"This morning, we talked about 2 Timothy: God does not give you a spirit of being timid. Instead, God gives you a spirit of power and love and self-discipline."
Before the WCWS win against Texas, Karen Weekly shared this verse with the #LadyVols.
@herschelredding Some of them really are low rise balls. But they’d still have to have that up spin and most of them don’t because not that many kids actually throw a low rise ball at the knees. Sometimes it’s really just a fastball 😂
I am really so tired of softball commentators not knowing the difference between pitches. A pitch that ends up in the upper 1/3 of the zone is not a drop ball and if it does not have up spin it is not a riseball. Sometimes it’s just a fastball guys.
A story of resilience, loyalty, and strength 💪

Walt Weiss has a decision to make. He either has to get ejected in tonight’s game or the first home game back in Atlanta.
It’s what Bobby would’ve wanted.
We mourn the passing of Hall of Famer Bobby Cox, the fourth-winningest manager in MLB history.
Cox led the Atlanta Braves to unprecedented success, winning 14 straight division titles from 1991-2005, along with 5 NL pennants and the 1995 World Series championship.
The four-time Manager of the Year won 2,401 games overall, behind only Connie Mack, Tony La Russa, and John McGraw. Of the 13 managers with at least 2,000 career wins, only one (Joe McCarthy) got there in fewer games than Cox.
Cox managed the Braves for 25 seasons in all, leading them to six 100-win seasons and eight 90-win seasons. He also managed the Blue Jays for four years, including the franchise’s first winning record in 1983 and first division title in 1985.
As General Manager of the Braves from 1986-90, Cox laid the foundation for the teams he would manage to success over the next two decades by trading for one future Hall of Famer in John Smoltz, drafting another in Chipper Jones, and helping develop homegrown legend Tom Glavine.
Owner of a .556 winning percentage in 29 total seasons as manager, Cox was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2014.
He was 84 years old.
As an AD, sideline coaches always amaze me. The ones hanging on the fence or sitting in the bleachers somehow know more than the coaches who run practice every day. They know who should play (usually their own kid). Funny thing is, they’re never willing to step up and actually coach or never been to a single practice.
