDY with a lead off solo shot! 2-1 Vols.

 

[Crazy Cotton]

Nice work

 

[57stratdawg]

Not much else though. 2-1 Vols.

 

[57stratdawg]

Lead off groundout for James. Then a breaking ball gets a Vols batter in the back.

1 on, 1 out.

 

[57stratdawg]

Another HBP. 2 on, 1 out.

 

[57stratdawg]

Single. 3-1 Vols.

 

[bruiser.sixpack]

Yeah... I don’t think 1 run is going to win this one either.

 

[57stratdawg]

Ball gets by Skelton. This is ****** baseball.

 

[Shadow34]

Mind as well get on the plane now. Mandatory batting practice until Monday classes start

 

[She Mate Me]

I feel confident in saying that if we don't start hitting and scoring real soon, this is gonna get embarassing.

 

[57stratdawg]

Ground ball snagged by James hangs the runner out to dry. 2 down, but runners still at 2nd and 3rd.

 

[Shamoan]

This team is a head case.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

The end of that inning might have saved the game for us. What a great job of working out of a self made jam by James.

Rally time!

 

[57stratdawg]

*** 4th Inning - Good start. Back to back singles from Rowdy and Allen.

Mac up with 2 on, no outs.

 

[She Mate Me]

I'm really over our aggressively stupid baserunning this year. Sue me.

 

[57stratdawg]

Mac with a pop fly base hit, but Allen gets gunned down at 3rd. Something about never making the 1st or 3rd...?

3-2, 1 on (2nd), 1 out.

 

[57stratdawg]

Foscue gets a cement mixer, but pops it to left. 2 down.

 

[57stratdawg]

Skelton HBP. Lucky that didn’t catch a hand.

2 on, 2 outs.

Tenn might be making a pitching change.
