Ryan Lackey

@jessegbo Looked like a no brainer tonight. Not being smart I’m just saying he’s sec ready. He’s not struggled really yet. I’ve seen arvi struggle multiple times since he’s been here and more than once this year. I don’t disagree he should have been fine but I don’t trust him.

@rlackey23 1) Cams great but hes a freshman with limited SEC experience. To act like its a no brainer decision is laughable. Youd be bitching about E putting in a freshman if Cam went in and sucked. 2) Again, one of your top 2 relievers loading the bases is a talent issue. Not managerial.

I was dead wrong about Elander

@jessegbo @gmannVOLS I act like that game was badly needed and you had your best sitting there and who in most opinions would have closed this game out easily but got passed over for a dude that has had a few games he’s struggled in. Use your best when you have the game in hand. Not some maybe guy

@rlackey23 @gmannVOLS Good lord, whatever, 2nd best reliever, then. It doesnt change that if you cant count on that guy to not load the bases you have a TALENT problem. Arvy was supposed to be a guy you count on. You act like Elander put in some slapdick. No, Arvy has to not suck in that spot.

@ryanschumpert00 And he ran into traffic and got ran over. Leash was way too long

Josh Elander said the plan was to go to Brandon Arvidson to start the eighth inning. They then wanted Arvidson to get through Jake Brown before going to Bo Rhudy. "Again, got confidence in him. I want to give him a leash and let him run." rockytopinsider.com/2026/04/03/jos…

@dom_lucre Loose loose play on the word “singing”

🔥🚨BREAKING: Kanye West made history, after being blackballed by the entire industry, Ye 80k people singing "Heartless" with him at SoFi Stadium Ye: "That's what 80,000 people sound like ladies and gentlemen... they said I'd never be back in the states. Two sold-out concerts.”

@gus_knudsen @stephenasmith She had already shaken his hand a few mins earlier….

Gino Auriemma waited at midcourt for the traditional pregame handshake with Dawn Staley. The standard protocol between head coaches, for about 3 minutes and she never showed. He was already frustrated after a tough loss where his team got dominated defensively and the officiating didn’t help.

That was some straight B.S. from the GREAT Geno Auriemma. Never — ever — thought I’d see the day when the greatest woman’s college coach in history would go down so CLASSLESSLY!!! Horrible look, and should be called out for it. He got OUTCOACHED. Plain and simple. And gets in her face like she did something wrong to him instead of being gracious. Had Dawn Staley acted like that we would be all over her. #HorribleGENO!

@benmckee14 @VolsUpdates16 Smh well he’s one of the only people left who has confidence at this point in these guys. Not knocking them but they’ve been bad so I don’t now why he has that.

Josh Elander referenced Landon Mack's diabetes bothering him and being at 94 pitches when I asked about bringing him back out for the eighth. Elander said he did not consider pulling Arvidson in the midst of his three straight walks because he has confidence in him.

@scubacat9 @More_Issues He had appenzeller who has been solid and steady and pretty much a star. If he hasn’t figure that out yet….After Arvi waked the second one I was yelling out appenzeller in. This game was needed in the worst way.

@rlackey23 @More_Issues He obviously doesn't know which pitchers he can rely on, which is his part of his job. Either that or he doesn't have any.

Final: Tennessee 5, LSU 7 Tennessee blew a 4-1 lead in the 8th. What are your thoughts on this team?

@VFLJess82 The way they are losing these games is just brutal

2022 Ole Miss was last one in and ended up last one standing at the end. Not saying that’s gonna happen here, but don’t check out on this team just yet.

@sthorn_23 Not the best two. Not even the best. That would be appenzeller and would have been a W but nope we gotta save him for game 2 with blanco smh. Should have went for the more for sure W

Elander didn’t do anything wrong tonight. Best 2 arms out the pen didn’t have it and the bats did nothing in medium or high leverage situations. The situation might be dire in Knoxville.

@the1stNoeI I was yelling bring appenzeller in after arvi walked the second batter. I get we don’t want to burn him for 6 outs but this game felt like a have to have after last weekend and honestly this whole season

Maybe 2 of our starters need to start and finish 1 game, the 3rd starts game 2, and bring in Appenzeller to finish game 2 and pray you get 2 wins. Then piece it together for game 3. Hell, try anything at this point.

@ChadRandall1989 @SECNetwork @Vol_Baseball Chapman is probably the best defensive right fielder in the sec. He doesn’t always rake at the plate but he’s elite in the field and has a cannon for an arm

@SECNetwork @Vol_Baseball Why does every teams outfield turn into Willie Mays when they play LSU this year? Starting to get aggravating. LSU has had the worst luck this year getting the big hits to fall.

Elite HR robbery from Reese Chapman 😱 @Vol_baseball | #SCtop10

@jessegbo @gmannVOLS That is not our best reliever. Appenzeller is your best and we needed this game in the worst way. Saving him for tomorrow with Blanco to keep them paired up cost us this gane

@gmannVOLS Im not saying hes gonna be here in 3 years, but I dont see how putting in your best reliever against the bottom of their order and that guy proceeding to walk 3 straight is Elanders fault. At some point, the players have to make plays.

@RoushKSR That’s quite the way to admit you were totally wrong and have no clue what you are talking about. Your statement sure showed us and going by your previous statement I’m sure you will be correct 😂

Dear Vol Twitter, I don’t care if he’s a grad transfer. He still will not see a regular season victory over Mark Pope or a Final Four. Enjoy!

A week before the portal officially opens. What rules?

@RoushKSR At least be accurate about the situation and be accurate about what you are saying if you want to be a sports reporter and taken seriously. That’s apprentice level work you did here. Wouldn’t blame On3 if they demoted you

@ewarren Imagine talk quit taxing us to death and never stole our money you forced us to put into social security so we could retire. Thanks for all you and both sides do for us….

Imagine if instead of funding forever wars in the Middle East, the United States delivered universal child care and health care for all Americans.

@ms_st_prods We sucked for weeks a couple years ago and went to the World Series. It’s a sign of a young team which we are

@rlackey23 Sure it’s baseball but yall have sucked for weeks at this point. That’s not baseball, that’s the sign of a bad team.

Here are my 2026 SEC Baseball Predictions: 16: Missouri🐯 15: South Carolina🐓 14: Kentucky🐱 13: Oklahoma👴🏼 12: Florida🐊 11: Texas A&M👍 10: Ole Miss🐿️ 9: Auburn🦅 8. Tennessee 🍊 7: Georgia 🐩 6: Alabama 🐘 5: Vanderbilt ⚓️ 4: Arkansas🐗 3:LSU 🐅 2: Texas 🐮 1:Mississippi State 🐶

@ms_st_prods On paper they were and still are. It’s baseball. That’s how it goes sometimes. You know that

@rlackey23 this aged wel

@BoCamaro Some people are miserable and make it their life mission to make everyone else miserable too. I’m sorry they are that way

Guys. I talk about business, money, investing, travel, Tennessee sports, charity, and more recently(and most importantly), a lot about Jesus. I'm a middle aged, overweight, autistic man. I know I am not everyone's cup of tea. I get it. Just unfollow me. I won't hold it against you at all. I understand. But you don't ever have to see me on here. It's pretty easy to make me go away. 🤷‍♂️ If you just show up to argue on every post and never ever have anything constructive or kind to say, just move on? Why would you continually scream at me every time you see my posts? It makes no sense. I don't seek out your posts to cause you grief. I don't ask or take anything from anyone at all. I don't sell anything. I don't try to profit from anything. I just talk. I mean, other than a big move in spirituality, I have not changed on here. I am the same "arrogant", "narcissistic", whatever that I have been since day one. 🤷‍♂️ Just... go elsewhere.

@Evis__ @passiveace @901whodat Engagement not entrapment

@Evis__ @passiveace @901whodat Yeah….and? A year is long enough to say hey we want to get married in the future and we are committing to that idea now as a couple. Kinda what an entrapment is…..

3-28 just got even cooler 💖
