I just came to the radical realization that it was I (James Frye) who is responsible for the collapse of the baseball program...

It was I who inadvertently cut off the supply of blood to Coach Raleigh's brain.

It was I who forced Mike Hamilton to hire the brain damaged Raleigh- I guess out of compassion.

It was/is I who enables Todd Raleigh (and his oxygen deprived brain) to berate his team, fire his experienced coaches and point fingers at the previous baseball staff.

It was I, who intellectually bullied Todd Raleigh when he was a child in New England and gives him an unending distrust of the opinion of others that are smarter than him.

So Hobock, come back. Post more about my negativity. I don't mind. If it would make you feel better, I can quit being right all the time.

From now on, I will be nothing but positive. I will not post that our pitchers seem to be better when coached by other coaches. I will not post that we are losing at a phenomenal rate to programs with fewer scholarships than UT. I will not post that Gorilla Ball is a more apt description of our coach's abilities than style. I will not post that Todd Raleigh's hire was laughed at by those in the know throughout the southeast. And I will certainly not post that you continue to defend a buffoon against constant evidence of your poor choice.

I am sorry that I have let my favorite Vol Sports program now. I will now live in a delusional world where Todd Raleigh is misunderstood where fans like me are sabotaging his efforts.

There is no logical defense for Raleigh...anyone that thinks there is is delusional.

Don't you guys understand......It's not Todd's fault...It's all mine because I'm so negative and have no new ideas.....Todd can never be blamed.....Blaming Todd may be a violation of the ADA.

You were much quieter when we started out 3 and 0. When we lose you look like a genius. Congratulations big guy!

I never said I supported Raleigh. I have in fact been critical of him to his face. I simply said all of your posts are critical and negative. By the way, you never responded to my question, how do you suppose to "fix" the baseball team other than firing Raleigh. Maybe Hamilton will consult you when he is trying to decide which brand of toilet paper to put in the restrooms.

You do owe me an apology. It's for wasting my time by reposting the same repetive garbage worded differently. Shylock?...That pretty weak James.

Missed that msg sorry, I think the athletic department has done several excellent things for the programs including phenomenal stadium upgrades and infrastructure that will be further improved with the indoor batting and pitching cages in a few months.

I no longer think promotion is a problem as PT Barnum could not get people into this circus.

Todd Raleigh has now hired a complete staff of persons who could not be head coaches (at least at this time) and could not take his place should he be fired.

You ask what Todd could do short of being fired himself, he could

(1) Hire better assistants and let them do their jobs
(2) He could treat young men who PAY to play for him like human beings.
(3) Todd could learn about pitching and hitting from experts and not pretend he's an expert until he does.
(4) Todd could admit when he makes a mistake and learn from them
(5) Todd Raleigh could try something/anything different
(6) Todd Raleigh could call Jack Leggett and Tim Corbin (those who got him this job allegedly) and ask their advise.

It's too late for Todd Raleigh to pretend to coach these guys. The best thing he could do for 2010 is to step back and let the players and unqualified assistants do their own thing for a while. Couldn't hurt...


But I digress, it's my fault.
