@alixonmartinez2 Small schools are calling in this new era though. Mid-majors performing better than ever. It shows there are a ton of overlooked players at every level and some coaches who really know how to get the best out of players. College baseball has never been more entertaining.

I loved Abilene, heartbreaking to see the destruction and how the citizens were lied to!!!

[Josh Straughan @JoshStraughan1]

D1 walk on who sits the bench?

OR

D2 scholarship and play?

If you have to think about this one, you most likely don’t have the drive to play in college… a lot of college athletes quit after year 1 or 2..

Go where you are WANTED ‼️

Your child gets:

- 18 summers at home
- 18 birthday cakes with the family
- 940 weekends before adulthood
- A few thousand goodnight kisses

Sounds like a lot.

Until you realize some are already gone.

Make the rest count.

My wife and I were talking last night about groceries.

I went back into my Walmart app and pulled up an order from January 2020.

30 items. $70.20.

I added every single one back to the cart today.

$165.42.
Same 30 items. Same store. Same cart.
$95 more, In six years.

They told us inflation was temporary. They told us it was under control. They told us the economy was recovering.

My grocery bill didn’t get the memo.

135% increase in six years and nobody in Washington has missed a single meal.

If Hobart field had a fence @RussDobbins

[Dudes Posting Their W’s @DudespostingWs]

Dad and son are doing batting practice when his son launches one over the fence. Dad can't contain his excitement. Baseball is one of those sports where parents can be directly part of the work, throwing BP, playing catch, hitting grounders, etc

🙏 for Judge

[Dan Clark @DanClarkSports]

Aaron Judge:

Potential Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS). TOS is serious. There are multiple types.

Rare in position players. Jared Walsh and Mike Zunino are examples. More common in pitchers.

Recovery 9-10 months. Most never fully return to pre-injury ability, despite surgery.

[Mike Bales 🫡🇺🇸 @MikeBales]

To everyone who…
Puts the cart back, smiles at strangers, lets others go first, shows real empathy, listens to understand, is kind to animals, notices the little things, offers help, checks if people are okay, sends the “Did you make it home?” text, and feels for those who are hurting.
Thank you. The world needs more of you. 🙏🏻

Just a little truth 💣

⭐️THIS is a GREAT read ⭐️

I’m worn out hearing people moan, “Our grandparents could buy a house on one paycheck, but now we can’t even afford rent on two!”

Yeah, maybe because Grandma wasn’t dropping half her income on $14 iced lattes and avocado toast shaped like art projects. Back then, if they wanted coffee, they boiled it at home in a dented pot. It tasted like burnt rubber and regret — but it woke you up and cleaned your pipes.

And Grandma wasn’t “out to brunch.” You think she had time for mimosas and hashtags? She was making something called whatever’s left in the fridge and feeding six people with it.

Don’t even start with Uber Eats. You think Grandpa was out here paying $38 to have a burger delivered three blocks away? Please. He grilled mystery meat on a rusted barbecue, and everyone called it dinner.

Now people cry about being broke while sitting in a house full of gadgets. Two SUVs in the driveway, six streaming services, three air fryers, and matching tattoos that cost more than their light bill. You think Grandpa had a tattoo? He did. It said “Korea, 1951,” and it came with trauma, not Instagram likes.

And the kids—Lord help us. “We can’t make ends meet, but Brayden needs the new iPhone!” No, he doesn’t. You’re handing an $1100 device to a child who still eats crayons and forgets to flush.

When we were kids, there was one phone. It hung on the wall like a family relic. The cord stretched just far enough for you to whisper secrets before someone yelled, “Get off, I need to make a call!” And guess what? We lived.

The TV? One. In the living room. With three channels and a dial that clicked like a safe. And if Dad wanted to watch bowling, you were a fan of bowling, end of story.

Now there’s a flat screen in every room, the baby’s got an iPad, the dog’s got a camera, and everyone’s wondering why they can’t afford rent.
Because you’re living like rock stars on retail salaries, that’s why.

Grandpa wasn’t leasing Teslas or buying $12 smoothies called “Green Zen Awakening.” He drove a truck that coughed smoke, rattled like a storm, and smelled like oil and hard work.

They lived within their means. Whatever Grandpa brought home on Friday — that’s what they had. They weren’t keeping up with the Joneses; they were keeping the lights on.

So yeah, Grandpa bought a house on one salary. But he also didn’t have a gym membership, three delivery apps, and emotional support crystals on his nightstand. His only support system was Grandma, who told him to quit whining and mow the yard.

Nowadays, everyone’s broke, anxious, and “manifesting abundance” while ordering tacos on DoorDash for the fourth time this week.

It’s not the economy — it’s the lifestyle.

Wake up, turn off your subscriptions, make your own coffee, and maybe—just maybe—you’ll smell the truth.
