Nearly 10 years ago I started my college journey in this very building. The road hasn’t been straight or easy and it’s taken me places 17 year old me couldn’t have imagined through plenty of trial and tribulation. Wouldn’t change a thing.

Harry Brook was struck out by Cole Hamels 6 years removed from being a pro

The cricket vs baseball thing is so funny. Harry Brook hits a homer off the worlds best pitcher before the worlds best hitter survives 6 balls from Jofra Archer, Jasprit Bumrah or Mitchell Starc. Simple as that.

Robert Gasser has made all three of his starts on the road this postseason. He saved his best for last with 6 shutout innings against the best team in the AL. What lessons did he take from SD and LA? “Learned I didn’t have to press or be more than I am”

This one kills me everytime it pops up on my timeline. This is a very standard catch and it’s a highlight 🤣🤣

No "baseball" player is capable of doing this. They need a "glove" to catch a ball which is softer than a cricket ball and is hit way slower.💀
Community note
Baseball players have made numerous barehanded and one-handed catches in MLB games. Baseballs exit the bat at much higher speeds than struck cricket balls; cricket balls are harder and heavier. mlb.com/news/greatest-… theroar.com.au/2021/11/19/cri… diffen.com/difference/Bas… sportscentaur.com/cricket-ball-v…

Lol Cricketers Can Easily Become Baseball Players.Playing Baseball Is A Cakewalk For Cricketers.Few Months Ago,Star England Cricketer Liam Plunkett Who Is 41 Now,Made His Professional Baseball Debut And Dismissed One Of The Best Hitters Of The League Without Even Breaking A Sweat
Community note
Missing context: These 5 pitches were Liam Plunkett's only throws as part of a "marketing player" stunt, and he has not made any appearances since. The Pioneer Baseball League (where this took place) is in the lowest tier of organized pro baseball in the United States. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioneer_B… baseball-reference.com/register/playe… bbc.com/sport/articles…

The @snapbacksports x Sam Houston sponsorship will be taught in Business Schools for years to come. The power of branding made me care about Sam Houston.

Baylor would be an upgrade for Jeff Traylor. But if he leaves UTSA for Baylor, he’s likely leaving Baylor for a better job down the road.

No hate to baseball, but I feel like people underestimate how difficult professional cricket actually is. Cricket has 3 formats, each demanding a different skill set. In Test cricket, you're facing 145+ km/h deliveries from Bumrah, Starc or Jofra Archer, dealing with swing, seam, bouncers and world-class spinners like Ashwin and Lyon. You have to judge movement, defend your stumps, avoid LBW, survive for hours AND score runs. One mistake can cost you your wicket. And that's just batting. Bowlers have to master line, length, variations and control while delivering long spells without losing accuracy. Cricket isn't just about hitting a ball. There's a ridiculous amount of skill, technique, patience and tactical thinking involved. If you really want to understand the level of international cricket, watch a Test match and pay attention to what Bumrah, Starc or Archer do with the ball.
