Reynolds fired

You never want to be happy about someone losing their job, but this was the right move and it gives me a bit more confidence in Elander that he can make tough decisions. Good start to the off-season.

 

[ColtMathis98]

I'm liking the way this offseason is trending so far

 

[Bigvalley84]

I honestly didn’t think E would make any changes to his staff after one year but I guess he’s going too , hopefully we can grab an experienced pitching coach

 

[fryeguy93]

I know the whole staff was learning their new positions on the job, but I'm not sure Coach Reynolds pulled any of the right levers this season.

I don't know if you can look at any pitcher and say he was better at the end of the season than the start.

Had Frank stayed, I am confident we would have at least hosted a regional as we likely win every series that we lost 1-2

 

[JustDave45]

For sure needed to be done, proud of Coach E making the right, but I'm sure difficult decision.

 

[VolFan_stuck_in_the_901]

The only firing of an assistant that I enjoyed more than this one was the firing of Tim Banks

 

[Ttucke11]

Good move E. Nice to see he has the stones to make tough decisions. He has a lot of them to make with this roster as well.

Any chance frank will be a one and done in the mlb and come back? He doesn’t seem like a guy that would enjoy a major league schedule

Tony very well might be a one and done.

Tony very well might be a one and done.

Would he make a good pitching coach for us?


Now where DID I put that blue font?

 

[WaywardVol]

Serrano.

 

[Aerie Vol]

Feels like it had to be done. This may be totally unfair but if you can’t talk your pitchers into NOT hitting 7 opposing batters over the course of a few innings…well, I’ll just leave that right there.

Well, Frank isn’t the pitching coach for the Giants he’s more of a front office and development role. Anything is possible but I think Posey will give Tony more than one season to adjust. However, if Frank did get canned, that wouldn’t happen till late in the year and this decision for our next pitching coach will be made in the next few weeks.

Frank is close to retirement anyway, so I’m sure Elander wants to go younger.

He left Florida and suddenly Florida received pitcher of the year award.

Well he wasn't from Florida soooooo

Reynolds didn’t leave UF.

Who left Florida???

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

This gives me confidence Josh can make tough decisions. Unlike Heupel who kept Tim banks for years. Good move Josh and best of luck to Reynolds

Agree, I get no joy in seeing someone lose their job but this seems necessary.

 

[jth3z]

It definitely communicates mediocrity is not Tennessee’s brand of baseball. Our Pitchers as a whole lacked the head hunter mentality that FA was so effective at imparting. Great Job Coach!

 

[volfan2024]

Wonder if he has a coach that will bring in a couple of pitchers

 

[ETNVolunteer1]

Had to be done. Pitching was awful this season.

I don’t think he was ever E’s choice to begin with but was kept on staff because of the awkward timing of Tony’s departure.

My thought

Reynolds was set up by Tony and Frank to ease Frank into retirement, and maybe Reynolds needed another season or two of seasoing.

We likely needed to make the move quickly for the portal. I suspect there's a fish already on the hook

 

[WaywardVol]

Why be like that?

I didn’t do it. E had no choice as it looked like batting practice out there.
