Had been saying it for two seasons that whoever got @SchappertBraden was getting a 💎 in the rough. A coach's dream as a player & I cannot be more ecstatic to see him succeeding at the collegiate level. Never a doubt. #SpartanPride#AlwaysASpartan

One of the best I've ever gotten to coach & was a captain for a reason. He is always looking for ways to improve & is a true student of the game. Anyone in need of an athlete with major pop, look no further! #uncommited#SpartanPride#WeOverMe
No reason to keep Kahnle down when Weissert has been an unmitigated disaster in the pen for basically the entirety of the season. Easy & logical switch. #RedSox#Compete
Tommy Kahnle "100 percent" plans to opt out of his deal if the Red Sox do not add him to their roster by Monday and the Red Sox are "well-aware" of his 1.40 ERA at Triple-A, according to Chad Tracy.

In the stands, a H.S. parent complains to anyone who will listen that his kid isn't playing much.
Another parent: "Team is 15-2, Top 5 in the state, winning the league."
Response: "I don't care about that."
And there you have it.
For some parents, it's never about the team.
Congrats to @SchappertBraden on yet another award after a fantastic freshman season. Truly one of the best I've ever had the honor to coach & one of the few players left who loves the grind. Ramapo got a 💎!#AllRegion#GRIT#AwardSeason#SpartanPride
If you want to play varsity H.S. baseball as an underclassman, you better be facing real talent in the offseason.
Quality arms. Good teams. Top competition.
If you’re not challenging yourself against high-level baseball, you won’t be ready for most top varsity programs. Period…
@RedSox maybe it's time we change the hitting coach (Fatse) after we haven't been able to hit for 2+ years... If you won't spend on players, at least give us a competent coaching staff. #MLB#Embarrassing
This just highlights a bigger epidemic in all levels of baseball nowadays where fewer and fewer players have baseball IQ & understanding of the game. Maybe due to an over emphasis on playing games versus practice, maybe a lack of guys watching baseball..
