“Overrated”

[OptaSTATS @OptaSTATS]

There have been over 5 million total 18-game spans by players in MLB's modern era.

In none of them did a player have as many hits, doubles, triples, homers & steals as the @Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong over his last 18 games:

34 hits
5 doubles
2 triples
9 home runs
6 stolen bases

The greatest single season team of all time. Period.

[OLDSKOOLBBALL @oldskoolbballx]

On this day in 1996, Michael Jordan won his fourth NBA championship on Father’s Day.

The live broadcast cut to the locker room after MJ was already on the floor. The cameras stayed on him for 37 seconds as he cried, before the cameraman was eventually escorted out.

@haddychi Jon Lester. For October 2016.

@EVR551 One of my favorite things is once the season is over and reading about all the injuries that guys played through. They just have different DNA.

[Derek Deprey @derekdeprey]

Most athletes obsess over outcomes. Points. Offers. Minutes. Rankings. Starting spots. Winning. But the best (and happiest!) players seem to be obsessed with trajectory. Are you improving? Are you building habits? Are you stacking disciplined days? ARE YOU MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION? The pain of extra shots, conditioning, film study, hard coaching, and discipline weighs ounces. The pain of looking back wishing you would’ve gone all in weighs tons. Most players overestimate what happens in one workout… and underestimate what happens in 3 years of consistency. Don’t obsess over the scoreboard every day. Obsess over the direction!

@pat_timlin @WISN12News They enjoy playing the “underdog” card so when they lose they can play the “low payroll” card. They draft, scout and develop better than any team in the league, and everyone knows it. This mentality is just annoying.

[Derek Sapp @DSapp300]

@joelthemingway Get Maton off this team. I don’t care about his contract.

[Derek Sapp @DSapp300]

@joelthemingway He is a national treasure. No one better.

[Derek Sapp @DSapp300]

@ctrent It’s because we actually have fans attend our games, and they are paying attention to the game. I hope you enjoyed the ninth inning last night.

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

That jersey was worn before you.
It’ll be worn after you.

Your only job?

Make the next person proud to put it on.

[Lovable Reunion @LovableReunion]

Kyle Schwarber made this video for Jon Lester during his last season in Chicago.

This team 🤣🍿

[Derek Sapp @DSapp300]

@EVR551 But he only caught it, he didn’t throw a runner out on the play too.

[Derek Sapp @DSapp300]

@joelthemingway Ron Darling is still living in 1986.

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

Serve first. Win later.

Most people want it the other way around.

“Your job is not to be here for yourself. It is to be here for everybody else.”

- Ben McCollum GOLD 🥇

[Derek Sapp @DSapp300]

@wischlist They’re definitely calling him. Iowa is going to have to pony up to keep him.

[Derek Sapp @DSapp300]

@tylerLtomlinson Iowa state, Illinois and Nebraska were in rough shape when these guys took over, and they’ve done it with coaching and culture more than NIL. They should not be at the bottom of the list. McCollum will not be at the bottom for long.

[Derek Sapp @DSapp300]

This is the absolute worst list in the history of lists. I can’t even put into words how bad this is.

[College Basketball Review @CbbReview]

Is this the best group of coaches we’ve EVER had in the Sweet 16? Sheesh! @matmlodzinski had a tougu time ranking them.

[Derek Sapp @DSapp300]

Reading this makes me want to run through a brick wall. So glad this guy is on my team.

[Alex Bregman @ABREG_1]

Chicago!!!!! I can’t wait to play for you. Let’s go! @PlayersTribune https://t.co/OKoN8ovnP8

[Ohio Valley Conference @OVCSports]

Caleb Williams says Ben Johnson was pretty upset at first about his wild TD against the Rams.

Caleb then broke down his thought process during the play.

Even Maxx Crosby couldn’t believe it.
