I miss real intentional walks. The crowd booing, the .01% chance something weird would happen, the batter giving off “Yeah, I knew you didn’t want any this” vibes. If you want to walk a guy you should at least have to look like pussies for 30 seconds. It was good.

Sometimes you just have to let it happen.

"It's a deep-rooted thing, we're off and this will never happen again"

Blunt honesty from Jay Johnson about some of the things plaguing the #LSU offense this year.

Says he made mistakes in roster construction with his team this year.

The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled, was convincing the world a 12-year old needs Bruce Bolt batting gloves 🙋🏻‍♂️

Math achievement would go up immediately if we reduced the excessive amounts of time in K-2 spent on unguided exploration of concrete materials, low rigor math games, and multiple representations, and simply taught more lessons with clear objectives, modeling, and practice.

How important is the 'big inning' in college baseball?

In 2025 teams who generated a big inning (3+ runs) won...

D1 Baseball: 70.2% of the time
D2 Baseball: 70.1% of the time
D3 Baseball: 69.6% of the time
NAIA Baseball: 70.6% of the time

Perfectly timed delay pick at third base. Base runner puts his head down & slowly returns to 3B when he thinks the catcher is making a return throw to the pitcher. The fact that he is leading so far foul & does not return immediately in fair territory makes it that much easier.

[Kyle Wagner @GowagsKyle]

“Tough” players are so misunderstood.

Tough is running out an infield pop up.
Tough is going 0-15 and still being a good teammate.
Tough is overcoming a missed 2-2 pitch.
Tough is competing when every fiber in your body says it’s not worth it.

That’s tough!!!

Congratulations to the Ada A's for their 2025 RRABL Championship!

An exciting season showing 3 classes can play nice and have a highly competitive league.

Good luck to all the teams as they compete in sections, districts and regions

[Jerry Weinstein @JWonCATCHING]

When you don’t go back on an infield LD this is what can happen. The cue”freeze on a line drive” does not work. To truly imprint the desired reaction into your base runners, it is important to rep it during BP.

If Shohei drop steps when he steals, we can probably let high school kids do it, too 🤷‍♂️

My JUCO coach used to say, “On a ground ball to the left side of the first baseman, dive back behind them”
