Tired: āhit the ball the other wayā
Wired: ābackside ground ballsā
"I got to Spring [Training] and first thing Murph says is 'you're going to bunt and you're going to hit backside ground balls.'"
David Hamilton talks about "buying in" as a member of the @Brewers.

Some notes on Rice:
First off, this Rice team has David Pierceās no nonsense old school dirt bag feel all over it. Much like at Texas, his team is clean cut, uniform and hungry. They brought a ton of juice
Zachary Daigre was the star of the show at the top of the lineup. Long ABās, stealing bases is just what you want out of the leadoff guy.
Hiram Bochachia Jr is a STUD and could win a gold glove this season.
Michael Zito is still pushing for playing time. Loved his ABās tonight
Staff did a great job attacking hitters. Really fearless against a formidable lineup.

BREAKING: Rice Athletics has announced a 20-year naming rights deal with First Community Credit Union.
First Community Stadium will be the new home of Rice football.
Wish I could retweet this a million times.
Data analysis is a tool that increases your chances of winning, in the same way that signing a 50-HR slugger or 2.50-ERA pitcher increases your chances of winning.
Traditional and analytical processes can (and should) work in tandem.
Feels like a good time to quote tweet this. There has been a lot of anti-analytics discourse on social media tonight from people who couldnāt even tell you how analytics are used in baseball today.

Head coach Scott Abell mentioned that he rotated personnel to overcome conditioning concerns that stemmed from practicing inside for part of the summer. He didn't mention Jackson specifically, but the following quote was in reference to QBs/RBs, and perhaps some other positions:
Rice used Jackson in the slot for the first three drives, but when that resulted in zero touches, he returned to the backfield.
Abell said 10 touches is "right at the minimum" of what they want for Jackson. With that said, Hardeman and Byars have earned themselves a role, too.
An important update on Quinton Jackson, who was clearly in pain after scoring his second touchdown Saturday. xitter.cf/AtTheRoost/status/2097ā¦
.@RiceFootball head coach Scott Abell says slot Quinton Jackson suffered a "pretty significant" injury against Houston Christian.

Rice rushed for 465 yards during today's 31-3 win over HCU.
That's the most rushing yards @RiceFootball has recorded in a single game since October 9, 2004.
