It’s everything that’s wrong with the RPI, not the sport. That’s why I’m glad we have other metrics the committee is considering this year. You should never be penalized for winning a game, the current RPI system does that sometimes. So while I don’t like it…I understand completely why some teams cancel games now. Your job as a coach is to put your team in the best position to succeed, not to make friends.

Statement: Our team faced multiple extended delays over the weekend, extensive travel days and challenging rest and recovery periods. We play a critically important conference series beginning Thursday that demands putting our student-athletes in the best position possible.

So special! Tears on a Saturday morning

This video is from before everything. Before every team had a video like this (thanks @JonesAngell). Before the @DiamondHeels were what they are now. Before Boshamer was what you saw last night.

This is the quintessential tribute to the people on that 2006 team who changed the entire program. Still gives me chills today. What a ride.

[Chad Holbrook @cholbrook2]

Chills. Great memories. Great people. A thrill of a lifetime to be a part of that team.

[Carolina Baseball @DiamondHeels]

What a team. What a run! 👏👏

Today we welcome back the 2006 squad for their 20 year reunion, celebrating everything they achieved together. CWS Runners Up, ACC Coastal Champions, record high wins... the list goes on and on.

@SportsMediaJB @cholbrook2 @BenBowers33 Chad i talked to TK Sam as i was leaving. He said tell you he still loves you. A lot of us still do and always will. A lot of us still love the Holbrooks. Congrats on the win. Yall deserve the best!

[Scott Eisberg @SEisbergWCIV]

It was really cool. I was at the @CofCBaseball bus arrival last night after the Cougs beat Coastal for the 3rd straight time.

Much of the talk from the ballclub, about different history. GM @SamGjormand - a female in uniform, on field, coaching first base for the first time.

So well respected in the game.

This, another step in her journey. We chatted about it.

[Chad Holbrook @cholbrook2]

Actually it’s her knowledge of the game, her work ethic, and the respect our players have for her that landed her the job. There are plenty of Hall of Fame coaches out there that didn’t play the particular sport they coach. To be blunt, she’s earned everything!

Reece, so clutch!! Tied at 2!

[Patterson Baseball ⚾️ etc. @Ripat53]

Good for her
That takes some guts to put yourself in that position
There’s some pressure being a base coach.
Fans love to second guess your decisions

For nine months, my wife Brooklyn carried our baby boy knowing he was dying. Three months in, they told us he had severe hydrocephalus. Too much fluid crushing his brain. "Off the charts bad," the specialists at Cincinnati Children's said. So extreme they stopped measuring because it didn't matter anymore.
The MRIs were sickening to look at. They said over 90% chance he'd either die right after birth or survive with such severe brain damage that any quality of life was impossible. We had meetings about breathing tubes. About when to remove life support. About letting our son "pass peacefully."
Brooklyn moved to Cincinnati, lived in a hotel near the hospital in case she went into labor. I drove back and forth, working, trying to hold our family together while planning our baby's funeral. On July 8th, fifteen minutes before her C-section, we had another meeting about the breathing tube. About when we'd need to remove it and let him go to Heaven.
Then Charlie came out crying. The sweetest sound I've ever heard.
He stayed in intensive care until yesterday. Now he's home, doing everything babies do. Normal. Beautiful. The doctors have no medical explanation. His brain somehow cleared the blockage on its own, something they've never seen in a case this severe. Nurses with decades of experience kept saying "miracle" and "divine intervention."
Thousands of people were praying for us. Friends, family, strangers, people we'd never met. I'm practical, I believe in science, but I know God was involved in this. I give Him all the credit.
During those endless nights in Cincinnati, I started woodworking in the hotel parking lot just to keep my hands busy, to stop my mind from breaking. Made small toys hoping one day Charlie might hold them. Listed a few things on the Tedooo app where I'd been selling my work, and strangers started buying pieces they didn't need, sending messages saying they were praying for our son. That community held me when I couldn't stand.
Charlie's here. He's alive. Prayer is real, and miracles still happen.

This offseason I kept hearing about frustration with the CAA's new scheduling format for baseball, so I wrote about it. Read about what has the league's coaches riled up at the link below.
