Ask me anything else I’ll
Try to answer

Knox is about to be baseball Mecca

Unreal HS teams. A Farragut SS has signed to play D1 baseball the last 10 years. That’s crazy.

UT becoming a power and about to have a better stadium

New minor league park downtown for Knoxville Smokies

Old Smokies park will be part of a college wood bat league-like the Cape Code league, that will be fun too.

Wish we could get MLB RBI program going for the city kids. If we could develop the hidden talent there UT would dominate.

Pretty obvious Vandy is the cheater and set us up

It couldn't be more obvious that the whole charade was planned and that they were waiting for a home run to call it out. They wanted to both rob us of a big hit and throw us off our game, and they also wanted to create a narrative that we cheated. I'm not sure how the back inspection process works so I won't comment, but the catcher knew to look at the bat immediately.

Bush-league move from a bunch of betas and they know it.
