Imagine: you’re 6 years old. Thanksgiving weekend. The whole family came into town and you had a great time playing with your cousins. Uncle Pete surprised you all with some tickets to the UK/UL football game. Dad takes you out to eat at KSBar before the game. You’re wearing your brand new UK...

I’ve been hearing one name to replace Vince Marrow: you guessed it, Horatio sanz

Can’t believe Horatio Sanz just caught a stray in GYERO

idk uko at all. I’ve never met the guy. But he really DOES have the most *** opinions on every single topic. I’ve never really agreed with anything this guy has said ever in his life. Nobody chooses a McDonald’s for aesthetics?? Are you insane? It’s maybe the most important factor. Big...

HS baseball season ended for us last night. Made the regional finals. My son was the starting 1B for the entire post season. Got to play on a college field with an FM radio broadcast. Biggest crowd he’s ever played in front of. Being coached by 2 former big leaguers. Wish they would’ve got the W...

We literally went to Panama City a few years ago and played a team from nicholasville. Nobody is denying it’s a racket. But it’s a FUN racket most of the time Spending the weekend at some podunk ballpark, playing the same teams you played last week, getting sunburned while shittalking with the...

People always go to “the next HS star that can bypass college”. No **** that kid doesn’t need to do anything special. But for the kids looking at getting a low D1, D2 or NAIA offer, those will come more from travel teams/college camps/Showcase events than hs can provide.

I also think people are too quick to say “it’s for the parents”. Definitely sometimes, but not always. Most of the kids I know worship playing baseball all the time. They wouldn’t have it any other way. We started travel ball at 10, which some may consider too young, but it worked for us. If my...

There are parts of the state where travel ball is the better option if you have a talented player. Leagues in rural areas basically don’t exist. Lexington has 3 of the best rec leagues in the state. If you live in that area, I highly suggest playing in one of those. Travel ball is great for...

I started posting right before my oldest was born, around 16 years ago. My username is a faux nickname for him, as many of you have figured out. Probably need to change it as I’ve had 3 more since then. It does blow my mind how long ago that was but how short it feels.

Popes biggest issue this year will be the number of quality players. Managing players (and parents) egos is going to be key.

I mean as I posted yesterday I was happy to have him on the roster but he wasn’t going to play. I understand his decision. Dude is a basketball player and wants to play basketball. Hopefully he finds a good landing spot.

I will gladly take a Kentucky kid who scored 17,000 points in high school as our 12th man as opposed to the son of some buddy John calipari knew from Seersucker, Connecticut who paid for his annual Dunkin’ Donuts tab when he coached the Nets

I mean 3/5 starters is basically an entire team for John calipari imo

It’s the right decision for all of them but it’s still frustrating to see calipari retain basically an entire team for the first time in 18 years once he leaves Kentucky. Guess the Kentucky effect is real ?? Penelope Road is my new favorite “underground” band. They’re getting pretty big on IG...
