Austin Peay is kicking Vandy in the teeth

Anytime Vandy or LSU lose in baseball, it's a celebration at my house.

Second base is worn down to the chopped up tire bedding lol. I wish we never got rid of natural grass and dirt, but the times are a-changing I guess.

Can’t imagine that field isn’t hot as unholy **** in the summer though. Turf fields always felt like the pit of hell to me during summer ball. But they didn’t exist at the level they do now. Still had astroturf and dirt cutouts around the bases then lol

I imagine they’re trying to hold off replacement until they start the renovations in the offseason. The area around the mound has also looked bad on tv. Maybe it’s just the saturation of colors on tv and it looks better in person.

Batted 1-4 iirc. Single, fielders choice, fly out at the track and a strikeout.

Made a hell of a play at 2nd. Almost ran over C-Mo in the process, but he covered like 20-30 feet grabbing the grounder and tossing the guy out at first.

What inning? I‘d like to see that replay.

4th iirc. I was still at work when it happened so it couldn’t have been later than the 5th or 6th

Quick question, how long before game time does the gates open? When I come up for the games, I'll either be on crutches or on a scooter (torn Achilles/Surgery).

Hello, March.

The mound isn't all that bad in person, but the 2nd base chunk is definitely noticeable. Bad enough I wonder if it could be replaced once the first road trip comes up.

I wish it were grass, but I know the turf has also saved us a couple games already this year. I'd be interested to know if UT has tracked it since its been installed.

Games in green are free.

Include Arkansas in that equation and you are on point

it's is not just the rainouts; we've only had one game not finish due to the weather, and it was finished the next day, however, it's the ability to practice on the field during the week without wearing out the turf. Also, during the summer they can have a number of camps and tournaments without turf damage as well.......

The ability to practice on artificial turf plays a huge dividend in the development of the players, CTV has stated this a number of times.

Guys, the turf may look "funky" on tv, due to the sun and camera angles, however, I can assure you its in A++ shape.

Any word on Cam Sewell?? He has not pitched a single inning this year. Seems like you would want to get him some work.

Tony mentioned something about him having some soreness.

Will be a week or so I hear

 

[preacherman20]

I heard the plan is to get him back ready by Texas A&M. No reason to get him back. You know what you got so no need to rush it and possibly hurt it.

Just resting Sewell and Wyatt due to some arm soreness.

Saw a post on FB saying it was Dickeys bday today. Hopefully he’ll smash a couple of birthday Dickey dongs.

Anybody know which page the lineup is on? I am still learning the new comers and that really helps.
