Lamkin gets the start. Aschenbeck and Stewart are ready. Actually, everyone is ready except Cortez. And I am including Prager in that, if only for an inning or a few outs.
Temperature: High around 100.
And the wind will be blowing IN.
Would be thinking about starting Targac over Chestnut after watching that last AB today?
Chestnut is in a bad way at the plate right now and even though Targac had is struggles tha season he’s capable of running one out of the park at any time if he get ahold of one. It would also give you a late game weapon on the bench in the form of Chestnut as a pinch runner.
Lefty for Tenn in Game one - #19. He stood at least 2-3 inches off the rubber when starting his motion. We could see it clear as day 30 rows up. Is it not illegal to start your motion without foot touching rubber?
Any word yet on what color s get our boys will be wearing tonight? Looking over some photos. Not sure if we are going to be Maroon and White or Red, White and Blue.
Win or lose there is nothing that can diminish the pleasure I have had watching this team every game, every week. Omaha is going to be our 2nd home for quite some time. Gig 'em and BTFKOutta Tennessee!
It is hot in Omaha today. It'll get into the 90s today with very little wind. What wind there is is blowing in.
Tennessee is wearing black tops and they're going through a full practice, including entire infield. The Vols have made 3 errors in two of the last three games.
A&M is wearing their home pinstripe whites (I think). They're taking BP indoors.
Planning to spend 4 days in Sugarland beginning 11 July. Looking for clean hotel near Constellation ball park in Sugarland. Cost is not major factor. Thanks in advance and BTHO of the Vols today. Gig em!
