We are in good position here guys, we really are.
Today's bullpen failed late as Drake Owenby's terrible season is still going on. It seems obvious that Drake's preseason, practices and scrimmages were better than his game performances as he needs to battle through his pressure reflexes.
I like Serrano's plan to use multiple pitchers. Takes some pressure off Cox who is our pitching MVP by far.
We have Kentucky, Miss State and Florida who have all had tough stretches through their season. bulldogs and Gators started slowly and UK is finishing slowly.
I think Vincent Jackson is obviously back after a terrible 2/3 of a season. Our offense is really gaining steam and did well against a tough staff in rough environment over weekend.
Remaining Games for relevant teams:
UGA hosts SC, at Ole Miss and hosts Kentucky
Kentucky at Tennessee hosts Auburn and at UGA
Auburn hosts Miss. State, at Kentucky, hosts LSU
A series win against Kentucky would be HUGE!
Auburn had a surprisingly good weekend winning 2/3 at Arkansas. tigers have won 2 road series in 2014.
UGA has been swept for two straight weekends and has lost 8-games in row. (their last win was against UT). We should have won that series to say the least.
I think UGA and Mizzou are close to clinching their out-of-tournament spots. If UGA is swept by SC next weekend, they are toast. Mizzou plays Vandy and SC in consecutive weeks.
Vols are 10-11 against RPI Top-50. and Still hold #28 in RPI (good for 8th in SEC)
Overall, I believe Vols will finish #4 in the SEC-East. This may be 9th or 10th overall. Vanderbilt has to play Florida and So.Carolina in last 6-games. So the Vols could be as high as third in East thanks to tiebreaker. However, Dores should sweep at Mizzou next week to avoid this indignity.
The big series next week is obviously Florida and Alabama. I think the Tide might be coming back to reality after this weekend, but they suddenly have a tough homefiled advantage thanks to alcohol induced ferver in right field.
