@SoxOn35th They traded for Castillo because he eats innings. And then they pull him after 4. Absolute malpractice by Venable

Pretty cool: Omaha World-Herald preps reporter Mike Patterson threw first pitch ahead of the Class A baseball state championship game ⚾️

Mike is retiring this summer after 38 years on the forefront of #nebpreps coverage

Amazing career, amazing person! Congrats, @MPattersonOWH

This …

[Andy Strickland @andystrickland]

If Gavin McKenna would’ve stayed in junior and played in the #WHL this season, he would’ve had 140 points and the hype surrounding him would have been comparable to Connor Bedard. He had 51 pts in 35 games as a 17/18 year old playing in a way more competitive league. I don’t think people understand how good #NCAA hockey is.

@CJNitkowski I almost gave up hope. But then a guy like Anthony Rizzo comes along. You CAN hit for power and cut down with 2 strikes.

[Dave Elsesser @DaveElsesser]

@CJNitkowski @CJNitkowski I fear it is largely, largely dead. But I was about 30 yards away from this AB last night. This was so awesome and so old-school refreshing. What an AB.

@ChristopherHine @cpmike88 Gilloon and I wondering. Is there a worse song than “Livin On a Prayer?”

[Dave Elsesser @DaveElsesser]

Mashburn, Pearl, and Rose in the studio? Good thing there’s hockey on. #eventhefab5doesntwannabeseenwithpearl

@JeffreyParson All I know is that I’d like to be Ben McCollum’s agent

[Dave Elsesser @DaveElsesser]

I’ve been asleep at the wheel. I didn’t think about the possibility of Illinois and Iowa playing in a regional final. If it happens, they may need to call in the National Guard. That is a whole different level of hatred.

[Dave Elsesser @DaveElsesser]

@JeffreyParson There definitely is plenty of Nebraska hate in that direction. But it’s probably more a product of NU losing so many long time Big Eight/Big 12 rivals

[Dave Elsesser @DaveElsesser]

@JeffreyParson I’m guessing this might be in jest? Iowa’s biggest rivals in football are the Clones and Gophers. In hoops it’s the Clones and Illini. No question the Huskers hate Iowa, but Iowa has a century of history with some other folks.

[CreighTakes @CreighTakes]

I will never forget this talk that Mac gave after the heartbreaking loss to San Diego State in the Elite 8😢

[Dave Elsesser @DaveElsesser]

@Sportsnet Maybe don’t start McLean Stephenson and they’re not in this spot

[Dave Elsesser @DaveElsesser]

@Sportsnet Why don’t they just put Pettitte in while they’re at it

[Dave Elsesser @DaveElsesser]

Maybe check with the player before making a trade, I don’t know ?

[Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC]

Officially, Colton Parayko has declined to waive his no-trade clause to Buffalo -- as is his contractual right.

We will see where we go from here

[Dave Elsesser @DaveElsesser]

@Ferrario101ESPN In the past couple years it’s become apparent that the Blues kept the wrong Armstrong

[Dave Elsesser @DaveElsesser]

@JRFegan Will Tony Fossas still be pitching?

[Dave Elsesser @DaveElsesser]

Yes, but is it good insight?

[Bruce Levine @MLBBruceLevine]

Sox GM Chris Getz joking about how he messed up on describing Acuna as a switch hitter,is good incite into how egoless he is in his position.That is one reason why the people he hired and work around love the day to day grind with him.
