College baseball has a major issue that needs to be addressed if the game is to continue to grow. That issue is umpires.
Every day umpires look in the mirror and say, “how can I make today about me?”

This is the most egregious ejection I’ve ever seen. Kolby Branch was ejected for throwing his helmet and celebrating his WALK OFF GRAND SLAM. He is now suspended today. Home plate umpire… Jeff Macias. Shocker.

Cannon Peebles had a phenomenal freshman season at NC State. Since transferring to Tennessee he’s really struggled at the plate.
Last night he hit his first home run as a Vol and the reaction from his teammates is everything

Mike Bianco hates fun. Ump did the right thing and let a kid show emotion in a huge spot and Bianco wants him ejected. There is no place in college baseball for people like this.

Through 32 games here is the comparison between the 2022 and 2024 Vol offenses
2022: .321/.445/.648, 79 HR, 321 R
2024: .336/.442/.669, 87 HR, 333 R

Can’t talk Vol baseball without some half minded fool bringing up the size of LNS. In 9 road games the Vols have hit 28 homers.
UT has hit 2.56 homers per game at home and 3.11 homers per game on the road.
No matter where the Vols play they rake.

How good is the SEC this season? Auburn is dead last in the SEC with a 4-20 conference record. They are also 19-4 in non conference games and 2-1 vs the ACC.
If Auburn played in the ACC we’d be talking regular season title race

This is the most unprofessional broadcast team I’ve ever seen for the Tennessee @ Kentucky series
Actively cheering and rooting for Kentucky, zero opponent research, incorrect name pronunciations, and the camera consistently pointed away from the play.

He’s trying to foul that pitch off and stay alive because he got fooled. Every player will cast like that at time but Ohtani has a much longer swing and long arms so his cast is longer than most others

There has to be some accountability for umpires. This here is umpire Morris Hodges initiating contact with Mississippi State 1B Hunter Hines.

The interference rule at 1B is the dumbest rule in sports. They require you to run in foul territory to touch a base that is completely in fair territory. You have to touch the base but you’re never allowed back in fair territory to actually touch it.

27 days until Tennessee baseball is back
On May 19, 2022 the Vols scored 27 runs in Starkville. Lipcius, Beck, and Gilbert hit back-to-back-to-back home runs in the top of the 1st to start a 9 inning onslaught and spark a 27-2 victory

The Nationals recalled Trey Lipscomb 3 days ago. Since then he’s made appearances at both 1B and 3B.
Looks as if the Nationals want to find a spot for his bat in the lineup as often as possible

Vol baseball has now hit 49 home runs in just 18 games this season. That’s good for 2nd in the nation.
In 2022, the Vols hit 54 home runs through their first 18 games.
This 2024 team has some tremendous offensive firepower.

We’re shaving what a minute or two off the game time? College games don’t have a length issue anyways. MLB doesn’t have an issue either imo but the problem isn’t in the field it’s the 90 min of commercials being run during every game

Vol baseball commit
@AustinBreedlov5
has started 11 games for Cleveland State this season. In 66.2 IP he has struck out 105 batters which is the most strikeouts in the country for a juco pitcher
Keep his name in the back of your minds for next season
The Vols added another arm to their pitching staff yesterday getting a commitment from juco RHP Austin Breedlove. He has 2 years of eligibility left.
@AustinBreedlov5
was kind enough to answer some questions about his commitment.
