RTI’s Jack Foster and Ryan Schumpert are back to discuss the biggest topics in Tennessee baseball. First, Josh Elander is moving to the dugout full-time and no longer coaching third base. Why this move makes sense and the positives that could come from it. Plus, Stone Lawless is out for the foreseeable future after taking a pitch to the face Sunday. The guys discuss how Tennessee is likely to handle the catcher spot and how Stone’s absence could cause a sizable ripple effect. The Vanderbilt series is one of the more heartbreaking in recent memory. The guys break down what led to three walk-off losses and changes that should and could be made, including bullpen pecking order and the starting rotation. But with the issue being at the plate, who must step up moving forward? All that and more on the latest Diamond Pass.

The RTI Diamond Pass is back with Jack Foster and Ryan Schumpert examining Tennessee baseball’s heartbreaking series loss to Georgia from all angles. First, addressing the elephant in the room of coach Josh Elander’s decision to NOT pull Brayden Krenzel in the seventh inning. The guys share their reactions on the decision and the events to follow. Plus, an in-depth analysis on the starting pitching performances from Tegan Kuhns, Landon Mack and Evan Blanco, as well as stellar relief appearances from Brandon Arvidson and Cam Appenzeller, and why Bo Rhudy deserves more opportunities. Tennessee’s offense was BETTER in Athens but couldn’t capitalize in a handful of key moments in games two and three. Still, the guys acknowledge Manny Marin’s incredible hot streak, Blake Grimmer’s quietly great series and Levi Clark’s productive Sunday. Where could Clark fit in if he figures out? Finally, a word on the second base competition, what makes Henry Ford THAT DUDE for UT this year and one Vol who must begin producing at a higher level
