Team is fun to watch. Plenty of bats to bring runs. Not sure the bull pen can get us to Omaha though. Hope so.

 

[USARMYWILDCAT]

I have to say this is pretty awesome. Not sure how they will do the tournaments but the program is definitely heading in the right direction. Go Bat Cats!!!

 

[TM2013]

Unbelievable season, so pumped!

 

[true blue1]

I love it!!!!

I hope they make the CWS this year, the SEC is so good and they have been a top team all year!

 

[Jamal Mercer]

Tennessee lucked out and didn’t have to play Arkansas or Texas A&M. Pretty crazy.

Win tomorrow we don't have to share the title with UT.

 

[Catfan2226]

Great job, very proud.
Go for the whole thing boys.

 

[catben]

Or a Vol loss. Would love to win it outright!!

This is a HUGE accomplishment for UK, the team and Coach Mingione!!

GO BIG BLUE!!

Could be argued that this is the toughest conference title to win in all of college sports.

SEC baseball is ridiculous.

If they make CWS I am going.

Watched both games so far against Vandy. Have watched about 1/2 the games this year. Coach sometimes leaves his pitcher in too long and has cost us a win or two but man we are fun to watch. Have only seen a couple of games were we did not have a chance to win. Win tomorrow and we win SEC outright no matter what Tennessee does. We are right now per the bracket experts the overall #1 seed in the NCAA tournament.

Coach Ming. Nearly was fired a year or two ago. Sometimes I think Mitch has a sixth sense and I give him credit for that. No cal comments…..we have other sports.

Still beat us though and we had a golden opportunity.

We did….but still lucky that out of the other top 3 teams they only had to play UK.

I first watched this team in person at Karbach Classic in Round Rock vs Kansas Jayhawks. They won that game and have been on a tear ever since. What a season.

Go Big Blue!

I don't follow the baseball.
Is this the norm, or have they been relevant before?

Kentucky, not very often.

The SEC? Yes, every single year, by far the most dominant conference in the country. Think SEC in football, but multiply that by 10.

I believe they have a few players in the majors?

Falls to a 3 seed in the SEC . Pretty good for a club with a horrible pitching staff that will end all big dreams

It’s the norm for the SEC. It’s always been the top baseball conference by a significant margin and it only gets stronger by adding Texas and Oklahoma.

Kentucky’s performance this year has not been the norm for us historically. Incredible year. It would be like winning the SEC champ in football and making the playoffs

I think this is great! Are any of the guys pro prospects?

That would be super cool!

We did not always agree, but Slugger was all BBN.

Sorry to hear this. Was he sick and this was expected?

Slugger definitely loved UK baseball. RIP
