I bet he gets the week off personally, but I also think he's fine after that.

I think we start him against Texas Southern to see where he is and let him have a very short outing and go from there assuming all is well. Total guess on my part.

Playing basketball helps baseball players be a better athlete.
I totally agreed with what he had to say. This isn’t about JT, it’s about parents.
I think there is good/bad with travel ball. I think there needs to be some heavy restrictions that go with it. It's a catch-22 because those AB's/IP's all help with development as well. I agree that playing other sports helps baseball players become better players.
