Can the baseball team win the first game at Arky with Brooks Wright or whoever the C will be?

[cardvolfan]

I certainly think Stone is a capable catcher and have no concerns about him stepping him. I will note that Stone getting a larger proportion of his at-bats during the non-conference could inflate his batting statistics a bit. Plus, Cannon does seem to have been coming on later on in the year.

Prior to the last 2 regional games, Peebles was hitting .339 over a 17-game span, with 15 of those games being SEC contests. He had finally figured it all out.

Stings that we lost Peebles over something so stupid, but even CTV said after the game that Cannon has to know when it’s time to take the long walk back after a strikeout and keep his mouth shut.

Stone is capable, albeit a little green and that may be evident more at the plate than anywhere else in his game. Has a heck of an arm and he’s a big dude, has a nice swing and will develop raw power in time. Saw him play last year a few times in the Appy League for Kingsport. Has all the tools, just has to put it all together. Pulling for him, he’s got a golden opportunity here to make a mark for himself.

I won't be surprised if Bargo does not catch and someone else go to LF.

What about Levi . Isn’t he a catcher too.

Interesting indeed..I know jack squat about the locker room but I'll be suprisred if Stone is not behind the plate.
Isn't Bargo banged up already?

 

[CAVPUT]

No chance, we might as well not even try

Yes.

With a name like “ Stone Lawless “ he has to be good.
The announcers will have a ball calling this game.

Yep, we were talking early in the year, and it sounds like a western movie outlaw name. Wanted Stone Lawless, dead or alive 500$ reward

 

[Tennessee Jedd]

Stone Lawless is a catcher who has played in 27 games for us this season

Not to mention having the coolest name ever.

Yep. Great baseball name. Cannon Peebles ain't too shabby either.

CTV said Bargo's hamstring was acting up. He'll be hard to keep out of the lineup, wherever he plays.

If you like to get insulted for no reason, that is your prerogative. In my mind, if you don't have anything nice or constructive to say, keep your mouth shut! The world would be a lot better off without people criticizing EVERYTHING people say and do! That is the way of the world today. But, it doesn't make America a better place than it used to be. It makes it worse!!!

Hey now, I’m an American! This really hurts my feelings and has ruined my entire day!!! I’m sure I’ll pull through in time, but your cynicism has really hurt me! /s I’m sure there is no need for most but I threw in the /s for good measure.

 

[DirtyDawg]

Well I’m very bummed that my Dawgs completely stunk it up, I truly thought we had a good chance to make it to Omaha.

So bc of this I’ll be following and pulling for you guys to get a re-peat. A few years ago I would have thought that there is absolutely no way in hell I’m pulling for TN, especially not to win two in a row, but today I can enjoy doing it. I’ve watched you guys play many times this season and followed Volnation game thread, so I know y’all’s team better than any other team that isn’t UGA. I also really like several of the TN players and I like a great many TN fans here on Volnation.

So I’m pissed and bummed that my team blew it, but for the reasons listed above, I can honestly say that I will enjoy watching as you guys attempt to go back to back.

Going back to back is very hard and I think especially hard in college baseball, but you guys do have another really good team. Of course there are more than a few other very good teams so it’s a tough ask for sure.

Who knows though? This TN team hasn’t been as dominant or consistent as last season, but it’s certainly a team talented enough to make things interesting if they can get hot, stay consistent, and hopefully have a bit more luck than their opponents.

Anyway, I wish you Vols good luck! I can sincerely say that I hope you guys go back to back! I hope your boys are ready tomorrow bc I’ll be watching and hoping to see some great college baseball! I’m going to do something that I never thought I could, I’m going to send out a Go Vols!!! I’m not sure if that’s a good or bad thing coming from a die hard UGA fan, but maybe it will send you guys some luck.
