Tennessee baseball is playing INSANE

[Wooden Arrow]

I agree the field is not as big as most parks.

are these homers just -barely- clearing the fence, or going "above and beyond" ? if you are hitting them 30 or 40 feet past the fence, is the "short fence" what is causing it? be nice to see distance estimates of how far they are traveling...

Watched em hit 4 more tonight. Some of them with the wind blowing what looked like 20mph INTO the yard

May have missed one but last 3 games these were the distances: 367, 348, 367, 395, 355, 362, 365, 427, 357, 384, 402.
Looking at the HRs in the Houston MLB park, I think the shortest HR was 348. So based on the shortest one in that MLB park, all the ones in Knoxville the last 3 games were further except 1 which was same distance.
Think they are at 42 for the year. 7 grand slams thru 13 games. Yearly record is 14 in 2003. They have a great opportunity to better that.

Good win by BaseVols should be a repeat today 6pm SECN+. Real tests start next weekend with SEC play 3 game series with FL visiting Knoxville.

 

[volboy]

Another run rule game. 2 HRs including another grand slam (8 of them in 15 games )

 

[Forvols]

BaseVols sweep for the weekend (series attendance over 17K). The game on Sunday was another run rule game. But highlight was for Stone Lawless:

"UT hit five more home runs on the day, including a pair from redshirt-freshman catcher Stone Lawless, who finished with a career-high four RBIs. Lawless' second long ball was a walk-off, two-run shot into the porches in the bottom of the seventh."

Vols set a new UT record for best start of the season at 16-0 they have 1 more non-conf game at 1630 on TUE. Then the gators visit Knoxville for a 3-game series opening SEC play for UT.

They're going to mess around and have the first loss be a mid-week slop game.

TN looks good. It can afford a few Ls, along the way. I think as long as TN keeps winning most of its mid weeks and goes 8/10 for series in the sec it will be fine.

I'm worried about my bulldogs. I expected them to be elite. They look very mediocre against any ranked competition

ETSU won this game.

Props to them.

I think we were a hungover from the weekend sweep.

Heavy is the crown, everyone is gonna be gunning for whichever team has the #1 by their name. Take two of three this weekend and you will stay #1! TN looks great, I wouldn't be worried!

 

[swampbadger]

Mercer beats #5 FSU

ole miss down to southern miss 2-6 in late innings.

 

[Bamamonts]

Alabama won with a HR in the tenth inning. Tennessee and Ole Miss went down.
Tennessee has a great team. I hope Alabama can be competitive in the series this weekend. RTR!

 

[Gravey]

ETSU won this game.

Props to them.

I think we were a hungover from the weekend sweep.

We knew it was gonna happen at some point. I'll trade a sweep in conference play for a midweek loss every week.

The Lost to ETSU hurts less to me as a fan than a lost to bama this weekend would. ETSU played tough, they were after the whole game. I was truly expecting a 10run win for Vols, but ETSU did what they needed to on O/D Vols offense didnt. Lots of O-fers in hitting and runners left on by the VOLS.

 

[Tn_Va_Hunter]

Congrats to ETSU. Played straight up hard. Tn played good as well. It just takes putting it all together for a game to knock a #1 seed.

 

[PossumSlayer]

Cool loss, wouldn't call it a bad one

 

[Big Pop]

Tennessee baseball WAS playing INSANE

Fore sure. I was just hoping that they would have gotten a few more wins to break previous record from 2022 .

ETSU deserved that win and congrats to them. If the Vole had to get beat im ok with it being ETSU. They played good ball and made the catches and hits when they needed it.
