One of the most inspiring things I’ve seen by a journalist. Always been a fan of Dan Orlovsky, but seeing him have the faith and the courage to share his faith through prayer on national television was pretty special. Motivates me to be better about sharing my faith.
Huge shoutout to
@LorasBaseball
(Dlll) for defeating University of Iowa (Dl) 3-1. Incredible pitching tonight by the Duhawks who kept the Hawkeyes scoreless until the bottom of the ninth inning.
A perfect reminder that there’s a ton of talent at all levels of college baseball.

Thankful for, and proud of these dudes. Never seen a group work so hard. They brought the juice all season long, and nothing can take away the work that they put in. Big things ahead for all of these Duhawks!
Despite this clip and others circulating the internet today, I would like to clarify that I am not retiring! Appreciate the support from the guys on the Pat McAfee show and excited for the rest of the fall season and spring 2025!

The weekly goal for our pitching staff is a 3:1 strikeout to walk ratio.
Each walk that makes us below 3:1 = 1 flight of stairs on Monday
Last week we were 3.5:1 which means a celebratory pitching staff elevator ride for not needing to run stairs this week 🎉

Congrats to the OF squad! So thankful I could be a small part of your 4 years at Loras. You guys taught me so much as a coach and I’m thankful for your leadership and friendship! You made this program better and I know you’ll all do big things.

The pandemic was tough on everyone... including our visitor bullpen this summer. Check out these before and after pictures. Petrakis is ready for some visitors.
Did you miss my Illinois recruiting tweets? Took some time to watch the tail end of the Iowa HS season and now back in IL to find more future Duhawks! This time in Romeoville, IL.
Special 5 years with these 3! You guys will always hold a special place in my heart. Hard to see you go, but I know all three of you will do amazing things. Congrats on all you’ve accomplished, and thanks for all you’ve done to make this program better! Happy graduation day 👨🎓
