So completely hypothetical but hear me out. It seems that Tony V is just not cut out for the majors. Now maybe he turns it around but I doubt it. So what if and it’s a gigantic if, say next year or the year after he wants to come back to TN. Should DW hire him back?

He is literally less than 50 games into his major league career. It is a big step up, maybe wait until year 3 is over before ending it.

Happy Tuesday
Scripture — Acts of the Apostles 9:17–18 (NIV)

17 Then Ananias went to the house and entered it. Placing his hands on Saul, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord—Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here—has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” 18 Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and he could see again. He got up and was baptized,

Reflection:
This moment is powerful because both men had something to overcome.
Ananias had to walk toward a man everyone feared. Saul had persecuted believers, and yet the first words Ananias speaks are, “Brother Saul.” That’s grace in action. Before Saul ever preached a sermon, performed a miracle, or proved he had changed, he was welcomed as family.

Saul, on the other hand, had to sit in blindness, helpless and dependent. The man who had once moved with confidence now had to wait for God to restore his sight—both physically and spiritually.

Then the scripture says “something like scales fell from his eyes.” God didn’t just heal Saul’s vision—He changed how Saul saw everything.
Sometimes God allows a season where we can’t see clearly—not to harm us, but to strip away pride, old assumptions, self-reliance, or misplaced confidence. And when His timing comes, what falls away isn’t just blindness… it’s whatever has been keeping us from seeing Him, others, and even ourselves clearly.
Real transformation often begins where control ends and surrender begins.

Prayer:
Lord, if there are scales over my eyes—pride, fear, distraction, self-reliance, old assumptions—remove them. Help me see You more clearly and see others through Your eyes. Give me the humility Saul showed in waiting, and the courage Ananias showed in obeying. Where You are reshaping my vision, help me trust the process. Fill me with Your Spirit, and let my life reflect the kind of transformation that only You can bring. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

That seemed dumb to me, like bruh was struggling to find something to complain about. It’s not like football or basketball where a clock is running. So what if it took 30 seconds or whatever it was. What difference did it make?

Also was that Frank standing next to Tony when the clip starts? Seems like Frank should know. Also seems like they would have a walkie-talkie or something. I seem to remember that we have some direct line to our bullpen.

Btw, isn’t Kirby working in our pen?

Kirby is working with Vols yes.

Frank isn’t even the pitching coach tho. I think people get that confused.

But agree that thing was no big deal.

Just more of my childhood fading away.


*we just took our son to Sevierville last summer to ride go carts a week before he got married. At 50 years old, I still managed to get us kicked out of the Track. 🤣

In a perfect world just imagine the justice and peace that would be served if we all took this kind of heroic “stand” against other humans who commit horrific crimes/create chaos,it would stop quickly…at the end of the day right and wrong is the moral compass we all should live by as humans but we’re so lost in society it’s forgotten…too many people mind their business now days and keep walking with a phone out…its just weird weird times now…this generation would not survive the 80’s and 90’s…completely unchecked….anyways @Ulysees E. McGill for president 🫶🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤣

Guys, gals, and morans, it's time. The week has arrived where I/we, my family embark on a fabulous 10 day excursion into the turquoise blue waters of the Exuma, Bahamas. Our vessel? A 403 Moorings power catamaran with 3 staterooms.

We board the plane for Nassau at 6:30AM via Miami. If there are those of you that would like photos posted during this voyage, please respond "Aye, aye!"

(If no "Aye, Aye", you'll get them anyway. )

We used to have Gran Prix track at Raccoon Mtn with these babies..fun, but expensive at like $1.50 iirc for 2 laps, or 2 minutes.

Alpine Slide was great too. Ride a little cart down a concrete track off a mountain. Man you could fly, literally and speed wise. What could go wrong? 😂

Interesting little read on Nebraska and NIL. The TLDR version is Nebraska took the College Sports Commission into arbitration and lost. Now has to find new NIL deals for 18 of their athletes and can't legally pay them until the new deals get submitted.
