James Dolan went full fire-and-brimstone back in April, delivering a speech to his Knicks before the playoffs that implored every player to leave nothing on the table over a ten-week stretch. It was a rare moment of raw ownership passion, and now that the season is behind them, that speech is making headlines all over again.
Shifting to the diamond, the Arizona Diamondbacks made a roster move Monday, optioning outfielder Ryan Waldschmidt down to Triple-A Reno. General manager Mike Hazen was candid about it — the at-bats had dried up at the big league level, and Waldschmidt's production had slipped. The silver lining for Arizona is Lourdes Gurriel Junior returning from the injured list the same day, giving the outfield a much-needed boost.
And over in Omaha, it is an SEC showdown at the College World Series as Oklahoma and Georgia square off in the winner's bracket Monday night. One team advances with momentum, the other gets pushed to the brink of elimination. High stakes, big programs, and the kind of pressure that defines what college baseball is all about in June.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
