Seems like everything that is close is going UT's way right now.

Nice play by 1B for 3rd out in the 5th. Still a lot of game to play.

We need to try to punch a few singles together. We seem to have extra trouble with off speed pitchers.

This guy is throwing a lot of curves and we need to start spanking singles. Top of the order.

Would like to see Bradfield show bunt and smoke one past third.

Leiter is actually doing pretty well in a hostile environment. He's just not getting any run support.

Burke just threw up in his mouth a little bit on the CJ 3-run bomb.

That might silence the "over rated" chants from the UT fans.

Rodriguez smacks a three run dinger for the lead. That showed some character, whatever happens the rest of the way.

We were completely out of sorts - but they gave us an opening. Chris Burke when Rodriguez caught the hanger: "uh oh." Very unbiased. : /

I understand Burke's reactions. I just wonder why the SEC had him work this series?

Nope. Over rated chant still coming.

It may be helping us.

Burke has been borderline unprofessional in this series. And I usually like him okay (for a Vol).

I agree, actually. I usually think he is fine and entertaining. I think UT is #5 and got spanked last night and Burkie just came out kind of fired up today.

I also understand why I feel he should tone it down a bit - because he is really being a homer today. But I get where he is coming from and I usually think he can be fairly insightful. ESPN knew he was a UT guy when they assigned him to this game rather than OM-MSU

Ump gave Gonzo a borderline call for a change - and it resulted in UT pitcher grooving one.

4-2 Vandy. Subtle things can really matter in baseball...

The thing is that Ben McDonald has called our LSU games and hasn’t been so obviously biased. This has been annoying.

4-3 now. Another UT homer.

I would pull Leiter here. Way over 100 pitches.

Murphy should not have been left in.

But the bullpen is depleted.

Ball is flying out of there today - but it is the walk and HBP that kill you.

Looks like it was blowing out on that one.
