**Tennessee Game 2 Thread**

Ginn is not likely to throw this week.

Soreness? Plumlee did awesome, but offense let him down. Pop up city

Dang

Listening to Jim and Cohen tonight...we should all be calling for Cohen to yank Lemonis out of that dugout and take over. For the life of me...I do not know what made JC quit the head coaching job and leave it to, what now is, 3 more damn coaches.

Ha! I'll say this about that- if Cohen didn't want to be our coach anymore I'm glad he moved on to the AD spot or somewhere else. I felt the same way about Polk the first two times he came back too. I think Lemonis is a good coach overall but he needs to be a little more vocal with the umpires. We constantly get screwed and he just sits there like a bump on a log. I'm not saying that he needs to put on a show but at least say something from the dugout.

Y'all need to calm the hell down. We have 6 losses and lost on a call you may never see again in baseball.

Welcome to baseball. Shit happens. Y'all need to calm the hell down and step back from the ledge. We are gonna score 1 run sometimes. It happens. We are gonna lose on crap calls. It happens.

Tennessee can pitch. We didn't hit stuff we probably should have. Welcome to baseball. I've never seen a fan base melt as much as we do about a baseball loss. Why it's the toughest game to play.

Act like grown damn men who actually get the game of baseball folks. This game is obviously not the norm. That's why everyone is melting. Calm down and get some perspective. We win tomorrow.

He’s going to pitch tomorrow.

I'm worried about the entire team. I don't see us being a national seed and could easily see us slipping out of being a regional host. We only have 2 or 3 pitchers that are dependable and this "great" offense has primarily built its stats against weaker competition. The last 3 SEC games we've scored 2 runs or less in the normal 9 innings. Without the extra inning win last night we would be on a 4 game SEC losing streak.

Not having Ginn changes a lot of things for us. For the worse for sure. No two ways around it. But this team is just so inconsistent with their issues. Like I said- one week it's the pitching. The next it's the defense. Then after that it's the hitting.

I'm more mad that our coach barely did anything while "shit happened" than I am at the fact we lost to be honest with you.

[Dawgcap]

Damn some of y’all are amazing. Do you think we are gonna hit every game. So last week you shit on the pitching, this week the hitting. Guess what this shit happens but it’s amazing we have several who would of saved us with their fan coach expertise. Funny how Mississippi losing to UNA was embarrassing but guess what they are rolling again. Baseball is a game of streaks. You get hot then you’re not.

Y'all need to calm the hell down. We have 7 losses and lost on a call you may never see again in baseball.

It’s 6 not 7. And I’d like an explanation from the league on that call by the ump. First of all, time had been called, second Plumlee didn’t throw the ball into the dugout. He threw it between the dugout and home plate. The only way that ball ended up in the dugout is if a ball boy picked it up and carried it there. Either way, I want my apology from the league because that was the wrong call.

So what should he have done?

[Todd4State]

So what should he have done?

At least go out and tell the umpire that the call was BS and to get his head out of his ass. Yeah- you'll get kicked out but sometimes you have to do that in baseball.

[MarketingBully]

So what should he have done?

It was a screw job call. I’d of gotten thrown out protecting my player. Plumlee A) didn’t throw the ball into the dugout and B) time was called when he tossed the ball between home plate and the dugout to get another ball.

I'm tired of apologies from the SEC. I want them to get the calls right for a change.

[CadaverDawg]

Tomorrow is a really really big game now......So I won't get my hopes up

[Saltydog]

We're one freaking game over .500 in conference play. We should be better than that. I guess that game against Florida (who is not as good as advertised) still doesn't mean anything.

[Saltydog]

He?s going to pitch tomorrow.

Lemonis said on postgame show that it would be a game time decision.

It’s even worse. Plumlee motioned to the umpire to get a new ball before he tossed it and the ump motioned back like he granted him time only to then have a Psych move and rule the two base error. Shouldn’t that get you sanctioned by the league?

[79acctngdawg]

Just a question since I did not watch the game. Was the TN player still on the field when Plumlee threw the ball? If so the play was dead until ump called back in play....just saying.

[MarketingBully]

He’ll pitch. We lost today’s ****ing game.

[CadaverDawg]

We've still got series vs Ark, A&M, UGA, And OM.....so if we can't beat UT when allowing only 2 runs, we might need to pump the breaks on our expectations. Not saying we're not good...but we clearly aren't as good as we appeared early this season. The biggest hope is that we haven't peaked yet, and will crescendo from now going forward and peak postseason
