Drop whatever you’re doing, folks If you love hearing expert-level game-within-a-game breakdowns from some of baseball’s most cerebral geniuses, here’s a terrific one from 2007 Cy Young Award winner Jake Peavy on how he manipulated umpires’ strike zones
Reminds me of this Barry Bonds and Greg Maddux, operating on another plane of reality where the complexities of baseball and chess are just second nature, talk about this stuff as though it’s completely obvious to everyone and they aren’t 100th-percentile baseball geniuses

Takeaways from #Mizzou's 6-2 victory against the SEMO Redhawks: -Funny how a tiny bit of power makes an offense look better? Tigers still struggled offensively, tallying for 12 strikeouts (5 looking). But two home runs make things seem somewhat better. #MizzouNOW

I remember the last time @MizzouBaseball played the Mules was in 2000. CMSU head coach Brad Hill took advantage of a defensive weakness and had his batters bunt to third repeatedly in the early innings. MU won 12-8 mutigers.com/news/2000/03/28…

Takeaways from #Mizzou's 3-3 tie with the Central Missouri Mules: -Offensive issues have plagued the team early this fall ball season. The Tigers only recorded 4 hits and struck out 13 times against a *really good* D2 program. #MizzouNOW
