An immaculate inning in your hometown?
Jonathan Bowlan’s 8th inning last night at Memphis will be 9 pitches he’ll remember for a long time.

I would like to thank my coaches and teammates at Charleston Southern for a great year. With that being said, due to the coaching change and personal reasons, I’ve decided to enter the transfer portal.

Seeing a worrying trend unfold in varsity baseball lately. Over the past month, I’ve witnessed an unsettling number of head coaches stepping down, not for typical personal reasons but due to excessive parental interference. Speaking to one of the departing coaches, he confided his preference to resign rather than surrender control of his program to overbearing parents. This raises a crucial question: What’s happened to the core principles of hard work and perseverance in sports? Are we so caught up in our own entitled ambitions that we’re willing to disrupt and potentially ruin these vital developmental experiences for others? It’s high time we take a step back and consider the lessons we’re teaching our young athletes. We must encourage them to embrace challenges and adversity, as these are the very experiences that shape resilient, capable adults. Life is not going to coddle them, and neither should we. Let’s restore integrity and independence to the game and let our coaches coach.
I wouldn’t say it’s about the best because they are once in a generation for their franchise. I would say it’s about the majority. What are the stats on that?
Purdue Tennessee and Memphis are the only teams to play 8 quad 1/2 games so far.
Purdue is 5-0 in quad 1, 2-1 in quad 2
Tennessee is 2-3 in quad 1, 3-0 in quad 2
Memphis is 2-2 in quad 1, 4-0 in quad 2.
Memphis is 34th in the NET, Tennessee is 8, Purdue is 4.
If there is not an emphasis on neutralizing crime then the future results will be the same as the previous results. This city has some great amenities, but has always been tagged as “crime ridden” and “unsafe.” Why not elect a mayor whose devotion is to fix that?
2 cents: Memphis needed the next mayor to have more of a forward-looking than backward-looking conception of the city and to understand that “crime” can’t be the sum total of our civic conversation. Two of the main options checked those boxes, two didn’t. We elected one who did.
