Any Nashvillians been to the new Geodis Park stadium? Sounds pretty nice.

I'll be the first to admit I'm hesitant on Martinez and always have been.Credit where credit is due he had those guys playing well last year.Ill eat my crow on that one for now...

Ummm, where’d it go & why?

Here's more from Kansas yesterday:

Just another reason to not live in flyover country. Tornadoes are a big NOPE. Hurricanes PASS. Earthquakes not as scared of with modern buildings, but would still rather not. I'll also add any place with killer bugs and creatures, such as Australia.

Living in the mountains protects us from all the crap trying to murder us

IDk why Rucker deleted it unless it was wrong info. Tweet said he threw 3 pitches at 105 and 20 over 103 today.

I drove by it

Todays opening day for that stadium. Looks really nice on TV. Can’t wait to attend a game there some time soon.

Having a lot of tackles isn’t the big time stat you think it is for a LB. If it were he would have benn first or second team all SEC. Banks is not a good LB.

Jeremy Banks played his azz off for us…… we are extremely lucky and should be very grateful to have him…. The defense would be much worse without him.

Nobody wants to talk about the other side of the coin last season - Burrell, Tank and a mediocre Flowers. Two good d-backs versus the other three yucks.

By all means we should celebrate the successes. But the secondary's competency is yet to be proven. #122 in the nation in passing yards allowed at 273.2 last season.

His highest fastball in 2018 on record was 95…. It’s amazing how much they improve.

Shut up

The BaseVols are all on the juice. Haven't you heard the complaints from the other SEC boards!

From everyone I’ve heard it’s pretty great. There are 5,000 parking spots for a 30k seat stadium. Definitely will be ridesharing or shuttling in. Don’t even like soccer but I’d like to go.

He does really good with what he has…. When everyone was complaining about Martinez when he was hired here…. I decided to look and see what story the stats told….. I looked all the way back to the early 2000’s …… I was shocked that the best years were by far the Martinez years

Y’all remember when Ole Miss was #1 team in the nation?

7-14 in the SEC and unranked now. BaseVols took their soul

No kidding. The Ole Miss fan faithfully updating the schedule on the 2022 Ole Miss Rebels baseball team Wikipedia article gave up after the Tennessee series. The schedule on that article is frozen in time at UT's third win over Ole Miss on March 27.

 

[RikidyBones]

There is a baseball forum you know that right?

We are lucky to have this young man. I wouldn't want to be the guy batting against him. LOL

 

[volinexile17]

Carvin gave up 0 sacks last year and Banks was 2nd in the sec in tackles, if they even match their production from last year they would easily be day 2 guys

Cade went in the 6th. Don’t think Carvin is 4 rounds better than Cade.

C'mon, volume stats are just garbage with knowing we play at an absurdly high tempo. We faced almost as many pass attempts as anyone in the country, right there with UGA, Alabama, and OSU. And we only played 13 games. So of course we allowed a high passing YPG.



Better measures would be efficiencies.

2021:
YPA allowed 60th
QBR allowed 63rd

Both just above the national median.

And he was working with...
2020:
YPA allowed 110th
QBR allowed 105th

So we jumped ~50 spots in both categories...and without hardly any pass rush. Impressive improvement iyam.
