Honest question, where do you think the differences are? Bats seem to be about even. Maybe even a bit of an advantage to LSU, at least at this point in the season. Starting pitchers seem really close, maybe slight advantage to Tennessee. And bullpen la for both schools are shaky but i think goes to UT.

You’re close. Taking into consideration just the last 3 weeks, I give the advantage to the Vols in batting. Doyle is just on another level than anyone else in the college this season, and when Phillips is on (like he was tonight, he was outstanding), the advantage goes to the Vols as well in starting pitching.

As far as the bullpen goes, we have two guys that we can count on. Evans and Cowan. They’re good! But, you just saw what the rest of our pen looks like, and it’s not good. I don’t know enough about the Vols pen to make a judgement here, but I’d still have to lean in favor of the Vols.

Overall, it’s not a huge difference in any area (other than Doyle). In fact, they’re very close otherwise. But, the edge still goes to the Vols imo. Even though they’ve been a little shaky lately, I still believe the Vols likely have the most talent in the country this year. Just have to continue to put it all together.

Take the series tomorrow! Yes, I know we lost Friday night into Saturday morning...sux. We could still win the series if we won tonight and Sunday. We we were not going to sweep. I went back through my comments. For those poking at my comments...are y'all on drugs or something legal that twists reality? Go Vols! Win two out of three for the SWEEP tomorrow!

I agree on Phillips. When he is on he is fantastic. But he aint always on. He is good enough to take the risk but also spotty wnough to cost us some games (see ole miss). Doyle is next level. As far as bats go, i think the potential is there but we havnt found it yet. You are right though, there isnt much separation and idk what to expect tomorrow.

I think LSU has more maturity and consistency and UT has maybe a higher ceiling that might not ever be reached.

As far as our pen goes, especially on Sundays, kinda hard to have an expectation one way or the other. So far, the closest thing we have to a closer is Nate Snead, he pitched Friday. Tomorrow should be a good old fashioned SEC Sunday.

Good bounce back game tonite. Sure hated to see that Curiel kid's streak end that the announcers kept bleating about. I say we put one in Milam's ribs tomorrow to make up for the AA plunkings and brushbacks tonite.

I can’t remember the last time the BaseVols or their competitor retaliated with a beaning. I don’t think it will happen tomorrow. Too short of a season in NCAA vs MLB plus it’s not really in the NCAA baseball culture.

I understand the catcher wanting to have his pitchers back, but getting between him and AA was kinda ridiculous, not like AA was gonna charge the mound
