I love baseball. Its a very basic sport but the players have made it by far the weirdest sport.

Sac fly gets A&M on the board. 3-1 hogs in the 4th.

Is it just me or is this game going incredibly slow?

Ole Miss gets a solo HR in 1st.

1-0 OM going to top of 2nd.

A&M has 4 hits in 14 innings. It could be a lot worse.

Great AB to draw the walk for Slavens. He's having a hell of a day at the plate.

This year has been weird because this is the most bullish I've been on a team since 2018 or 2009 and most fans are treating this like our 2014 team?

Maybe I'm dead wrong. But our starters and bullpen are progressing. Our pitching depth is miles above last year. Hitting is worse so far this year, but everyone is getting their slump out early. Hell, Moore is hitting 240 and were 30-8.

Even Van Horn is tinkering with the lineup like Maineiri,primarily because were still figuring it out.

I like this team. A lot. We're still figuring it out with a 2 game lead in the West.

Maybe we bomb out in terrible fashion, but I'm more comfortable about this team in the postseason compared to last year.

Pretty much what you said. I don't know what people are expecting out of a college baseball team, but we have one of the top pitching staffs in the conference. I genuinely think it's just takes from people that only watch us and don't know what other college baseball teams look like. We're definitely one of the top teams in the country.

Thats a home run if a Tennessee player hits it in any stadium.

Tenner has a chance to have 50 wins by the time they finish their regional.

Thats fricking insane. I'd be scared shitless as a Vol fans because the baseball gods dont giveth 24/7.

Hogs definitely lead the nation in batters just staring at obvious fricking strikes for strike 3

Might be a 2012 type season. Very good pitching but shitty at bat.

Curveball that starts at his eyes and ends at the top of the zone.

"obvious fricking strikes."

Different bats and balls (literally) from the 2012 season so luckily that helps.

Honestly our bat talent is as good if not better than 2018. We don't have a Kjerstad, but now that Webb has shown his pop and Gregory still had something like a 480 OBP, top to bottom this lineup is probably scarier at its peak than 2018.

All that said, Bill Parcells is forever correct in that "you are what your record is" so if we don't score as many runs, they're not as good at the plate. I think if they get it together at the end of the season this will be fun.

Or they could all slump and wet get bombed out of our regional like 2007. But I see the signs that we could be scary with the sticks soon. Just need something super weird and encouraging to happen. Like a very, very small meteor hitting the duck pond one game that we come back to win. Rally meteor could do wonders for this team.
