MLB ABS 101: A Visual Guide to the New Automated Ball-Strike Challenge System. When is the best time to challenge a ball/strike? Also, what Milwaukee was doing during spring training by putting up a card on the dugout fence earned them a slap from the league office. The rule states that only a player can challenge a call, but MLB viewed the cards that Milwaukee was using as instructions from the coaching staff. Of course, it wasn't a specific instruction to challenge the latest call, but rather it was just letting the batter know that it was a good time to challenge if the batter thought it should be done.

WNBA and players reached a historic deal. Here’s what needs to happen next: After more than 100 hours of negotiations the past few weeks, the WNBA and players union agreed to terms of a new CBA. The salary cap surges from $1.5 million to $7 million, with average player salaries jumping from $120,000 to $600,000. Revenue sharing, the central point of contention, was settled at about 20% of overall league revenue throughout the new multi-year deal.

Tim Kurkjian predicts MLB work stoppage is coming: The signing of Kyle Tucker by the Los Angeles Dodgers may have been the final straw for many on the path towards a work stoppage in Major League Baseball...Tucker is yet another free agent that the Dodgers were able to sign to a nine-figure deal, furthering the divide between the haves and the have-nots in the sport. And while the Dodgers are in their own stratosphere of spending, even compared to heavy hitters like the Mets, Yankees, and Red Sox, the gap to the bottom half of the Major Leagues in payroll is becoming astronomical. The Dodgers will pay more in luxury tax in 2026 than 11 MLB teams will spend on their entire roster.

Need to get some of that sweet sweet Schmucks family money in there as well!

All Schertz has ever done as a head coach is win, so you have to think that a big school with very deep pockets will come a callin eventually. My guess is Mark Cuban wanting to do to the basketball program what he did with the football program there in Indiana. But who knows!

Rest easy ufez, ya boy will not be poached by NC State. Apparently his buyout is pretty large and kind of complicated. State goes with their old point guard, Justin Gainey.

I'll take one of everything, please.

And my UNC insider(ish) told me this when I asked their search:
Not much. It's been the same 3-4 since the beginning but nothing concrete. Lloyd, Dusty May, Donovan. Some others swear they aren't leaving their school, but have reached out to UNC anyway ... Funny how that works ... . But other than knowing that Donovan would want the job just not sure he's #1 on UNC's list ... the others are hard to nail down. Hard to tell if they're just wrangling for a raise and if UNC is really interested. The basketball side does a decent job of keeping their mouth shut so it's hard to gauge where things are right now. They had a ton of interest but other than being able to narrow down 4-5 guys, it's been fairly quiet. Donovan has made it no secret ... since the job first opened when Roy retired ... that the UNC job is the only one he would leave the NBA for, just not sure how interested UNC is at this point. I have been busy the last couple nights so I haven't gotten an update since Wednesday.

I have a friend here that is from a family that has very deep Raleigh and Wolfpack athletics roots that said this about my question regarding Justin Gainey:
Gainey has never been a head coach, which invites some concerns but yeah ... culturally you couldn't find a better fit. And there's some who have told me that Boo was pushing him last year. He'll be involved in the process, and apparently Corrigan is at least asking about St Louis coach Josh Schertz, who is one of the better offensive minds in college. I've seen Phil Martelli Jr's name floating around too. Those are both solid guys who have won at lower levels, although Shertz has more experience. I like the Furman coach Bob Richey as well. Another solid coach who has stuck it out through some tough circumstances to build a winner at a not so easy place to win.

McMahon has an $8 million buyout. Governor Landry is gonna love that.
Plus, they owe State $4 million for poaching Wade.
Hurricanes coach Rod Brin'Amour weighed in with his thoughts on the Will Wade situation. Disclosure: Brindy married into Wolfpack basketball royalty.

Aww, Rogers! I'm so sorry for your loss. And as someone who was a full time (and job searching) caretaker of our (then) suicidal daughter, I know how emotionally, mentally, and physically exhausting that is.Go full on Duval County for a while.

Wade's agent sent in the resignation for him. So pathetic.

Don't be surprised if Will Wade goes back to LSU soon. Link to Threads with a couple of long time Triangle sports yappers.

And Hubert is gone. It's hard to believe that the Dean era is more than likely done.

Jomboy has a video talking about the Bucknor game.
Lindsey asks a good question regarding this new system: what is the margin of error? There's got to be one.
