@travisakers Hell I have students who miss school every Friday to attend tournaments. That should be illegal.

Hot Take: Kids sports should never begin before 10am on a Saturday and never during church hours on a Sunday.

On this episode of the Dubuque Area Sports Podcast, Coach Maneman sits down with Hempstead Head Coach Jeff Rapp to preview the 2026 Mustangs baseball season. Coach Rapp looks back on a 22-20 season that saw Hempstead finish 4th in the Valley Division of the Mississippi Valley Conference at 15-13, and he breaks down what the Mustangs need to do to keep building this spring and summer. The conversation touches on key moments from last season, returning award winners and starters, players ready to step into bigger roles, and the arms that could help lead the pitching staff. They also talk about younger players to keep an eye on, the biggest strengths of this year’s team, areas that still need improvement, and what Hempstead baseball fans can expect from the Mustangs in 2026. If you want a closer look at one of the area’s toughest programs, this is an episode you will not want to miss.

@CoachManeman Practice more, play less

Today while my kids were playing at the park, a travel baseball tournament was going on nearby. I watched half an inning and saw: 8 walks An overthrow on a back pick from the catcher A routine fly ball dropped The pitcher acting as the cutoff man on plays at the plate Pitchers not backing up bases A third baseman holding runners on The coaches never said a word. Maybe they were frustrated. Or maybe when families are paying thousands of dollars, and organizations already have your money, silence becomes easier. #travelbaseball

@BigLeagueDigest Clean. Slide right into the base, fielder was in front of the bag.

Was this clean or dirty?
