Tim Tebow- The Baseball Version (1 Viewer)

[[scooter]]

One of the Mets execs said he got promoted because of his impressive exit velocity of the ball off the bat.  

He was promoted because of the impressive velocity of the money out of fans wallets.

Well, I missed out on the Tebowmania. Never made it down to see him play. 

However, I do have plans to go the the Fireflies play. August 21st they have a promotion going called "Total Eclipse of the Park" 2nd row behind home plate. Should be fun.

3-5 with a HR today in a doubleheader.  Well on his way to another promotion.

He hit a HR in his 1st AB with his new team just like he did in Columbia.

I freakin Love It!

 

[RokNRole]

At least we learned something from his journey. Jesus is a baseball and not football fan.

 

[Todem]

He is playing baseball....having fun.

God bless this guy.

The Tebow Effect

$1.7M per SALLY league club estimated to date (which I think is low based on per caps I've seen in other comparable parks w/o Tebow).  

He's one of a kind.

He's one of a kind.

“I’d be willing to bet every team in our league uses photos from Tebow games with packed ballparks for ticket brochures, pocket schedules, digital photos, etc., for years to come,” Shea said. “Plus I think Tebow literally spent every spare second he had pre- and post-game signing autographs and signing pictures. Those people will be fans for life and probably remember those experiences forever. Tough to put a price on that.”

Walk off.

 

[gump]

11-game hit streak, hitting .327.

Alderson confirms what I thought was obvious, he won't be called up to the bigs in Sept.

 

[James Daulton]

Good on Tebow.  He could have easily slipped into a commentator and speaker role and made huge money.

He still will. 

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Wow. Makes you wonder where he would be if he chosen baseball over football in high school.

Without a Heisman or national championship.

Amazing.  Going from being the butt of jokes just a few months back, to an emerging prospect today.

He's not an emerging prospect. But he is certainly better than anybody expected. 

 

[gump]

...or a statue in front of stadium that fills 92K every game.  The heights he hit in football, even if it was college, aren't achieved by many baseball players.

 Tebow now sits at a healthy .320/.407/.520 through 23 games.

1) 20 games isn't a meaningful sample at all. 

2) there is no scout who considers him a prospect of any kind.

Yeah, it is kind of impressive even if it is only a months worth of data.  Anyone not seeing the significant progress Tebow is making is in denial.   Tebow has the physical tools and the determination to make it.  He is still very rough, but he will make a legitimate run at making it in the bigs next year.

Why be a hater buddy?

I honestly don't care if he makes it or not. It's a cool story. Just being honest.  He's definitely been way better than Jordan at least, although iirc Jordan was at AA the whole time.

Most guys at Single A don't make it to the bigs the next year. If Tebow was going to make it honestly (ie the Mets don't just bump him to sell jerseys) then it wouldn't be till late 2019 or 2020. 

 

[Hov34]

Saw him on July 3rd in Ft. Myers.  Bought the tickets back in march.  Front row by the dugout (probably should have sold them)  Fans (mostly Florida gear) went bonkers anytime he did anything.  Lot of horny christian women in that crowd that night.

Guy I know was one of Jordan's teammates in Birmingham. He's been promising me stories from that season, but so far nothing yet.
