I was thinking (among other things) I hope the horse didn't buck her off after firing.

I don’t think Tony wants the headache of the MLB gig. A bunch of overpaid cry babies that won’t even hustle out a ground ball. I don’t think the majors could handle him honestly but that’s just my opinion

@MAD
Dirk Diggler is making a case for player of the game!
First he guns J-Ram at 2nd, with an absolute dime, then he hits his first, go ahead home run!
Who the heck is this guy?

I mean, he’s with a bunch of underpaid cry baby fans now.

Isn't the goal for any college coach in the long run is to be considered for it?

I’d be surprised if he made the leap from college straight to a manager’s chair in MLB. Anyone know the last time that happened? Nothing comes to mind. I would think teams would insist he serve as a bench coach or manage in the minors first

I can’t think of many at all.

The Tigers are smelling blood now!
I hate it for J-Ram.

Vitello, Jarrett and the dude in Nashville with a stick up his @$$, would be the three I think would be considered.
Am I missing anyone?
Did Pat Murphy leave ASU to be a manager or was he a bench coach first?

Correct ..always whining and complaining..

Worked in Padres Organization first then got hired as a bench coach by Counsel while he was manager of Brewers .. remember Murphy was promoted to interim Manager of Padres a few years ago before getting replaced in off season.

Pat Murphy left ASU in 2009. It was 15 years before he got a managerial gig in MLB

For some reason I thought he went straight to the bigs.
I had no idea that Murphy got his start locally...

Well, at any rate I hope whatever TV does, if offered, does what's best for him
and I will give him my best wishes in all he does. But I feel like I hope he stays at UT until he quits or retires on his own terms. He's great for UT Sports.

Completely off topic, but have you guys watched any film or highlights of Tennessee football commit Legend Bey?
Holy that kid is on another level!

CTV isn't going anywhere, yet... Although there will probably be a day he believes he has done all he can at Tennessee..

If TV does decide he wants to try his hand at managing “in the show” he will likely have to pay his dues either on the bench or in the minors and that’ll be at a substantial pay cut

I saw a picture of him on Facebook Wednesday w/no information on him.
I thought it was strange to go all out but no info on him. Cool name too.

I have a good friend that is a very close personal friend of Tony V. He says he isn't going anywhere right now. He said he wouldn't go to San Francisco. Just passing this along.....

Put him at bat boy. That'll be a good start.

That's great. I don't want him going anywhere but staying put w/UT baseball.

I didn’t buy it to begin with.
He was enjoying a trip to San Fran, to watch Gilbert, Beck and Dolly play and nothing more.
I have no doubt that he an Posey “talked”, I wouldn’t expect two baseball guys not to.

RIP Jane Goodall ... 1934-2025. Google Search

257K views · 14K reactions | Jane Goodall was a friend of the world, the rare person who was an ambassador across different species. She changed how we think about the planet, about other animals and even one another. In our film, The American Buffalo we watched these magnificent creatures improve ecosystems. Here's a clip from the film, which reminds me of how Jane Goodall improved the planet, with grace and respect. | Ken Burns
