This. Can’t hate on his skill level - the guy can flat out play. But he makes it easy to dislike him when he does some garbage stuff on the floor.

I see my dad and my son in this picture. Thanks, Trey!

An absolute dude.

I read this and said “oh no” out loud. I never met Wes, only interacted with him online. Tweeted at him that I almost spoke once, and I think he responded and said I should have. What a horrible tragedy. Praying for his family and friends. May God provide them comfort and peace.

Big time stud here. Baseball season gets started today. He will dress with varsity this season. Doesn’t matter - proud of him always.

Great idea. Give the money to @AuburnAUTLIVE or some other worthy charity. But love the idea.

It’s National Girls and Women in Sports Day!! Just a snippet of some of the incredible women we have in our department!! @TOCSports1 @HsvSports @MCSSAthletics @CityHsv @madisonschools #womeninsports #NGWSD2026

This is hilarious, and I fully support it.

Proud of him. Always.

I can hear the drums, Fernando!

What a game. My goodness. Happy for Beck. Hated it for Ole Miss. Both great stories.

Former @MLB player John Vander Wal nailed it on his @facebook post! #shegone The game is in an awful state. I scouted professionally for two organizations over a ten-year period, and a lot of what we’re seeing today is being misunderstood or flat-out misrepresented. First, velocity. Pitchers are not throwing significantly harder across the board. The perceived jump in velocity is primarily the result of technology and measurement changes — specifically where the device picks the baseball up out of the hand. As radar and tracking systems moved closer and closer to release, the readings increased. The arm didn’t change — the measurement did. Now hitting. We’ve reached a point where “gurus” who never played the game at a high level are applying golf swing principles to baseball, largely because golf embraced analytics to identify the most efficient swing paths. The problem is that a baseball bat is not a golf club. In golf, you dump the club to get it on plane. In baseball, you cannot lose the barrel on the back side and still stay on plane consistently. Yet the tech community began preaching backside barrel dump as the answer. Front offices filled with non-baseball “propeller head” GMs bought into the presentations, and this philosophy was pushed aggressively through the minor leagues. I saw this coming as early as 2014. The result? Hitters now dump the barrel in an attempt to get on plane, but they: • Struggle to stay inside the baseball • Lose adjustability • Operate with slower effective bat speed On the pitching side, it’s no better. Pitchers are taught max effort on every pitch. Starters rarely exceed 90 pitches or five innings, work almost exclusively to either arm side or glove side, and live in deep counts. Relievers are almost universally max effort, arm-side only. The consequence is obvious: • Poor command • Inconsistent control • Little ability to sequence or adjust Despite all the technology, pitching command and overall feel are as bad as I’ve ever seen at the big-league level. More data didn’t make the game smarter. It just made it louder — and in many cases, worse. facebook.com/share/p/15V3ET… @notgaetti @BobFile @twuench @billdubs @iamrags @SliderDominate @slider_sinker @CRAIG_LAPINER @hittingguru7 @BLocsports @TheRealJHair @WillClark22 @DMEASrecruiting @GDBJr5 @mikepiazza31 @JLucroy20

Trinidad Chambliss was a 0 star and Fernando Mendoza was a 2 star coming out of high school. Both had to beg their way into college football. Both had and have special makeup and incredible work ethic. The coaches that knew them the best growing up, were probably telling college coaches they were special but the college coaches were reliant on the rankings to formulate their opinions.

Dumbest ref ending to a game ever.

“I’ll make it.”

My guy. One of the best high school athletes I’ve ever seen. And a great dude. Proud of the man he’s grown up to be.

@HeyHeyItsConrad @JRsBBQ @JrGrilling What’s the one most influential booking decision in the business in his 50+ years? What’s the one booking decision he would change in that same time?

50+ years in the business and you can ask him one thing. What would it be? #AskJR

HEY EVERYBODY, PAT ADAMS IS IN THE BUILDING

My 12 year old son shed some tears at the end of @JohnCena’s last match. I hope we all find something that moves us emotionally. And pro wrestling is the best. Go kick rocks if you disagree. Thank you, John Cena.
