What a great trip to the Box for my son and I. Thanks preacherman for some super cheap tix I had to force him to accept payment for.

A synopsis of the trip:
Nice fans that gave us a good hearted ribbing from the moment we stepped out of the car. Very helpful stadium crew. Had some great conversation with random LSU fans.

Frat boys were frat boys. We took some cussing and birds and flew the Vol hand sign right back.

Exciting atmosphere. Exchanged lots of joking back and forth with the fans in the stands. Examples:

The players' girlfriends entourage walked by us and high fived my son and I for wearing our Vollie Fingers jerseys. Pretty sure it was Kirby's gf that led the way. Needless to say (all fine babes no doubt) some younger LSU fans behind us took note. I turned and said "out of state tuition is expensive, boys." The older LSU fans had a good lol outta that one.

When the LSU outfielder robbed us of a run on the great running, diving catch, an LSU fan yelled out at us "see, we been watching how you boys do it." I told him I see you seeing us! Then told him to wait til we learn to catch pop ups because y'all are screwed then.

Decided that was a good line and used it the rest of the night. That garnered a lot of chuckles except from the drunk frat guys who probably weren't good at sarcasm anyway.

What a game!

Glad you and your boy had a great time. Sounds like an awesome memory.

Hope everyone is doing well I had to step away from VN for a couple of days so I could enjoy the game. Some of the NegaVols ridiculous posts attacking our team and calling out players grates on my nerves. Really proud of the team for ending strong. Go Vols!

Thoughts on the series:
1) Outfield defense was very impressive. Ensley, Scott, and Booker are all plus defenders and Ensley’s bat is plus. Scott and Booker bats are heating up and that could be HUGE. I’ve said all along that both will win us games this year. Elite D and speed doesn‘t slump.
2) Crews deserves all the praise he gets. He’s simply outstanding.
3) Dreiling can flat out rake. Hard to believe he’s a true freshman.
4) This team will be fine. Replacing the entire lineup is crazy hard. I bet no team in college baseball has ever been ranked in the top 15 (much less #2) when turning over the lineup.
5) They will get better on defense and have the potential to be very good in that department.

Crews, at this moment, according to ESPN is the highest rated, most draftable player. Dolly is second. Tre didn’t make the list but Bradfield did. As they say…C’Mon MAN!

Tre is a beast. Tommy Tanks is incredibly annoying but can rake. I love his 2 strike approach. Crews is also a humble dude who helps special needs kids. Bet he will do a lot more when given the platform. Good for him.
