Anyone that is involved in youth baseball….. what is the best/ hottest drop 5 baseball bat?

2017 Demarini CF Zen

Edit: The drop 8 is illegal for USSSA but the green drop 5 is still legal. A lot of teams you see with big hitters are using this bat. They pay insane amounts for them used as well.

SIAP. I was unaware that Jawuan James was still on a roster. Seems like so long ago that he was at UT

 

[bluegrasser]

Kelly comes off as a self-important ass right off the bat, insinuating that the media members must be late because they partied too much or something; and then let’s them know he expects them to put $10 in the “kitty” each time they’re late.

They like, “nah, bruh - this ain’t south bend”

Josh pate just released his updated power rankings and previewed TN vs Pitt. He has us ranked #12. His model has us favored to win by 7. He picked us to win and cover.

His podcasts are great. Very informative and stays neutral even though he lives in Nashville

Have you considered sending club members Andy's autograph, or even an Andy mixed tape?

Please no. I’ll cancel

BK is a great coach but he took over a dumpster fire the way the culture was. I think LSU had about as many transfer out as TN after Pruitt. You just can’t come off as a pompous ass in the SEC when you have accomplished nothing at that school. At least he didn’t use a fake Southern accent. Lots of overreacting just because LSU lost 1 game. Welcome to the SEC. Bryan Harsin says Hold my Beer.

Just watched the volquest podcast with Charles Davis and Dr Carmen Tegano. Good stuff, especially from Charles. NSIAP:

I love this series

I mean, it does sound pretty unprofessional to show up late as a reporter

Oh my. It’s real. On mobile but here’s the link. Starts at 1:07:04

The look on Swain's face as soon as he heard Andy's voice was priceless.

Maybe giving them that lecture after a disappointing first loss was a bad idea, but I can't fault the man for asking them to be on time. These big university head football coaches are incredibly busy, and their time allotments are tight. It doesn't seem unreasonable to remind them that press conferences running over will interfere with other obligations.

So what if they're not on time? Start it on time, answer for those present, skip those not there and end it on time. Coaches are late to media sessions all the time.

No need to crybaby around or make stupid remarks.

Yep. I never liked him but he was just letting them know he would like them to be on time. He was joking about the $10. Although kinda funny, the reporter was way out of line.

UF jumping from not ranked to 12 is wild to me.

If Tenn rolls Pitt Sat. Pitt will drop 1 spot and Tn will fall to 25. Fla is a joke

Matter of perspective I guess. He could've done what you suggest, but there would have undoubtedly been criticism from some quarters for that too, probably including from the media. Maybe he was really trying to make it work for everyone by saying, "Let's all try to keep these on schedule in the future."

Yeah, or let the media relations dept handle it. Shouldnt be the coach's job to chastise media members who are late. Just seemed a bit unprofessinal to me. . . of course, I don't like the guy, so I'm gonna give him a hard time with pretty much anything he does anyway,

Week 1 is in the books –

In the March 28th preview I posted for Florida and LSU, using the early preseason SP+ model from Bill Connelly, Florida was forecast to beat Utah by 2.8 points and Florida State was projected to beat LSU by 1.4 points. There wasn’t even a 50% probability that both of those things would work out that way, one maybe, but not both. jmo.

Even though the outcomes were unsurprising they make a tremendous difference in the narrative. If Florida loses it’s going to take Napier a while to rebuild. If LSU wins it’s because they still have elite talent. I figure that’s what the narrative would have been with alternate outcomes. jmo.

Florida State was #16 in the country in returning production. LSU reportedly only had 39 scholarship players when Kelly got to Baton Rouge. There’s QBR and there’s the NCAA passer rating. Anthony Richardson so far does better in the former and not so good in the latter. jmo.

West Virginia was #127 in returning production but they looked every bit as good if not better than Pitt last week. I don’t know if it holds true or not but I think Pitt is at risk of an emotional letdown after their “big” rivalry game. I don’t know if you can overcome that with coaching. It’s emotional fatigue and similar to physical fatigue there’s some period of rest and recovery required to get back to 100%. jmo.

In preseason models SP+ had us at 9 or 10 in all three editions, ESPN initially had us at 28 and Sagarin had us at 29. My understanding is that the latter two models were penalizing our offense due to the recency factor of Pruitt’s offenses. ESPN now has us at 10 and Sagarin now has us at 16. Similarly, I think Bill Connelly overrated Pittsburgh base on the same recency data. jmo.

Lastly, with Mitchell and Williams being out last week, people have speculated about why. We’re told it’s not injury related and I think Heupel said on Monday that we’ll see if Mitchell is HEALTHY enough to go by the end of the week. I’m guessing but I infer that both guys may have gotten the COVID. That’s still a thing; it’s just not talked about that much anymore. jmo.

Last week our 1st team offense had 8 possessions, scored 6 TDs, 1 FG, and punted once. Our 2nd team offense had 2 possessions and scored 2 TDs, while playing behind our 2nd team offensive line. Our 3rd team defense (3rd team because a number of the guys on the field for us weren’t listed on our 2-deep) held the Cardinals to a FG after the mishap between TJ and JWT, and Paddock was still running the Ball State offense. I think our depth may be underrated just a bit. jmo.

Right now I’m still thinking we have a decent chance of being undefeated when Alabama comes to Neyland. jmo.

After reading that, I feel like we can beat EVERYONE on our schedule..I went from a 9-3 type of girl to an undefeated type of girl..Heck yeah!

Best stat of the game imo

Look at Swain's face throughout. That's the face of us all whenever it comes to that dude.

I’ve come to love Andy. Seems genuine
