This is "sport" for me. A distraction. I love the Vols but none of this is life or death. If I ever really start truly hating any of these guys... it will be time to find a new distraction.

Real life has more than enough difficulty. We just learned a couple of weeks ago that my wife's cancer has returned and spread. We're going for a 2nd opinion this Friday but the first one wasn't the kind of "option" you ever want to hear.

Sorry if anyone here takes it too personal but it has been good for me to butt heads with people here when no real harm can be done.

I couldn’t pick, all I know is that TN is very deep in it with Holman. Beam has been on him hard for over a week - that stuff helps a lot. And burns who the hell knows. Stopped trying to figure that one out. I think the longer it lingers the better chance he’s back. He was for sure gone, then there was a week they were almost definitely getting him back, then he was going to tcu. And then that fell through. Imo and at least one of his former teammates opinions it’s in his best interest to go back, and I do not think bridges are burned and they would gladly welcome him back. We shall see

I think there’s a scenario you land both, but I wouldn’t expect that

So sorry to learn about your wife, @sjt18. My family went through a similar experience with my mother exactly one year ago. It certainly puts everything into perspective. I’m sending prayers and healing thoughts to your wife, you, and your family for successful treatment and recovery.

Jared Dickey’s Farewell post on his IG was gone for a few hours now it’s back up. I think he takes the overslot bonus when he’s drafted and leaves tbh

These next few days are going to be insane.

Undrafted guys nationwide may find they have no roster spot at their old schools.

Those already in the portal waiting for the draft to decide their school based on who was and want drafted.

There may be another wave of high profile guys entering their names in these last few days the portal is open to them.

All that is true. However, we’re in a good spot.

We've pulled it together a little bit now but the idea of losing someone I've been with for 35 years and really the only woman I've ever loved still doesn't seem possible. I shed more tears in two days than the rest of my adult life put together.

Prayers for you and your wife. I’m sorry you’re going through this.

Yep, it is really bizarre to me how many people think Galanie isn’t that good. Got a bunch of people who said he wouldn’t qualify as big news before we landed him too. This is a top 100 draft prospect caliber player who has multiple years of elite level production at multiple solid levels of baseball. Sure the Socon isn’t the sec but it’s still a pretty good league and he dominated it. Has also completely dominated the cape this summer too

How is he dominating? Because he’s hit 4 HR’s? He’s batting .232 right now, which is good for 88th in the CCBL and has 2x as many K’s as BB’s. Meanwhile, Amick is batting .368 with 2 HR’s and has a K:BB ratio of 1:1. Amick is the one showing out right now.

And who had him as a Top 100 draft prospect? He’s not in the top 300 on any board and wasn’t in the top 600 (which is basically every pick) on at least one analysts board.

Summer ball not off to a great start but he had a good year at Wofford last year. He’s going to be a solid player for us I would guess (if he’s here). But yeah I’m really excited about Amick!
