CFA the man with the plan! Can’t wait!

it will be interesting to see if there are any “bleeps” during the podcast

Or if CFA gets thrown out

Just hoping we hear CFA's thoughts about Q!

CFA is so humble. He said at the Banquet that he’s embarrassed by the attention he received winning the Pitching Coach of the Year Award. He doesn’t like the limelight but loves his team and the young men. I’m not sure there’s a better staff in all of college baseball than Vitello, Elander, Anderson, and Q. Then you add in the Volunteer Coaches and Support staff and CTV has built a formula for sustained success.

You will be greatly surprised by this one. Why we do it. What you see is not always reality.

I'm really not trying to bait you into listening and you might not like it as much as I did. But after doing my production work today, getting rid or coughs, background sounds, a few dead spots and adding those dreaded commercials, I am amazed listening to this podcast again. It is such a raw conversation between a baseball pitcher and his pitching coach with a dad listening in and adding a few comments here and there. Coach Anderson may have been the best at just opening up about his life, good and bad, and a lot of great stories. He is the one that so many will walk away with a different perspective of than all of the other players, parents, and coaches we have interviewed. I'm glad my son has been able to be around him every day for four years. Kirby will definitely be a better person and at some point a better coach for having been around Frank Anderson.

There’s a reason that MLB scouts rave about CFA and CTV made him his priority and most important hire. Really looking forward to this podcast. PS. I meant to tell Kirby how much I have enjoyed the Stache Talk podcast when I saw him at the Banquet. Please tell him for me. 🍊👍😀👊😃🍊

Great podcast with Coach Anderson. Completely lived up to the hype.

 

[taylorvol]

I can see why CFA is so revered by his players. Seems like a genuine authentic family man who thoroughly enjoys coaching.

 

[preacherman20]

The podcast Frank Anderson is the one I have known. The one last year was unusual to me except, as he said, I knew he just saw himself protecting the players. We have talked family, church and stuff. Very rarely baseball. He always asks me what I am preaching or preached. I love the guy.

The talk of spirituality rolls off his tongue with ease... Sincere.

 

[preacherman20]

Does anybody have a fall roster or was there one on here somewhere?
Nevermind. My inside source got it for me.

Perks of being a VIP

 

[preacherman20]

That VIP is costing me a pretty good chunk. I told someone the other day that being a UT fan is pretty expensive for me.

When will the roster be announced?

 

[preacherman20]

I figure 2 more weeks. We are doing a roster update this week with Kirby talking about each player and giving some stats and info.

Thank you preacherman 20 and Kirby for publishing these podcasts. I have not yet listened to every single one of them, but every one I have listened to has been great. I listened today to Frank Anderson, and could listen to him all day. It is easy to understand why he is an elite coach/leader/mentor. Not at all what I would have expected, but not surprising considering the impact he has had on the game in his career.

I really enjoy hearing these baseball stories and perspective. It is great to get a glimpse of the team off the field......but for baseball junkies it is also just very entertaining. So thanks for taking the time to do it. As long as y'all keep publishing them, we will listen.

Tomorrow's podcast has a comment just for txbo. You might like Kirby's plan for bunting, if you like any plan for bunting. You will have to listen to see. We do a full breakdown of the 2023 roster and Kirby's thoughts on each player along with some other info and a few stats.

LOL! Looking forward to it. We'll meet back here tomorrow to discuss it.

Really enjoyed that podcast. So a few comments.....

1) Did not know Kirby was a switch hitter.
2) I felt like Kirby was messing with me personally. LOL
3) Enjoyed Kirby's self-deprecating humor.
4) In the scope of one's life, At Bats are rare. When presented, swing for the fences. When the last chapter of your life has been written, your biggest regrets will be the times you laid one down.

Just imagine this call from Wilky.....

It's the bottom of the 9th, Wright State leads Tennessee 8-5. Bases are loaded. Nobody out and Drew Gilbert comes to the plate. Gilbert shows bunt and the infield plays in. Gilbert bunts down the 3rd base line...........

How much would that suck?
