That was not a comfortable game to sit through. Besides being fairly cool/cold and breezy in the stands, hitting was terrible and pitching was not too far behind. One hit in the first (HR by Tinney) and then one in the ninth. Pitiful. The team was not swinging the bat well and had way too many strikeouts. Pitching was mediocre. I was excited to see Kade Bing come in but he was yanked without getting anyone out. Hudson Hamilton was ok some of the time and the best overall was probably Max. There was a very good Tuesday night crowd that was supportive, but wound up being disappointed. Tarleton was ecstatic because UT is the highest rank team they have ever played and they won to boot. They did not look too bad but we should have handled them easily. We had better shape up and get some life in Auburn. -
Neither brain nor maturity is fully formed regardless of what they’re paid. They need good people in their lives to advise them on these matters as parents should to raising good humans. It’s nice in their to just say let them choose what they want. Very few athletes have been truly successful with it. Bo was probably the greatest natural athlete of all time and his body couldn’t handle it. Talk about armor. That dude was 1 of 1 and his body broken down. I know a lot of people don’t like 21 but I do and he was another unworldly athlete that did solidly in baseball but wear and tear started showing up for him as well. It’s biology and physiology not heart and desire. In high school, elite athletes can wake up and dominate on natural gifts. In college and pros, specific muscle training for a given sport is often in conflict with another not to include that their bodies never rest or fully heal which is critical to like term health. Maybe basketball and one of the others could work since weight training seems to be less critical and maybe not in conflict but it tears up the knees and joints so it’ll still shorten their career. Also it’s super sad to see these elite bodies kinda broken down later so I could enjoy a sport. IMHO, choose one once in college. When pro, if that elite, maybe split the career. Football first and then baseball since it has a longer shelf life but not concurrent. Now, the real question is if he can play left guard immediately?!! 🤘🏽@Joe Zura
