Hosting “Bases Loaded” is an annual highlight for me. The best part is working with @Mike_Rooney, who believes he has psychic abilities.

- Found this fascinating.. trips to CWS since 2010: 7- Florida 5- TCU 3- Oregon State 3- UCLA 3- Texas 3- Texas Tech 3- Arkansas 3- LSU 3- South Carolina 3- Vandy 3- Virginia 3- Florida State 3- North Carolina 3- Louisville
- While writing Fall Reports, I look up guys’ career stats quite often. And then I remember @RazorbackBSB Kevin Kopps: 2016: Redshirt 2017: 3.31 ERA 2018: TJ surgery 2019: 3.89 ERA 2020: 8.18 ERA 2021: Golden Spikes Award Good or bad, our past does not define us. Love that.
GIF - Today was a bad day for Baseball. Kumar Rocker is a special talent, a special person, & he is a critical role model for a bunch of kids our sport is desperately trying to attract. Kumar could’ve played any sport.. he chose Baseball. It’s complicated but we need to do better.
- The @LSUbaseball fan base deserves a shout out.. they continue to set the bar on how to support a College Baseball program. #Easy80
- I'm biased but really cool that 18 of 25 guys on Dodgers WS roster played College Baseball.. #PlayerDevelopment
- I’m in no way surprised, but the crowds that @BeaverBaseball always attracts in Surprise is just awesome in every way. Outstanding college baseball fan base and this is a super cool tradition (Beavs have been coming here for 20+ years!!). ➕➕👏🏻👏🏻
- .@OleMissBSB just broke the school record with Season Ticket sales of 7,307.. Let that number sink in for a second. Mike Bianco has built a big time program in Oxford. Congrats to one of College Baseball’s very best fan bases. #LargeLeague
- Steve Pearce is my hero: *Undersized RHH with no position but rakes! *Two years of JUCO then mashed at @GamecockBasebll (42 jacks & 133 RBI) *Senior sign for $40k *8+ years of Service Time and MVP of this game. #LunchPailer
- I own this. My opinion: The great umpires defuse tough situations. We need those men calling these enormous games. I can’t believe what I just watched.I blame this on @Mike_Rooney for shouting out how good the umps were yesterday. It was never gonna happen twice in a row.
- The moment Wyatt Langford found out he was breaking spring training with the big club
- This is 3 postseasons in a row where we’ve had a high profile ejection in a critical tournament game. I believe we have good umpires. So, that’s leave one conclusion: We have not armed our umpires with the ability to diffuse heated situations. This is no longer a coincidence.
- We just taped a @d1baseball “Year In Review” pod. It reminded me of this crazy nugget: @Vol_Baseball lost the best pitcher in the country (Chase Burns) last offseason… And then they won the national title. 🤯🤯🔥🏆
