A change-up or breaking ball on fastball counts can be a good idea if you can get the ball over. Not too many hitters will crush a 2-0 change-up because they will be expecting a fastball.
I was a section hiker when I lived in East Tennessee. I had young kids, so a thru-hike was never an option, but my multi-day hikes were so nice. I miss those days!

I always wondered why Georgia hadn't won more titles in baseball. One of our primary rivals in AABC ball was East Cobb. Tons of talent in that program, many went on to MLB careers. Of course many of them may not have met Georgia's academic requirements.

I think it’s just the generation that grew up with travel ball and social media.

They spent their childhood being celebrated and their moms posting their “careers” all over the internet. You don’t know you’re a douche when you’re a 12 year old boy. (You are)

Used to be, the coach was your only connection to the sport. And he had no problem calling you a little shite. Now, your mom runs the show and puts you on Facebook/Tik Tok. Causes these dipshits to think they’re ARod when they’re like 12.


I coached and was a board member of an elite travel organization in Tennessee founded in the 70's. It was a club that most of the best kids wanted to make. Something changed in the 90's.The moms were always an issue. We'd lay out the rules at the beginning of the season to try to nip it in the bud, but the problem festered. The internet made it worse.
John McDonnell has to be there. More national titles than anyone.
UCLA will play better in the final. Their guards are suspect. Especially Walker. She's the weak link for the Bruins.

Ark not considered hillbillies. NC, Tenn, Kentucky are the real deal.


It's not like Appalachia, but places like Mountain Home definitely have a similar vibe.
When we lived in Knoxville, her son was on my son's little league team. I coached third and always felt a little uneasy with a coaching legend sitting behind me. But she was always the nicest person and came to a lot of the games.
Everything seems to be an adventure with him in LF.

Damn, Vols. Guess you don't have anyone that can close a game out.

Best catch I've seen so far this year.
I'd kill myself before I'd allow myself to be captured by the Iranians. It would be like being captured by Comanches. They'd torture you to death.
I'm guessing she didn't visit the Confederate cemetery. That's something to do. Or Rowan Oak. She could go fishing at Sardis. That's 3 things.
Hegseth is a complete idiot.
We lived in Knoxville for 8 years during the Manning era. It's changed a lot since those days. Market Square is full of great eateries, although Tomato Head was there in my time. Places like The Kennedy on Gay Street are really nice. Bearden is nicer.

We loved the XC meets and KYS little league games on Cherokee Blvd. Beautiful area.

The strip has lost its charm and character and feels much too corporate these days.

I heard he had some respiratory issues and couldn't stay on the floor very long. Maybe a less intense program is better for him.

Wasn't looking good early, especially with that inexcusable drop by Stanfield. Ouch. But I figured we'd come back. Thank God we did.
