Does anyone else have a tradition of watching HBO’s John Adams miniseries every Independence Day?

Yes. Columbus Dispatch and Indy Star redirect to other papers then show an unauthorized error.

Yeah, I know there are options for Pirates fans. Just as a non-fan interested in one game, MLB’s archaic blackout rules strike again. Anything Cleveland and Cincinnati, I totally get but Pittsburgh is just odd. Might as well add Detroit to the market, Comerica is only 4 miles further than PNC.

Wanted to watch Max Meyer pitch against the Pirates. But because I live in Columbus, Ohio I can’t watch it on MLB TV because Columbus is somehow in freaking Pittsburgh’s home market. I forget this stupidity every season.

Wrapped up my stay in Vegas with a look at Basic HS ‘25 SS Tate Southisene. Southisene is no. 21 on @kileymcd.bsky.social’s draft board. Had a two-double game. Flashed his 60 speed and good range up the middle with quick hands and carry on throws. USC-recruit, bit weird that I saw a B1G recruit

Just being a fly on the wall, taking in greatness as @mikeferrin.bsky.social and Mike Rooney are on the call for the Las Vegas College Baseball Classic. Peak Events and @d1baseball.com is streaming the weekend with a field of Illinois, Texas, Texas Tech and Washington.

Say that as I watch Mitch Voit who’s had some solid play this weekend, both in the field and at the plate. Will be interesting to see where he ends up on final draft boards. Chance at first B1G bat after Devin Taylor?

Chris Webb @chrismwebb.bsky.social · 17/02/2025
Seems there been a shift over the last decade in prospecting college second basemen. When I first started covering baseball the prospects of a true 2B were dim. Meant you couldn’t field at a high enough level, bc if so you’d be a SS, and you likely didn’t have the bat to move to the OF. Now not so.

Michigan is in Arlington next week with TCU, Kansas State and Arkansas. A good opportunity to follow up on this weekend with a competitive field, chance to really stake out a strong start to ‘25.

Who doesn’t love 9 am baseball on a Monday? Michigan has looked really good this weekend. Started the Puerto Rico Challenge with a win over No. 2 Virginia. Have pitched, picked and hit throughout.

Based off of your bio, I take it you’re a Nebraskan. Been having a good text convo with Erstad this evening. Excited to see what Bolt does with this outfit of Huskers. Had a scout say he feels Nebraska is the team to beat.

Too many productivity, self-growth books are on how to get a Y by manipulating X. Opposed to does the X even make sense for you and your life? And if so, let X do its thing and let Y fall where it may be. Keep up the great interviews and guests!

Adding it to the list, thanks! And thank you for a great MiB. Went out and grabbed it after the listen. I’ve interviewed and been around hundreds of college and professional baseball coaches and players. You guys were spot on in how they teach process over outcome.

I know football drives TV rights, but I think it’s quite the feat for the Big Ten to have basketball games on CBS, FOX and NBC simultaneously.

With Oregon, Nebraska and Indiana all ranked, I wondered if there were teams that had all three on their conference schedule. First school I looked at was Iowa, and yep, the Hawkeyes do, and to boot their bye week is vs. Oregon State. Sheesh.

A few things jumped out: All four jrs drafts were at the same school throughout. It’s nice when your elite talent stays. But then Clemson snagged the top two OPSing Fr. Purdue was heavy on transfer productive, 7 in top 50, 6 were transfers. Indiana not so, only 1/9 w/ 150 < ABs was a transfer.

Can’t believe it’s already been 10 years since Jay went sixth overall out of Illinois. The 2015 Big Ten Tournament at Target Field, which had Maryland in its first B1G season and future big leaguers Lowe and Wade, was as packaged with scouts as any scene I’ve seen in the north.

On Oregon State, @joehealyd1.bsky.social had a great look at how the consensus preseason top 10 team built its schedule as an independent. They travel to Iowa, Nebraska and Oregon this season for series, and have a total of 16 games vs. nine B1G teams on the docket. d1baseball.com/stories/how-...

Not surprisingly, but still a bit of a bummer, with the Big Ten moving to a 30-game conference slate from 24, the number of weekend series vs. Power Conference opponents has noticeably dropped. It would be next to nil if not including Oregon State & Washington St. www.webbslogs.com/2025/01/big-...

@keithlaw.bsky.social I’ve been off the prospect beat for a few years now, but kept some tabs on Emerson being an hour away. I knew you liked him, but seems he’s been a pleasant surprise. Is it a case of a northern bat that was hard to get looks on, the looks were off a tick or he’s changed a bit?
