Well A&M can hit, meanwhile we have 4 guys in the lineup who are automatic outs. I don’t think it’s an overreaction to say our hitting stinks. 

It’s definitely frustrating to see the inconsistency at the bottom of the order and with the pitching. But I’m not ready to say we did the Aggies a favor taking Schloss

[Jeff Howe]

Wright ends an 8-pitch at-bat with a walk.

[Jeff Howe]

That's it for Crossland.

[Jeff Howe]

Ethan Walker will come in to face the lefty Grimmer.

Would be shocked if we even got to Omaha. Not a great baseball team. 

Congrats, you’ve felt what every other team has felt at some point this year outside of UCLA.

[Jeff Howe]

Walker strikes out Grimmer to end the inning.

Three runs on four hits for the Vols with one Texas error and two left on base.

[Jeff Howe]

End of 5: Tennessee 9, Texas 5

[THookem]

Do we practice?

That’s fine, it’s probably harsh but considering the sh*t CDC pulled to pluck him, all we have to show is getting bounced by a satellite school at home.

[Jeff Howe]

The Longhorns go down in order in the sixth, including Ashton Larson's pinch-hit pop-out in place of Monsour.

[Jeff Howe]

M6: Tennessee 9, Texas 5

[Jeff Howe]

Brody Walls is on the mound for the sixth.

[Alex Butler]

I’m in the minority I’m sure but I just want us to get through the rest of the reg season relatively unscathed and guys get healthy for post season. Losing to TN, not great, but I’m more interested how we can work through these last few weeks and get hit for a trip to Omaha!

[Jeff Howe]

Clark singles up the middle and then a two-run bomb to right by Chapman makes it 11-5.

[BurntOrangeDriller]

Well… at least the girls won. That’s enough baseball for me today 

[Jeff Howe]

Six runs with two outs for Tennessee so far.

Its the fact that he didnt get more transfers that were of impact you dont see miller taking chances in year two why schloss did is questionable. If we are being honest borba,arod,mendoza,temo are pretty mid at hitting those are 4 guys that dont scare teams of going yard.

Schloss took two transfers who got drafted, one of whom swore to the staff he was coming regardless.

Nothing is going right this series and don’t like the way this team is trending. Seems awfully similar to last szn

The bigger issue is having a guy here that we couldn’t get productive.

So you think quality are coming here to sit the bench?

[Clark Douglas]

@Jeff Howe could the ARod injury have been managed better by the staff? 
Just hard for me to believe a hand injury from last yr should be having the effect its had this szn. He’s not even remotely close to what he was last before the injury and doesn’t seem to be getting better. Really holding this team back.
