Announcer says “generous” strike call for Futrell. Laughable. Florida getting that call routinely.

I’m going to stop complaining about the zone because it’s useless, but there does seem to be a double standard.

Good decision to keep Futrell in after delay.

Austin had a good first at bat. His second one is even better. Gone. 1-1.

Vastine has also been swinging a good bat lately.

Can Hewitt advance Vastine?

Why sacrifice from 2nd to 3rd with nobody out? Makes absolutely no sense to give that out away when the runner is already in scoring position. And Espy is a fastball up in the zone hitter. He can't hit a breaking ball or a fastball down or away. He won't see a pitch he can hit tonight.

I have praised Espy’s catching. He has k’d in contact situations too often. That cost us.

These announcers are too much, I muted after the1st inning. I've given up on trying to figure out the SEC strike zone this year. And I agree, Fla pitchers getting strike calls that Futrell is not.

I think they are. Doesn't the home team broadcast go out on SEC+ telecast games?

There have been years that Vandy could overcome 1-5. Not this year, i'm afraid.

It is incredible how often our hitting a guy with 2strikes leads to disaster.

If they are, their performance is forgivable. If not, they should be forced to listen to their bias on a loop.
