Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Christian Lowe]

I could’ve sworn that one of those balls in the video I replied to broke the other way. Could’ve just been the way a two seam was tailing

I thought Fernando Venezuela or whatever was the last splitballer

 

[drvenner]

The amazing part is they only had, what, one WS Championship to show for that gauntlet of pitchers they had. Criminal in my opinion yo waste that much talent. All Braves fans are complicit and should be caned.

It's Glavine's fault.

 

[drvenner]

I’m ok with that as a Twins fan who enjoyed the best World Series of all time in 1991 thoroughly.

Probably the second best WS ever, after the Cubs win in 2016.

 

[drvenner]

Huh? Did DVH say something in his post game presser? The two dudes worked together for four years. Vitello approached DVH. I think it was more Vitello just manufacturing some bad blood for the anticipated rematch.

I think none of us really know what was said and what prompted it.

I think it was a number of things with CTV, and the pot just boiled over after a disappointing loss. Arky players were pissed about the way Ferguson celebrated after his walk-off HR, which was in response to Franklin's earlier celebration. The Hogs were getting the calls to end the game, and it got chippy. Hog fans made fun of the stadium all weekend and there were complaints about the facilities. DVH continued to beat this drum in his presser, claiming they had no hot water.

I like the Hogs a little less every time we play them.

Baseball players should celebrate however they want.

This whole unwritten rule and showing people up stuff just stifles the fun in the game. It needs energy and on-field drama. Less gamesmanship, more bat flips and Cerrano. Interest in the game would double instantly.

I miss managers going after the umps as well

What is something CTV should've done yesterday?

What is something CTV should've done yesterday?

My comment wasn’t about CTV.... just miss managers throwing bases, kicking dirt..... things like that.

Voltello living rent free in Van Horn's head.

Just win. Go to the CWS. Anything can happen then. Wait until that's over to see where they finish in the rankings if they don't win it all.

We can talk cutters versus back ups or whatever. It's all about the finger placement and pressure on the ball combined with the pitcher's release point/arm angle for two seamers.

Which side of the argument do you think Vitello took? Tastes great or less filling?

 

[LA Vol]

I wish more of our coaches would speak up. If anything, UT has been go-along-to-get-along for much too long. DVH was rubbing it in at the end and I hope Tony V gave as good as he got. And if the team can channel that anger to pound their way through the postseason, all the better. Winning takes attitude and passion, and I'm glad the BaseVols have some.

 

[Weezer]

It's Glavine's fault.

It was Bobby Cox's fault. Braves had the talent, but Bobby's management in the post season was not the greatest.

Agreed, one thing the basketball team has been missing since Admiral left. Barnes as a coach is only going to do so much, gotta have some one with a bit of emotion on the court. Keon was just getting comfortable in that as the season ended.

 

[LA Vol]

Can he coach football?

Bet he would give a helluva pre-game talk.

 

[VOLED]

Apparently TV went back for second helping after teams left the field

Looked to me like Tony V was ready to have a go.

 

[ACvol3]

I think gant was one of those guys that juiced during the 80’s.... he came up fairly skinny and one off season..... he came back jacked.

I don’t doubt it

 

[drvenner]

Nope, I blame everything on Glavine, one of the most over-rated pitchers of all time. Dude could not keep his mouth closed during the strike, either.

Man I loved watching Admiral. Admiral and Jennings were some bright spots through some times when there weren't very many bright spots. Those guys define bleeding orange.

 

[Smokeytom]

It is rumored that Vitello is upset about how Arkansas is/has recruited someone that UT has recruited or committed. Sure, maybe not the time and place, but whatever. People calling it a bad look, and I think that’s a stretch.

Ah didnt know any of that. Thanks!

 

[Smokeytom]

Which is living in Van Horn's head. Watch Van Horn immediately after the game on the field. His team just won the series with some gutty hitting/running/pitching. Why is he angry and going at it with TV? Why are they meeting after the game with no handshake afterwards? Arky/Van Horn should be just enjoying the win and treating us like we are just another team. Instead...

Eh, the guys know each other really well. Probably just a little too comfortable with sharing whatever’s on their mind to one another.

Even though you are correct, how dare you speak that way of our lord and savior Bobby Cox...

 

[Batman1948]

You’re kidding me

True story

Meh. My only real beef with Glavine is when he went to the Mets.
