I heard we got some lefty transfer from Virginia somewhere that can hurl it. Hopefully this will help us out in the pitching department this year. Anybody seen him throw yet?

 

The lefty looks like he might help us, hopefully he will help us a lot. From what I've seen in the scrimages the veterans are going come through but we need some of the others to step up and contribute. We need the two new guys to help out at the plate. If they do the lineup could be more dangerous than last year.

If 2,3, And 4 in the lineup hits like I think they will and Brian has a good year in the leadoff spot we should be able to score some runs.

The last two years someone has stepped up and had an unexpected good year at the plate( Tyler McConnell 2 years ago and Rob last year ), If we can get that this year to go along with Justo, Fleenor, Matt and Brian and the two transfers pan out our offensive lineup would be almost twice as potent as last year!

Defensively we are solid in the outfield, our starting catcher is very good but our backup is still unknown. Shortstop is still a question mark but so far Matt has handled it very well. Justo is very solid on 3rd and Fleenor is solid at 2nd and 3rd depending on who is throwing.

As always pitching is the key. Someone needs to come in and help Justin carry the load. Heath, Matt M., Matt Fleenor, Cody R., and the lefty transfer, one or two of them are your best bets.

 

My prediction is we will surprise a few people and finish in the upper half of the league.

 

Good luck guys ! Can't wait til the season starts and the grass starts turning green so I can try out that new mowing machine we got :thumb:

Pretty good call, DandDD. We will be no threat to the top 3, but we might have a shot at a 4 or 5, if we get extremely lucky. Monday and Tuesday will tell the tale.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
