He is a treasure. I used to listen to Vols baseball games on Sunday afternoon while I was lounging around - changing oil, mowing, washing cars, etc. Since the easy accessibility of streaming games, I watch more than I listen. I'm at the office today catching up/getting ahead for my week, and, man, has Wilkerson delivered during this fantastic ballgame!

He’s one of the best I’ve ever heard call baseball and we’re damn lucky to have him. I listen much more than I watch. Today I was watching my son play travel basketball so listening with an earbud. I don’t post that much in the game threads but I do enjoy interacting with my fellow vol baseball fans when I can. You’re right, he’s a treasure. He’s every bit as good on a baseball call as John Ward was on a football call. And before I get blasted….yes, John Ward is the goat and JW is that good calling baseball! Go Vols!

My first step up from Beam.

Many will turn their nose up but got this for a visit from an old family friend next weekend.

CTV on Ky., "We're not the cheerleading team". ...

We’re not throwing birds or sporting daddy hats or fur coats either. Got a serious attitude though…

We started it all. Now we're a little more chill and everyone else is trying to have a gimmick. The pink fuzzy kid dynomite hats are beyond lame. I'm also giving Kirby credit for starting the mustache fad. GBO

First time to post. Long time lurker. Great series win! Has anything been said about whether or not AJ Russell will return to pitch this year? Pitching has been good to great at time's, but not elite. I still believe we have all the tools to return to the CW. It would be nice to have another reliable arm.

Nothing concrete on AJ. My guess is early May

Also I love Kentucky’s cute knock-off checkerboards used on some of their uniforms and in their dugout. Suck it bums!!!!!!

 

[AllThingsTN]

Should’ve swept ‘em

Could’ve and probably should’ve. Sweep for sure at LNS. But more then happy with the series win.

That’s really good stuff.

Buffalo Trace is a commodity around here.

Wish I could get it. Same for Eagle and EH. Until whatever beef there is between the ABC board and the distillery gets worked out, I'll grab what I can when I'm out of state.

He did great, Nobody has it everyday and he battled through it.

Battled and battled. We love him.

Kirby's been killing it lately, and when you're playing in the SEC and going against a top 5 team with a strong offense on their turf, it's always going to be rough and just have to survive.

His getting us out of the jam in the bottom of th 5th was huge! Probably the turning point of the game.

 

[WillisWG]

Tough bunch with no easy outs.

 

[volz2wallz]

Kirby....is the definition of a VFL....gives his all every time!!️

You win some, you lose some, but you live to battle another day!
He’ll bounce back and come through again when we need him.
I honestly thought he threw pretty well today. Three off pitches against a strong lineup.

Agreed!
