@CoachSwit A large amount of that pressure created from unnecessary outside influences.

A lot of youth players start dreaming big in middle school—college baseball, commits, the next level. Nothing wrong with goals. But once high school hits, the pressure takes over for some kids and they forget to enjoy where they are right now. Enjoy the moments. It goes by fast

@threeinningfan He was the face of the Braves for so many great seasons. He created the culture for the organization. RIP

Hard to imagine someone with more baseball in his veins than Bobby Cox. God rest his soul. My condolences to Atlanta Braves fans.

@WayneTyson11 @notgaetti So true. Youth athletes can stop feeling badly about mistakes as athletes at all levels make knucklehead mistakes. Welcome to baseball.

@notgaetti Goes to show you even the big boys have brain cramps. If this happened in HS or college, fans would want the coach's head and that if the catcher. The announcer even called it a "middle school mistake." Nope. It was a "human" mistake.

Get a load of this bizarre play, folks: By stepping on third to force out the runner coming from second, the 3B extinguished the force at home, meaning that the catcher would have to tag the runner, but he thought he still had a force and let him score!

@WalshFreedom @CNN Rubio is such a coward. Claiming to be a Catholic is only lip service. He has just one person he will to answer to and it’s not Trump.

I went on @cnn last night and called Rubio a coward bcuz Rubio, who’s Catholic, hasn’t said a damn thing while Trump has attacked the Pope these past 5 weeks. Not one damn thing. As a Catholic, I’m outraged by Trump’s attack on my Pope and have said plenty. Rubio is still a coward.

@CoachJeffLeach I have to agree with you. Some of these 12 year olds are so developed beyond 12’s of my generation. 12 today is the new 15 in development.

I constantly hear "The best players at 12 don't become the best players at 18" but I don't often see evidence of that. Been coaching in south central TX since 2009. I can tell you most of the best local high school seniors were amongst the best players at 12 w/few exceptions-

@CoachSwit I agree with and go a little deeper. I rarely see high school baseball coaches at local little league games. I don’t mean T-ball but the junior division. As a former HS coach, I attended every so often and made note of players in my district. Talked to coaches

Never understood H.S. coaches who ignore freshman or JV programs. That’s the future of your varsity team. Then they complain about no depth, culture, or players ready for varsity. If you only coach varsity, you’re not building a program—you’re just coaching a team.

@WayneTyson11 @RaysFanGio All good?

@RaysFanGio Here after cataract surgery. Missed the first 6.5.

@RAKEwBLAKE I fully agree with #3

Saw a lot of HS baseball games this season. Notes: 1. Get in the WEIGHT ROOM. 2. If a pitcher doesn’t have elite velo, it’s a heavy diet of off speed called from dugout. 3. Baseball IQ is extremely low. 4. Lack of team chemistry. 5. Zero synergy from orgs & HS staffs.

@WayneTyson11 @GovRonDeSantis He will blame it on Obama and Biden

Per news source on ABC: inflation is outgrowing teacher pay. Bad news for all educators, and here in Florida, we rank 50th in teacher pay. What's your response, @GovRonDeSantis ?

@WayneTyson11 @tyson_mary @Braves Happy Birthday, Mary. Hope you had an awesome day of celebration.

Happy birthday to my sister @tyson_mary She's been blind since 10 months, but she's brilliant, hard-working, and done well for herself. She's a huge @Braves fan. She's always loved the wood bat; she combines the crack of the bat with crowd noise to feel the moment.

In for cataract surgery on my left eye Wednesday afternoon. The right eye went extremely well. Doc is big league.

@coachzblair10 Also, by not missing an OTA his teammates will respect him more. Him connecting with the team and coaching staff as soon as possible is very important.

Practice is important! He has a commitment and a job to win. One day could make all the difference. 👊🏼

@WaymooMoody Why are so many still intimidated by intelligent and confident woman, especially of color?

Regardless of party, I’d vote for Condalezza Rice because she’s brilliant. Bill Clinton said, “Any room she walks into, she’s the smartest person in the room.”

@WayneTyson11 James Comey will always make this regime’s DOJ look incompetent

He just kissed his indictment goodbye. Attorneys are generally better than this when opening their mouths. This whole thing is a waste of time, totally prejudicial, and it's costing taxpayers money. Trump and his sycophants drag our country down daily.

@WayneTyson11 Stay tuned, the Republicans will stand by why Trump and his regime disrupts the midterms. The Louisiana Governor just declared a state of emergency and has canceled the midterm primaries. Watch other republican states.

Trump began claiming voter 3 days after his inauguration in 2017. The claims were unsubstantiated, but he wished to win the popular vote. The TIME headlines of 10/22/20 show how Republicans hoped to claim/prove voter fraud. The only TRUE fraud is Trump and his sycophants.

@CoachMongero Coach, t are so correct. As former high school baseball coach, I’ve observed my grandsons’ youth baseball games for years and the lack of basic fundamentals is alarming. If it were not for me, those two grandsons wouldn’t be fundamentally sound.

Been coaching baseball for 35 years. I can confidently say … The same fundamentals that won baseball games in my year #1 still wins them today. Even more so now, because others are neglecting the basics at an alarming rate. So many are mistakenly seeking a magic potion. When doing simple better than everyone else is the key. On offense, defense, team play, etc.

@WayneTyson11 @SlangsOnSports

@SlangsOnSports Happy birthday, Sarah. I think of you often, as my eldest daughter is a "Sarah." We're a baseball family, and she (and her sister) kept score for our HS team when I coached. You are a blessing to baseball and its fans. Thank you!

@WayneTyson11 Wait for the Little League District All-Stars games to begin. Every year during that time we would have so many delays and cancellations due to rain. ☔️

We had 2.8 inches of rain at our house in the past 24 hours. It was much needed. But to get us out of drought conditions, we need another 9-10 inches. I don't see us being out of drought conditions any time soon unless we have a tropical development of some sort. Glad for 2.8.

@notgaetti That’s such a great instructional video. His head is so still and eyes so focused.

Absolutely love how still he keeps his eyes
