people say everything happens for a reason; but Payton, Nate, Arno, Alex, Dan, & Pat lost their senior seasons due to nothing that they could have prevented. things don’t happen for a reason; they just happen; life is 10% what happens and 90% how you react. It’s what you do next!
I’m proud to announce I have accepted a full-time Assistant Coach position at Division 2 Emory and Henry College!
I can’t thank
@DuPageBaseball
enough for giving me the opportunity to grow as a coach at the next level.
THANK YOU to my family and mentors for all their support!
Ranks 7th all time in stolen bases, 8th all time in RBI, 5th all time in HR. All despite his Sophomore season being cancelled and his Junior season being abbreviated. 53 RBI this season are the 2nd most ever by a Maroon! What a Player! Even better Teammate!
Best is still yet to come! 2022 Pre-Season All American with some playing days still ahead of him. Outstanding ball player but will make an even better Coach judging by his character and work ethic!

It has been a dream of mine to work in an MLB front office since I was a little kid. I cannot wait to turn that dream into a reality. I am thrilled to announce that I will be joining the Philadelphia Phillies this summer as a Quantitative Analyst Associate.

Seeing a lot of sox fans really upset over this hire... what has Tony LaRussa ever done to make you think he won’t make us better? He’s been a winner everywhere he’s been. His age can not be your argument when he’s the same age as whoever you voted for to be President
THANK YOU to the nurses, techs, doctors, nurse practitioners, and chaplain in the Cancer Center, ER, and Heart Hospital

!!! One of the countless lives you saved today was my Best Buddy in the whole world!!!
Yesterday was the last day that these two incredible and unforgettable young men put on a Maroon Uniform. The positive impact they’ve had on their teammates and this program will be felt forever. Thank you Carson and Brett for everything you’ve done for this program!
I can honestly say I’ve never coached a better hitter! Seen him in over 500 at-bats and I still wouldn’t be able to tell a pitcher how to get him out! Flat Out Masher!

has learned. Jandron spent the last five seasons on Jordan Bischel's staff at Central Michigan.
The Sox signed a minor free agent just now. He won’t help the pennant chase and he can’t hit or even pitch anymore. It makes me very happy to announce that Jason has a partner for multiple years and our twitter war can continue unabated. I’m aboard for the great years ahead

To find out how good a coach really is, see how his or her players are doing 10-20 years down the road. The best coaches help their players succeed in life beyond sports.
Heaven just got a heck of a pitcher and an even better man/father/husband. We miss you down here but we know you’re pain free now and reunited with your brother Victor. I’m sure he and Irish welcomed you with open arms! Rest In Peace my man!!!

Congrats to Cam Bailey on his commitment to Emory and Henry College. The wasps are getting a very good ball player, a solid catcher and an even better person.

“Usually” would indicate that this is the case much more often than not (which makes this statement pretty misleading). Although I learned what “usually” means in school so who knows if that’s even true?

Haven’t heard from the Tony LaRussa haters in a while... we’ve got Danny Mendick, Billy Hamilton and Leury Garcia starting in our outfield and have the best record in baseball... you mad bro?
I hope we don’t vilify Justin Fields when we still can’t win games due to a lack of pass protection and poor play calling... Mitch didn’t deserve that either... it wasn’t his fault we traded a king’s ransom to move up 1 pick (when we didn’t have to), only to pick the wrong guy
Still appreciate

bringing me in as his broadcast intern w/
@NWIOilmen
as a high school junior in 2012. Not only am I still calling games there 9 seasons later, but it helped set the stage for eveything I’ve done since including my eventual full-time career as an SID.
@Super70sSports
Does anyone besides ice cube keep track of their stats when playing basketball at the park? Last week messed around and got a triple double... so he’s loggin dimes and boards along with his points in his head the whole game? I’m skeptical...
@thedunc27
2 things:
1. I know better than to waste my time arguing Sox baseball with a Cubs fan (my gripe is not with you Dunc)
2. Tony LaRussa is the manager of the team I root for... my gripe is with Sox fans who hate him so much that they’re happier when we lose so they can blame him
