2019 Vol Baseball

Get out the brooms.

.500 in conference. RPI currently #8. Thats the year 2 jump you want from a coach.

 

Vitello is to Currie what Barnes was to Hart. The proverbial broken clock getting it right twice a day.

 

30-11 overall ; 9-9 SEC

Need to finish 3-0 vs Gardner Webb, Austin Peay, and TTU. That would get you to 33 wins.

SEC series left: @Arky, vs. Mizzo, @UF, vs. Ole Miss

Arky is probably the most difficult as they now sit atop the SECW and are on fire. I think avoiding a sweep is what you want. Anything else is a bonus.

Mizzou is 2 games back of us in the East. Need to win 2. Sweep would be a big bonus.

Florida is also two games back of us in the East. Gators aren't great this year, but on the road, avoid the sweep and it you can steal a 2nd, its a bonus.

Ole Miss is down the SECW standings, but are 10-8 in the conference. Its at home. Need to get 2.

If you essentially get 2 in each home stint and 1 on each road trip, that gets you to 39-18 and .500 in conference.....Good enough clubs that RPI should stay around were its at I would think... That would keep TN in play for hosting a regional. That is excluding in SECT wins, so there a solid chance this is a 40 win team headed in to the NCAA Regional.

They were 29-27 last year

 

I'm amazed that we're even thinking about hosting a regional. .500 or better in conference and taking care of business outside of it and we should be set.

 

Beat Kentucky's best team ever in football, won 2 out of 3 against them in basketball, and swept them in baseball. Been a good year.

 

Just to add to that, weve beat them 4 out of the last 6 in basketball.

 

And 6 outta 10.

 

I know we all say [uck fay] Auburn and mean it, but [uck fay] Kentucky.

 

After getting swept last weekend, Vols really need to the Sunday W to claim this series over Mizzou. I believe they sit at 10-13 in the SEC with 7 conference games left.... they really need to go 4-3 one those 7 games....

Heard Chris Burke the other day say that he was obviously pulling for the Vols to get back to the 'AAs, but the last few weekends are tough sledding.

 

7-0 after 2, good start

 

Shouldn’t have said anything

 

It will be a nice punch in the gut if the Vols lose this series.

 

Blew a 7 0 lead.

Ouch.

 

Jinxyquickkick

 

That was rough.

 

Up 9-2 @ UF.... its not 10-9 in bottom 8.... this team gonna fall short of the NCAA.... I guess injuries and youth just couldn't hold on

 

Vols fall 10-9

 

Won today.

Bout as big of a baseball game as you get tomorrow.

 

Yep... probably an NCAA Regional Berth elimination game vs UF tomorrow.

SEC is so damn good.... Indiana probably gonna finish #2 in the Big10 and host a regional and they got embarrassed in Knoxville earlier in the season.

 

Came back from being down 4-1 in 7th to win 5-4 to win the series.

Biggest baseball win in a decade.
