Stache Talk with Kirby Connell and Other Related Podcasts

[HeavenUniversity]

Kind of a long thread. What are the five or six best Tennessee baseball radio shows, TV shows, podcasts etc. for Vols baseball available on YouTube maybe? Is there a weekly coaches show? Thank you.

Can somebody help me out here. SIAP, but where is Kirby? I haven't been able to find any news about him lately, and he isn't listed as a coach.

I think technically he and Ethan Payne are considered Analysts but he’s definitely on the staff and highly engaged.

Kirby has the same title that Redmond Walsh had. He is Quality Control. It covers a broad area and he reports to Tony. He works with fielder, hitters, and especially pitchers. He does a little of everything in practice and on game days right now he is responsible for the coms that the pitchers and catchers use. He is not a grad student because he has graduated and gotten his masters. He also does speaking engagements when Tony can't be there.

You and the Mrs. raised a good one in Kirby. Your other 2 young men seem great too!

"Vollie Fingers" is no longer an appropriate nickname for Kirby Connell, who hopes to become a college baseball head coach one day.

Good for him. It is a bit of a bummer not seeing him be the do all though. I was telling my daughter and her son today how Kirby was the guy who fetched batting gear at 1B, chased foul balls, received the honorary first pitch... Great example of a good teammate.
