⚾ 🥎 🥎 Alabama @ #5 Texas A&M - Tide drops series 2-1

Figured I’d drop this in this thread…..



Hate Tennessee but Karlyn Pickens…. Damn!!

Had this game on TV last night, but it was mostly background noise, I was far from glued to it. But the PA announcer made the announcement about he having the fastest recorded pitch right at the end of the game... that caught my attention. There's something in the water in Knoxville for the softball and baseball teams... maybe a little gasoline. Because they've got players that throw it.

You're in Georgia. Do you by chance know a hitting coach named Mike Boyd by any chance?

I’m in NW Florida. I have a niece that played in South Georgia. Next time I talk to her I’ll ask her.

we’re in northwest Florida this week. 3 Wisconsin soccer players are camped beside us on the beach at the moment. #13 and #33. Can’t see the number on the backpack of the third girl. Girls are in shape…

But back to the reason of my thread hack, there’s Wisconsin and Minnesota people everywhere. The whole drive down, every other car. And we’re in a small housing thing here, about 15 houses, 8 are taken by folks from those 2 states. Got to be a minimum of 15 hours drive, probably a good bit longer for some.

Shoot, I'm getting all these handles mixed up. Your daughter is the really good softball player, correct?

Spring break? Maybe a spring tournament locally?

Your probably seeing some pale folks coming from up “yonder”!!!!

Spring break it is. These cheese heads are all here for vacay. One family told us it’s a straight shot, 17 hours for them, when I asked why so many Wisconsin folks. I was thinking of a lot of straight shots that were closer than that. But these Badger soccer players, they can visit any time they want. One has a damn 8-pack.

That's right! Thank you.

That's right! Thank you.

Mike Boyd…I know of him but I don’t really know him. And my daughter is an above average softball player. Lol

If we had an RTB Softball team, she'd be our ringer!

Love it. I'm sure she cake rake. Mike coaches a really good team and he tells me a lot of these girls fly across the country to play on some of these teams. Not just regionalized, but nationally. That's still crazy to me, but apparently one of his teams is extremely good. My son and daughter started with him in the Fall. He's a big Alabama guy too.
