Plate umpire and the rules analyst eat paint chips.

Commission the Mia statue.

Two awful ABs to end it.

No reason to keep Kavan in now.

Joe West behind the plate and in the field and at every other blue spot tonight.

Vladdy Atwood on 3-0.

Grow the game moments all week with MLB investing in a pro softball league and the umps trot out that call in the national title series.

Swing the bat.

Did your job, 5.

Huge night for Williams. Fantastic he’s already coming through in the clutch.

Pate does a good job getting what he can out of most of these coaches. Sark, Smart, and Sumrall (his interview was fantastic from a G5 roster building perspective) shined. Riley and Venables were full of platitudes and the listen was an overall dud.

Shots of Tom Herman on the sideline and wasting leadoff doubles are the worst.

Auburn has some of the same annoying tendencies as Kentucky. Wearing this conference out in year one has been better than I imagined.

Tre’s competitiveness is going to ensure a long pro career.

OU ignoring hoops NIL with a decent history and Moser there is certainly a choice. I also can’t wait for the long-form takedown on Hubert Davis’ UNC tenure.
