Pro tip for baseball fans,
If you go watch a minor league game this year, bring a $10-$25 Chipotle gift card with you, and give it to a minor leaguer.
That player won’t forget it for a long time and he’s probably gonna hook you up with a signed ball or two as well.

After hanging up my cleats in 2016 I didn’t touch a baseball for over 2 years and completely let myself go.
Then I picked up a ball for the first time on October 11 2018 n threw 70poo.
Here’s my 14 month journey since then.

“This isn’t about some goddamn game, this is about our lives” is the type of energy that I can get behind 24/7 365 days.

Dear ESPN,
This is not just a catcher caught a runner stealing.
This is a catcher that threw from his knees to throw runner out while popping a legit 1.85 pop time unlike them fake High School showcase pop times, then he pimped it after.
Give this man the credit he deserves.
The catcher caught a runner stealing to beat the No. 2 team in the country.
EVERYONE in the infield lost it 🤣 (via @olemissbsb, @secnetwork)

The new league will consist of:
•Juiced balls
•BESR bats
•Fights allowed
•95+mph only pitchers allowed
•No bunts allowed
•You cheat you die
•Pay starts at least minimum wage unlike minor leagues

Every baseball player of my generation grew up doing Kobe impressions in the cage while picking up baseballs trying to sink them in the bucket.

Some things in baseball just don’t work together period like,

No reason.
They just don’t work together.

XFL of baseball:

•Fights allowed
•No bunts allowed
•U cheat, u die
•Pay starts at least minimum wage
•Must pimp everything or get fined
•Beer price is half of MLB
•Any fans say “homeruns kill rallies” get banned

G hack foul, take painted 98mph for strike, take painted hammer for a ball, take 98mph in for a ball, foul off 98mph high heat, foul bomb 99mph heater out of the stadium, homer off 99mph heater dead center.

*Losses of 1st and 2nd round draft picks in both 2020 and ‘21.

If the ball crosses home plate as a strike, the pitch should be called a strike.
Don’t matter whether catcher is setting up inside, outside, laying down with a pina colada.
If the pitch crosses strike zone, it’s a damn strike.
So the umpire should be ejected, not the catcher.
For anyone who missed it, here is video of Quinnipiac’s catcher getting ejected today in the bottom of the 9th against Mississippi State

I’d pay good amount of money to watch,

•G Cole & T Bauer try to longtoss 400ft

•T Turner & B Buxton try to steal 2nd under 3 seconds

In baseball, ibuprofen is actually referred as I Be Playin.
Baseball players can’t live without ibuprofen.
Baseball players also can’t live without energy drinks.

I threw out 42% of the base runners in my career.
Gave up 130 stolen bases & caught 96.
I also had 191 assists cuz I back picked a lot.
I threw out more runners than a lot of catchers in pro ball and my pop time was 1.85-1.9 consistently.
You ain’t popping 1.80 in HS.

Just an idea,
I get upto throwing 95+mph, learn 69 pitches from @PitchingNinja ‘s dropbox, then face big leaguers during their offseason cuz they need to see velo anyways n make a bet, if I win they donate to help minor leaguers, if I lose whatever still donate.

He said “Bet me and lose dumb ass.”
RT if u think Dave will win.
Like if u think I will win.
All good hitters can hit a 94, 96 mph fastball its straight!!! Give me a pitcher that is upper 80'sand low 90's that keeps hitter off balance with a change up any day!! Must keep hitters off balance!!!!

There are 4 types of killers on the mound,
1. Serial killer like Max Scherzer
