Well, we have another one guys...I am so excited for this game.
Baseball has really gotten to me. ️ Seeing my first games in person this weekend is an experience I will always remember. I love our players, love our crowd, love the skill, the strategy, and the emotion! I love how much I have learned on this board and the friends I have made.
Let's take these guys down. It's a whole new season today! GBO!
Ahuna is a talent. His highlights are ridiculous. I think success on-the-field was relatively easy for him until he stepped into the SEC. Handling failure (attitude, body language, lockerroom persona, etc.) is a predictive metric for success and professional baseball is watching.Ahuna seems to be good in defense at short. He dropped one. But most time he is good. At bat though I don’t expect much. Was the big ten just garbage last year ?
Thanks for stopping by.Just popping back in before I make the hour drive back to the game for some USM fan perspective here.
1. The NCAA and ESPN are terrible. Game should be moved up and to hell with tv viewers. It’s the right thing to do. I do however believe after 7:00 ct tonight the game will/could resume if it does get delayed.
2. Kudos to whatever the kids name y’all pitched yesterday. Sorry, bad with names and don’t feel like looking it up. We jumped on him some early, but the way he settled in and pitched was an amazing performance. Nothing but respect for that young player.
3. The bomb hit to the church was one of if not the farthest ball I’ve ever seen hit there. Me and the crew I sit around all said the same thing
4. As far as the fan throwing stuff and getting kicked out. I didn’t see any of that, but I’m sure it probably happened and have no reason to believe it didn’t. Unfortunately even our fan base has some fans that just plain suck and our POSs. The season ticket holders I sit around and myself all plan on sending a letter to our friends in the Athletic Department and requesting their season tickets be revoked and they be banned forever due to that behavior.
5. Today favors UT for sure. More arms left, etc. Baseball can be funny at times and we are a good team, but going to need a few breaks I feel.
6. No matter who wins, it sucks for anyone who has to face Skenes from LSU in Omaha. Guy is from another planet. But, back to bullet point 5…. Baseball is funny sometime and anyone is beatable.
7. Safe travels to those that made the trip. It’s the road fans that really mean a lot to programs so my respect goes out to those that travel for games.
Of course I hope we win, but if we don’t, then best of luck to UT in Omaha. No one likes LSU, but LSU.
The X factor for this game is SS. Let's face it we are outmanned at this position. If our guy can play error free, and our pitchers need to kinda pitch around their guy.......Dickerson I think???
Once the super regions dates and times are announced, that normally shows which teams play on day 1. You will not the supers that started Friday were all one side of bracket. Bracket "1" was bracket 1 because the #1 seed was in it.
Win and I have zero doubt we play on Saturday. And since that would be against LSU that would be the "primetime" game.
You’ve got an interesting and accomplished crew of kids. Is this the same one with a history at Ardent. I’ll track down the book.
Thanks for stopping by.
We'll glady man up and play LSU. The kids not Nolan Ryan.
When are you guys going to install visitors locker rooms? Unheard of for regional hosts.

Well, we have another one guys...
Soon you’ll be watching Hawaii state community tech vs California A&M poly state, at 2:00 in the morning on ESPN+, because we have a common opponent of a common opponent and the outcome will affect our RPI.
Classy Analysis.....because of its honesty and straight forwardness. Who knows about the game but Tennessee does have an edge, but #5 will always come into play. I still feel that the Pitching edge belongs to UT but that can change with a strong outing by a pitcher. Right now it is mental. Not a lot either team can do about the other variables going into this game.Just popping back in before I make the hour drive back to the game for some USM fan perspective here.

Should be false advertising in my opinion but regardless,
Got a cooling towel for my neck (only pink available). Yes, it’s day three and I needed it the last few days, but rather late than never I guess!

it's a wonderful game, fell in love with it at age 8I am so excited for this game.

He has one pitch he cannot hit. Swings at it every time and misses and other teams have figured it out. Defensively you will not find a better short stop and would not change him. He needs to show bunt a couple of times to keep opposing pitchers guessing.Ahuna seems to be good in defense at short. He dropped one. But most time he is good. At bat though I don’t expect much. Was the big ten just garbage last year ?
We don’t judge, here in the baseball forum.So I will be honest until a couple of years ago I did not keep up with college baseball at all. This team is exciting and continues to be so.
And you can call me a band wagon baseball fan if you will - but keep in mind I have been a Tennessee fan in other sports, football and basketball for a very long time ... like since I was a child. So don't call me a band wagon Vol fan because that is not true. lol
