The Official #5 Tennessee @ Texas A&M Weekend Series Thread (Game 1 Saturday @ 3PM) (Game 2 Saturday @ 5PM) (Game 3 Sunday @ 1PM)

[BruinVol]

I do believe we have a better chance of winning a regional than the SEC tourney. An early exit from Hoover might be an advantage.

Way way way more chance of winning a regional than the sec tourney and I’ll even go further

A way better chance of going to Omaha


Hell even winning a natty would be easier due to how long and Drawn out the CWS is which allows the pitching depth to recover

 

[OldTimer]

I’m just pumped we’re not talking about what it takes to get to Hoover.

Seriously, remember the days when we were figuring out who had to lose in front of us and we needed to sweep someone the last weekend just to get in....Georgia had to lose and we swept Miss State if I recall, what was that, 5-6 years ago?

I love your optimism.

 

[Vols330]

Fully hypothetical... Would you rather win an SEC Championship or a Regional?

 

[drawing dead]

Don’t play the what if game. This team has won a lot of close come from behind games as well. It evens out and this team is over achieving to be honest. There aren’t many can’t miss draft guys on this team like most of the SEC has

Besides Rocker and Leiter who does Vandy have that is can’t miss draft guys?

Don’t say Bradfield because he is a 2 tool guy. Hits for avg and speed, but noodle arm and no power. He isn’t high on any MLB boards.

 

[BruinVol]

I love your optimism.

Lol I really wasn’t being optimistic I just think winning the SEC tourney requires a better deeper pitching staff than winning the CWS

Or losing the first game to the 5 seed in dramatic fashion, heart breaking.

I disagree, yer being optimistic.

 

[BruinVol]

Vandy has a plethora of top 10 round guys

But yea two guys that are top 5 overall picks kind of makes my point

The Vols have one first round type talent and he’s a freshmen

 

[BruinVol]

I disagree, yer being optimistic.

Lol

Ok guilty

 

[Crossvilleman]

Besides Rocker and Leiter who does Vandy have that is can’t miss draft guys?

Bradfield looks good

 

[vol66]

Vandy has a plethora of top 10 round guys

The question shouldn’t be who Vandy has, who do we have?

 

[BruinVol]

The question shouldn’t be who Vandy has, who do we have?

Tidwell is the only “can’t miss” draft guy we have and he’s a freshman

Lmao! Besides?

Top 10 round guys is very general and both squads have those. I thought we were talking cannot miss which is top 2 rounds.

 

[txbo]

No, he caught you Bruin lol

 

[6-4-3]

Will be interesting to see how many draft guys we actually have this summer

 

[vol66]

Tidwell is the only “can’t miss” draft guy we have and he’s a freshman

If this weekend is dbl elimination, post season... let’s see... Tamu ain’t exactly top notch pitching, ya know?

 

[BruinVol]

Lmao! Besides?

Lol

 

[BruinVol]

Will be interesting to see how many draft guys we actually have this summer

where will Dallas go?

5-10 round guy is my guess

 

[drawing dead]

Bradfield looks good

2 tool guy, speed and avg. His avg won’t play as well at the next level because he has mostly ground ball hits. Infielders at the next level have great gloves and rocket arms. No power and noodle arm so he isn’t high on MLB boards.

 

[BruinVol]

If this weekend is dbl elimination, post season... let’s see... Tamu ain’t exactly top notch pitching, ya know?

Vols should win tomorrow

But winning 9-8 won’t be what I think is most important about tomorrow. Tidwell needs to pitch well

 

[OldTimer]

LSU twice and Vanderbilt another year off the top of my head

 

[6-4-3]

where will Dallas go?

5-10 round guy is my guess

I agree with that range. Will be interesting to see who we lose and who will come back, etc

 

[BruinVol]

It’s time for kids to move on but there aren’t many guys that will be high $ drafts I don’t think
