@CraigStem Love of the game probably. Only so many opportunities to play competitive ball.

If you are a college pitcher who sits 85-87 mph and you're going to play summer ball... why?
English
@shegone03 @realbenmcdonald @LSUbaseball That pitcher, his parents and his coach should be embarrassed.
English
I never saw @realbenmcdonald or Paul Skenes yelling at opponents and saying stuff like “Fucking dumb ass, sit down” or “Fucking by you” or “Come on fuck you”
I’m pretty sure this dude couldn’t hold their jocks!
This behavior is an embarrassment to @LSUbaseball and himself!
Any coach that allows his players to act this way should be ashamed!
What happens when he gets out in the real world and has a real job?
Remember when coaches were LEADERS who commanded respect and mentored young men and prepared them for life?
None of that is happening here and it’s a shame!

@Seth_3773 This is the fault of the coaches. The bench is a cure for these childish outbursts. The coaches allow it and are not teaching them to be men.
English
What is going on? Kids get some self control. I love emotion but damn guys lock it in.
English
@shegone03 That isn’t being competitive, that is being an ass. And it is the coaches fault.
English
Me and everyone I ever played with would have loved to face a pitcher who acted like this!
KARMA gonna get you every time Conner!

@PitchingNinja It is possible to be a competitor without being a prick.

@BBGreatMoments Not having tournaments most weekends and actually earning the right to play in travel ball tournaments.

What’s a baseball tradition from your childhood that no longer exists?

Who’s the nicest MLB player you’ve ever had the chance to meet?

@JomboyMedia This is a rule at every level of play. How does he not know this?

Cubs-Rangers was delayed because Kumar Rocker came out to the mound with white sleeves and was forced to change

@shegone03 @whitesox Real brave knowing he will never have to pick up a bat and step to the plate.

THIS IS HORSESHIT! 🐎💩
Gerrit Cole drills a High A prospect for the @whitesox on purpose in a rehab start.
I don’t think people realize how shitty this is.
I remember facing Al Leiter in the Florida State league when he was making a rehab start and I was so excited to get to face a Big Leaguer.
Gerrit Cole has already made his fortune and is set for life!
This kid is trying to make his and because he hit a HR and a single off of Cole he drills him.
What if he seriously injured this kid?
I hope the White Sox organization takes note of this and does something about it!

@JeffFletcherOCR Runner got hit by the batted ball in fair territory.
English
Here's a riddle.
Bases loaded. Two outs. Batter gets a hit. No runs score.
What happened?
English
@zackplascencia9 @TalkinBaseball_ Finally someone who knows the rule. I can’t tell if it’s fair or foul but it is very close. The umpire was in perfect position and made a judgement call.
English
@TalkinBaseball_ Technically the rule isn’t if the ball is touching the line. The rule is if you draw a line from the edge of the ball straight to the ground which in my opinion makes this ball on the line and fair.
English
Home plate umpire Dan Merzel called the ball fair, giving Matt Shaw a single despite it appearing clearly foul
English
@JoePappa @EutawStReport He is too young and has too much potential to give up on him. Hitting MLB pitching is incredibly difficult. Gotta keep giving him at bats.

@notgaetti @baseball_ref @Stathead @Angels @TimSalmon15 @MikeTrout @RhettBollinger @TrentRushSports @Markgubicza @extrastats @BigLeagueDigest Mr. Anderson could flat-out play. Great hitter! The man was a problem at the plate.
English
There have been 15 individual games with at least 7 RBI in Angels history. Eleven different players did it once. Garret Anderson did it FOUR TIMES, including the only 10-RBI game in franchise history on August 21, 2007.
It was a rare 1.2 IP, 7 ER day for HOF'er Mike Mussina.
Not Gaetti@notgaetti
Oh my goodness, terrible news RIP Garret Anderson, age 53 GA was one of the best players to wear an Angels uniform. He had a gorgeous swing and was a dangerous hitter in those Anaheim lineups. He batted .296 across 15 years with the Angels and won a World Series there. RIP 🙏
English
Drop whatever you’re doing, folks
In case you’d forgotten what a gorgeous swing Garret Anderson had, here’s a great clip of the reigning World Series champion toppling peak Albert Pujols in the 2003 Home Run Derby finals
Rest in peace to an Angels icon

@nut_history Speed alone isn’t the hardest part of hitting. The hard part is when pitchers can throw hard, have command of multiple pitches, can locate and change speeds. Change ups that look just like the fastball are insanely hard to hit.
English
Out of hundred of 95MPH fastballs how many do you think you could hit?
Probably zero for me.

@notgaetti Hard to grow the game when you don’t let fans watch their own team.

How on EARTH are there still blackouts on the MLB app in the year 2026? Somebody fix it
English
@notgaetti There was zero hype with Piazza. Wasn’t he basically drafted as a favor to Lasorda in the final round of the draft. He is the greatest offensive catcher in MLB history and is in the HOF.
English
People will say literally anything on the internet, jfc
Andrew Anderson@uscfan981
Name a MLB player that never lived up to the hype. I’ll start, Mike Piazza.

@MLB Oracle Park. Only because I have seen a ton in games at Camden Yards. Camden Yards is amazing!!! Very fortunate to have a ballpark like that for my home team.

Behind the four astronauts of Artemis II are hundreds of people tracking their every move: monitoring spacecraft systems, evaluating crew safety, and staying in constant communication. Let’s hear it for the team in Mission Control responsible for getting the astronauts around the Moon and safely home.
