Prediction: Texas Tech will try to leave the Big 12 for the B1G or SEC in the next round of realignment. Question is, does either of those conferences want them?

[Erik Stone @erikmstone]

This season is shot.

[Joel Goldberg @goldbergkc]

Matt Quatraro says Vinnie Pasquantino underwent hamate surgery this morning. Timeline is roughly 4-6 weeks.

He said Kris Bubic was seen by a doctor, had another MRI. Nothing structurally wrong. Going to play catch today and continue his progression as symptoms allow.

@DScottFritchen Great place with great food!

[D. Scott Fritchen @DScottFritchen]

K-State now has two NCAA National Champions!

Selva Prabhu wins the NCAA Championship in the men’s triple jump with a season’s best mark of 16.92 meters (55 feet, 6.25 inches) in Eugene, Oregon.

[Erik Stone @erikmstone]

Doing work!

[K-State T&F/XC @KStateTFXC]

NATIONAL CHAMPION 🥇

Tah Chikomba takes gold in the long jump, breaking his own school record at 8.37m (27-5½)!

#NCAATF x #EMAW

[Erik Stone @erikmstone]

We all know projections mean nothing especially from @espn

[D. Scott Fritchen @DScottFritchen]

ESPN projects K-State football to be a contender for the 2026 Big 12 Championship and projects K-State to have 8.2 wins in the 2026 season. That is the fourth most projected wins in the Big 12 Conference behind Texas Tech (10.7), BYU (8.7) and Utah (8.4).

[Erik Stone @erikmstone]

Good thing Tech's sugar daddy Cody Campbell is paying him that $4-6M because he owes Cincinnati $1M for bolting on them for a conference rival.

[Derek Young @DerekYoungKSO]

I'm glad he's getting the help he needs and is seeking treatment. But he doesn't have to play college football to get it.

[Erik Stone @erikmstone]

Let Lynch have a shot at closing. Can't hurt to find out if he can.

[Joel Goldberg @goldbergkc]

#Royals lose 4-3, walked off in 10.

Led 3-1. Matt Strahm HR in the 8th.

Lucas Erceg struggled again. Leadoff HR in the 9th

Royals 12th blown save, 0-4 in last four.

Noah Cameron tied career highs in innings & strikeouts. 7IP 1H 1R 0BB 8K 1HR 87 pitches. Retired 21 of 22

[Erik Stone @erikmstone]

It had to know all @espn to air this after one of their beloved @SEC schools got bounced out

[Barstool Sports @barstoolsports]

WVU walks it off & has the entire stadium singing Country Roads

Chills

[Erik Stone @erikmstone]

I wonder if Coach Cal will reprimand them when they get back.

[Colby @cl_all_day]

Wow, as a lifelong Arkansas fan I am absolutely appalled at the classless behavior of our fans here. Throwing beer cans at opposing fans is never okay, especially when completely unprovoked. I hope my fellow Pig fans will apologize to Kansas for this #WPS

[Erik Stone @erikmstone]

@goldbergkc But according to Piccolo, Q is the best manager in franchise history. Enjoy having a mostly empty ballpark the rest of the summer. Thank goodness the Savannah Bananas, a real Baseball team is at the K this weekend.

[Erik Stone @erikmstone]

@anne__rogers @FlannyMLB Piccolo is afraid to admit he made a mistake. What do you mean don't make a change in the middle of the season? The @RedSox and @Phillies did.

[Erik Stone @erikmstone]

Erceg has to be injured. What other explanation is there? Time to let Lynch have a shot at closing. Nothing else is working

[Joel Goldberg @goldbergkc]

Royals walked off in Texas 7-6. This was the most heartbreaking of the losses. The offense finally busted open, led by Carter Jensen but Lucas Erceg could not close a 6-4 game.

A couple of infield hits in the 9th after a leadoff homer opened the floodgates. 5th loss in a row.

[Erik Stone @erikmstone]

@caden13brown @KStateFB Welcome to K-State!

[Erik Stone @erikmstone]

But hey, the players continue to relate to Q's "messages." I'm sure Piccolo will finalize that extension any day now.

[Joel Goldberg @goldbergkc]

#Royals lose 9-1. They’ve been outscored 31-2 in the last three games.

Stephen Kolek allowed 4 runs in the 1st following his complete game shutout last weekend. A leadoff walk plus a couple errors did not help his cause. 5IP 6H 6R 4ER 1BB 5K 1HR.

Royals have lost 14 of 17

[Erik Stone @erikmstone]

Yet Piccolo thinks Q is the right man for the job. Blah blah blah.

[Joel Goldberg @goldbergkc]

#Royals blasted 15-1. 12th straight regular season loss to the Yankees.

NY with 6 homers, 24 hits. 4th most hits allowed in Royals franchise history and the most since 2013.

Bailey Falter 2.1IP 9H 7R 3HR. Luinder Avila 3IP 7H 3R.

Bobby Witt Jr solo home run.

[Erik Stone @erikmstone]

How long is Piccolo going to let this go on? The team that just swept the Royals had the guts to fire their manager and five coaches.

[Joel Goldberg @goldbergkc]

#Royals lose 4-3. Swept for 4th time this year

Michael Wacha 6IP 6H 2R 1ER 2BB 8K 8th quality start in ten outings

Elias Diaz and Salvador Perez homered. Salvy’s 311th is six shy of tying George Brett’s franchise mark

Jaren Duran triple and homer. Off tomorrow. Mariners Friday

ST. LOUIS WIN THEIR FIRST-EVER SHOOTOUT TO ADVANCE TO THE SEMIS

Just the second PK shootout in club history and their first trip to the U.S. Open Cup Semifinals. @stlCITYsc are making history tonight!

[St Louis CITY SC @stlCITYsc]

WE MOVE ON 👏

#AllForCITY x @opencup

[Erik Stone @erikmstone]

Time for Q and Zumwalt to be out of the managing and coaching lineup.

[Jaylon T. Thompson @jaylonthompson]

#Royals manager Matt Quatraro explained the reason Jac Caglianone isn’t in the lineup was due to multiple factors including Andre Pallante’s reverse splits.

“Yeah that’s something to do with it. We’re in a run of four righties as well. And, trying to keep everybody involved.”
