Tennessee goes up 6-1 as Aggie catcher completely whiffs an easy play at the plate

Throw was up the line a bit. Heck of a slide by the Tennessee guy.

Great slide but the catcher never tried to move his glove

He tried, but he made a fatal mistake. He let the runner get between him and the throw. When he reached back to his right, the runner had made his move. You have to force the runner to your glove side.

Only chance the catcher had was to spin around and blindly put his glove in front of the plate

Aggies get six outs to get five runs

Shouldn’t he be gloving that on the baseline, rather than letting it get a foot past the line?

This is third, behind getting involved in a land war in Asia and going against a Sicilian when death is on the line.

Pretty much. To be more accurate, you have field it on the fair side of the line. That forces the runner to your left where the throw is taking your glove already. You also don’t risk the throw hitting the runner. The throw beat the runner, but catcher then had to reach back across his body on the tag.

None of them are a good outcome.

6-2 now

Beautiful slide. And overall a heck of a game so far, even though it’s opened up.

And it ain’t over yet. This is college ball. Lots can happen in five outs.

It’s 6-3

The kid who just singled home the 2nd run looks like he ought to be Jeff Kent’s kid.

Or in one out

Too soon!

You’re telling me

Latest rumor: Schlossnagle (sp?) to UT

That’s one way to fire up the old rivalry

I hope it is true. The Ags will go crazy.
