See ya, Flobaseball.

I hate the auto renewal deals.

Richard is still on staff. Ricky Martinez, last year’s first base coach, is now a paid assistant at New Mexico State.

Ricky is who i was referring to! Thanks ! What is the deal with the Seranno youngster and his background other than his dad?

Serrano is a student coach. He is a junior I believe but not eligible. He works in various roles but mainly with the tech section.

CTV said the BaseVols fans raised the most money for the Shriners Hospitals.

Is there a more detailed coach in college baseball when it comes to post game coverage? CTV loves to talk and gets down to the finest details.

I listened to a podcast earlier in week that indicated there were some "distractions" in the locker room and dugout in 2023 early on. You could tell early on with all the eligibility controversy and slow pitching starts.

Tony publicly said that. When they started playing better at the end of last year, he said it took that group some time to gel and work their way through some issues.

It's early as we all know and players will need to settle in. If you had to make a decision today (which you don't), Sneads outing was too busy for me and not ready as a starter for SEC play. My 2 would be Causey & Stamos. What's good is that there are about 15 games or so before SEC play. Plenty of time to find out who that 3rd weekend guy is. Looks like ESPN+ is broadcasting all UT games this week.

Agree with Stamos or Causey if we’re choosing a vet (based on very little data thus far, obviously). I’d lean Stamos. He’s a lefty and his stuff looks really good, even if he’s not the hardest thrower.

BUT, I think Dallas and Shaeffer will have a say before the season is over. Wouid’t surprise me to see one of those two as the 3rd starter by SEC play. Dallas will be stretched out by then. I think they bring the most upside.

I like what he had to say about C-Mo, some of our fans need to listen to that clip. I’m expecting a big season out of him, especially pertaining to leadership.

 

[TechnoVol]

They know what the have in Kirby already. They have to figure the new arms out still.

I know, but it would hav been nice for him to be able to pitch in an MLB park his last year here.

I like your comments. In retrospect, I rethought Causey. Can't see him as a starter. I'm sure starting side-armers are at a minimum as a starter, actually, I can't think of one in my life at the MLB level. They seem to be set up guys. So for me, Causey is out as a starter but in as an effective reliever.

 

[taylorvol]

Then why put him on the travel roster?

He’s basically a player/coach and a great leader/mentor. You want him around the players. Plus, he will be pitching soon enough. I’m hearing maybe as soon as this weekend. Can’t wait for him to take the mound as soon as he’s ready.

 

[preacherman20]

Thanks for the thought. He played for the Kansas City Royals scout Team for 2 years and our HS in Missouri played at Kauffman each season so he has played and practiced in one a lot. He is getting to coach during the week and he is the one overseeing PFP's for pitchers so that must be working pretty good for him and the team. He should be ready to go for tomorrow or Wednesday. I hope it is Wednesday because I am going to watch the oldest son coach for Region Championship tomorrow and then Knoxville Wednesday and back this weekend.

 

[VolzGolf]

So the 2 AJs and Beam is all we really have as far as pitching goes?

No
45, 27, 7 and I still think 34 and 44 will be ready to take on bigger roles
Any updates on Wyatt Evans?

The crap stream? Camera work was great, fair to middling on the color and pxp.

Kirby did probably his finest work at Minute Maid against Baylor. It was most memorable for me anyway.
