@GrandIslandViks Very proud of Teagans effort on and off the ice/court/field but even more proud of her effort in the classroom.

@Andy_Villamarzo @wny_football @SFHSfootballNY The worst stadium to watch a football game at, you are miles away from the field

@BrianSGraham Congrats Dean, it only took you 40 years to get 300! Kidding of course. A coach that I have learned a ton from and hold a tremendous amount of respect for. You are not allowed to retire anytime soon.

Another high school coach said to me this week:

“You see kids committing D1 off exit velo, ‘upside’ and showcases…

Then you check the H.S. stats—and they’re hitting in the .100s.”

He asked:

“If you’re a D1 guy, shouldn’t you be lighting up H.S. pitching?”

Thoughts on this?

@SleeperBills Should have paid Edwards

[Coach Swit @CoachSwit]

Some players are cage hitters…others are gametime hitters.

The cage can make a lot of players look like hitters. The box score tells you who actually is.

Bottom line, Coaches are looking for the hitters who show up when the lights come on & hit under pressure.

@SleeperBills @spotrac Cut Dion!

An undefeated college baseball regular season is earned not given. 330 Sports Report says it best, powerhouse Junior College @NiagaraTwolves is Western New York’s #FastballU. 10 arms at 89 or higher for the upcoming 2026 season (and we’re only in January)! #LiquidSportsLabPartner

all quotes from Brandon Beane on draft night:

“I went to bed that night saying it’s Keon unless someone blows us away”

“Barring someone offers us something stupid. We’ll take Keon Coleman”

Sure sounds like it was HIS pick!

[James Kurdziel @JamesRadio]

Sean McDermott didn’t blow it with his draft picks. Sean McDermott didn’t mismanage the cap so badly Josh Allen may never get real help. Sean McDermott didn’t act like a child when someone dared question him.

Brandon Beane is the real problem.

I don’t care what level of college you play (or played).
You’re one of the 7% of HS athletes to do it, and that’s something to be really proud of.

I don’t think some Players & Parents know what a big difference there is between High School Baseball & College Baseball. Suggestion go watch a live game!

Ballplayers:
Please make these calls on the regular. I’d bet they want it more for you than you do, and they love these calls more than you know!
