Next man up. Hope everything is okay with Evan and he either comes back soon or, if he can’t, goes on to great success. He’ll go down as a Vol great either way.
But sports, especially baseball, can be funny. Maybe this .065 hitting backup catcher comes in and gets hot. Maybe he comes through with some clutch hits this postseason. Maybe he gains the confidence he needs to break through next season. Maybe he becomes the surprise story of a great postseason run. Impossible, you say? Of course not. Crazy things happen all the time in American sports. That’s why we love ‘em.
