Have we got a surprise for you...

I was following the action here on VN heh - reading off the posts to our gang headed to Destin - it got crazy after the first BOOM...

 

[DownTheField]

That was magic. I'm still stupid grinning with no one to high five. I know scared the sh*t out of all of my neighbors

Please no. I’m a long time Rangers fan. Literally, one strike (twice).

I've been a Cardinals fan as long as I have been a Vols fan, since birth. I was going absolutely nuts that night. After a sloppy first few innings, it did turn into one of the great games of all time.

 

[VolnJC]

Missouri adds one in top 5th...9-4 still batting 1st 2nd no outs

FWIW, the Marlins and Blue Jays scouts were near me. Of the pitchers, they were taking footage of Dallas, Hunley, Kopps and some Wicklander. The Marlins guy did more on Dallas than any other.

Dallas has raised his stock tremendously this year. That guy is a great teammate off the field as well. Proud for the kid.

Here’s Wilky’s call. It’s a must listen.

 

[Sudden Impact]

Mad MAX Left the YARD WITH the BALL but WILL BE Back to PLAY AGAIN Tomorrow.

I am a fan of Dallas. He seems to have the mental makeup to be a starting pitcher.

11-4 Arkansas today.

Good call. You should ask Freak if he can change your name to Bonehead and make it permanent.

 

[NorCalVol67]

Here’s Wilky’s call. It’s a must listen.

That.
Was.
F'ing.
Awesome!

I'm gonna make that my ringtone.

Great teammate and has 2 quality off speed pitches to go along with command of 91-94 mph FB.

I was born in Dallas area but moved to Memphis when I was 4. Extended family all in Dallas. Nolan Ryan was my idol. I would prefer a Vols title over the Rangers, but that is one of my top disappointing night’s of my life when it comes to sports.

Pav and Spence reach before Ferguson walks it off......

You are Peerless!!!!!!!

I lived in Dallas at the time. That year my wife watched all 162 regular season Ranger game and every post season game. I thought I was going to have to call the police, she was so pissed.

Here’s Wilky’s call. It’s a must listen.

I've it for him. With all the bad baseball he has had to call. He deserves this as much as any TN fan.

I was at all 4 games of the 2012 NLCS in SF. After not beating Zito in game 5 in St. Louis, I was concerned. Watching the Giants celebrate after game 7 was brutal. And, blowing the series to KC in '85 still haunts me.

I've always thought changing speeds is more important than being able to hit the mid 90s..ala Greg Maddux...he was probably high 80s low 90s most of his career

Here’s Wilky’s call. It’s a must listen.

That's what I was listening to at work...and yelled boooom so loud everyone looked at me...GBO!!!️

Ray Miller, longtime MLB pitching coach (who just recently passed) puts it this way: "Work fast. Change speeds. Throw strikes.

 

[txbo]

That.
Was.
F'ing.
Awesome!

John Ward would be proud of that call. It’s an instant classic.

Cheers to you Wilky.

Maddux was a different animal. He was a true sharp shooter, had pin point command like nobody’s business. 99.9% of guys can’t do that so they need the velocity to get away with mistakes at the next level. Maddux was a damn freak.

He was..catcher never had to move the mitt it seemed...glad I got to see him pitch...also got to see Pedro Martinez throw a 1 hitter vs my Reds once

Pedro was great but he had the mid 90’s fastball in his prime and a nasty slider/change combo. Nobody could spot it like Maddux. One of the best to ever do it.
