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.

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)

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.
