The sweep was great! With strong confidence in each other and as a team, it gave me flashbacks of last year. This team has the pieces to make a serious run and maybe the timing is just right. Go basevols!Ole Miss proved last year that a team with a mediocre start can win it all if they just get to the regionals. Don't say the Vols will do the same but it appears the second half of the season could be a lot more fun than the first half. We can only hope.
They play a tougher schedule than about anybody. They played #15 TCU, #9 Oklahoma St., 3 games against #17 UCLA, Texas, Nebraska, Minnesota and #18 Maryland before conference play. Then swept #3 Ole Miss and took 2 of 3 from South Carolina. Your opinion doesn’t line up with the facts.
Of Vanderbilt. Beating those bastards is sweet. And they thought they owned college baseball just a couple yrs ago.
But them being 13-2 was a farce. They’re not as good as Fla or LSU or Ark IMO. They are very weak in the pitching dept.
Vanderbilt does not appear to be what they were in the pre-conference schedule.
Here is Vanderbilt's early SEC Scheduled
Ole Miss
@ Mississippi State
Georgia
@Missouri
South Carolina
Those first 4 weeks were very soft as the SEC decided to make Arkansas, LSU and Tennessee play a round robin of death.
Kentucky's schedule gets MUCH harder the last month of season and Vanderbilt is still a bit weaker than UK's. Vandy does not play LSU, Arkansas or Texas A&M (the top 3 teams in west)
Shutting him down is a feat in itself. He may could not hit in MLB right now, but he could play centerfield for any team right now.
