I'm glad there's no midweek game this week. This gives the fellas time to rest and heal.

I agree. At this point we need to save every arm for the weekend.

Like Pavolony ..... we need him at full speed down the stretch.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

This is almost more fun than football season ... you know winning & all.

Hogs just busted loose in the 5th.

Up 10-2 on the Tigers.

Random question--is LNS the worst facility in the SEC?

I don’t think I have ever heard anyone say it’s worse than Mizzou, but there is a consensus on LNS being at the bottom of the conference.

Yes, we do. The fellas also have finals this week, so this will give them time to finish up their academics this semester.

Vitello also said in his postgame interview with Wilkerson and Ferrara that he's giving the team time off to enjoy the rest of the weekend. They've certainly earned it.

That may have been our most complete game of the year.
Some great defensive plays.
Solid pitching only gave up 2.
Bats solid with 11 runs.
No real F Ups.

And picked off 2 Wildcats to slam the door on their run game. Great all around game.

GO VOLS..... we are the team to beat when the bats are hot!!!! Number 11 right here ..... drink a beer per run is the way to go!

Is it space on campus? Seriously how expensive would it be to build a decent stadium...LNS cost 2.2 million 20 years ago...so put 20 million into a new one...that's pocket change to some of the donors http://www.kentucky.com/sports/college/kentucky-sports/uk-baseball/article110131222.html

Yes it’s at or near the bottom and not even close to most SEC stadiums or facilities.

Missouri, Georgia, Vandy, and TN are the bottom 4. One can debate which is the worst.

Here is a good rundown on the stadiums...from 2016 but still shows how far behind we are. http://www.kentucky.com/sports/college/kentucky-sports/uk-baseball/article110131222.html

 

[feathersax]

Way to go, Diamond VOLS! Once again I've kept a low profile so as not to be a jinx. Keep it going, Tennessee!

Says the man who’s team used the football stadiums bathrooms for baseball and makes you go up 3 levels of their basketball gym to get to the outfield bleachers then have to go down the same 3 levels to use the bathrooms in the football stadium. I missed 30 min of the game leaving the outfield to take a piss at Hawkins 2 years ago.

Space is one issue. Plans exist to renovate but I think it comes down to how do you fund it? My understanding is they have been waiting for some donors to help fund it. Maybe with all this interest some people might step up.

I love LNS, I have a blast when I go, but I guess some folk want more amenities.

I have to say it probably is one of the worst. Went to watch the Vols and cocks play in Columbia and was really impressed with their stadium.

I think the donors will be ready to help fund LNS renovations. That's what is being discussed now. We'll probably hear more details in the coming months.

My autistic son was a Junior Vol and would have went every weekend...he loved the fun things they did...he did like the kids area better at Smokies Stadium...we miss both because the Bay Bears did a terrible job at a decent stadium in Mobile at The Hank...there are things you can do with LNS now that would help with fan experience..me I'm good just having a beer and trying to pass on the dying art of scoring the game

 

[vol66]

Ole Miss takes the series from SC, goes for the sweep tonight.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

I've switched over to the Lady Vols softball game vs Auburn .... they just started.
I had to go to watchespn.com to tune them in. I haven't been able to see them much this year.

Update: 2-0 VOLS !!

 

[TN_gal]

Since our weekend series is already completed, which teams and games do we keep our eyes on today and tomorrow that may help us?

I’d like to see Vandy drop 2 to Florida. That would put us in a tie for the lead in the East and still 1 game ahead of Florida.

I think I’d rather see Vandy sweep the Gators. I’d rather lock up a bye than make the east a race between 3 teams.
