Let the team start 0-5 and see how fast the “we only care about development” crowd changes its tune.

With Air Force playing today, here’s one of the few mid-inning interviews that has ever been worth listening to I love when Texas gets to play Air Force, such a special series

I watched the post spring Mora press conference. Some interesting comments from him. Basically said that we are soft, inconsistent, and not disciplined. Also called out the coaching staff for lack of consistency. A bit refreshing to hear the truth as opposed to how tall we are.

@CoachSwit The only reason a pitcher would be out there after 50 pitches in an inning would be because the coach doesn’t give a crap about his players. In our program, it’s 35 pitches and you’re out.

Asking for a friend… High school coaches— don’t you think if a pitcher is at 50+ pitches in one inning… he’s probably had enough? I’m sure someone will jump in and explain why that’s “okay”. 😂

If you think youre good enough to play college baseball you should be absolutely dominating high school baseball. Not like 1-3 with an rbi single every other game. Not like like 4er thru 6ip. DOMINATING. Like it should be easy for you. Some of you have never even made all conference talking about getting committed like bro you’re not even the best player in your town. Get real guy there’s gonna be a pissed off D1 transfer dying for your spot that already knows how to do college and you think you’re gonna win because you hit .325 once at a small high school. You better hope somebody does you a favor and tells you the truth before it’s too late. You’re lucky you’re even getting this information for free some of you are getting charged 3k a summer and don’t even get that truth.

Every training camp I had at Washington State University, Coach Leach would share the same story. The story of two kids. The rich kid and the poor kid. The rich kid has two choices. He can become spoiled, entitled, lazy, and expect everything to be handed to him because he has been given more. Or he can take every advantage of what he has been given—resources, coaching, opportunities—and use it to become even better. The poor kid has two choices too. He can say, “I never had a chance. Nobody gave me anything. The world is against me.” He can feel sorry for himself and use it as an excuse. Or he can say, “I may not have what they have, but I am going to outwork everybody.” He can become tougher, more driven, and more relentless than everybody else. It was a powerful message in a locker room full of people from different backgrounds, different families, and different life experiences. Some guys came from wealth. Some came from almost nothing. Some had every opportunity. Others had to fight for every inch. But despite all of those differences, everybody still had the same choice. You can take ownership and use what you have as fuel. Or you can become victim-minded. You can look for excuses, blame your circumstances, become entitled, and convince yourself that because of what you have—or because of what you do not have—you cannot become what you want to be. It is not about how you start. It is about what you choose to do with how you start. The rich kid can waste what he has been given or use it to build something greater. The poor kid can use his circumstances as an excuse or as fuel. In the end, greatness does not come from starting with more or less. It comes from which person inside of you that you choose to feed.

If you coach college baseball I’ll tell you right now unless you’re a D1 assistant you’re probably broke sadly. The ones who have wives and GF’s with money you can swing it but if you’re on your own you’re broke. And in some cases you’re scary broke till you make it.

Players Your strength and conditioning are your responsibility. Nobody wants weak and or out of shape players. They want the strongest and most athletic dudes on the field. A college or pro coach has never said. This dude is too strong and or too physical or in too good of shape. Your body is your billboard. Physicality separates the contenders from the pretenders.

If a college coach at a school that is fully funded with a full allotment of scholarships tells you they're out of scholarship money. They're out of scholarship money for players like you. They don't think you're good enough. If they ask you to walk on They don't think you're good enough to be on scholarship. Go where you're wanted and needed. The scholarship money will advertise how much they want and need you. Schools are never out of money for the right players.

Not so fast, my friend! @SpikeMagill2025 launches a 3-run homer off the light pole and we have a ballgame in the ninth! 📺 B1G+ ⚾️ #ForTheAces x #GUAC 🥑

I got some nerdy shit to say but everybody in the player development travel baseball world will understand. Parents, the player development is in the boring. There are a lot of coaches out there that are probably scared to do the appropriate things to develop your child because in practice it’s boring. Cuts and relays are boring. Bunt defense is boring. First and third defense is boring. Base running is boring however, if you ask college coaches, they will tell you physicality and metrics are at an all-time high while baseball IQ and getting simple jobs done is at an all-time low. I truly believe this is because people are worried players will leave their program. If the things they do are not flashy they think parents will complain and kids will check out which actually happens but let them. There are 16 u first baseman out there every summer that have to be reminded to hold a runner on first base. There are third base out there every summer that need to be reminded that they are the cut off man on a single to left field to home plate. Starting pitchers do not know how to hold runners or have multiple pickoff moves. Hitters do not know their approach should be based on the outs the inning the score and the base runners so they go up there blindly without any objective in the world. Ideally, you wanna find a program that can teach your child how to play baseball while also developing their strength and improving their important data points. I’ve seen it firsthand when teaching players that continuously forget easy responsibilities on the field. They check out when you talk about the things they consider boring. Explain to them that you are relaying messages that you were getting from coaches at the college level and hold steady in teaching the kids the things that will help them be able to get themselves relied upon at the next level.

@JackPosobiec I know, right?

Misery loves company. The Rumor Mill. The Low Road. The Rainmakers. The Weeds. The Social Media Lawyers. Dynamic people are allergic to all of them and refuse to align with them. They are too busy impacting people in a positive way and addicted to the high road. Who do you align with?
