College baseball players generally play in summer ball leagues throughout the country. It is a valuable opportunity to gain additional experience, particularly for those players who may not be regular starters. The Forest City Owls are a summer ball team in the Coastal Plain League who play in Forest City, NC. Our own esteemed RBFJr is one of those in charge of the team. Many UT players have played for the Owls over the summer (i.e., Kirby, Redmond, etc.). Summer Ball also offers fans an opportunity to continue to watch players progress, and therefore we track summer ball assignments of different BaseVol players in this thread.

I’m used to explaining things to people who don’t know, whether I like it or not

Well, you're Baptist.

 

[preacherman20]

Well, you're Baptist.

I resemble that remark.

I'm Lutheran and the Baptists always kick our ass in softball.

We drink beer in the dugout between innings but they wait until it gets dark and drink in the parking lot.

 

[preacherman20]

They say that’s why they make back doors in the liquor stores. For the baptists.

It’s the ink drop icon at the top of the message box … all kinds of colors! There are italics, bold, and other functions mixed in.

 

[knoxvol52]

I might have found the blue font help

 

[knoxvol52]

Hell yes thanks

 

[knoxvol52]

This proves even a dumass like me can do something with a little direction

Missing baseball and Tennessee pitching? Tonight (Thursday), at an away game near Clemson, the Owls have Austin Hunley as our starting pitcher versus the Lexington County Blowfish. So if you are already at Clemson, it’s less than a 10 minute drive to the Lexington County Baseball Stadium. First pitch 7 o’clock.

Or you can listen here for free: Forest City Owls Baseball

Or if you have a subscription, you can watch it on Flosports.

Last night in summer ball action, we had two Tennessee pitchers facing off: Jerry Garcia for the Owls and Jacob Bimbi for the Holly Springs Salamanders.

I was paying attention to the game at Clemson, but I think Garcia had no decision and Bimbi had the loss.

So, as someone still trying to understand the nuances of college baseball, can someone help explain to me why Garcia would be pitching in summer ball already and not with the team?
