Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

[Tennessee Golfer]

We want Wake to win so we only have to beat the corn dogs once and Skeenes isn’t going to pitch tomorrow.

We want Wake to win so we only have to beat the corn dogs once and Skeenes isn’t going to pitch tomorrow.

Agreed. On another note, I thought Burns was every bit as good as Skenes today. Had all his pitches working and was hitting upper 90s with ease.

 

[VolGee4]

Let's be honest....you had to go looking for it though, right? Someone is always going to complain or disagree about anything. You got my point, man. Skenes being the first reliever to come in for LSU tomorrow is perfectly fine. Just so happens it's unfortunate for us. Haha.

I’m not on Twitter and I knew what Law thought about Hall because I had seen it. He took the same stance on Matthews. I’m not sure what your point is. Law is a baseball guy, and he called it “irresponsible.” If Jay Johnson wants to go there…then fine. But I just know our coach protects our players because he knows they are worth millions. This is not a new concept.

Go for it. If he somehow gets injured, only NIL money will bring you high end pitchers again. Bringing him in to throw more than ~ 20 pitches on 2 days rest? Yikes.

Let’s be real….he’s gonna have Tommy John surgery within 5-7 years anyway (just like almost all pitchers in the modern game). If he got hurt (which is pretty unlikely IMO) then he rehabs and comes back for Spring Training 2024.

Staley looking good too I see

 

[OrangenSC]

I don’t believe so unless Jay Johnson wants to be that guy. Maybe a few batters, but that is still something that would get him criticized.

And it would be stupid strategy. That would not be a must win for them. So why do it? Maybe, maybe, maybe if it was a critical situation, like maybe they have a lead in the 9th and we have timing or winning runner on. Maybe they would bring him in to close it, but even then I doubt it

Sure, tell that to him. He’s worth millions right this minute. Go for it.

Bro, no. I can't even fathom this mindset. I'm happy our coach isn't like this.

Minus about 5 million, but sure

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Yes, they can. There are no rules restricting pitchers. But it would be coaching malpractice to pitch a guy so quickly and risk his future (unless maybe situational with just a few pitches). It’s why Vitello is a player’s coach. He has not done it at UT.

Appreciate the explanation. I played baseball in middle school and high school but I was a first baseman and never did understand the pitching thing.

 

[pierce60]

LSU pitching is pretty bad after Skenes.

And the umpire finally doesn’t have a strike zone as big as the all outside.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Lol. That tells you nothing. How many pitches did he throw? Theoretically, he could have thrown as few as 21 pitches.

It's just a general question. On average, etc.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Frank, there is an ad banner displaying “Good Luck, Tigers,” (referring to the LSU Tigers) at the top of Volnation. I normally don’t question your ad decisions, but that one I can’t abide.

I hate internet cookies. . . if I search for highlights of the UT v Bama, UT v UF games, etc, I start getting videos and news about Bama/Florida/Georgia. . .

I’m not trying to be a jerk, but the problem is that the ultimate decision doesn’t rely on generalities. It will rely on the specific circumstances, including the circumstances of the game that is being played.

Wake’s in a bad spot.

Grumors! Now that’s what I’m talking about!

Randomness of the day: Wake coach that was just out for a mound visit - former summer ball teammate in the NYCBL back 2005. Hadn’t seen him since.

 

[UpstateVol613]

Unbelievable play by the Wake 3rd baseman

Not the one out there now. The one that was out there before that play at the plate

 

[UpstateVol613]

Unbelievable performance.

We'll just have to agree to disagree. Go Vols!!
