Harrison Ingram vs Knecht should be a fun battle tomorrow. Dont think Vols have enough offense to keep up with RJ Davis and the others on the road

Vols schedule is an absolute murderers row

They’ll be well tested for sure. Still think they win the SEC. UK plays rec league ball

UK is favored against Miami tonight, I'm curious to see board that game turns out.

I have this fear in my gut that AA is going to fail to address the starting pitching in a satisfactory way. I shouldn't, because AA has done a great job, but I do. With Gray now off the board, do we continue to pursue free agents, or do we look for a trade. Trades are hard when you have the weakest farm system in baseball.

I still want Yamamoto.

AA has not given out a multi year deal to a starter in his six years. He has only traded for two starters in his tenure: Kevin Gausman in 2018 and Tommy Milone in 2020.

If he does anything outside of a one year deal, it will have gone completely against the grain

Can't wait for AA to come out of left field and next thing we know we have Yelich in LF.

You seen his contract? No thanks

I'm sure I could think of someone better he was just the first All Star player that came to mind that might be available.

 

[Weezer]

Not sure if accurate but being reported that Yamamoto wants a team that already has a Japanese player. If so, guess that rules out the Braves.

If we can contain Bacot and Ingram, I think that we can snare a road win in Chapel Hill tomorrow night.

Calipari against Larranga should be a fun coaching match up.

Talk about an absolutely asinine move lol. That just can't happen.

So I saw Vance Joseph was the DC for the Broncos and he was the Broncos head coach for a couple years and I thought “Wow, that rarely happens, a fired HC comes back and coaches for his previous employer in a lesser role”.

I can’t imagine that has happened in P5 football for a long time

That IS crazy . . . but I'm not even talking about it from a coaching angle. Dude was fired for cause because he lied to his boss about putting his mistress on the payroll. That's not something they can just ignore.

SEC is wild lol

I’d do this. AJSS only significant piece and he’s very raw with upside tho

Dodd a nobody
Murphy doesn’t have a big fastball
No room for Grissom except LF

Absolutely worth it, especially with two years team control

 

[LotteryPick]

I’m fine with giving up AJSS to get Cease. Don’t wanna give Waldrep up tho. True wipeout pitch and throws hard.

Im on the fence, if I knew Cease would sign an extension then im fine with it.

Waldrep is untouchable for me unless it’s something like Waldrep/Ozuna for Soto or something like that

This sucks,

LWS posted this in FF for what its worth:

"Corey Robinson. On staff now as an analyst. Watch for him to replace retiring Martinez."

Corey Raymond out at UF. Will Heupel go after him?

An "escape goat"? Better go catch that sucker! :)

[zjcvols]

Strider
Fried
Cease
Morton or Anderson

You can win a WS with that and the bullpen we’ve built

 

[zjcvols]

Also, AA won’t do it, but I’d totally sell high on Elder if possible

I feel like hes destined to be the #5 this year.

There’s worse #5’s out there. But maybe some dumb GM would give up a decent piece for him by looking at ERA
