Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

According to which one is more important to Beck. A slugging pct. that is aided by the thin air in Colorado or winning a World Series. I assume Beck would choose being a World Series Champion.
It was a stupid comment. Beck has a higher SLG at home, but it’s mostly driven by double the number of home singles.

The Home/Away advanced metrics tell a different story.

Home wOBA - .353
Away wOBA - .329
Pretty comparable

Home wRC+ 107
Away wRC+ 107
Identical

He’ll likely hit wherever he plays.
 
Happy Thursday

July 31, 2025: Refuse to stew and fret over things that you have no control over. Release those things that you are concerned about to the Lord. Trust that God has your best interests at heart. Exercise your faith to believe that all things are being worked out for the good of all concerned, says the Lord. Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose
 

If there is a waiting list for tickets why wouldn’t any business increase their prices to maximize profits? We aren’t running a charity. Especially when we have to start paying players.

If someone else is willing to pay the higher price it only makes sense. If the price gets too high then demand decreases and the price will drop. Just better start making more money.

Also, inflation.

$100 today is not what it was years ago.

He’s had a good run. Let’s be honest I’m sure he wasn’t feeding the floor and creating a hostile environment. He will probably enjoy it more from his nice La-Z-Boy that he can now afford.
there are plenty of sporting events that folks can attend. baseball. women's softball. maryville football.

I get that but also, prices have skyrocketed in a short time. Ticket prices are becoming unreachable to attend for many Tennesseans now.

I see where this is headed and I’m not liking it. The allure of college sports was based on a pure passion for the game which went hand in hand with affordability.

Now that we gotta pay players, affordability is going down. It’s an inverse relationship and it’s headed in the wrong direction.
