You are welcome to look them up, but he gave up back to back hits (single and home run against TTU). In addition, he then walked a batter in the next inning. Yes, he has good stuff and gets a lot of strikeouts, but he has not proven to be as dominant as some believe.

His batting average against is .135. Stats can sometimes be misleading but c’mon. How dominant do you want him to be?

Bringing football into the mix too.
Watch: Tennessee Football Smacks Dingers in Anderson Training Center

The Tennessee BaseVols have hit 88 home runs in 37 games so far in 2022.

Tennessee Football has hit zero.

Until Tuesday, that is.

To wrap up Spring camp, the Vols decided to have a little fun in the indoor practice facility and take a page out of the book from the No. 1 team in the country.

IMO, he needs to locate his fastball better. His slider is essentially unhittable. If he were as all around dominant as some think, he would be stringing together longer outings. I'm not saying he is not capable, because he clearly is, but he is not there yet.

that can't be, we had half a thread saying it was because the batter stepped out of the box and a strike wasn't called........then debated if that was the correct call or not.

It's kind of a bad look on FA and TV part. Sign stealing is part of the game, as long as it's not being done illegally with electronics there really isn't ground to stand on.

agree however from CFA's perspective, a player got hurt due to knowing the pitch. Don't blame anyone and I see both sides, lesson learned, hide your signs better. Like 66 and others have eluded, it gave our staff an opportunity to create some "fire" for the guys.

Thats why I'm not totally convinced it wasnt planned. And yes it did lead to a guy being injured but it's really hard to control a ball being hit and getting it to go exactly where you want, I would say the injuries are more just bad luck than anything.

At the end of the day, move on. It’s baseball. Love the fire from our coaches and taking up for the boys. Next time don’t chest bump Blue, even if he looks and acts like a total chode. Next.

But if Frank's beef was the coach was well outside the box to be able to see and relay pitches and the Umpires weren't doing anything to clean it up...he's got a valid point.

This. Right. Here. Also, their hitter stepped out of the box so the stolen sign could be relayed, and he would know what pitch was coming. Likely wouldnt have happened if Umpires would have requested Bohannon to remain in coaches box after CFA‘s initial complaint.

Expect nothing less from Alabama. The next time they pass up an opportunity to cheat… will be the first time.
