Young pitchers: don’t do this.

@Hayden_Collins8 Really really great post, man. Awesome perspective.

Yesterday I wrapped up my college baseball career as well as my playing career. I was reflecting on some things that I wish I knew coming into college or somethings that I would tell younger players interested in playing college baseball. So here they are in no particular order⬇️

Good for this kid, happy for him.

This makes me sick to my stomach!!! It doesn’t matter how hard your 8 year old throws folks! They should be having fun, learning the game and making friends! THAT’S IT! Shame on you @ArmCarecom 👎🏻 #shegone @notgaetti @BobFile @twuench @billdubs @iamrags @artofhitting @hittingguru7 @slider_sinker @SliderDom @low_and_outside @TheRealJHair @DMEASrecruiting @VandyonTigers @mikepiazza31 @SalMarinello @RVGDag @AMBS_Kernan

This is outstanding.

A local team has a spot in their rotation…

The NBA has a serious flopping problem. It’s a Duke and Wisconsin flop party on steroids.

@EFN6969 @Tim_Goergen The part about ‘live TV in front of millions…’ You’re weaponizing this as if it’s not the reason that he makes almost $5,000/day just to show up There is trade off and every player at that level understands that concept and would make the concession every day of the week

You’ve been put in a position in a major league game, so yes it’s your responsibility to have a technical understanding of this play. Extend up, not out & it’s actually a routine play, proven by the fact it hit his glove And then after… it’s leadership to look at your teammate dead in the face & say what he said. He didn’t take the coward way and throw bad body language or talk to another teammate. He waited until the first possible moment he was face to face and he said exactly what should have been said… ‘I work my ass off for this and so should you.’ He didn’t say it exactly like that, but that’s what he said and the point was spot on and received based upon reaction Folks who are critical of this and calling Chapman a bad teammate have never had their livelihood depend on technical baseball training that plays itself out in a game setting

Matt Chapman since he told Casey Schmitt to catch the fkn ball: 0-HR/.608-OPS Casey Schmitt since he was told to catch the fkn ball: 6-HR/.941-OPS Maybe Casey should tell Matt to hit the fkn ball, am I right?

@EmilyCWaldon This made my day. So awesome, Emily. Keep smiling.

Today, I've had a phrase going over and over in my head. "God doesn't miss a detail." After receiving my PET scan results yesterday, I had my routine treatment today, which included a check-in with my oncologist. When she walked in, she pulled up the PET imaging and said, "I want to explain something to you. I need you to understand how significant this is." She showed me the findings from my original scan and compared them to the results from yesterday. She goes, "This isn't normal. It's exceptional, really. We just don't see this type of response when you're as early into your treatment. It's exceptional. Like, we don't see this." On the imaging, everything is significantly smaller. Two spots are gone, and everything that is still visible is shrinking and decreasing in activity. She looked at me with a grin and said, "Emily, you're trending towards no evidence of disease (or N.E.D, which is metastatic's version of remission)." So, a medication I was told two months ago wasn't even worth trying by a different oncologist is now exceeding normal expectations with a "truly exceptional response." God is ABLE.

Uhhhh, sure.

Horse (bleep) from Framber Valdez. Give up 10 runs, and back-to-back moon shots, and take it out on Trevor Story. Cool story.

@TonyPaul1984 That’s kinda his thing, right?

Parents: You have a lifetime to work. But your kids are only young once. Leave work early. Go to that game or performance. You won't regret it.

@EmilyCWaldon Love it. LFG!

PET scan update: Two spots completely gone and all other visible disease is either shrinking or decreasing in intensity. GOD. DID. THAT. Let’s GO!!!!

@EmilyCWaldon Positive thoughts coming your way. You’re tough as nails.

First PET scan since starting treatment is on deck for tomorrow morning at 6:30am. Needing all the prayers for a great report and that we hear the meds are doing their job. Thank you guys!

@davisnick272 I wouldn’t be surprised if Boras recommends otherwise.

@Tim_Goergen I think he has to come back. Speeds up recovery if he can throw innings vs shutting it down and having to ramp up. Also would leave lingering doubt it wasn’t more serious

It’ll be interesting to see whether the impending dollar signs ultimately end his season without a return.

So, lemme get this straight. We got kids jumping 4 places in 4 years with no transfer rules and Detroit Mercy gets hit with a postseason ban for APR??? C'mon, what in the HELL are we doing. You can't enforce the Academic Progress Report right now with the chaos that's allowed.

If I were in charge at Detroit Mercy, I’d get every lawyer I could find (half of them are on this app) to sue the stuffing out of the NCAA for this. You can’t have an open-season transfer portal and APR. Especially not at the mid-major level.
