Personally, I consider Tennessee the Deep South, but I know some people don't consider being labeled The Deep South as a positive thing and I'm from Georgia on a website of a team in Tennessee and I don't want to offend anyone here, in any way, .... ever.
Its in interesting thing to consider. For many, Alabama is considered the South of the South with Tennessee being the second most “Southern” state. However, history has these states at odds often. The South has always had very dividing and very unifying characteristics among the states. I’d call South Carolina a very southern state as well, more so than Georgia in general. I reckon it depends on what aspect one considers when thinking of what t”he South” is.
I watch a lot of SEC baseball, and yes, they are the real deal. Solid starters and a really good bullpen. Their middle infielders are probably the best duo in college baseball, and Mingione is a very good coach with a high baseball IQ. Their Saturday and Sunday starters are their best. It should be another good game.
Yep. I know the teams are built differently, and I'm not calling for a return to small ball. Still, I do enjoy seeing the way UK works offensively. Being an older guy, I enjoy things like steals, bunting, hitting behind guys, sac fly, etc. It translates to any ball park and when you're struggling at the plate, it's great to have that ability...especially when you find yourself in some of these cavernous parks against solid pitching.
