The umps fighting back vs the robots simply by not granting a challenge is something MLB shoulda seen coming lol, these fucking umps are unbelievable

This is the second time today HP umpire Carlos Torres has denied an ABS challenge. Athletics catcher Shea Langeliers tapped his mask after Orioles' Taylor Ward walked in the 1st, but there was no review granted.

If you called an ABS zone in mid-major college baseball and shot a perfect score, the majority of your games would end with both head coaches being ejected.

I am not a fan of bringing ABS to college baseball. College pitchers as a whole are not skilled enough to continue velo dev while throwing Ks, and now introduce tighter strike zone? 5+ BB a game, + juiced bats & balls = 4 hr shootouts Look at MLB spike with first year of ABS

The SEC is bringing the ABS to Hoover as an experiment. I can't believe SEC umpires agreed to this... and zero way for this to be properly implemented across D1 baseball.

It’s a Tuesday in late April 2029.
A Horizon League vs OVC midweek is approaching 13 hours of gameplay after 221 correctly overturned ABS challenges.
The umpires try to quit and leave the field in protest, but the ABS system keeps shooting lasers at them to stay
Kendall Rogers@KendallRogers
SCOOP: The @NCAA Baseball Rules Committee has approved the @SEC's proposal to use experimental ABS (Automated Ball-Strike) Challenges in the upcoming conference tournament, I'm told. Coaches will have (3) specific ABS challenges per game in Hoover.

Dragons baseball splits a doubleheader at home against East Central, rallying from deficits of 4-0 and 7-4 to win the nightcap on Ethan Nunnally's walk-off bases-loaded single.
Dragons (10-7) host Warren Central Monday.

As an AD, nothing bothers me more than seeing a kid post highlights within an hour after a loss. I get it, that is the world now, but nothing screams me over team louder. Winning matters. So does how you handle losing.

This is a thorough video that nevertheless somehow lands on exactly the wrong conclusion.

FAIR or FOUL ball? The MLB rulebook answers…

I’m gonna sound like an old head. But I really think we saw the peak of college sports 2000-2020. It’s been all downhill since, and it ain’t coming back.
NIL
Portal
Realignment
Playoff expansion.
8th year players
None of which has improved the game or fan experience
Matt Norlander@MattNorlander
The men's + women's NCAA Tournaments are expected to formally pass approval for expansion to 76 teams in May, sources told CBS Sports. The move to 76 would mean 52 teams would auto-slot into the main bracket and 12 games for 24 teams Tues/Wed for a rebuilt opening round. Story TK

Now we just wait to see if MLB releases a statement that they’ve changed their rule book on what constatitues a fair or foul ball, or whether we can confirm that Ben Verlander is a liar.
Ben Verlander@BenVerlander
🚨OFFICIAL RULING FROM MLB🚨 I reached out to MLB since there is a lot of confusion regarding this play: “In our Umpire Manual, here is the definition of a fair ball: FAIR BALL Definitions of Terms: When in contact with the ground, a ball must be in contact with fair territory and not merely over fair territory in order to be adjudged to be fair.” MLB acknowledged an error was made.

"It’s a gritty team, man. A bunch of us are JUCO transfers, a bunch of us come from a place where you don’t get a lot of resources." - Brady Ballinger on the team's never quit attitude and winning the series over Kansas State. More: on3.com/sites/jayhawk-…

Also increases the likelihood of a borderline pitch being called a strike.
Taylor Hasty@JTaylorHasty
Hot take: the 3-0 fake bunt is worthless garbage.

@JayBilas It’s over, Jay. You got what you wanted, and it’s an unmitigated disaster.

And the NCAA is telling Congress and all of us that player compensation is “unsustainable.” Please.

Alabama has reached a new seven-year contract with football coach Kalen DeBoer that will pay him $12.5 million per season, the university announced Wednesday. spr.ly/6011BBD2EN

@johnvarlas It was a fun fact that most people wouldn’t know. Not debating the premise.

@ChrisSahm That was 17 years ago though Chris. They’re not going to play regular-season games here. The Titans played a whole season here. Things are different.
English
Seeing some of this today: “I’m fine if the Grizzlies play some games in Nashville if we can get a Titans game in Memphis.” The Titans are not going to play in Memphis. Neither are the Predators. Neither is Nashville SC. If there’s any sports traffic down I-40, it’ll be one way.

Memphis was one of the most dangerous cities in America. It’s now becoming a model for how to fight crime when you have a terrible DA.
From the peak:
- Murders down 47%
- Carjackings down 48%
- Robberies down 51%.
- Vehicle theft down 80%.
What changed:
1. State troopers took over interstate patrol, freeing up local officers.
2. Police launched focused initiatives targeting fugitives, violent repeat offenders, and gang members.
3. National Guard, federal agents, and US Marshals came in and made 9,000+ arrests, including 400+ gang members. Plus 629 illegal firearms seized, 150 missing children located.
4. Technology filled the gaps. Police deployed license plate readers citywide, expanded drone use, and opened a downtown command center. A cancer center went from a crime attempt every other week to none.
Overall crime is now down more than 43% compared to the same period last year
Memphis has a long way to go and remains a dangerous city. Its DA is still dismissing 3 out of every 4 felony cases. In fact, the state legislature just passed a bill to audit and potentially remove him.
But the city is showing that a rogue DA doesn't have to be a death sentence for public safety. Flood the streets with law enforcement, target repeat offenders, and make arrests faster than he can dismiss them.

The first round of the NHL Playoffs might be the most underrated stretch on the entire sports calendar. Multiple games every day/night, all of them elimination stakes intensity from game one. Name a better two weeks in sports. I'm not sure you can.
