MLB? ….lmgtfy…
2023 Major League Baseball draft - Wikipedia

Thanks moving on man great year but getting ready to predict where Vols players get drafted.

Just simple point
Burns was wanting to be the starter his innings pitched went down coming from the pen
He was an amazing coming out in relief in the playoffs for sure
Just didn’t think he was happy not being a starter-

Yea, but he was not effective as a starter this year. He brought his ERA way down after being a reliever.

Don’t make Sense why Dicky not catching, and Dryling and Tears not playing corner outfield spot. You can not convince me we are that much worse with Tears and Dryling in lineup over Stark and Scott.

Maybe we have a better offense with those playing, but no where near the defense. Defense starts with the catcher.

I’ll try to put the MLB Draft thread up sometime later this week.

…rough. Tip of the cap. Great year. GBO! !

LSU has the best NIL arm in the country and there isn’t a close second. They have a GYMNAST who has made multi millions

definitely brought his stock up.

Yeah, but she’s a hottie, has a huge interwebz footprint, and has played her opportunities exquisitely. Come on dude. Do better.

@preacherman20

Kudos to Kirby for that play at first base. Your kid's a baller.

Not sure if he has one more year or if this was it for him, but thank him for being a Vol. He's been there for some exciting times.

 

[GhostVol]

Thanks, finally, to this great baseball forum. I learned a lot and had a great time. Salute.

And I'm glad to have been a participant in the imparting of baseball knowledge, LOL

In all seriousness.... we don't really know how good we have it

Freak runs a clean board

I've peeped a few of our opponents boards and they usually look like something a pre-teen would come up with on an old MySpace page.... some of which if you simply posted "How 'bout them Vols?" you'd be hammer-banned faster than you could hit enter to post.

What does the gymnast have to do with baseball?

 

[knoxvol52]

Rotation next year Burns On Friday ,Beam Saturday and Russell on Sunday midweek ? Play cupcakes in midweek anyway does it matter who starts?

 

[Weezer]

Tonight just wasn't our night. Never took advantage of opportunities we had to score and gave up too many unearned runs.

He popped me tonight for a Bull Durham refererence… something taboo you can’t call the umpire. May have been an AI deletion…
I blame that on @Volprofch05 by the way…

 

[lilesrt]

Any good prospects coming in from the HS ranks?

 

[Orange931]

Not even close.

Yeah it is

 

[chuckiepoo]

Any good prospects coming in from the HS ranks?

Yes. Google baseball recruit ranking 2024 to start. And bring back contributions and links!

[Big Al Orange]

definitely brought his stock up.

It certainly did and there’s no crying in baseball anyhow.

 

[Weezer]

Looking to next year, batting has to be a priority IMO. LSU has a lineup of professional hitters. We need at least a few players like that.

TN lost a couple of those "cupcake" midweek games that hurt their seeding later in the year come tourney time

So.... yeah. Matters who starts

 

[DownTheField]

Hate that it ended. Took another step. This team stepped up and found a way to put together a banner season.

Why Freak allows the FL riffraff to hang around is beyond me LOL

 

[NorCalVol67]

You trying to make me tear up?
