LSU has 4 SEC games left 1 vs Bama and 3 vs A&M...they need to win all 4 to get to 14-16

Tennessee not being a punching bag anymore is going to make life a lot harder for some good teams in this conference having down years. We’re not there to fluff up the win column.

And I don’t care about hype. I have had very expensive and highly praised cult wines that I thought sucked.

Oh lawd!

 

[vol66]

Preakness in 30 minutes. Going to have to switch to Bourbon.

I will allow because it’s pregame for tomorrow.

 

[vol66]

MSU dropped 6 spots to 8 in RPI, keep handling business!

 

[Volsbaseballfan1]

What is needed for the Vols need to host super regionals?

I think the magic number is 2 sec wins

 

[NorCalVol67]

I am still grinning ear to ear over Max’s walkoff.

Hell to the F yeah! Me too!

Watching the Auburn v. Aggies game.. why is it a playable ball when a hit goes off the “green monster“ wall and falls back into the field of play but a HR if it hits the scoreboard and falls back in ?

Are they choosing Supers the same time as regionals or after the tourneys? I am a little lost with all of it.

Every park has idiosyncrasies. The yellow line on fences is the demarcation.

Heflin's postgame interview. Really impressive kid imo. BSB | Will Heflin Postgame (5.15)

Yea, I hear ya. What a game.

I think we make Hoover.

They picked the 20 options for the 16 Regionals, I think the top 8 part is still to be determined but we didn’t hurt our chances today and we’re getting some help.

Don’t jinx us.

 

[MagnoliaVol]

Should’ve could’ve would’ve can go both ways imo.
If the kid that was picked off at first last night were called out, the next at bat(HR) would’ve never happened and the hogs should’ve lost their first series of the year already.
GBO!!

Yeah and if several of our long balls we’ve hit over the weekend hadn’t died at the warning track, Ar-Kansas would have their first series loss. These teams have got to come to terms that Todd Raleigh and Dave Serrano are no longer in our dugout. You may beat us and even win the series against us, but it won’t be easy. These guys are gonna make you work for it. Get used to it, Hogs!!!

 

[VolnJC]

Georgia up on Gators 2-0...need Florida to lose so we can pull for them next week lol

 

[drawing dead]

Nah, they ain’t, this time of year, guys that have been around, it’s nothing new.

I don’t know how you guys feel, but I’m more worried about Kopps coming on tomorrow late in the game than I was of that other schools starters.

I wouldn't be worried about that. I watched last night’s at bats again. We literally beat the cover off the ball when he was on the mound.
Seriously we squared a ton of balls up that were either right to them, they dove and caught, or they jumped into the wall and caught it. He threw 66 pitches last night, he is begging for another Tommy John if he throws tomorrow.

Just chiming in with my own OMG

Was not able to watch or listen today. Got home about 5:00 and just scrolled through the thread to find out how we did. Pretty freaking epic read!!

Scoreboard is out of play

 

[arkyvol]

I was on the Arkansas board earlier and a few of their fans were bitching about Max’s bat flip and trot, one poster came out and said “if you don’t like the bat flip, dont give up the walk-off”.........so true!

The only reason I am in Arkansas is my precious wife who is Arkie through and througn. Because of her, I've been here a half century and put up with hog fans that long. According to them, Arkansas has never lost a game of anything that wasn't stolen. Vol fans can be obnoxious, but Hog fans have developed whining into a fine art. That aside, I love Arkansas (and my wife).

It’s just my nature, but we will find out soon enough.

Might I suggest we all drink to Frank Anderson this evening.

He’ll be the recipient of every toast in my house.

Cheers Coach.

Why the hell not!

And we won’t be there to win it all, just to get the pitching set up for a regional. Probably will go 1-2 or 2-2 and call it a day…..
