@chadej75 @Ostate_Daily @TTU_Baseball Chad might want to get those glasses check. He slides in and immediately put foot 12 in the air until his foot crosses the plate. Baseball players don’t slide like that. If they did their ass would be first thing to touch the base.

@Ostate_Daily @TTU_Baseball I'm an OSU fan/parent, but I didn't see that as dirty. His cleats were down. Definitely aggressive and you could argue maybe a little too aggressive, but I don't see dirty in there.

Message to Matt Quintanar, the player who slid into Aidan Meola & Texas Tech baseball (@TTU_Baseball) as a program. Let me preface this post with some evidence of the "respect" I have had for the Texas Tech baseball program. That program has always had a "West Texas" wild & craziness/EDGE, that, TBH, I've been jealous of at times. Don't believe those words, see for yourself where at least this 1 person is coming from. I've had the opportunity to interview multiple former Red Raiders who are still playing/pitching professional baseball. Clayton Beeter youtu.be/q1qbDnz_5U0 Ryan Sublette youtu.be/wyGmO06JWYw Also, Kyle Robinson is still one of my favorite pitchers I've EVER watched pitch at O'Brate, and I've communicated with him, even since he's been a pro, when he was playing in Tulsa last June with Midland at the AA level. And, Matt Gardner, the former Texas Tech pitching coach, pitched at OSU, and Geoff Haxton, your PxP, grew up in Stillwater, and we are personal friends. So, I respect Tech and enjoy the rivalry. NOW, let's get into the "Nuts & Bolts." There's a difference between playing with an edge and being "dirty". There's a right way to play, and hard slides are a part of it, but that slide was insanely inappropriate, and a VERY bad look all around for an otherwise VERY good player. I honestly didn't have an issue with the chirping, because that, in my view, went two-sided, but the slide was "Busch League". And if you do that in pro ball, completely unprovoked, at least by the player you slid into, you'll only do it once. I'm not telling you anything you don't know because your brother was a pro baseball player, so I'm not reinventing the wheel with that comment. And, YOU played at Blinn, and I KNOW they didn't teach you that, and YOU will, almost assuredly, be a Pro after your time at Tech. I'm about 100% confident in that! That is, unless you don't get THAT act cleaned up. And, maybe the most disappointing part of the whole thing is that the player you slid into is an ELITE human being who has fought through MORE injuries than any College baseball player possibly EVER. And then, you have the piece of it where you actually cost your team, one of the best hitting teams in America, the chance to keep playing and come back to win the game. And, finally, as ANGRY as that play left OSU fans, YOUR OWN teammates, fans & coaches, should have come away from that infinite times more angry than any of us. That's because WE WON THE GAME, and YOU didn't. And, I'll promise you, you WEREN'T going to whip Aidan Meola & Hudson Barrett's ass, hate to break that news to you. And, to read your lips as you walked off the field, yes, that was BS, BS on YOUR part! Hope that sinks in! #gopokes #okstate

Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America. People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate. A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him. Enough is enough.  It is time for ABC to take a stand.  How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.

The owner of the Minocqua Brewing Company in WI who mourned the shooter missing is running as a Democrat for State Assmebly. He also just pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct charges for harassing a local business owner Voters, beware! Don’t let this maniac anywhere near office

This brewery in Wisconsin is gushing over the assassination attempt. These people want us dead.

SEC Bylaw 10.5 – This clearly violated it on at least two provisions ▪ Coaches shall refrain from personal conduct that may incite spectators ▪ All institutional staff shall conduct themselves with honesty/good sportsmanship and behavior shall reflect honor/dignity @GregSankey

@mushycrouton Lol what a little snowflake. Hid my massive ratio

@OswaldPer4mance 22 years that’s awesome. Who and what sport do you coach?

@8jds I've been coaching for 22 years.

Performative Bullshit

@OswaldPer4mance In the post he literally said to feel just a “small” part of what Jesus felt. Have you ever coached young men before? You have a lot of exercise degrees but sounds like you lack coaching knowledge.

Well mental toughness is old school nonsense, we've seen kids die for the sake of "mental toughness". Teach the skill, or train them. But mental toughness is BS so glad we agree. But this isn't about Jesus, because 800m around a track with 100lbs on the back isn't anything Jesus did. So as I said. It's performative.

@OswaldPer4mance I could tell you this was about creating mental toughness or some bs but it’s not. It’s bigger than that it’s about their faith. It’s about a man who came to earth to die for the sins of all of humanity. Nothing to do with sports performance. It’s about Jesus.

@8jds Why do you assume I'm mad? It's a stupid pointless workout/exercise. That does nothing to improve performance, it adds fatigue. No, without ad hominems prove how this is anything beyond performative, eye wash that appeals to people who have no idea about sports performance..

@OswaldPer4mance Again why are you so mad?

@8jds As I said, it's performative.

@OswaldPer4mance What he did was not for their physical performance. Where do you “coach”.

@8jds Because coaches do performative bullshit that serves no one.
