@RobertTiffin Glad someone could explain why I (along with everyone else) was laid off on Monday. Most insightful thing I’ve read, appreciate the insight (no sarcasm at all, we were told nothing in the final weeks).
"I'm not happy at all."
@FootballDesoto head coach Claude Mathis is not satisfied with a 48-point first half and commanding halftime lead in the 6A-DII championship game.
Instant classic halftime interview.

"In the blink of an eye you're at 1000"
The Captain talks to @BrienRea about this massive milestone. He says he doesn't feel old at all and his two line mates keep him feeling good!

@xanbarksdale if they are timed games and they aren't playing more than 2-3 innings, then no problem. Over the course of 2 days they may catch the equivalent of 1.5 games? Maybe 2 at the most. So in general, no problem with it...but there are always exceptions

@cyrallison1 Seriously...I try to find the silver lining of what coaches say and stay positive with all my kids. But this ignorant shit. I can’t get behind that
table. Clearly doesn't understand the value she brings to the battery and doesn't understand the position at all. It's more than just having a strong arm. Way more. He's going to drive her away, and she will make him regret it.

KNOWS how little of her job as a catcher is picking girls off/catching girls stealing. BTW, this is the same person who told her 3 weeks ago that she needs to take her mask of EVERY PLAY to "communicate better". I just can't. Way to ignore the rest of the skills she brings to the
