Credit where credit is due. Tip of the cap to Tony Vitello for the marvelous job he has done making Tennessee a relevant player on the baseball stage. Add in the top recruiting classes he has stacked up, and it's really hard not to be optimistic about all things Tennessee baseball for the time being!

The preseason #2 team in the nation is quite a surprise. Hats off.

I mean people can hate but as someone who hasn't been a fan of baseball at all, I've actually watched some. That's impressive. Tony brings the same excitement that Pearl once brought. You want to cheer for his teams because he's out supporting everyone else. AND he's done the impossible and turned us into a consistently good team.

Definitely . I think there will be battles between a few sec programs to get the top transfers and to get the top rated high schoolers to come to school instead of go pro

Halfway through the season I didn’t think there was any way we would make it to Omaha.

Just goes to show, it’s not always the most talented team, but matchups, brackets and a little luck.

He’s an absolute Godsend. We wouldn’t be the first program to emerge from obscurity and achieve great things

We stacked. Lindsey, Dollander, Beam, Burns all could be SEC Friday night starters. And was Halvorsen was already part of Mizzou starting rotation.

How about what King Danny has done with the athletic department as a whole…..

Especially considering that high school ball park he has to work with.

People are going to crap all over this because Vitello/Tennessee Baseball is a hot button issue over here, but this is 100% true. The job he's done there is remarkable - both in the way he immediately turned it around and in staying power.

He also seems to have learned from last year and toned some of the overly outrageous things down a tick while still being intense and having his guys play with swagger.

5 Tenner alter accounts in one thread is more impressive...
