The cold truth is half of these players are in the portal because they had exit interviews over the past week and were told they wouldn't have a spot next year.

Most of these kids will never play again because at some point every one of us get involuntarily retired from sports.

This is absolutely nuts

Baseball Transfer Portal Day 1 Recap

1,400 players enter including almost 700 pitchers

That’s a whole conference of players. A lot of these kids will never play again.

@Tomas90216377 I will go to grave remembering falling into darkness. Bouncing off ladder and concrete wall. Never hit bottom. Broke ladder bolts grabbing it on way down. Easily could've died. It was full of water and I couldn't get out.

Hand to Lord, this happened to me when I was a teenager. Tore my biceps, messed up my wrist, had a concussion and had to get shots similar to rabies shots in my intestines because they thought I fell in sewer water (it was rain water).

Got an apology from the city.

@Bear_up1 Gum and Syverson entered before the season started. Bouthillette was the bullpen catcher but got hurt.

McNiel and Dunn are in now and there will be more after exit interviews.

@JGJr9 Man, when I tell you I disappeared like Wile E. Coyote. My friends I was walking with were all shook. I had just parked and we were walking into Hardee's. I disappeared into the hole. When I got out I left them there and drove to the hospital.

And they're doing everything in their power to end that for mid-majors.

[Sean Martin @PGATOURSMartin]

College baseball feels like the last of the big NCAA sports where mid-majors have a chance to make some noise.

And that is why its stock is skyrocketing.

[Lance Roffers @HurricaneVision]

Love the sentiment.

I've got news for you, my man, it's gonna be an ugly few years. Straight from the GM's mouth.

🎥 De'Von Achane on a potential rebuild this season: "Everybody keeps saying about this rebuild year, I ain't got time for that... I'm not trying to hear no, 'we're rebuilding for two years', I ain't trying to do it. Most definitely I want to win the division." (@thesetshow_) #PhinsUp

I'm a big golf fan. I stink at the game, never broken 80, usually happy with breaking 90.

The game is supposed to be fun. Move it off rocks. Move it out of a divot.

Unless you're playing for real money, why would you care if your playing partner moves it out of a divot?

[Thwack Nicklaus @thwacknicklaus]

I remain genuinely stunned by the number of golfers who think you should get relief from a fairway divot.

The ball ended up in a bad spot. That is, quite literally, golf!

If your drive hit a sprinkler on the fly and rolled an extra 50 yards, would you walk it back??

[Lance Roffers @HurricaneVision]

I think I speak for the vast majority of workers when I say the activity that will make us feel more valued is paying us more money, not a silly outing that most likely just makes the day more stressful.

[Jacob Rudner @JacobRudner]

No surprise here. This lines Aidan King up for a winner’s bracket or stunning elimination game on Saturday.

Rider has made a good bit of contact this year and puts pressure on defenses. Not a lot of swing and miss against its schedule to date.
