Instagram post from former player Nicole Baxter following the appearance of her former teammate on a conservative news network this morning.

It reflects what others probably feel: have the conversation internally, not in a way that explicitly opens up players to abuse - that’s inexcusable.

Black owned farms make up less than 2% of all farmers. Many don't have access to the same loans/resources as White farmers. Many had to resort to selling off land between 1910 and 2007, resulting in a loss of 80% of black owned farmland.

Thrilled to announce I will be joining the Chicago Cubs organization as a mindset and development coach.

Thank you to the Cincinnati Reds, who gave me my first job in professional baseball, for a beautiful two years. Looking forward to seeing you continue to grow.

Ever try the old Ben Hines drill?

Machine set up off the mound to the opposite-field side.

Makes you let the ball travel, stay inside it, work on top, and own the outer half.

Goal: drive doubles to the oppo gap.

The older you get, the harder it is to improve bat speed, coordination, command, and athleticism.

If you want to play at the next level, whatever that is for you, attack those areas while you're young and you can still make big gains.

And don’t neglect the mental side. It's just as important.

Tina Charles said on Sue Bird’s podcast recently that play in the W has gotten LESS physical than it used to be. And the idea that physicality in the women’s game needs to be reigned in is rooted in very old sexist tropes that said women shouldn’t play sports bc they are too weak to do so. /fin

Hooray for the Cincinnati Reds manager Terry Francona for winning his 2000th game. He's also won two World Championships with the Boston Red Sox. May he win a World Series with the Reds and become the 4th manager to win the WS in both leagues. #Reds #RedLegs #RedsNation #Tito2K @Reds.com
