Disgusting. Pretty much gives all student-athletes the green light to bet on their own games/throw games…
NEWS: A judge in district court in Lubbock County, Texas, has granted the injunction requested by Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby. He’s set to be eligible for the 2026 season.

A few weeks ago the Giants beat the Dodgers 29-2… in the Arizona Complex League. I wrote about what the hell happened and why it’s a symptom of something much bigger going wrong in the low-level minor leagues. “It’s a total s*** show.” @YahooSports sports.yahoo.com/mlb/article…

Middle America families stuck in the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time that is travel baseball. Baseball needs Legion Ball played at high school fields in t-shirts and gray pants more than ever right now.
Sandlot it ain't. Youth sports now $40 B industry: "Teenagers on travel teams are rolling into weekend tournaments wearing a few thousand dollars of apparel, equipment & swag. Avg family spending on baseball increased nearly 70% between 2019 and 2024." wsj.com/business/retail/dick…

Amid the plethora of RPI-based midweek cancellations around college baseball, #OkState coach Josh Holliday called for the system to be patched. “That pisses me off, and if we’re gonna let people (and teams) manipulate a system, then the system sucks, and it needs to be fixed.”

It seems impossible, but it's true: My N.J. town has to raise $176,000 to keep a proud high school sports program from crumbling — and, in the process, maybe save my daughter's athletic career. If it happens here, it could happen in your town. Column: nj.com/sports/2026/04/my-nj-…

we’re all just floating on a big rock in an empty void of space who even cares about hitting a white ball

You give Ovi whatever he wants and you deal with the fallout later. He has inarguably earned it. You don't give him the John Carlson "what's prudent?" treatment. We are not doing that with Alex Ovechkin. If Ovi wants to come back, he comes back for as long as he wants.
Sure sounds like Ovechkin's decision is less on what he thinks and more on what the Capitals do.

I initially liked ABS, but after 2 full seasons, I’m having some doubts. It takes away aggressiveness away from pitchers. Instead of attacking the zone, I’m noticing more pitchers trying to “clip” the zone. There are positives as it sort of gets rid of bad umpiring. However at this point, I’d rather watch a game with a good ump.
The Korean Baseball Organization’s automated ball-strike system doesn’t involve challenges. Umpires just make the calls based on what’s relayed to them in an earpiece

The following a college scoring issue that annoys me greatly. I do not like hearing about college baseball coaches bullying scorers to make changes to protect the ERA of a pitcher, especially when the scorer is a female, and especially when she ruled it correctly (it was forwarded to me this morning, I saw it and it was scored properly). There is ZERO chance, and I mean ZERO that if this ball was hit by the coach’s player, it would be ruled an error. Absolutely none. Bullying by coaches is ridiculous, and it needs to stop. Baseball is for everyone, and there has been tremendous progress in getting more females into scoring. MLB has some great female scorers (Kara in Arizona and Jillian in Colorado come to mind). We don’t need coaches bullying women and making them not feel like there is a place for them in this great game. #RantOver

I really dislike how the NBC does the Opening Ceremony for the Olympics. I don’t give a shit what Snoop Dog did yesterday. Please show me the entire Parade of Nations. You skipped Spain. You skipped Moldova. You skipped like half the countries.

Quinn Ewers said he had multiple offers from college programs but opted for the NFL instead, because he didn't want to damage any legacy or relationships he built at Texas. He was a lifelong Longhorns fan, which helped him make his decision: "My 10-year-old self wouldn't have transferred away ... I think that's important for these younger kids to take away -- stop being focused on the material things and start building relationships that will last you a lifetime."

You young fellas out there… before you hit that portal bc an “agent” told you XYZ could come your way, tell him to cut you a check and you will happily pay him back when he delivers on the promise. You would be surprised how so many will suddenly stop chirping in your ear
