\u201cYeah, it\u2019s cool,\u201d Elander said about Wright and Grimmer making their starting lineup debuts. \u201cThere\u2019s just a lot that goes on behind the scenes, right? I mean, there\u2019s guy\u2019s \u2014 know, Garrett, his dream school was Tennessee. And now he\u2019s here, and then he gets (hurt) in the preseason \u2014 the hamate (bone) is just one of those deals that can go at any point. It\u2019s nothing that he did right or wrong, but he\u2019s going to hit the pause button, and then (Blake) Grimmer is battling the back a little bit.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose guys are working their tail off behind the scenes, and so has (Will) Haas and (Jax) Bishop. So today was a really cool day to be able to get everybody in the mix and everybody doing their job, but guys that are working hard behind the scenes that \u2014 especially Grimm \u2014 I mean, Wright, too, as well. Really good day for both those guys.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Photo via Tennessee Athletics Tennessee baseball head coach Josh Elander met with the media following the Vols\u2019 11-2…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":204883,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[94738,143,145,144,10929,94627],"class_list":{"0":"post-204882","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-oakland","8":"tag-josh-elander","9":"tag-oakland","10":"tag-oakland-headlines","11":"tag-oakland-news","12":"tag-tennessee-baseball","13":"tag-vols-baseball"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/204882","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=204882"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/204882\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/204883"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=204882"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=204882"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=204882"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
