Round of applause for Emma Weyant, the UVA swimmer who placed second in the 500y freestyle tonight, behind Lia Thomas. Second is the new first. #savewomenssports

@MattWalshBlog Imagine your daughter coming in second after dedicating her life to swimming 😡

@tomhouse My rule to coaches was not more than 25 in an inning and not more than 20 twice.

@JohnMichaelSm15 @marvinfreeman84 In my opinion that's a lot of the fuel behind all the changes we're seeing. The bat-flipping is cool crowd is easier to sell and cater to. Big business is at the helm.

@JohnMichaelSm15 @marvinfreeman84 I say it's bad for the kids, but I actually played baseball. Good for the kids and parents that want a Disney World environment.

@olivercoquelin @SallyMayweather Common sense playa.

Ask yourself, as you are breathing while wearing the mask. Where is the virus going?

Is it getting trapped in the mask?

As you exhale, does the virus do a u-turn?

Get a grip, its wishful thinking, but cloth masks do not work.

@Reds Yall couldn't have atleast waited until the All-Star break?

@michael_schlact 14u baseball starting to look like mid 90s MLB #SARMS

@coachzblair10 Because youth baseball is a billion dollar industry. Have to let the consumer dictate what they want.

@marvinfreeman84 Yea, but without a safety bag if Dunston made the play who knows what could have happened...🤦‍♂️

@olivercoquelin @SallyMayweather Mask may symbolize a social consciousness, but they don't prevent the transmission of a respitory virus.

@ivy2myvein @korymunch @tomhouse Its definitely an unsportsmanlike conduct flag for spiking footballs in high school and college.

@olivercoquelin @SallyMayweather How often are people coughing and sneezing?

I don't disagree; it stops large droplets from going out.

It's not reducing spread; it's separating compliant from non-compliant.

@olivercoquelin @SallyMayweather Believe whatever you want to believe.

@tomhouse I prefer smacking them in the lips with a tag at 1b myself. You get it right when you knock their helmet off.

@tomhouse @DanCevette Touch home plate 1st. If the game is over celebrate on the field. If the game is still being played, get in the dugout.

[Ricky Duke @_RickyDuke]

@korymunch @tomhouse Flag gets thrown in football. What's the difference?

[Ricky Duke @_RickyDuke]

@korymunch @tomhouse Help me understand the difference between bat flipping after a home run and spiking the football after a touch down
