John Boxley | High N Tight

What's the craziest fight in baseball history? Put together a breakdown of 7 of the nastiest fights baseball has ever seen. Real stories, not the highlight clip version. Free download here 👉 subscribe.box-seats.com/hnt Which one am i missing?

Cody Bellinger got asked to play catch by a kid and immediately got robbed. Honestly? Veteran move by the kid.

MLB labor talks are underway. Which means baseball has officially entered the “everyone smiling before the food fight” phase.

103 mph in the seventh inning used to sound impossible. Jacob Misiorowski is out here treating it like cardio.

The White Sox being .500 honestly feels like finding out Blockbuster still has one store open somewhere…

@mike_petriello The scary part isn’t the velocity. It’s how normal he makes it look.

Jacob Misiorowski has thrown 39% of his fastballs (4sm/sinker) at 100 MPH+ in his career. MLB SP avg since 2008: 0.1% Next-highest non-opener SP rate: H. Greene, 17%, B. Chandler 14%. No one else over 10. Pretty likely we're seeing the hardest-throwing SP ever, right now.

@CoachBeede Travel ball has convinced too many parents that D3 is failure instead of opportunity

I have watched too many families spend three years and $50,000 chasing a Division I dream that was never realistic. Not because the athlete wasn't a baseball player. He was. Because nobody around him was honest enough to say: "Your son is a great D3 player. That is a wonderful thing to be." D3 baseball is real baseball. Real coaches. Actual competition. Real degrees that open real doors. The lie is not that your son isn't D1. The lie is that D1 is the only finish line worth running toward.

@TalkinYanks Honestly? Respect the hustle. Cody got absolutely fleeced.

Kid asks Cody Bellinger to play catch but then he just keeps the ball when Cody throws it to him

@NorCalU1 Nothing uglier than adults turning youth baseball into unresolved therapy sessions.

WE NEED TO CLEAN UP AMATEUR BASEBALL. Coaches all over the country, challenging each other. Players yelling and calling other coaches pussies! Constant chirping in dugouts, especially high school. This absolutely has to stop. We don’t need some kind of “nice Coach certification“ or anything like that. The people that are out in front need to stand up for what’s right and bring back civility and responsibility. It’s literally an epidemic. What can we do to fix this?

@TigersJUK Teams will watch a guy give up five runs in three innings and still say, “Yeah, but he knows how to pitch.”

It’s insane to me that pitchers like this will keep getting deals year after year. There’s got to be 100 starters in the minors that wouldn’t put up a 7+ ERA if you just rolled them out there.

@Alden_Gonzalez Opening talks” in baseball is just the appetizer before billionaires and millionaires start throwing chairs.

Labor talks have begun, and we tackled the most pertinent questions on the biggest players, why a cap is desired, what the union will prioritize, and how television rights and an international draft will factor in. ... espn.com/mlb/story/_/id…

@BNightengale The White Sox spent so long underwater that .500 looks like a parade route.

The Chicago White Sox win their 4th consecutive game, and the 15th time in last 23 games. They now are .500 (21-21). The last time they didn't have a losing record this late in a season was back in 2022. If the season ended today, the White Sox would be in the playoffs. Really.

@TheAthleticMLB Baseball: “Character matters.” Also baseball: “Can he still hit?”

Yasiel Puig faces prison time when he is sentenced on May 26 — but the Canadian Baseball League let him play anyway. Toronto Maple Leafs fans are torn on the acquisition: Some are happy to see a former MLB player on their local team, while others are disappointed due to his off-field behavior. nytimes.com/athletic/72740…

@TBTimes_Rays The Rays stadium saga has had more plot twists than a Netflix crime series.

Insurance magnate John Morgan says #Rays are headed to Orlando if Tampa stadium deal fails. Also, that building a new stadium in Tampa would be "a mistake." tampabay.com/sports/rays/20…

@TalkinYanks Welcome back, Anthony. That didn’t take long.

Anthony Volpe error in his first game back

@JeffPassan 103 mph in the seventh inning is just disrespectful behavior.

Another seven scoreless innings for Jacob Misiorowski, who retired the final 14 he faced. He finished with fastballs at 102, 102 and 103 to punch out Nick Castellanos. There have been pitchers who throw this hard. None has carried velocity like this late into games. Incredible.

@UmpireAuditor Brett Baty: “I didn’t challenge that.” Junior Valentine: “I know. I did.”

Umpire Junior Valentine wasted a Mets challenge by initiating a review that batter Brett Baty never asked for. Valentine has missed 76 calls this season and had 15 overturned by ABS challenge.

Somewhere right now, an MLB GM is explaining a last-place team with a PowerPoint presentation.

The best thing about baseball? Something weird happens literally every day.

Baseball remains the only sport where superstition is treated like advanced science.
