I'm thinking Leath, Hunley, and Dallas are our best bets as weekend starters, but then there's Heflin and Sewell....could our cup finally be running over with starting pitching?

I am hoping Tidwell can lock down a starting spot. He likely does not make it to campus in a normal year.

He will definitely get a start this weekend. But, the rotation this weekend may not be the same as the rotation when we roll into SEC play. Lots of competition on the bump. I think there are 5-7 legit starters on this team. That’s a good problem to have for sure.

I am looking forward to it. I am ready to see what the line-up looks like.

It means nasty bullpen and depth to win a regional even out of the losers bracket

Okay, I'm revising my starters list to include Tidwell. I'd even bet on it.

From today's KNS:
Vitello was close to finalizing his weekend starting rotation Tuesday, but one name was locked in.
Freshman Blade Tidwell will start a game against Georgia Southern
“His stuff is phenomenal,” Rucker said. “He has a hard fastball that moves like a cutter. He has a hard slider. He has got everything to make hitters uncomfortable.”
Tidwell, a right-handed pitcher from Loretto, likely would have been picked in the MLB Draft if not for a shortened five-round process. He is in line to be the first freshman in Tennessee’s weekend rotation since Garrett Crochet and Sean Hunley in 2018.

How big of a draw is having Anderson as a pitching coach for recruiting pitchers?

Oh and for the record, I'm still pizzed we didn't get to watch Crochet in Omaha. Carry on.

I keep getting an error message when trying to sign up for ESPN+. Anyone else have this issue?

Excited to follow his career, we’re from the same home town. During the offseason he went to the same gym as I did and it’s pretty impressive how his body changed, seemed like a good kid too. Went to the same HS as Ryan Weathers (7th overall pick in 2018).
