Far ahead thinking, but bear with me. Say we go on at our current pace and finish first in the SEC with a 28-2, 27-3 type record. Would it really benefit us to play in the little tournament in Hoover. By that point wouldn't we be almost a guaranteed national seed. So why waste the arms and risk playing in Hoover. It would be nice to be crowned SEC champions, but there is a much bigger and prize out there to latch on to. Talk to me and tell.me what y'all think.

I think that’s a conversation worth having in a few weeks.

Normally I would agree, and I’m sure that line of thinking applies to most teams, but this team needs 4 games a week to get bullpen work for guys. If Dollander is good to go for Hoover, we have 4 starters and 2-3 bullpen guys for each of the 4ish games. This team is built for the postseason. I’m sure Vitello and Anderson will have Regionals on their mind, but hanging a banner is a program win and a recruiting win.

Is it a requirement to show up in Hoover if we are crowned the SEC Champions?
I haven't thought about it like you are asking. We've never been this good in times past.

This thread right here is a microcosm of WHY Tennessee is going to be massively successful under Vitello and WHY so many “adults” hate Tennessee.

The kid who posted this is just a random high school recruit praising TV for sticking up for his guys. If you comb through the comments, most of the people condemning TV are a bunch of out of touch 40-60 year old complaining about how he is “setting a bad example for my son.”

But, if you look closely enough, there are quite a few comments from high school baseball players saying how much they love TV and would love to play for him. He’s a FIGHTER and the students love that.

Exactly right

Here's the pro flex UTAD needs to make happen ASAP: reschedule the rain out game against Tennessee Tech for Wedenesday (7 innings) or, heck, even make a double header for Tuesday with one game against Bellarmine and the other against Tech. That way, Viltello only misses one game in Florida.

But we wouldn't have any pitchers left when we got to Florida.

We (Vols) are making baseball history & we (fans) better enjoy that as much as possible.
We've all seen the down years of the UT teams. This doesn't come around very often for us.

Liked. But I don’t see us being an afterthought in baseball anymore. We won’t be the this good every year. But I’d wager we are here to stay.
