Man, I wish baseball had this sort of a free pass with Umpires. Hurley is a lunatic and I love it.

@AriasDFAtracker @browns2211 Cut Arias, put Rocchio at SS, and hmmmm. Is there is a 2B prospect available in the minors?

Yes and if his batting average was my BAC I wouldn’t even be considered legally intoxicated

'27 @jacknelson002 | @USbsbl
Really good looking uncommitted '27 OF. Very quick hands with a swing that generates a ton of gap power.
Smoked 2 doubles in Sundays game vs Nordonia

3/4 with a HR in his 1st game of the season
+ defender at SS with elite bat to ball skills that make him one of the best INF in the country

If this loser touched one of my players, I would have happily given him one hell of a beating.

Serious question for H.S. coaches:
You need ONE win to make the state playoffs.
Who are you starting?
90+ with control issues (probably walking 6)
or
80–82, 3 pitches for strikes, no walks—but might get hit?
No wrong answer here.

@CoachSwit You would need to flip football to the spring.

High School Baseball in the Northeast
Has anyone thought about HS Baseball in the Fall then Spring?
April 35–45° vs fall 60–70° isn’t close.
• Arms not rushed
• Better early games
• Higher quality
• Less injury risk
Wouldn’t Fall be better? Thoughts?

Parents — if you’re questioning every decision at home and in the stands, don’t be surprised when your son stops being coachable.
What they hear from you becomes their mindset.
Support the team. Don’t root against another player just so your son gets a shot.

@M_Gerber17 Once the season starts I tell hitters “your swing is your swing” Every conversation after that is approach. Hunting our pitch early, looking to do damage gap to gap. Understanding the arm we are facing. A ball in play with 2 strikes is always better than a backwards K.
English
Hot take: most amateur hitters and their coaches focus on mechanics, thinking magic can be sprinkled and outcomes will change. Mechanics matter for sure but let’s talk about timing and pitch selection before we make wholesale swing changes!

@BlazinCobra21 @JLucroy20 Ok. Here is the secret. Get a propeller from a prop plane. Put on jeans and some old man new balance shoes. Stand on your back leg and balance like a flamingo, while holding the propeller. Hinge your hip backward, point your shoulders to the sky. Swing away. Aaron Judge approved.

@JLucroy20 As a coach the Catcher Pop is the function that I struggle with. We all have something to work on. Glad to see it it happens to the best of the best hitters in the world too. Please post if you find something that works.

2 of the hardest things to do as a coach.
8U coach pitcher (my current job)
And hitting fungo pop ups to my catchers.
I had ONE coach in pro ball that was legit at it. ONE.
Aaron Horinek@ahorinek
@CoachSwit I can hit a perfect round of fungo then it’s time to hit the pop fly to the catcher. 🤣

You get one swing to hit a home run for $1 million. Which bat are you choosing?
