Hopefully one that's strike zone isn't the eye of a needle.

In other news, Wilkerson is awesome. Definitely a homer announcer, but a great one.

I said this last year, but I still believe this now. As much as this run has been fun for the fans, I love it for Wilkerson. He's had to call some really bad baseball at times, hence the Hello Win Column thing because it was that rare for TN to win. Now, he gets to call games for a team being debated as one of the best of all times. He deserves to get to enjoy a team like this.

was gonna make an @Weezer Mom joke here but that's probably in bad taste.

I had the same thought.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Are we going to have that same ump tonight?

Hope not lol that floating strikezone was something else.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

So, I was just thinking about this, and we still have a long ways to go, but when TN wins today. And takes the supers next weekend they will be at 58 wins.
When they win it all in Omaha this team will finish at 63 wins. From what I can find, thats one off the most wins in a season for college baseball. There was an AZ St team that went 64-6 and didnt win it all. This team is just incredible.

I do find it funny I’m getting hit with the, well they are the coaches that led us to this or that, well everyone has places to improve in, anyone who has played the sport could see before the 3rd that Dollander was struggling (the umpire was not helping either).

As a former baseball player seeing what I saw, I would have pulled him before the 3rd I sat there and told my Son before he came back out that we would see a different pitcher. Didn’t happen and then Campbell went to town.

Again, it’s not the first time this has happened, it happened with Burns during the regular season. You could tell Burns was struggling and he got left in and then the other team went to town on him; and our bats didn’t show up that night and we lost.

So yeah I think my point is valid.

He’s the SEC pitcher of the year and your talking about pulling him after 2 scoreless innings? You let him work through it a bit to see if he can right the ship. Could’ve pulled him a batter or two earlier maybe, but saying anything else is revisionist history at best.

I’m watching the uk game from last year and I was immediately reminded of how bad these commentators were. Unbelievably bad

Maybe the worst I’ve ever seen and heard

 

[UTMVol76]

Yes! Kirk Morrison and Beth mowins. He went on for 5mins about how one of our WRs knee was down when he caught the ball on a screen and he shouldn’t have been awarded the extra yard

And she was going on about how the offense wasn’t letting the defense rest. Like we should take a knee!!!

Question for all you Pellet grillers.

I already have a Kamado Joe and I love it. It handles pretty much anything for me but I am going to build an outdoor kitchen at my new house and am debating about skipping the gas grill and just going for a Pellet Grill instead to pair with the Kamado. The question though: how well does a pellet grill sear a steak in y’all’s experience?

If I have the time I usually like to do it on the Kamado but when pressed for time I still will throw it on the gas grill or pan sear it in a cast iron. I’ve watched videos on searing on Traegars and I just worry it won’t be quite good enough.

[VOLINVONORE]

You would never know it From your post.

They were both really painful

 

[Weezer]

Many many thanks. That's as good as any John Ward ever had, and I say that with the utmost and beyond respect and love for JW.

Is it a coincidence that John Ward and John Wilkerson share the same initials, or is it a sign?

 

[SoilVol]

No sir. Alcohol still absorbed into the blood stream and then broken down by the liver…
Sorry @Weezer.

I should've used blue font.

 

[SoilVol]

@SoilVol the yard rats keep making giant holes in my newly planted grass seed areas. any idea how to suppress their advances without chootin' them?

Like, they're eating the seed?

 

[SoilVol]

for squirrels ?

Yes. Grey ratsnakes are excellent squirrelers. As are timber rattlesnakes.

 

[SoilVol]

there's a baby hawk next door, think in one of the white pine trees. I hear it squak daily. I think it has its hands full.

Not sure owning or possessing a bird of prey is legal, moran.

Falconry is still a legal practice. I got a fruend who did commission pest management work using his goshawk and kestrel. Mostly pigeons and starlings.

Seems like he will get drafted somewhat early I’ve seen him projected anywhere from 2nd to 4th round so wherever he transfers he might not even make it to campus

I might be wrong but I thought college baseball players couldn’t enter draft till after sophomore year. That says he’s a freshman.

 

[Weezer]

Looks like late 50’s. Graduated Bearden in ‘82 according to LinkedIn, so 58?

Kesling? Kesling is older than that.
