"Bag o'Glass"... Childhood favorite.

See this mornings' post, fan. Then seen others posts on the subject in past weeks, fan. See other posts from others on here who know baseball, fan.

But I will give you one. Every SEC team they play knows our SPs pitch up in the zone by design most of the time. They apparently think they can overpower them. That would be a wrong assumption this season because other teams have watched the videos from last season, so they adjusted. Just like they know they will not hold guys on first well. No improvement in locating pitches or holding runners since last season.

CTV needs to sign you up on staff asap

Mizzu just beat vandy. Walk off in the 9th style. That helps a little

Yeah but then I read what a mess Mizzou has been of late and I think about them dominating Tennessee a few weekends ago…. Ugh! Rough start to SEC play for the Vols for sure.

Dan Aykroyd at his best.

Don’t be too hard on ‘em. A lot of young guys that had to follow the greatest show on the diamond. They’re not ready yet.

They’ll get it worked out. It might just take longer than this season.

I get that. Dollander and Burns are disappointing me the most and the pitching was supposed to be our strongest position this season. We're also leaving a ton of runners on base, especially against SEC competition.


It just looks off. They look like the basketball team did after the home loss to KY..... lost. TV has the pieces on this team, but they aren't playing together.

I’m not saying that I “gave up” on them after the Missouri series, but I greatly reduced my expectations and sort of resigned myself to just enjoying watching them improve this season.

Our staff will get these guys where they got the last crew (or close, at least). Just a matter if it’s a month from now or a year from now.

Hoping to get to see them in person this year. Haven’t been able to make it as of yet.

Is that a photo from your TV? If so, turn down the sharpness a lot and contrast a little. Will look much better.

I lowered the sharpness from 10 to 5 and contrast from 48 to 40.

Does this look better to you?

I think we can agree that this season has been a let down so far. I believe CTV and the team would say the same. It is what it is. Doesn’t mean he’s a bad coach or we hate the players.

Every stinking one of you suck for allowing the Vols to lose. You obviously aren't pulling your weight.

Frank Anderson is one of the best in the business….knows baseball…..if it was as simple as deliberately pitching high in the zone…. I’m very confident that Frank would have that corrected by now.

Just max everything, what can go wrong?

If you'd spend a little more time in the dugout and a little less time in Pretty Holly's office. . .

Not babysitting Tony Jr. so Big Tony can get his rest.

I've got a spring fed, 1/3 acre pond. It's about 10' deep at its maximum. I originally stocked it several years ago with channel cats, hybrid bluegill, and largemouth bass, all fingerlings. Over the years the catfish and the bluegill seem to be gone and I've got a pond full of 12" or smaller largemouth. I know the hybrids don't reproduce so I know they're probably gone from that. I restocked the bluegill and catfish about 5 years ago but never saw them again. I decided to give it another shot and put in 100 cats and 100 red ear sunfish. I also put in 3 pounds of bull head minnows.

I suspect the last time I stocked they either went over the dam, were eaten by the bass, or heaten by a great blue heron. Before stocking this time I added a significant brush pile. There wasn't much structure for them to hide under before. I released them in the brush pile and a cattail patch in one corner.

Anything you would recommend to help these fingerlings? They were tiny - about 2" on the bluegill and 4" on the catfish. Should I try and feed them?

I'd recommend getting a fisheries expert to come check it out. May be low on nutrients which reduces the phytoplankton and zooplankton - the base of the food pyramid. Your bluegill are really supposed to feed the bass and catfish, but they may not have enough food themselves. You could feed them, keep stocking minnows, and/or a fisheries guy might have you add a phosphorus fertilizer to promote some suspended algae/phytoplankton growth. It's been a while since my fisheries courses though.

There's a lot of what I presume is algae. Lots of floating green mush if that helps.

@Glitch is the root of most problems.

Are the coaches cooling down on this kid?

Looks like a new screenname for someone who has been around a while.

dang man. nice.

That’s good for you. Does it taste like peanut butter? If it does, it can go the way of mayonnaise.
