The Official Arkansas @ Tennessee Fayetteville Super Regional Game 2 (Sun. June 8th 3PM EDT) (ESPN)

[THEONLYTENISEE]

5 are projected 1st round or compensatory round. Couple that with Dean, Fisch, Marcus, AJ and Doyle and it could get rough.

I believe it’s likely to still be Tony’s best class.

Fischer needs more time? A career .280 hitter went to .350 this year and led the SEC in HR’s and BB’s. He’s a pure hitter.

It's unbelievable the posts and comments on here today... Can def tell the casual UT fan that has zero clue about baseball...

Ride or die.

He could have pulled him based on the hamstring alone and no one would have faulted him.

 

[Tenacjim]

Yep I'm sure major league baseball is chomping at the bit to draft someone that swings for the fences, can't hit off speed pitches and can't reliably move base runners. He needs another year

It’s actually “champing at the bit” and AF is projected to go in the first round:

Abernathy much better than Bargo!!!! So is Newstrom

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I actually like Arky not dog piling.

Bigger business ahead, act like you've been there before.

We were better earlier in the year when Jay was starting.

 

[THEONLYTENISEE]

Tony needs to give the "ride or die" mentality a rethink when the guy he's riding or dying with is hitting .050 for the NCAA tournament and showing zero signs of coming out of his slump

Last season it was musical chairs at DH. I really liked Abernathy on base percentage and thought he should have played more.

 

[neostig]

What a punk.

Making the Supers is basically like making the College Football Playoff with the 12 game... Making the College World series is basically like Making The final 4 in Basketball... An absolute hellava year coming off a Natty! 2nd youngest team in the SEC! Hats off to Vols baseball 2025!!

 

[NO SIR EEE]

It's been a fun year everyone, even if it didn’t end the way we hoped. Really looking forward to another run next season. Thanks to all of you for being part of the game threads and making them such a great experience!

 

[DirtyDawg]

Indeed. I like an underdog if we can’t be in Omaha.

Me too, I love to pull for an underdog. Coastal has looked pretty good the little I’ve watched them though

 

[JCP201]

Newstrom and Abernathy showing promise for next year. Will miss Liam so much. Rooting for him in the big leagues. Wish Fischer could stay another year, too.

I agree.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Been a fun ride this year boys. As usual I will miss our game threads until next February. Revenge tour incoming!

Last season it was musically chairs at DH. I really liked Abernathy on base percentage and thought he should have played more.

After watching him in the Fall World Series, I really thought he'd be our leadoff man this season as he took some really good ABs.... oh well

Just think if we’d just had won two more SEC games we could have hosted a super regional at home and avoided a top 8 team , that doesn’t seem like much but that’s what cost us a top 8 seed

 

[volz2wallz]

Till next feb...GBO!!️

This guy gets it.

Well onto portal hunting, any news on the ford kid from UVA?

So close...

I tend to believe in the coach who has transformed a program.

I think he’s likely going to the draft.

 

[Legion of Doom]

Great job by the team. Let’s hope Newstrom, Abernathy, and the other freshmen all stay. Very promising group.

 

[KTrain]

What went wrong? IMO, the game would have been closer if Doyle stayed in. He didn't have his best stuff but can't imagine him giving up a grand slam. Catching defense wasn't good and our hitting was cold. Big chance when our star Fischer was up and hit into double play. Still been a good year and there is no better coach then Tony. He is a superstar. I'm done for now-- No sports for me till end of August. See everyone then.

Not saying they were his fault, but 5 pitches at least made it to the back stop and either gave up runs or bases. we had 8 hits they had 10 we got 4 runs they got 11.
