The great, Bill Marbet!!!!! The absolute best!!!

[Larry Owens @Low5109]

Hmm. You mean you don’t have to scream at the hitter and posture when you do what you’re supposed to do (get the hitter out)?

[Baseball Bros @BaseballBros]

People forget Todd Helton was a DOG on the mound 😮‍💨

Still holds the NCAA single-season scoreless innings record.

Gamecocks walk it off. CUSA semifinals are set:

JaxState vs MoState/DBU loser
Liberty vs MoState/DBU winner

If DBU wins, CUSA becomes a 4-bid league and they extend their regional streak to 12. Bangggg

I have talked to D1 coaches from almost every conference, P4 and Mid Major, with records ranging from single digit wins to 40 wins.. If you are a pitcher hitting the portal the FIRST question I get is “Does he throw strikes?”.. don’t hit the portal after a 20 inning 30 walk season just because you throw 95.

[Curt Schilling @gehrig38]

I keep saying it. Pitching is so broken it's breathtaking. Just take a peek at the 1st pitch of the SD/LA game. Spin rate? Check! Velocity? Check! Command? Nowhere to be seen. I cannot explain how FAR from pitching this is. On the first pitch, hell the first inning, you are working your fastball around the zone to get a feel for the corners and your command. You might throw 2 of your 3-4 pitches but most nights April to September you don't show your arsenal in the first, you need to get hitters out a couple times. You hold on to the 3 and 4 pitches that you setup in the 1st AB and in the hitters ahead of a guy for later ABs. I am unsure I can explain just how far this one pitch, and the ENTIRE process behind it, is removed from pitching. Having said that I do NOT blame the pitchers. The game is to blame. When you're working on 300 million dollar deals hoping to get 150 innings from a guy, that tells ya all you need to know. It's certainly not an easy fix, nor a quick one, but from the draft to MLB there is ABSOLUTELY a process to 'fix' this crap. Not to mention fewer DL stints, fewer TJ surgeries and longer shelf life for SP.

I’m beyond blessed to have gotten to learn from Reggie Smith the last 24 years. He was an incredible player, but even more so, the greatest teacher I’ve ever seen in baseball. Nobody knows or understands hitting and the human body the way he does- a true master

Jeff Bagwell -- Exit velocity and distance are for the fans. Hitting a ball 376 feet when the fence is 375 is great, but is it the best use of 570 at-bats out of 600? A focus on hitting for contact and getting on base is key, with homers being a bonus. #HittingTips
