  • Congrats to the Coach Serrano and the players to getting the broom out this weekend and taking care of business and to Mr.Raleigh i sure am glad that you are gone off doing whatever is that you may be doing because we got a real Coach over on the Hill now to lead our baseball program and represent the Tennessee brand like it deserves.GO VOLS!!!!vols

  • This coaching staff has already put it's stamp on this group of kids. They play hard, they play great fundamental baseball and they believe in each other as well as the coaching staff.

    I remember when Serrano took over, he said one of the first things they were going to do is teach the pitchers to trust their "stuff" and throw strikes, getting ahead in the count. It's obvious that the pitchers are buying in. There are going to be games they don't have their good stuff and they might take a beating but watching the pitchers over the last few seasons nibble at the corners and constantly be behind in the count was enough to drive anyone crazy. It was also not a prescription for winning baseball.

    Great start for the baseball team, it appears the program is in very good hands and the future of Tennessee baseball is very bright.

    They actually swept a few home series last year, although against lower division teams:

    Canisius
    New Orleans
    Manhattan

    What was bad was that UT got swept several times as well:

    @ Florida
    vs. South Carolina
    @ Vanderbilt
    vs. Mississippi State
    @ LSU

  • Great job by the players and coaching staff for the sweep this weekend. I know we will still hit some bumpy roads ahead, but I certainly feel comfortable with the driver that we have in place
    to lead us through. vols
