West Virginia HC Steve Sabins on West Virginia's track record with multiple D2 transfers and what they look for in them: "We've had three Division 2 pitchers in our starting rotation for the last three years. All of those guys, by the way, have become draft picks in their senior year...We probably have a little bit of a soft spot for the guy that shows up here hungry, wanting to get better, maximizes his opportunity, and believes that he hit the jackpot playing at West Virginia." - Steve Sabins WVU Baseball

Oklahoma HC Skip Johnson on being selfless teammates and in life. “And we're trying to teach them in our culture to be selfless, to pick each other up. I mean, it's really what life's about. You think Jesus Christ was selfless? Absolutely. I mean, we live our life for that because of that reason.” “So I think that's the biggest difference. Man, if you can teach those young men to be selfless in a selfish world, is really big to me. It's really big to me. When nobody cares who gets the credit, you can do amazing things. It's pretty amazing. And we're a reflection of those guys not caring.” — Skip Johnson

Here’s the full situation and clip. Kentucky & Texas A&M head coaches (Mingione & Earley) exchanged some heated words back and forth because Kentucky had what’s called a “travel curfew” (does happen sometimes but rare). No new inning could be started after 5:30/4:30 EST/CST. The broadcasters also talking about the situation too. Kentucky, was up 10-5 in the 8th, was clearly stalling and doing whatever they could to not end the inning before 4:30 CST. Earley knows what they're doing and clearly frustrated (and absolutely rightfully so). I hate the travel curfew but do understand it. But baseball is the game you have to play all 9 innings and get 27 outs I believe and this goes against that. Intentionally doing this is just wrong in my mind.

Chair of the D1 Baseball Oversight Committee, Michael Alford, on the Regional format where host teams aren’t always the home team. “You earn that opportunity to host a as an institution and you had a good enough season but then you go in you're one of four…Everyone should have that opportunity to be the home team…It's about maintaining the integrity of the game. You already have an advantage of being able to host with the home crowd.”

🚨 A MUST LISTEN for all amateur ballplayers wanting to play in college. Long but SO MUCH VALUE here! Alabama HC Rob Vaughn on college baseball recruiting and the type of player you truly want in your program, no matter the level. “Our job in college baseball, yes, it's to win games. Yes, it's to develop big leaguers, and yes, it's all the things that we all talk about in recruiting, but more than anything, it's to prepare these kids to be successful for whatever comes next. And man, as good as the talent is in this league, as good as the talent is on this team, not all of them are going to be career big leaguers, you know. And I think what makes Tyler Fay’s journey so awesome, is in a world that is inundated with particularly moms and dads that want your kid to cut and run when when they're not starting every day or they're not playing every day. You see at one end of the equation, you either get the parents are like, ‘Hey man, put your head down to work. We got to get better.’ And you get the parents that feed into the narrative, ‘man, they're not giving you a chance. You got to go. You got to leave.’ the thing about him that makes him so special is regardless of whether Tyler's a 20-year big league or not, that guy's going to be a smashing success in life because when things get hard, he doesn't cut and run. He's not sticking his hand out looking for the next easy way and who's going to pay me more. He’s the I'm going to put my head down. I'm going to work and I'm going to get better.” Guys like him are the exact reason you believe in what you recruit. You believe in makeup, you better hunt makeup because that guy has that in spades. And that's why he deserves every ounce of what he's getting right now.”

Here is every angle of the play, throw, slide, tag, and positioning from Texas catcher, Carson Tinney. What a GUTSY CALL from UGA 3B Coach Brock Bennett, sending Ryan Black home on the tag up that works out. A monumental run for UGA that could be the deciding factor.

Murray State Coach Dan Skirka’s opening statement after the Racers season ends here in the College World Series. Wow. “One of my wife’s favorite movies is ‘A League of Their Own’, they say there is no crying in baseball. You can throw that out the window.” - Dan Skirka 🥹

The bases loaded balk call on Ole Miss’ Hunter Elliott. BAD call. You either call that earlier when he puts the ball up to his ear (to try & hear the pitch com) or not at all. He even did that earlier in the game & it wasn’t called. He also stepped off cleanly once he came set.

North Carolina HC Scott Forbes with a phenomenal answer about the model of excellence and elite consistency of Carolina Baseball. "Someone told me about that sometimes UNC just out-programs you and that's a credit to our players. We do take a lot of pride in how we do things. But when you talk about a program and culture and standards, it's everybody. It's not just the coaches, it's not just the players, it's the support staff, it's the administration, heck it's the chancellor, it's everybody."

North Carolina’s Captains, Gavin Gallaher & Matthew Matthijs, both emotional talking about how special the UNC program is and why every player should want to play there and for this staff. Gallaher: “Yeah, I mean…sorry…yeah, the coaching staff, they're amazing. I mean, that's all I can say about them. If you are a player and you're looking for a place that's going to care for you and they're going to love you, they're going to put you as a person before they put you as a player, they're going to show up every day and they're going to give you their best no matter what their lives off the field look like.” “It's something that, I look around guys I know at other schools, and they don't have the same experience. So I mean, it's truly amazing. It's truly amazing.” Matthijs: “I don't think there's another program out there that has the coaching staff that truly loves every single player as much as that man right there does. He (Coach Scott Forbes) cares about us. He loves us.” “There's no other coaching staff that I would want to play for, spend my four years. I want to say thank you for giving me an opportunity when I was 14 years old. And I've loved every minute. And thank you.”

Watch these two EXACT same ground balls to Wehiwa Aloy vs LSU done differently: Saturday vs LSU: tries to turn the double play (as expected and he should) Wednesday vs LSU: turns and gets the lead runner at 3rd (successful 6-4-3 double play ends & wins the game)

Alyssa Lang asking an important question: “Why are you in danger of being locked in the bathroom?” “I was in the bathroom twice today and I just hear the crowd blow up…I think they’re going to make me sit back there for the rest of the games.” — Josh Pyne Whatever it takes. 🤷🏻♂️😂

North Carolina HC Scott Forbes on what this Tar Heels team means to him. “I couldn't be prouder of a group. I just talked to them in the locker room. We talk all the time about service, about serving one another. I don't tell them this, but I write it down every day for myself, in Galatians 5:13: True service, serving one another through love, humbly in love and how powerful love is. This group loved each other all season. They took us on a ride that was unbelievable. We came up a little bit short. But I would take that ride again every day of the year.” “The thing I'm going to miss the most is just being with them. That's what I'm going to miss the most. Obviously, it gets emotional back there. But I'm thankful, too. I'm thankful that I've been given the opportunity. It's an honor and a privilege to be the head coach at University of North Carolina. I don't take that lightly.”
