@mets_pobo I listen to Evan and Tiki (replay on app) on my drive home instead.

I love Craig Carton. And I do think that Big Mac is great as well.
But they simply do not work well together.
Big Mac and Loogie could be fun. But Carton needs an established confident voice. Not an up and coming guy looking to strictly talk sports.
Bad idea from the jump. BT and Sal deserved better.

@JWonCATCHING My mind goes right to a split grip hitting drill, with only a 3/4 turn.

Day by Day…
Left: 3-4 ounce balls, Junior hack (no legs) — ride at the top
Right: 7-8 ounce ball, Junior hack (with legs) — bottom zone
⏳ Wait wait wait… late and fast… momentum with the catch no matter where it is.

@TJHannam10 We use the 7 ball device almost every week. I made it with a 2x4 and some paint. I also have a 4 ball device that we move around the plate to stress certain approach windows. Along with K Zone awareness the 7 ball device also helps us develop common scouting/dugout language.

These may have been my favorite hitting tool of 2025
I asked to buy the idea before he really launched it, I like it that much.
I, and I'm sure many others, have been looking for a better idea of this concept instead of cutting balls and putting them on a 2x4 wood block

Is there a hitting product you wish existed or that was better? Let me know, interested to hear. 👇🏼

Today I went through every 3-2 pitch Juan Soto saw in the 2025 season. Three things stuck out:
1️⃣ He Doesn’t Expand - he has some of the best strike zone awareness of anyone in the game. When he gets to two strikes, he does not chase or expand the zone. Most players start swinging at pitcher’s pitches. He makes pitchers execute a quality pitch to get him out.
2️⃣ He Competes! -he takes great pride in being a tough out. He battles. He doesn’t give in. He finds a way to get on base.
3️⃣ His Approach - because he’s so willing to use the entire field, his two strike approach does not need to change much. He gets a long look at each pitch because he’s willing to hit the fastball to the opposite field and pull the breaking ball.

@MattAAntonelli Matt. Love this. A great reinforcement of the "approach" and strike zone awareness stuff we are focusing on right now with our HS hitters. Turning this into a graphic!!! I'll give you credit.

@craigcartonlive Seward was stabbed by Lewis Powell. Not shot by Booth. Stop making stuff up on air. It's not entertaining.

January 2020: Here is what I learned as a ‘Baseball Evangelist’ & this is our plan for @GGC_Baseball
January 2026: The plan worked!
Representing for the Gang but always for our @NAIABall level!

It’s the highest honor in our game to work this stage & share in front of our @ABCA1945 fraternity! My heart is still full!
All of the bro hugs, deep convos, the fellowship, laughs & smiles are the paycheck.
Thank God I’m a baseball dude.
