I hate the Dodgers. Always there with some brilliant pitching effort to stand in the Braves way.

This is on the Braves, not Ryu.

Very poor at bats.

Awful.

Ryu is an amazing pitcher tho regardless

Ryu is an amazing pitcher tho regardless

Is he though? He's decent but he's not 7 IP/4H/0W/8K good.

Might be the first time a pitcher with a career xFip of 3.46 has been called amazing. He is nowhere close to amazing nor has he ever been

He had a 1.97 Era this year with a 1.008 Whip. Last 3 games he pitched he allowed 4 hits in each and one total run, he started in 15 games this year and allowed zero runs in 6 of those. He’s a very underrated pitcher and having the best year of his career

This week, Pruitt & Co., have seen top 2019 targets like 5-stars Quavaris Crouch, Darnell Wright, Auburn linebacker commit Owen Pappoe, Georgia tailback commit John Emery and Vol Wanya Morris. Other notable prospects they checked on included Khafre Brown, Jamie Robinson, Tyrion Davis and Kaiir Elam. The Vols continue to gain momentum with Robinson, a South Georgia safety who has relationships on staff with Kevin Sherrer and Shelton Felton.

John Emery

I wondered to myself if he might’ve been the kid AtlVol was referring to the other day.

For the receivers, it was a heavy dose of back shoulder throw work and high-pointing the ball. Both areas are things that are key for a receiver group that's not just going to run away from people

In the secondary, it was a big week of fundamentals for the freshmen Alontae Taylor, Bryce Thompson, and Trevon Flowers. It appears that Tennessee liked what they saw out of Baylen Buchanan at the star position and with Shawn Shamburger back in the dog house, look for Buchanan to continue at that position. The reps for Flowers this week were huge as he continues to learn the complexity of the defense. Flowers is very young in the game having only played one year of high school football.

He is probably not, but good pitching can make good hitters look very bad. He did not walk anyone and was hitting his spots. Hats off to him. Braves could have done better but the pitching was very good.

I hadn't realized Flowers only had one year of HS ball. He's flashed a lot this season.

His era was like 2.00 before the groin injury, he’s been having a really solid season

Agree. That ball he picked against UGA where he came over the top was one of the more athletic plays I've seen a safety at UT make in about a decade. Even though it didn't count due to the offside penalty.

He got exposed by Grier in the first game, but he's making strides.

man, i hate hearing that about Sham....what's wrong there?

Ik I hate the fact that Buchanan is getting in pt over him

College basketball trial: Documents allege Collin Sexton paid $5,000 while at Alabama, had monthly salary

Bama implicated.

That's dirt cheap for a player as good as Collin Sexton. Talk about good value for money.

According to CJP, inconsistency.

i do think BB is playing better. i still liked the way Sham played last year. was very hopeful for him this year with this defensive staff. hope he figures it out. i think he could really help us. sooner than later.

Shamburger stays in the doghouse. He's not going to get the game reps he needs to become the player he should be until he starts bringing it every practice. The coaches have sent a clear message and so far, he doesn't seem to be getting it. Buchanan is getting better. Even Abernathy is stepping it up.

 

[Vols4us]

Kershaw ain't the best until he has rings to show off. He wishes he had 3 rings like MadBum (Madison Bumgarner for you rooks). Is Kershaw better than MadBum? Probably, but no postseason hardware makes him not the best in this humble (and admittedly bias) Giant fans opinion.

Agree. Winning the rings is what sets them all apart. The Giants rode MadBum's arm with a mediocre line-up. What a pitching stud he was. Add in the brilliant managing of Bochy. One of the times they did it was against my Reds.

agreed, just hope he gets it at some point. i think that kid can play. hate that he's not further along.
