You either love the University of Tennessee Baseball team or you hate the BaseVols. There’s no in between. These “bad boys” of college baseball have that Big Richard Energy also known as BDE.

What is BDE?

The loud and boisterous energy emitted by someone who has a colossal phallus and doesn’t have to tell anyone about it. The energy speaks for itself. The Big Dick tells it’s own story. Everyone strives for big dick energy. Only few possess such a gift. People with big dick energy possess qualities such as leadership, kindness, positivity towards others, great humor, and a “don’t F with me” aura. Great hair too. -Urban Dictionary

The 33-3 BaseVols are the #1 team in the country for the 4th straight CB poll. This team is fueled by passion and loaded with talent. They define grit and know how to have fun while showing sparks of the WWE. Whether it’s mocking stickers on a bat or Mike Honcho references in post-game interviews, THIS team is entertaining. The BaseVols are fun to watch and it’s hard to take your eyes off the head coach, Tony Vitello. (Insert heart eyes emoji)

Records

The BaseVols Drew a record crowd for a baseball game at the Tennessee Smokies Stadium with over 8,183 fans. (The Smokies are Double-A affiliate of the Chicago Cubs.) But we all hope they never play a wooden bat game again. That game ended the Base-Vols 23-game winning streak, one game short of tying the SEC record.

Home attendance records have been shattered. More seating and standing room were added and fans are still turned away. The fans wear their own Daddy hat and you can spot them rocking fur coats as they manifest all the dingers about to fly out of Lindsey Nelson Stadium.

In other words, if you build it, he will come! And that is exactly what Tony Vitello and the BaseVols have done! 

Haters

Umpire Jeffery Macias is a total BaseVols HATER! During Saturday’s game, Tennessee pitcher, Chase Dollander was hit in the elbow by a line drive by Alabama’s Zane Denton in the first inning. Denton CELEBRATED the injury along with Alabama’s dugout and Tennessee’s pitching coach, Frank Anderson was livid! (Seriously, Bama celebrated a pitcher getting drilled with a ball!) Anderson got tossed and Vitello was HOT (in more ways than one). He too was tossed and then his hat came off and Vitello was in Macias’s face. There was a minor chest bump to Macias who dramatically stumbled backwards and therefore, Vitello automatically received a four-game suspension. Gosh, I wish Vitello was mic’d up. I would love to hear that conversation.

Dollander doesn’t have a fracture, but his timeline to return to the mound is still a day-to-day situation. Tennessee won 9-2.

Summary

From fifth-year senior catcher, Evan Russell. “This is new territory for the entire program, I’m not going to sit here and say that the fans are acting like they are used to it, because they have nothing to be used to. We’ve been disrespected as an entire athletic program for so long that once we start winning and succeeding, we’ve still got that little mindset of underdogs. Now that we’ve got something to fight with, we’re going to bring a good fight. The atmosphere has been unbelievable. Hats off to Alabama for playing such a good weekend in some chaos, really.

And for all you Tennessee Vols haters here’s a fun fact. Tennessee is one of only two teams in Division 1 program history to have been ranked #1 in football, men’s and women’s basketball, baseball and softball. The Texas Longhorns is the only other school to accomplish #1 rankings.

Love them or hate them, the BaseVols put on a show! Tennessee plays Bellarmine at 6:30 tonight on SECN+ and heads to Gainesville for a day series against Florida on Friday.
