The Official #15 Tennessee vs Iona Weekend Series Thread (Friday 4:30PM) (Saturday 1PM) (Sunday 1PM)

A half decent high school team would be more of a challenge.

 

[OldTimer]

I think you can count on it. That match up always gets a little chippy.

The only reason I tuned in today was to not piss off the baseball gods. This is just a bad team.

With that said, for the Pick’em I’m thinking UT -10.5

 

[BigDave]

Fitz on the bump . . . another Freshman . . . we are so loaded with quality arms!

Edit: Does anyone have our team ERA through the first six games?

At least we are at the point of complaining about beating the hell out of opponents.

Good problem to have. Maybe a first for us here on VolNation.

Sounds good.

That match up can easily go both ways…blow out or nail biter.

 

[BigDave]

Fitz gets a double play and strike out . . . . what a group of young talent on the mound!

 

[Sea Ray]

OK, call it on account of rain now...Official game

.67

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Bottom of the 5th ..... VOLS 11-0. 2 more to go before calling it.

 

[BigDave]

.67

Thank you @OldTimer . . . . And the 0.67 is shrinking by the pitch . . . probably be around 0.55 or so after this game if we keep the shutout going.

Edit: Dollander needs to get with the program, 2.70 ERA is just unacceptable!! LOL

bats quieted during kunch break, i assume

Something I’ve been thinking about this week...
We can all probably agree that while Dave Serrano didn’t exactly get the results in the W/L column, he’s a pretty dang good baseball coach and knows how to run a program. Did he leave a solid enough foundation within the program and lay the groundwork to help Vitello get some early success or do we not give him any credit for the state of the program?
It’s just always been a mystery to me, why he didn’t have more success with this program.
GBO!!

 

[BigDave]

Another Freshman on the mound, Grant Cherry . . . it's like an endless stream of Freshman whether on the mound or in the field. CTV and CFA are doing a fantastic job of loading up on loaded talent.

In my opinion, CDS did a really good job of setting the table for CTV and CFA . . . he had talent in the cupboard but I think CDS made a lot of inroads to recruiting within the state and just look at our roster . . . many many Tennessee kids. Just my $0.02 . . .

Yeah, the MLB draft didn’t help Serrano either.
GBO!!

Dave left CTV some decent players. Luc, Redmond and Evan are still here. Tony also brought in quality players year 1 and up to now.

 

[ArdentVol]

one of better players out of ala
vestavia hills usually plays stronfg ske\d

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Our players are so bored by this huge score they're losing focus & concentration.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Iona actin’ like they wanna play 9 innings.
GBO!!

 

[BigDave]

Holy cow . . . mid-inning pitching change . . . Cherry being pulled, not completing the 6th . . . I believe that this is the first time this season . . .

He's all over the place. CTV had no choice

We thinking the same thing BigDave.

 

[Mr French]

Season over. It was fun boys.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

The other guys squeeze out 2 RBIs when the bases are loaded.
