Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[BigOrange15]

Stupid Snit starting Swanson. No E and two unearned runs do not score. So easy in hindsight. Lack of baseball knowledge by Atlanta baseball fans was evident in the 70's, 80's or 90's and continues after 2000. Don't ever change Bassbone

Snit did make a bad decision to leave Tucker in for the 3rd inning imo. We had them on the ropes and giving up two let them back in the game and gave them some life. Took the air somewhat out of the stadium too which up to that point was just in a frenzy. I thought he got a little greedy trying to get that extra inning.

Personally, I like Snit and I have never been one to overcriticize him for his decisions, especially after the heat of the moment has died down. Baseball is a random game and **** sometimes just happens. He has been pushing all the right buttons this season and especially in this postseason...but I thought he really hurt us tonight with that decision.

That's just horrible. How do you let a pitcher get a pinch hit?

Zach Grinke has always been an excellent hitter and was a SS coming up. He had a .888 ops in 56 plate appearances in 2019 and has hit .225 in his major league career in over 600 PA's.

 

[BigOrange15]

My first question would be to ask Snit how much the MLB paid him to throw this game so the trophy wouldn't be presented in Atlanta

Snit has been with this franchise for over 40 years, I'm going to guess he'd be low on the list of people trying to screw the franchise over lol

I agree. Should've took him out at the least when the first batter got on in the third.

Hindsight is always 20/20, had Tucker gave us 6 solid innings Snit would be looked at as a genius. We’ve ran through our pullpen, we had no starting pitchers especially since Morton got hurt (he would have started tonight)

We have Anderson and Fried for game 6 and 7. Woulda been 100% worse to blow through more valuable arms and still lose. We’re up 3-1 calm down

 

[JacketVol]

All this talk about snit. I was being killed for it this morning. He’s awful. Hopefully the talent bails him out. Again.

His team is up 3-2 if they win tonight. But you guys have no clue. It's a 7 game series and you have to play the cards dealt to you. Charlie Morton was suppose to start tonight instead of Davidson but it's Snit's fault he broke his leg and can't start. He was put in a position to do what he has to do in game 5 so if we don't sneak the win, all our arms are fresh with our two best starters not counting Morton to take the mound and give us the best chance to win the series which is the goal. He starts Fried on 3 day rest and gets bombed then where are we going into game 6. He should've taken him out in third when first runner reached IMO. Which is what I would've done but only one guy gets to make those decisions with the help of his coaches. Learn the game a little better but it is ok since you are just fans.

3-2*

3-2*

Great spot to be in

 

[Weezer]

My fear is we just blew the Series. Hope not but...

 

[VolMike16]

I have zero confidence that Max Fried doesn't piss down his leg for the 3rd straight time in a hostile environment. And I'm a huge Max guy. Really needed to end it tonight.

Flashback of the 90’s

He was tipping his pitches with his glove wiggle. They fixed that and he was able to shut them down after that. I’m more concerned with some horrible approaches at the plate.

Lol

I share the same concerns at the plate but Max has been off the past 2 series. He has to be the guy from his last 20 starts or so. He has pitched right into LA's and the Astros strengths and they have done what good hitting teams do. Need him to be good for 6

 

[de1conley]

That’s great. It’s sad you won’t let them be Vols

When will you and the rest of the lovers lose this stupid azz made up azz story. We hv 9 damn players on the roster. Save it ding songs. Geezus yawl are some defeated little puppies. When the program gets right there will be no problem with kids choosing UT. It ain't that right now so they go elsewhere. These coaches make handsome checks to do a job so how about they win recruiting battles because it has nothing to do with NPA.

 

[de1conley]

So Barion can go to Bama but supposedly UK has the momentum? Seems likely.

Or you saying UK isn’t in it and that’s all bad info?

UK has suddenly in it and neither his OC nor myself can figure out why. He went on a visit with the Wade twins and loved it but it's KY and they don't have the most Wr friendly offense. Saban still wants him right now and called him last week. Ole Miss is also surging after Lane cm to PC a few wks back and had a 1 on 1 with him.

 

[de1conley]

Why would you put that in this thread? He’s a kentucky commit

Because he hasn't signed and UT has called recently to check interest. Any other questions?

 

[de1conley]

Is he playing a middle school team?

Playing Franklin HS to be exact

 

[de1conley]

Aye @de1conley does Patterson getting fired effect npa's bagman at TCU iyo?

We don't have a bagman unless you want to drop off a bag since you live in beautiful Franklin. But kids do enjoy going where they see a beautiful campus, player development, a place where they can get good NILs, and so on. All it takes is one kid to kive it talk about a place in a group chatt and others check it out and follow.

 

[tnvols72]

Poor Ga teams

 

[drvenner]

Sean Payton throwing right now now?! Twice? Just give Brady the game you moron.

LOL, followed by Brady with the pick 6. I admit, I never would have guessed that.

 

[drvenner]

AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!!!

Awesome pictures. Don't worry, we will come bail you out for photo bombing random Halloween families.

 

[drvenner]

I honestly think some of you secretly hope that the Braves blow it so you can continue to rail about how bad a manager Snit is.

 

[rekinhavoc]

Here's a thought how fun will it be when KY plays Texas?

Not too different from many of the Vol fans on here who seem to revel in our struggles just so they can complain.

Some watch us win and still find something to complain about.
