Texas lost. Haha!

C'mon Tennessee, spotting five runs?

[parabrave]

Well there goes my BYA.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Notre Dame walked into an absolute hornets nest last year, despite what their media and the Tennessee media are trying to make everyone think. This crowd is nothing compared to 14K. Literally double the amount of people, and trust me the niceties went out the window at first pitch of Game 1 last year. So they are plenty prepared for Tennessee fans. They also know if they win today and can get up tomorrow that crowd will be dead. Their entire athletic Dept is nothing but front runners.

They also tossed the CF - what did he say to the Ump?

[Activated Alpha]

I couldn't tell mainly because I can't read lips very well, but I definitely read 17 towards the home plate umpire. Vitello was lucky he also didn't get tossed. Dude just about ran into the batters box

Enough to get tossed, he is a jerk and not only getting kicked out of game he want be eligible to play tomorrow either.

Go ND!

[Vandownbytheriver]

Pretty sure he said "F****** horrible! F****** horrible!" You can't as a player do that and expect not to get tossed.

[TNDawg35]

You can’t show up an ump like that. If your gonna complain, face the pitcher and complain. Don’t look the up right in the face and tell him he is 17 horrible multiple times.

Then the pitching coach literally ran to the home plate ump and threw a tantrum. Vitello was actually calm. He was just asking who? Who? Then Gilbert was so astonished he got ejected. Like bitch what did you expect?

The baseball gods are real folks and they always have the final say…

Even if they lose, I still say he's the best. What he's done at Tenn is amazing. He's a total douche though, and I hope he does lose. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, the best team in baseball (college and pro) doesn't win with championships any consistency. It's almost always who gets hot at the right time.

He's not the best coach in his own state. He's just more exciting currently.

So far, better winning % than Polk, augie, Corbin, and casey. Hell, he has a better winning % at tenne-freaking-see than mainieri did at LSU. Martin and Bertman are the only greats that I can think of that have a better winning % than Vitello so far. Look, I get it, he's a huge douche. He's a punk. He's also a super talented coach that is doing an amazing job at a school with no history in the best baseball conference in the country. Just think about - Tenn hadn't been to a regional in 14 year when he was hired...

I wouldn't say they have no history. They were pretty good under Delmonico in the 1990s and early 2000s. He got them to 3 CWS, 8 regionals, and won 3 SEC titles in 20 years.

Yea, if ND wins I guess they should do a victory lap around the field shooting the bird at all the TN fans. Apparently that is acceptable behavior these days. I still can't believe the TN player that did that didn't get ejected and suspended. If a football player in the SEC did that, a sport where emotions run much higher, he would have been penalized and ejected from the game and likely suspended. Not sure how the TN player got by with his actions with no consequences.

Yeah well we had a coach that immediately took us to two CWS in his first two years. His wins/losses will average out just like Lemonis cws appearances will.

Tn or any team in the Sec will not dominate for long, it's getting more balance every year in baseball.

If anyone just saw that out at the plate where the VT guy slid in and tried to get his hand to the plate, I thought it was against the rule in college for the catcher to block off the plate like the OK catcher did there?

Second this. Their "fans" have been total pricks all year long. 90% of that town is either LSU or Bama fans, but they are all SMTT!!!!!! now that the baseball team is decent. I can't stand that area.

Ok I mean how do you miss an obviously HR which would have been a grand slam. That ball clearly Disappeared around the flag pole

[BuckyIsAB****]

Mustard Buzzards ain?t getting up after that

[maroonmania]

Man, is OM lucky or what? Inches from being down 4-3 yet still lead 3-0.

That was as clear a homerun as I've seen. I can't fathom what just happened.

No, it didn't. I initially thought it did but it was in front of the pole.

None whatsoever. Better chance than us, but still no chance. Lol

[KOdawg1]

I wouldn't say no shot.

They have serious deficiencies in the bullpen and defensively. Gotta have both to win in Omaha, but they're hot as hell at the plate. Their starting pitching has come around too.

Totally agree I?ve been home recovering from surgery the last two weeks and I?ve watched a lot of baseball thru regionals and now super regionals plus I?m huge college baseball fan. Neither Ole piss or the Eags I do not believe can beat most of the teams that are in other super regionals. Tn, Tx, Tam and Ar. Yes things can happen but neither Um or USM would strike fear in me if I was on another team

[Commercecomet24]

No, it didn't. I initially thought it did but it was in front of the pole.

This. When they slowed it down it was obvious it went in front of the foul pole. Foul ball. I thought for sure it was fair until they slowed it down, it definitely wasn't fair.

Not sure I’ve ever seen a starting pitcher throw 47 pitches in the 1st inning. Brutal to say the least.

Btw, team who wins first game in Super Regionals is 80% to take series.

This is missing context. He did not have these kind of stats when we turned him down

[SailingDawg]

Auburn nor Oregon State?s pitchers are doing well. 6-4 Auburn in the 3rd.

[KOdawg1]

This is missing context. He did not have these kind of stats when we turned him down

He hit .293/21 HR in 2019 and .273/18 HR in 2021 at Samford.

It's not missing context at all. I mean, obviously there was no way anyone would know he would hit .400 in the SEC, but the dude produced throughout his career.

We've taken transfers who have produced far less prior to coming here.

It was a mistake not to take him. Now if you argue that we didn't really have a team need for his position, that's a different argument.

But statistically, there's plenty of context.

[The Federalist Engineer]

This is missing context. He did not have these kind of stats when we turned him down

41 HRs in SoCon and about the same per-season run production as RJ Yeager, also from the SoCon

Glad MSU got Yeager, who had 27 HRs in the SoCon in 3 full seasons. Big boy got his 41 in just 2 full seasons

ESPN interviewer says that SEC strike zones are tighter, so DiChiara only swings at preferred pitches at Auburn. That's his secret to a 400 average and leading the SEC in Walks

[Commercecomet24]

Would've been great to have Sonny and hindsight is always 20/20 but we already had a 1B and With Hines coming in as a 1B/DH I'm sure the staff figured we had needs at other positions instead of carrying 3 guys that could only play 1B or DH. As I said hindsight is always great.

[Todd4State]

Crossed my mind today as well. Lemonis would definitely enter hot seat territory if that were to happen

What?

Why?

[BrunswickDawg]

What?

Why?

Because too many of our fans only really care about how we do compared to Ole Miss. Thise are the same people who say "if Leach goes 8-4 but loses to OM again, we should fire him because you can't lose to them 3 in a row!"

Looking like a good probability of having 5 of the 8 CWS teams be from the SEC. If so you would have Ark, Aub and OM on one side and TX A&M and TN on the other.

Yeah Dustin was always good defensively just an ok hitter in hs. He was really good on the mound in hs. When your dad been coaching in mlb as long Bobby has and you get to hang around those guys a lot I guess you pick up some stuff. I never thought he'd hit d1 pitching either.

My take with 3 outs left for USM:
They were seriously over rated as they dominated a weak conference.
They can't hit SEC pitching.
They can't win no matter how many their pitchers strike out if they can't score even one run.
OM drew a weak opponent in their super regional.
Oh, well. Can OM beat other SEC teams in Omaha?

Yep. You can be fit at 300 pounds but if that's the case you're also probably playing offensive or defensive line in the NFL or a professional body builder.

But you know if it encourages overweight people to exercise that's cool.
