And home they will stay. No chance to improve their all time record in Omaha (0 and 2).
Ahhhh, Versus, you caught that, as well. I almost fell out of my chair when he said that. Don’t mean to detract from your comment, but he said they had the most offensive season in college baseball history! Like many said, they’ll not win it all….when you continue with the arrogance they showed, it will bite you every time. It was satisfying to see Gilbert being thrown out at second on a wild pitch!!Versus75 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 12, 2022 3:02 pm "Tennessee has been the most offensive team in the country all season."
I'm just surprised it took him so long to figure that out. When Gilbert and the assistant coach were tossed on Friday, Peterson started off by saying, "You can't do that in a big game like this... blah ... blah ... blah." Of course, later he tried to cover his butt by saying it was the correct call.
They will most likely lose 8/9 starters and one starting pitcher and 4 top relievers— that is a lotBILTMORE wrote: ↑Mon Jun 13, 2022 3:18 pm Thoroughly enjoyed the Irish win.
I know ND chaffs a lot of fans of a lot of teams including a few VU fans, but...
even if that's you, take solace in knowing that losing to ND inflicts as much pain on UT fans as almost any other team. They HAAAATE ND.
Also, agree with the criticisms of Vitello. He kept his starter in 1-2 innings too long. Top of 7, the announcer was saying, "this is the right move by Tennessee, their starters stuff is still all working and he's got plenty of juice left. Get as many pitches out of him as you can." And I was like whaaa?? His stuff may still be "working" but ND batters have now seen all of his pitches, multiple times and have been connecting with the ball - a lot. ND had a few base running mishaps that bailed out the Vols up to that point. Sure enough - right then it was boom! boom! ballgame!
Meanwhile, ND'S coach was making moves as if a trip to Omaha was on the line - which it was! I don't believe UT will be a contender next year. 1) everyone hates them and will be gunning for them. 2) they lose some offense 3) their coach is a headcase.
I hope you are right, but that is what I thought coming in to this year. They will have their top 3 starters (Dollander, Beam, Burns) back next year, plus just as much offense as we will have. As much as I hate to say it, I think that they will be a pretty good program as long as Vitello is there, and I don't think he is going anywhere anytime soon.Doubledore wrote: ↑Mon Jun 13, 2022 6:02 pmThey will most likely lose 8/9 starters and one starting pitcher and 4 top relievers— that is a lotBILTMORE wrote: ↑Mon Jun 13, 2022 3:18 pm Thoroughly enjoyed the Irish win.
