So, basketball players can come back on campus and practice the pick and roll, but I can’t sit 10 feet from the next coach and evaluate a student-athlete? Got it
@NCAA
REALLY appreciate the
@NCAA
(and I’m sure multiple conferences) releasing their statements via twitter before coaches have a chance to talk to their teams. Not like we’ve built personal relationships with any of these kids. If you don’t tweet/post it, it doesn’t count, right?!
Ecstatic to welcome Tessa Vivian Barese to our family. 8lbs 9oz & 20” long. To say Mom was incredible would be a massive understatement. Everyone is happy, healthy, and resting comfortably!!!
At the beginning of the fall my players came to me with a request: We typically travel in suits when we fly. Is there any way I would reconsider the policy? I told them the best semester GPA we have ever had was a 3.25, if they beat that, we can travel in polos and khakis.
So many pics of people refusing to social distance. 2 types of people rn: People that buy in, & people who won’t for WHATEVER reason. The people who won’t need to FIO that your local & fed gov’t don’t care what you think. Either buy in or get ready to stay inside all summer.
There’s a LOT to be proud of with
@merrimackbsb
this season. What I’m most proud of is 36 guys who put their teammates ahead of themselves & made sure we played a meaningful season. No “stoppages” no “pauses” just a full season of guys grinding to try & win every game.

Such an exciting day for
@MerrimackBSB
and
@MC_Athletics
as a whole. Still plenty of unfinished business to take care of this year, but big things are coming!!!
3.30 team GPA. 27 players with a 3.0 or better - 5 with a perfect 4.0. Adversity is just another opportunity to be successful!

@MerrimackBSB
Challenging times for everyone, including the SA's I coach. Remote learning, a lost season, a lot of adversity. Despite all that - an INCREDIBLE semester academically. They earned a 3.42 team GPA, 24 players w/ a 3.0 or better. 6 earned a perfect 4.0.

Best part of tonight’s win (outside of our team being the most mentally tough group I’ve ever coached), was the support from so many
@MerrimackBSB
alumni,
@MerrimackMIH
,
@MerrimackWLAX
, and the entire Warrior Baseball family.

was in full effect tonight.
Special guest in the crowd last night!!! Honored to present Dr. Warren Kay with the game ball after a great win! Such a big supporter of

Greatest accomplishment this season has nothing to do with conference championships. It has everything to do with diplomas. Congratulations to

seniors and all

senior student-athletes.

When your plane departs at 2:35pm. You play a doubleheader. Check in to your hotel at 2:30am. Having support from our parents who travel to see us is what makes days like this worth it. Thank you to the best parents in the country.

I’ve been a player and a coach in this conference going on 15 years, and I could not be more proud of that. Special year for

and a special year for the
@TheNortheast10
Feels like I say this every year, but despite some new challenges the last 18 months,
@MerrimackBSB
had one of its best semesters in the classroom!
3.42 team GPA
28 players w/ a 3.0 or higher (new record)
7 players with a PERFECT 4.0

Definitely excited to start the Division I era of

tomorrow - but even MORE excited we’ve already reached our initial goal with
@Vs_Cancer
! Still plenty of time to donate...pretty sure we can get to $10K!
Cannot say enough good things about
@LimestoneSaints
and their athletic department. Bending over backwards to play a double header ending at 2:30 in the morning. Your efforts are greatly appreciated. Thanks for helping the boys play some baseball.
PITCHERS: so much of your success lies with the intent behind your pitches. Every pitch you throw should have your best intent behind it. Even your off-speed stuff is thrown aggressively. A great way to learn intent? Long toss. It’s impossible to throw a ball 150’-plus passively.
At the beginning of the fall my players came to me with a request: We typically travel in suits when we fly. Is there any way I would reconsider the policy? I told them the best semester GPA we have ever had was a 3.25, if they beat that, we can travel in polos and khakis.
Cannot thank the Villella family enough for opening up their home to us. Means so much to have that kind of hospitality and an INCREDIBLE meal so far from home. Nothing better than baseball and a BBQ.
Huge thank you to all who made today’s
@MerrimackBSB
golf outing such a success. To see this event grow the way it has is a testament to the support for Warrior Baseball. No matter what - our family continues to grow and the student-athletes are the ones who benefit. GO WARRIORS.
Oh, and
@NCAA
maybe rethink your arbitrary 4 year post season ban when you jump up from DII to DI. I think some of
@MC_Athletics
teams have earned the right to compete in the postseason.
There’s a LOT to be proud of with

Hands down one of the greatest and most consistent hitters this program has ever seen. What’s more impressive is that he’s an even better person. WELL DESERVED MATTY RO!
With that last hit, our very own Matthew Ronai has amounted 200 career hits! He is only the 6th player in Merrimack Baseball history to do so! Congratulations Matty, well deserved!
After some time 2 reflect, guys showed resolve yesterday. Start the day w classes, get on plane, show up & play 2 dhers, (both go into extras), pull out win G2 (after walk off loss in G1) shows mental toughness. Plenty of mistakes to clean up. Plenty of positives. 2018 underway!
SHUMSKI TATTOOS ONE TO LEFT CENTER FIELD. ONE RUN SCORES. ANOTHER COMING AROUND, HE SCORES. AND HABA COMING AL THE WAY FROM FIRST HE SCORES. A BASES CLEARING 2-BAGGA AND THE WARRIORS HAVE TAKEN WHAT IS OURS. THE LEAD. 12-11 MC lead now. ATTA BOY CHUMMAAAAA🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

@MLB
is about to waste the best chance the sport has had in a long time. 1st sport back will generate huge interest, instead they are headed towards a work stoppage, during a pandemic, b/c owners are greedy &
@MLB_PLAYERS
stand in the way of EVERY change to improve the game.
98% of my feed (related to baseball) is video of MLB guys’ mechanics - how they swing/pitch & how it will help young plyrs. Not nearly enough on most basic tool to get better, strength training. Want more batspeed/velo? Get stronger. Mechanics mean nothing if you’re not strong.
You know how I know officials DESPERATELY want to be a part of the game? How much emotion they show on important calls. In every sport. It’s all the same. Just make the call, without emotion. Do your job. No one is impressed with your viscous offensive foul call.
Still spots open for our MLK Day camp!
Come be showcase your skills in front of the River Hawk coaching staff!

Cannot say enough about the work

does, it's been a privilege to work with them. Any coach out there looking to make an impact with their team, there's no better group to partner up with.

The Boys don’t quit babyyyyy LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Winning this bad boy in extras, some free baseball means some extra stat padding for the boys as we get the bats rolling in the 10th inning and hang 4 runs to seal the deal. Hell ya
Fall ‘18 semester - 3.31 team GPA ✅
24 of 33 players over a 3.0 GPA - ✅
17 STRAIGHT semesters of a team GPA above 3.0 and our best semester since 2010!!!
#studentathlete
Watching Lebron rip his head coach AGAIN in the middle of a game, in front of his entire team, is insane. Coaches are always told (and we don’t always get it right) to never show up players in public. But this guy makes a habit of showing up his own coach in front of everyone.
Thrilled to continue representing

But you all can keep doing you. No masks, no social distancing. Don’t worry about it. Prove your point! No one will infringe on your freedoms! It’s no worse than the flu! All good, biggest sport in the country is about to shut down. Blame the media. Blame whoever. You’re right.
Sources: Attempts to salvage the fall 2020 college football season are all but over. “It’s gotten to a critical stage," one told SI. "I think all of us will be meeting with our boards in the coming days. We have work to do that is no fun.”
