Former Red Bank High School pitchers Alan Walden and Jeremy Bales are reuniting as Chattanooga State baseball transfers for 2010-11, and four freshman pitchers are joining them. Those are Blake Davenport and Tripp White from LaFayette, Dylan Massengill from Southeast Whitfield and Chad Kirby from the Chattanooga Patriots home-school program.

After a stress fracture cost him almost all of his senior season at Red Bank, Walden made 15 appearances totaling 15 1/3 innings for Tennessee, giving up 20 hits with nine strikeouts. He said he didn't get enough work or teaching with the Volunteers.

“Just trying to relearn how to pitch again was the big thing, and pretty much I was having to teach myself,” he said Wednesday.

I have heard this from numerous players....no instruction--no coaching...no development.
Just ranting and raving and threats. But Raleigh was quoted as saying on the radio that he will definitely be taking the team to Omaha next year.

Yep several of the pitchers have complained of that all season long last year once Coral was fired there was no instruction.. seems like this coaching staff is about as useful as socks on a rooster..especially Beverlin and Raliegh just here to collect a paycheck..I dont think they know what coaching means.... idiots

what is he taking the team to omaha for ? i guess it would be to show our team how you play to get there, and show him and his staff how you build and lead a team to get there !! if we put up with this guy another season, which i guess we have to, it will take a long, long time to pull baseball back where it should be !!!:banghead2: :furious3: :cray:

I wish the kid all the best. He didn't say there was no instruction. He said he was having to "re-learn" how to pitch and he was "pretty much" having to teach himself.

Is it possible that he simply wasn't good enough to pitch at this level after getting injured? That doesn't make him a bad baseball player. He obviously had battled a serious injury.

The number if young pitchers who go to D-1 or SEC schools and transfer to smaller schools is astronomical.

Ok fellas....Bash Away!!!....:)

Ummm....saying he had to teach himself is pretty much saying he didn't have any instruction. That's pretty simple to figure out.

Come on, VSF! Read the quote again..
He said he "pretty much" had to teach himself. That doesn't mean there was NO
instruction. It says there wasn't as much as he might have liked.

You can spin-it if you want to. The point is that the kid felt he needed to leave UT in order to better himself. I wish Walden all the success in the world!

You have plenty of ammo to bash the coaching staff. There's no need to "interpret" a quote in a way that fits your personal feelings.

That's weak!!!

It is, what it is...
