NEW: Mike Leach made the Hall of Fame ballot after criteria changes — but if he's getting in, John Majors should already be there 👀

Majors won 3 SEC titles and a natty. Leach never came close.

A lot of players are getting ejected in regional play for dumb ass celebrations.
Parents and Coaches allowing players to act like morons.
Why isn't playing good and winning not enough?

[Jonathan Murphree @murphree69]

@JomboyMedia Why are these coaches allowing this kind of nonsense from their players?

[Jonathan Murphree @murphree69]

@nickstrong Wood bats?

Just a reminder that as GenX with boomer parents, the summer childcare plan for me was to drop me off at the city pool everyday from 10-6 with $1.50 in quarters and a towel. Lunch from a vending machine, no sunscreen, no life vest. We survived on sunshine, water fountains, and sun-bleached teenaged lifeguards. My friend knocked her teeth out on the diving board. The pool manager rinsed her mouth out with coke, gave her some paper towels and told her when it stopped bleeding she could get back in. We never questioned it. 😅

Way too many parents talking about retaining their 8th grade boys for a school sports advantage. I’ve got news for you. If you are thinking you need to do that, then your child is not that good and you are not considering the pressure you’re putting on them. You’re doing this for YOU, not your child. Grow up. You didn’t make it to the big leagues and they likely won’t either. 🤦‍♀️

If you see a fox in your neighborhood, be glad. A red fox eats roughly 2,000 mice, rats, and voles a year. They help keep tick-carrying rodent populations in check, which reduces local Lyme disease risk. Don't call animal control. Just watch.

One winter of getting up 2-3 hours before sunrise and this will be repealed. Zero sunshine is protected with this act.

[Russ Diamond @russdiamond]

Stop changing clocks = GOOD. Permanent Daylight Saving time = BAD. It was tried in 1974 as an experiment and was so unpopular Congress cancelled the experiment before it was over. Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Permanent Standard Time (my HB119) is the healthier, more geographically appropriate choice. And it's already federally approved. @SaveStandard @SupportStandard

[Coach Vint @coachvint]

I talked a dad who told me he spent $10k a year on travel baseball between tourneys, travel, and gear for his son. He got a partial scholarship to D-2 school. If he had put the $10k in a mutual fund each year, he would have had about $190,000. The scholarship was $5k a year.

@DanClarkSports What coaches and parents are allowing this?

[Brian McDuff @brian_mcduff]

Why didn’t he do fist pumps, wave to the outfield, and taunt the opponents dugout? Why was the whole team not at home plate to do some choreographed dance ritual?

[Chuck Donovan @cantdon]

Tell me that everyone does understand that changing clocks does not add a second of sunshine to the day. Right? Everyone?

[Politicalmom @Politicalmom66]

Come on, Idaho! Do you want darkness until almost 9 am in the winter? Our kids out in ten degree weather in the dark? The country tried it once and it lasted less than a year!! Call our useless reps and tell them NO!

[Glen Nowicki @glen_with1n]

It should be emphasized that permanent DST has been already tried, in 1973-1974. People didn’t like it. The issue lies in the elongated darkness in morning hours.

The US is a large country geographically. Depending on where you live, being on permanent DST may not have you see sunrise until 9AM during the darkest parts of winter. Yes, this is correct. It’s an unfortunate result of the US being in the northern hemisphere and the Earth’s 23 degree tilt. We all like our longer summer evening light on DST, but the opposite will occur in winter with longer darkness in the morning.

Tbh, I’m not in favor of it. Keep the time change. It sucks, yes, but you’ll be complaining more if it’s set to be the other.

[Save Standard Time @SaveStandard]

Mr. President, Daylight Saving Time forces Americans to wake an hour earlier than Standard Time and does not create more daylight. Permanent Daylight Saving Time would make winter mornings dangerously dark, with some sunrises occurring as late as 9am. For the sake of public health, safety, and better sleep, please restore permanent Standard Time!

[Anthony Scaramucci @Scaramucci]

I was an uptight 32-year-old who'd just left Goldman.

Barely any money when I started my own business.

So naturally my pompous little ass joined the Harvard Club — I wanted people to know I went to Harvard.

Four years of breakfast meetings, prospect after prospect.

Meanwhile Joaquin is busing my table every morning.

We'd chat often and I tipped well.

One day he comes over and says — Mr. Anthony, you manage money, right? We've had a personal injury situation.

My family just came into $35 million. You've always been kind to me.

Would you manage it?

The guy busing my table had a higher net worth than I did.

Be good to people. All of it comes back around.

[David Neill @DNeill62]

Common story:

Kid loves baseball. Decides to quit other sports & specialize in 8th grade.

Plays spring ball, summer travel ball, & fall ball. Private lessons over the winter. Ends up swinging/throwing 12 months straight.

Does this for 4 years.

48 months straight of the same back/arm stress.

And we wonder why so many HS players have Pars stress fractures and torn UCLs.

Now apply this to volleyball, golf, basketball, etc. We are breaking our kids’ bodies in pursuit of scholarships.

Athletes need an offseason. Especially when they’re 15.

Who's in the room saying, "I think we should rank 7 year olds."

What are we doing, people? 🤦🏼‍♂️
