@nut_history I was there and was complaining to my wife before the play about not pinch running for snow!!

[Ryan Hosford @hossd5]

@CoachSwit That’s a lot of time for a small stipend and no I’m not a coach. Watching a game a week is sufficient to me.

@abarkett17 Hitters hit

[Ryan Hosford @hossd5]

@3leftsbaseball I agree but also as we have seen with abs umpires are human and make mistakes a lot. So if you thought it was a ball that might be correct but you have to live with the consequences wrong or right.

@LakersCanes305 It’s the pitching that’s the question lol

[Mr. Star Spangled MAGA @4thOfJuly365]

Put yourself in the shoes of an American-hating liberal for just one second.

You’re furious at the system.

You’re convinced the country is rotten to the core.

You’ve got the passport, the savings, the righteous fury.

So…

Where do you go?

Seriously, name the place.

Which nation out there is handing out more freedom, more opportunity, more room to speak your mind, even when your mind is dead-set on trashing the place that gave you it all?

Europe?

Cute accents, sure, but good luck starting a business paying 60% taxes so the government can decide what’s best for you.

Canada?

Don't make me laugh.

Australia?

Beautiful beaches, until you remember they’ll confiscate your guns and fine you for thinking wrong on social media.

The places that actually rival us in size and resources tend to have issues like, oh I don’t know, jailing dissidents and disappearing journalists.

No one is trying to cross the border into Canada.

No one is rushing to live in Italy or Denmark.

Not a single person wants to live in Somalia.

Not even the Somalis.

My point is nowhere else comes close to the United States of America.

(damn that gave me goosebumps)

Not even on their best day.

We’re not perfect, never claimed we were.

We’ve got problems stacked higher than a Manhattan skyline.

Most of them involve the same people who hate it here.

But name another country that lets you hate it out loud, organize against it, protest in its streets, sue its government, run for office to fix it, and still sleep under the best roof on planet Earth.

Name one that turned a wild frontier into the world’s innovation engine in a couple centuries.

Name one whose culture conquered the globe without firing a shot.

Blue jeans, rock ’n’ roll, Hollywood blockbusters, iPhones, and yes, even our fast food as unhealthy as it is.

We invented the weekend barbecue, the Super Bowl, the road trip across deserts and mountains and beaches that make the rest of the world’s postcards look amateur.

We’ve got Yellowstone, Yosemite, the Grand Canyon, the Golden Gate Bridge, and natural wonders that leave foreigners speechless.

We put rockets into space while half the planet was still figuring out indoor plumbing.

And our sports?

Puhhhh-lease.

The rest of the world plays “football” for 90 minutes and calls a 1-0 snoozefest exciting.

We gave you March Madness, overtime thrillers, seventh-game World Series walk-offs, and fourth-quarter comebacks that turn grown men into crying newborns.

Good luck beating us at our own games, we literally invented most of them.

People risk their lives on rafts, tunnels, and desert treks to get here.

Not to Sweden.

Not to Japan.

Here.

Even the ones who show up waving the flag of the country they just fled still know, deep down, this is the last best shot.

So yeah, keep telling me how much you hate it.

I’ll keep grinning, because your refusal to leave is the loudest “America rules” you’ll ever shout.

We’re loud, messy, flawed, and absolutely unbeatable.

God bless this ridiculous, beautiful, freedom-drunk nation.

There’s nowhere else I’d rather be.

[Kilo Sierra @RedCanes]

It's mind blowing that Miami has the two best defensive ends in college football and every offensive line in America blocked them perfectly without holding.

[Ryan Hosford @hossd5]

@jerrett_ray @KentMurphy I was in right field stands and I said to my wife why is jt snow not getting pinch run for!!!

[Ryan Hosford @hossd5]

@lookingglass401 @CracraftFan That’s what I tell people he was never the same

[Prospect Select Scout @PSBaseballScout]

Luke Heminger (‘29, FL) ⬇️

LHP showed tons of poise and patience at the dish. Mature swing for his age group, has a “yes,yes,yes” mentality and takes pitches with intent. Wide base with a timed toe-tap and shifts his weight well into the baseball. Creates good arm extension and has a slight up hill bat path

1B to RF with 2RBI’s

[Prospect Select Scout @PSBaseballScout]

Zion Jones (‘29, FL) ⬇️

Short, compact swing with quick hands and a straight bat path. Coming up clutch with 2 solid barrels and 3 RBI’s for his team.

[Prospect Select Scout @PSBaseballScout]

Reid Alberti (‘29, FL) ⬇️

Athletic RHP, controlled opposition in a CG shutout. Did a great job of controlling the game. Releases ball from a 3/4 arm slot and mixed his pitches around the strike zone all game.

@BaseballDoesnt We made it to final game and I legit felt bad for some of those games. My son was the smallest on our team and the biggest for other teams lol

[Ryan Hosford @hossd5]

@TaylorLewan77 Drives me crazy

[Ryan Hosford @hossd5]

@MattyCleve5 I think it’s should be best of 3 all the way to the end

[Ryan Hosford @hossd5]

@MiamiSportsHQ @MiamiHurricanes @LockedOnCanes @BarstoolUMiami 1,3,5 all other answers are incorrect

[Ryan Hosford @hossd5]

@NorCalU1 It’s simple, pay them more but hold them accountable so parents don’t lose their crap for not even trying to do a good job. $150 a game split between two umps.

[Ryan Hosford @hossd5]

@dirtyyybird Unless they put money in nil that tuition cost is a game changer until you have 35 full scholarships

[Ryan Hosford @hossd5]

@ItsAUThingBlog @CanesBaseball 8 kids from outside of Florida for UF 11.5 scholarships on $8k vs $80k it’s not the same playing field. Only Vanderbilt has invested in baseball to be competitive with the state schools

[Perfect Game Scout @PG_Scouting]

Kyle Hopper (25 FL) w/ 7Ks thru 4IP thus far. Living upper-80s T89 w/ significant projection remaining. S/M SL in the upper-70s is a lethal offering. #JU commit.
