It's SEC Network + right now or SEC Alternate as the announcer said which I have never been able to get.

Great in theory, sadly not at my house. It's okay, I'm a patient boy ;-)

Vandy three up, three down in top half of first.

Leiter has two outs and runners on first and second. Leiter is struggling a bit early. Strike zone seems to be moving a bit too.

0-0 after one.

Fly out ends UT "threat." UT reached on an infield hit, a wild pitch got the runner to second. Then a walk. Leiter was in the low 90s. The outside corner was very unstable. A very nice play by Noland for the first out or it might have been worse.

Bulger single up the middle. Rodriguez walks. Two on - no outs in top of second.

Game seems to be on SEC network now - so I will stop giving a blow by blow.

With weak-hitting Cooper Davis coming up (lefty/lefty),I think the pct play was to send the slow-footed Bulger.

Anyone know why UT’s first baseman has a chin strap on his hat and helmet? You can pretty much insert your joke here but I’m guessing concussions?

Chris Burke is a Vol. He is trying to be objective, but failing.

He is super excited that Leiter does not have his best stuff.

Ump just whiffed on a clear third strike. Again, the outside corner - this ump is totally inconsistent.

Leiter looks like he's trying to establish all his pitches, just not there yet. Seems to be uncharacteristically overthrowing a lot of pitches. Like USC game, fastball looks like his best pitch so far, though not that good yet today.

Leiter's pitch count is 39 after 2 innings. Not good.

Leiter found his curve in the third... a good sign.

My opinion, ump is giving UT pitcher a lot of strikes. As a consequence our guys are swinging at balls because they can’t trust the guy.

I praised the ump last night. This guy is bad. I won’t mention it again - but it is starting to take its toll on Leiter. More walks than normal, fewer ko’s and more pitches...

I think Chris Burke had a sexual moment in the bottom of the 4th.
