Ross Mitchell

Heard he’s going to be in the booth some with Jim this season. Does anyone know where and what he’s been up to since he graduated?

A couple of years ago, I went yard off of Ross Mitchell in a church softball league. Just saying.

He's still playing softball, but he hasn't gotten any better...

He was great for us during the early BBCOR era. Unfortunately they tightened the seams on the baseball before his senior year and he was throwing BP to teams in 2015.

I think he's living in the Jackson area, doing training with aspiring ball players.

A damning indictmet from Lawdawg. I don't even want to know what you say about my tennis game.

Did he throw the ball underhanded or overhanded?**

He was, but Cohen benched him.

On this same note, I once took Van Johnson yard (for those of you that remember him). I like telling that story. I just leave out the part where we were both chubby 12-year olds at the time.

I've heard him twice during midweek games. He sounded like a kid that has never done it before during the first game. As expected.

His 2nd game was better, but he's not prepared to relax and just talk. Seems like he just shows up.

Jim doesn't help him at all though. No leading questions, no softball questions, no memories of the BENCH MOBB...I bet Jim HATES sharing the booth with anyone.

Cohen needs to have patience with Ross though. He could be really good for future generations. Jim is coming up on 50 years at the mic

There was definitely a marked improvement this game from Ross. He knows his stuff.

And I'd have to disagree with Jim hating to share the booth. He seems to enjoy it. Hell, half the time when he's by himself he talks with E (Everett Kinard SP?) anyway. He probably doesn't want to, but I'd love it if he'd put on a headset. You just know he's got a lifetime of interesting stories of all the sports teams. On second thought, maybe he's not allowed to for that very reason.

I've also wondered about Jim's eventual replacement. Seems like there's no way in hell Neil Price could do all 3. Is Jay being groomed to fill his shoes...or Wyatt, or Bart?

Or DS or myself... Just keep playing Pat..

Wyatt is good on the watch ESPN app for our baseball games

Maybe it’s too soon, but I’d like to see a video of Ross adding some commentary in the booth and struggling a bit. Cohen then comes in the room and takes the mike from him. “Time for a switch.”
