Pete Bevacqua: “If you wanted to maximize media value around college football, I think you would take 24 to 30 teams, create unbelievably competitive scheduling where a team like Notre Dame would play Alabama, Georgia, Penn State, Ohio State, Michigan…”👀
Travel baseball has one major issue. We see parents already looking for the perfect “travel program.” Those don’t exist. What you need to be looking for is who has the best coach. The name doesn’t mean anything. The instruction means everything.
Another big league principle to infield play is hand presentation:
Palm above the ball and snipe the pocket. Look at how the ball is controlled with no rattle.Listen to the ball hitting the glove. That’s what good catch sounds like.

Craig Counsell is a mild Leo Durocher !He stands in the dugout and spits seeds and isn’t a manager that can elevate a slumping team as we saw last year in the 2nd half and now this year .Lots of tight asses @JesseRogersESPN@Cubs
Ready???
Starting Aug. 1, Illinois and local sales tax could reach:
Cook (Chicago/Chgo suburbs): 12.25%
Kane: 11.25%
DuPage: 11.00%
Will: 10.50%
Lake: 10.25%
McHenry: 8.75%
EVERYONE, including young people, should be screaming about tax hikes.
Kyle Tucker is a businessman who dabbles occasionally playing baseball at an average level .Was shocking how he collapsed under any pressure in Chicago as he hit .266 w/ 22 homers and 73 RBI . PCA will be fine plus he has a pulse @BarroomNetwork

Former Irish WR Miles Boykin says that going to Notre Dame and playing Football is the hardest thing he's ever done in his life.
"Playing in the NFL is hard. It's not harder than going to ND. I promise you."
He said he can do anything the coaches ask of him in the NFL because he first went to Notre Dame.

If you’re a graduating high school senior headed to college baseball, go play in a collegiate summer league.
Skip the 18U travel tournaments.
Face older players. Learn from college players. See how they prepare and compete.
You’ll be better prepared when you get to campus.
Arlington Heights sounds pretty ticked with Springfield after this once in a ten generation economic development opportunity was blown because of inept Democratic leadership in Springfield.
Consider this … if Springfield is this incompetent and bumbling as this with a high profile business like the Bears, what are they like with smaller, less high profile business?
There is a reason our state is last in everything and businesses are fleeing. It’s Democrat leadership (or lack thereof).
For the love of God, vote red!
It’s amazing how many baseball bros think rules should disappear whenever enforcement affects a player or action they like. Taunting is against the rules. The penalty is ejection. If that concept is too complicated, sports might not be your thing.

Outsider:and couldn’t show up for the vote to do some arm twisting.The bear brass didn’t show up to Springfield and kudos to to my radio brethren for saying how bad that looked @ESPNChicago@thescorechicago
Oh no, the Bears might leave Chicago or Illinois for a shiny new stadium?! 😱
Meanwhile Boeing, Caterpillar, Ken Griffin’s Citadel, PEAK6 and a parade of billionaires already sprinted out for lower taxes, less crime, and politics that aren’t completely insane.
But sure, let’s cry over football while the real jobs and talent exodus continues. Priorities, Chicago and Illinois 😂

Of course the Illinois assembly approved the budget. At 4 am on a Sunday so they think we wouldn't notice. And they gave themselves raises bc $128k for 70 days of "work" isn't enough for them. Like I have said many times, the only option in Illinois, is to vote with our feet. Nothing will change in Illinois even with a Republican governor bc of the Democrat supermajority here.
