We may not make the WS....but we might. So I'll not venture any absolutes. I once heard a man in a debate say that "ABSOLUTES do not exist in our world"....the man he was debating ask..."so you're saying there ABSOLUTELY or no ABSOLUTES?" The first dude literally responded...."YES...that's...

I have no idea what the actual reason was for the transfer BUT TV having the coaching acumen to move him to the bullpen (he was literally costing his team wins) really solidified TV abilities in my mind. Not that he needed my approval 😂. I wish CB the best… except if he plays the Vols. Then I...

Baseball is just so hard to predict. Very often the “best” team doesn’t win. Pitching can dominate a game (good pitching stops good hitting). Can we win the CWS? Absolutely! Will we? 🤷‍♂️

Yeah I agree. But getting the pitch count up IMO can be accomplished in other ways. Never should get yourself 0-2 in the count to get the pitch count up. Actually it’s mostly our 6-9 hitters doing it. If a fast ball is in the middle of the zone for CMo, Burke, or Amick…they better be swinging...

Our K's do seem to be on the rise. Talking with a great baseball mind last night and we both agreed the Vols need to be more aggressive earlier in the count...especially the back side of our lineup. I'm sure TV has discussed that, but it must be frustrating to see them keep get in the hole 1-2...

What a joy to watch a kid of his talent play so hard. We’ve had extremely talented players come through the program but no one has embraced the Vol program more than DK did. Always humble, never self serving, and genuinely wanted to entertain the fans and contribute to his teammates success. As...

As a very successful SEC Defensive Coordinator once told me...."football boils down to two elementary things - spacing and generating mismatches". If Josh can create those things with a Mickey Mouse offense....then count me in. BUT....his offense is anything but MM.

I have no bad feelings for JA….but CLEARLY his last two games here magnified a glaring massive deficit in his game. Can he recover at Arkansas enough to be an effective scorer? Maybe. But the total meltdown we witnessed will certainly have to be dealt with at some point IMHO. I’m just not sure...

Thanks for posting. Saved me a lot of time researching. Excellent post!

I fear you are correct. At some point, this train will have to be pulled into the station and reworked. What comes out on the other side may not even be recognize-able especially for those of us who’ve followed this sport for 50+ years.

I guess this is where I'm at as well. I'd rather have him as not BUT I think we'll be ok without him. On some level I do feel bad for him. CLEARLY...the stage and increased talent level against Creighton and Purdue where too big for him (no pun intended). And I don't think Coach Barnes is the...

I personally think you have to. Waiting around trying to figure this stuff out...and you'll be eaten alive. I feel zero animosity toward these guys for leaving but I think let's move and get our team for 2025. And let JA play where he wants.

Glad he’s a Vol! Usually when a kid has great parents it shines like the sun. Mashack CLEARLY has great parents!

When I gave my life to Jesus in 1982 …he delivered me from HATE! Have a beautiful Sunday friend!

My opinion of GB was formed YEARS before the Bud Light travesty. I know very little about GB’s music 🤷‍♂️.
