Tennessee baseball head coach Josh Elander met with the media following the Vols’ 12-8 series-opening loss to Alabama Friday in Knoxville.
Elander shared his thoughts on Tennessee’s poor pitching performances that included several free passes and what needs to be fixed ahead of tomorrow’s doubleheader.
Watch Elander’s entire post-game press conference below.
“Just really frustrating to watch,” Elander said on Tennessee’s pitching performance. “I mean, that’s as painful as, just to sit there, I mean over 20 free 90s, 10 walks, 6 hit-by-pitches. We talk about those guys all the time, we just want them to compete over the plate.

“I’d rather see four guys hit four home runs in a row than watch what we did. I don’t know if it’s lack of conviction or – there’s no excuses to be made – it was just really poor all the way around on the mound. We need to get better quickly and need to reset, flush, and be ready for tomorrow.”
