Here comes all the 87-91 guys with no appearances looking for a better opportunity.

@BauerOutage How could you not give this guy a chance!!! Rooting for you Trevor. You deserve it

Hypothetical: You’re the owner of an MLB team. I offer to take $0 salary and sign a minor league contract and go to Low A. If the “he sucks now” crowd is right and I get lit up, you cut me, lose $0 and there’s no risk to the big league club. If the “clubhouse cancer” crowd is right, you see it immediately at Low A and cut me. You lose $0 and there’s no risk to the big league club. If there’s massive negative PR, which we already know there won’t be, you just cut me and move on. The story is dead in a couple days, you lose $0, and there’s no risk to the big league club. But, assuming none of those things happen, which they obviously wouldn’t, if you like what you see, you can promote me to AA and re evaluate me there. Then AAA. Then the big leagues. If I earn it, which you’d be 100% in control of deciding. If you don’t think I’m good enough, you lose $0 and there’s no risk to the big league club. You could take away my “antics”. You could take away my social media. You could ask anything of me. If I don’t comply, you cut me, lose $0, and there’s no risk to the big league club. What logical reason is there to not do this? At worst, you cut me and there’s no risk to the big league club. At best, you get a Cy Young winner for $0 who you know can still pitch and could help the big league team if and when you see fit.

The velocity era is a tired act. Watching dudes with below command trying to throw as hard as they can every pitch is vomit worthy. It's time for the pitchability, moxie and feel era to resurface. Command it. Then learn to throw it harder, not the other way around. The velocity progression is supposed to be gradual. Example 9th-79-81 10th-82-84 11th-85-87 12th-88-90 Then continue climbing in college. It's how injury risk is reduced drastically. Learn to control it. Learn to command it. Then add velocity.

Kids aren't as tough nowadays. Wrong. Kids are just as tough nowadays as they were when you and I, or anyone else grew up. Kids haven't changed. There are as many tough kids nowadays as ever before. What has changed, is adults, coaches and parents. They baby kids. They illusion kids to believe they are entitled to do whatever they want, however they want and whenever they want. They've lowered the expectations of kids and encourage the path of least resistance. Challenge kids to be the best version of themselves and you may be surprised when they run through the wall. Raise expectations, expect more and demand more.

Clemson spent a lot of NIL money on the wrong players. Pay a coach like an MLB manager. Went all in with gizmos, gadgets, data and analytics. Got away from fundamentals, junk yard dogs and toughness. Will they pivot and learn from their mistakes? A lot of schools are making these same mistakes and valuing things that don't translate into championships.

@NFL_DovKleiman When you act like that, you don’t get any calls. There’s a professional approach to being an athlete and he isn’t close.

Heartbreaking: Vanderbilt star QB Diego Pavia becomes the first Heisman finalist since 2014 to go undrafted. Pavia invited all his friends and family to watch the draft together in hopes of getting a call. The setup for his draft party 😔💔

During one of the worst losing streaks of my career, our team president walked into my office. Keli McGregor. One of the best men I've ever known. He could have come to vent. To question my decisions. To ask hard questions. Instead, he said: "Cut to the chase, Clint. What's next?" I looked him in the eye and gave him two words: "Shower well." The Colorado Rockies were struggling badly that year. Pregame preparation was solid. Scout meetings, early work, attention to detail. All of it was there. But at game time, the tires were flat. I told Keli: the game did everything it could to us today. We just couldn't meet its demands. Now it was time to reset. "Shower well" means exactly this: • Watch the frustration circle down the drain • Shampoo, rinse, repeat and get the grime of today completely off your mind • Walk out clean, go home, and actually rest Leave it at the ballpark. The game is over. There's nothing left to solve tonight. Keli nodded. Asked if he could share it with the whole organization. I said sure. And then it hit me. This isn't just for baseball. Bad day at the office. Grumpy boss. Missed deadline. Traffic on the way home. You can carry all of that through your front door. Or you can shower well. I've never seen a single problem get better because someone dragged it home with them. The reset is a discipline. Same as preparation. Same as showing up. Either we win. Or we learn. The only real loss? When you don't take a single thing out of a hard day. So tonight, whatever kind of day it was, shower well. Tomorrow is a new at-bat. What does your reset look like? I'd love to hear it.

One of the greatest hustle plays in the history of the sport. 🐊

Success has a simple formula: Show up when it’s easy. Show up when it’s hard. And keep showing up when everyone else disappears.

Walk off homer for the first one of the year

Couple of swings from this week @GauchosBaseball

Best of the West Tournament last night against Castle View. Three run home run over left center. We are 2-0 to start!

@nextlevelbb Why shouldn’t this happen? 1 team plays great, the other team struggled. That’s the beauty of this game.

Sacramento State won the series at LSU. Wonder what the coaching salary, NIL and baseball budget difference is between the programs? This should not happen in the current landscape of college athletics.

Went 4-4 with 2 singles,double,triple,and a walk bringing in 4RBI’s @maverixap @FalconsCSHS

@Drewpassmore21 @maverixap bigtime outing!! Excited for this summer🔥

Had a great outing on Tuesday. Complete game pitched. 5 innings, 0 ER, 11 K’s!

Seed oils, corn syrup. Go look up the effects those have.

These are trash. Let’s give athletes more energy. Not zap them with those awful ingredients in a snickers bar and Gatorade protein bar🤣🤣 love your content but high disagree with the food you recommend to athletes
