That currently shouldn't be hard for him to do. ;) Wished you could take on that kind of work ethic...not just dieting.

What is wrong with you and why do you feel the need to beat up on not just a college student, but an under-classman. From my experience, I'd bet that you don't like yourself too well.

To be honest, I think he has lost some weight over the past year. But if he had this attitude, we would be hearing more good things about him and would be getting time on the field out of him. Don't want to put him down, but if he kept this kid's schedule he would be a factor for opponents to deal with. Sorry to offend you or anyone else - there are others on this team who are not that size who need to adopt this work ethic or we will not see them on the field for any significant playing time.

i've heard absolutely nothing good. he cant stop eating and still isnt in shape.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I cant wait to see him on the mound


Sep 5, 2012, 9:04 AM

315 and throwing high and tight will be fun to watch.

Re: I cant wait to see him on the mound


Sep 5, 2012, 9:06 AM

agreed.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

If he hits a batter, they will go after the 2nd baseman.

i would love to see someone try to charge him on the mound...actually i'd probably pay to see it.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I watch that often, it is called the UFC lol.


Sep 5, 2012, 9:39 AM

And the batter would get GTFOed like any scrub facing John 'Bones' Jones at this point.

Say him pitch a few times when he was in High School...great athlete with an amazing attitude and work ethic.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I'm guessing there will be no


Sep 5, 2012, 9:49 AM [ in reply to I cant wait to see him on the mound ]

bench clearing brawls next year. He could just step out of the dugout and the other team will think twice!

Don't know anything about his parents but in all liklihood


Sep 5, 2012, 10:26 AM

there is one or more great parents and role models behind this young man.

He and his family must be very proud of him.

With his work ethic no matter what happens for him athletically he is going succeed in life.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I foresee him in a closer role for baseball this year


Sep 5, 2012, 12:19 PM

Just need to get him some really intimidating intro music.

Kids like Reader are proof the dumb jock is becoming as rare as the leisure suits of the seventies. There are still a few around in the midlands, however, these kids are realizing that books and school are as important as tackling and blocking.
