This virus has been with us since Jan and I’ve studied enough to form my own opinion. I have access to doctors and med. professionals that I trust dearly. My opinion is our young people are being stripped unfairly of opportunities (athl/acad) for almost zero risk. Not right
As a dad I had the awesome opportunity to see sports played all summer. Yes, I let my kids not only play but share hotel rooms with teammates from all over the country. They had a ball. I wouldn’t change it for the world. Didn’t hear of any issues. Our family is thankful.
Out of nowhere one day I got this letter from
@FSUBaseball
coach Mike Martin. I’ve treasured it ever since. It speaks to his class, integrity, and who he is. Don’t know if anyone has given more to our great game. Congrats 11. Incredible!
So next week restaurants are open for some indoor dining-I’m so excited for this.. I just need someone explain to me why baseball outdoors (in the heat)is less safe? Let the kids play!!!
When you invest your life in an occupation there is supposed to be passion and emotion! This isn’t the umpires main occupation. They do their best but it’s a part time gig. It’s the coaches livelihood. Have some feel. This suspension of Scott Forbes is wrong!
@NCAABaseball
He argued under control and logically and he was ejected from the dugout!!! This isn’t right at all. It’s the NCAA tournament and umpires should expect emotions to be high—yet he argued calmly on the field. Sad sad way to handle this considering the importance of the games.
It is incredibly disappointing to have the NCAA confirm a two game suspension for our head baseball coach - yet have no explanation for the call that ultimately led to the suspension.
We must do better for our student-athletes and teams
Question for the
@NCAA
. What advice do you give to a 2022 or 23 HS graduate regarding their desire to be athletically evaluated by a Div 1 institution? I don’t want to hear video cause most coaches will not make a decision on video. These kids deserve opportunity! Plz RT
I believe in the power of prayer. It would be really cool and appreciated if everyone would send one up for one of our players Grant Smith. He’s fighting like crazy and needs every bit of support we can muster.

I was @ the game. Im a dad w/son on the team & also a coach. This suspension is ridiculous and should be fixed before game tom. I witnessed the argument first hand. He was composed and deserved an explanation.Didn’t get one. This is costing kids opportunities & lifelong dreams.
Witnessed some incredible moments on this field—from Super Regional Wins to SEC Championships. Today is the coolest moment—Watching

Moving and packing is difficult on many different fronts. Sometimes you find photos that make you stop and reflect on the memories made of 9 yrs spent in Columbia.
I’ve decided to become a good news tweeter. If I see good and reliable news about this coronavirus I’m tweeting. The media has a way of making people panic. Im gonna go the other direction. Y’all join.
I'm so excited to announce my commitment to play baseball and further my education at the University of North Carolina. So thankful for all the people who helped me along the way. Go Heels!!!
What a sweet moment after that CofC win over Texas..

This virus stinks but good news.—- “Coronavirus deaths in the country have nearly reached a level where the virus will cease to qualify as an epidemic under Centers for Disease Control and Prevention rules, the federal agency reported on Friday.”-bc mortality rates are so low.
College baseball players that aren’t in the portal are “supposed” to be off limits from a recruiting standpoint-what a joke! Curiously, wondering what the penalty is for actively tampering with a player not in the portal?
We have flattened the curve. Our hospitals are good! Protect the vulnerable and the “at risk”. Be safe. Practice social distancing. Wash your hands. Wear masks. And Open Up! Lets go!!
Pathetic. Let’s keep treating the sport like it has no popularity. Limiting roster size and having minimal scholarship amounts is not enough. Lets just keep the ratio of coach to SA the worst in D1 athletics. Let’s keep hammering away at college baseball. Sad/unfair!

1. It’s been a tough 24 hours. 20 years ago today I lost my mom. She was simply the greatest person I’ve ever known. I think of her daily and I was so lucky that the good Lord chose me to be her son. I’ve been so blessed. Blessed beyond belief as a husband, dad, & coach.

Tommy was the best- Loyal, passionate, knowledgeable and he loved his Gamecocks. He treated his friends and family like his most prized possessions. I’m so lucky to have known him and to have been his friend. Thankful for all our conversations over the years. Rest easy Tommy!
I am devastated to learn of the passing of my dear friend Tommy Moody. He was an amazing father, grandfather, friend and colleague. His love of Carolina was immense, but his love for his family was so much greater. We love you Tommy. Thank you for gracing our lives.
I know there is a major league organization out there that needs a catcher that threw out 50% of baserunners, batted 320 with 15 HR. And also has great character and work ethic. Your org will be better if you sign Danny Wondrack

true foxhole guy!
@Wondrack9
It’s time to take a hard look at our high school kids: Due to mental health, depression, missed academic/athletic opportunities, and many missed social and in-person learning experiences the leaders of our schools should allow kids to reclassify without any penalty.
1. 30 kids aren’t on a team actually 15. 2. You don’t have to put them all in the dugout at the same time. 3. Social distancing can be practiced on ath. fields as well. 4. Outdoors is safer. 5. Teenage kids-much less vulnerable. “I’d rather live on my feet than die on my knees”

How bout let the kids play some little league ball? They are outside playing with friends anyway. Their mental well being and fitness have to be considered. Restaurants are open but kids can’t play outside/outdoors? What the heck?
Today was the last team practice on the natural surface at Patriots Point. Lots of special moments have taken place on that dirt! Big changes are coming-it starts Monday
