1. How crazy is it that everyone is getting shorter in anticipation of the new ABS challenge system this year?
2. HE WAS IN THE POOL!!! HE WAS IN THE POOL!!!

THAT IS SOME SERIOUS SHRINKAGE

College Freshman
1. Pick the right kids on the team to hang around
2. DO NOT get involved with the party crowd
3. Get to sleep at a reasonable time every night
4. Don't go home until Thanksgiving if school isn't in your hometown/area (plant roots and make new friends)
5. Do more than expected, be engaged and earn respect with work ethic and maturity
Remember, nobody cares what you did in HS/Travel Ball, if you were drafted or who scouted you. You're starting over. You have to earn respect.

@shegone03 Pipe down #oldhead I’m enjoying my best expected outcome year of my career. Hitting .397 with 36 bombs 92 rbi all from the comfort of my recliner. My War+sit on my a.. #’s are off the charts. My wife has no chance in my new recliner arbitration case.

“But but but I deserved a hit I’m just unlucky” 🤣
Not Gaetti@notgaetti
I feel like people with strong opinions about participation awards will have similarly strong opinions about doling out playing time based on expected stats rather than actual ones
English
@notgaetti The “the builder of great throwers” haymakers aren’t landing. Kid hits 92 and he says “we”. Time for a craft beer and a nap. #oldhead
English
Damn, I’ve just been K.O.‘d by the guy who films unhinged rants about craft beer (???) while driving in his car.
Are you the same guy who posted the vid of throwing 90 mph behind the right handed batters box or was that one of your disciples?

@notgaetti Imagine having “quoted on MLB.com” in your bio

@shegone03 @MLB The word humility needs to make a comeback. I’m in the fight everyday, “let them have fun” is not restricted to playing fields. Some of the best teachers I know are no longer teaching. I’m in it for the long haul with you brother. 👊
English
Hahaha! Yeah I’m not looking for a coaching job buddy. I get a pension from the @MLB and enjoy playing golf and traveling the country and teaching kids about respect and character. Team USA wouldn’t be a great fit. #shegone

Here we go again. Can’t wait to see the “if I was the Team USA coach I would blah, blah, blah.” video. Good thing for USA Baseball that’ll never happen.

This is not the way kids! Too many experts out there who have no business instructing kids. Check out @johnb_sp profile and you’ll see. Quote “I build elite throwers.” You need to learn how to pitch folks. #shegone @rogerclemens @MikeBacsik @45PedroMartinez

@shegone03 @FoxNews @MLBNetwork @MLB @AMBS_Kernan @notgaetti @BobFile @billdubs @Rangers Not surprising to anyone who knows you brother. Haters gonna hate, screw ‘em.

Do any of my haters have stories like this? Come on all you #gurus who have blocked me or the people who suggest I’m bad for baseball share some of your stories like this. I’ll wait…

Get this folks! A reliable source tells me that at the @Yankees MILB facility the hitters are not allowed to use a tee, front toss or hit off a BP pitcher that everything is either off a machine or live in game AB’s. Can you believe it? #shegone #OverNerding @AMBS_Kernan

@shegone03 @Yankees @AMBS_Kernan @notgaetti @BobFile @twuench @billdubs @SliderDominate @GarysheffieldJr @DMEASrecruiting @ToddPratt07 @WillClark22 It’s a damn train wreck and has been for too long. It’s not rocket science, well, it used to not be. If you can’t put the ball in play consistently, you can’t win. They do have an outstanding barrel rate though. 😡🤬
English
When you hire non baseball people to tell you who to draft and how to develop them you get the last place @Yankees #shegone #overnerding @AMBS_Kernan @notgaetti @BobFile @twuench @billdubs @SliderDominate @GarysheffieldJr @DMEASrecruiting @ToddPratt07 @WillClark22

@shegone03 @AMBS_Kernan @notgaetti @BobFile @twuench @billdubs @MLB @FoxNews A copy of my lessons for my kiddos. This is what kids should be learning from youth athletics. When they develop life skills they are prepared to do things on their own that will help them become successful adults. The “let them have fun” argument is so tired.
English
I love baseball! I was taught to always give it my all. To respect the game and my opponents. To be a good winner and a good looser. To respect my coaches and authority. I live my life by these lessons I learned. #shegone @AMBS_Kernan @notgaetti @BobFile @twuench @billdubs @MLB

@shegone03 @WillClark22 @Gregg_Jefferies @ChickenMan3010 @RodCarew_29 @TheRealJHair @KevinMench28 @jreb36 Are you telling me you went you went to the plate without looking at your laptop, phone and iPad to come up with a “swing solution”? Your time has passed old man🤪
English
Huh? All I did was look fastball middle away and think oppo gap and adjust to the off speed. No fancy drills. That doesn’t work anymore? Interesting. #shegone @WillClark22 @Gregg_Jefferies @ChickenMan3010 @RodCarew_29 @TheRealJHair @KevinMench28 @jreb36

@shegone03 You don’t wish your career ended at Carl Albert? You’re kidding me.
English
@shegone03 Been in education for 30 years, being old is not the problem. There’s been a change in how kids handle failure as well and it’s not a good trend. In general let them have fun is no fun when they can’t handle failing. That’s where the issue is. Transfer portal generation.
English
That’s baseballs fault? Because parents have stopped parenting and allow their kids to spend every waking moment on their phones baseball has to encourage players to showboat to get kid’s attention? Interesting

@BHummington @shegone03 @MLB @MLBPAA @MLBNetwork @WillClark22 @TheRealJHair Not sure how he just now is realizing baseball is considered a boring sport by most and young ppl don’t sit down and watch games anymore. Rather be on the phone getting dopamine hits every 5 seconds bc everyone is addicted to phone screens now

@shegone03 @RedSox @notgaetti @BobFile @twuench @billdubs @KevinMench28 @WillClark22 @BoomerWells33 @WesClements22 You’re no fun old man.
English
Oh my look at @shegone03 the #slugger is part of “The gone network”
Obviously this wasn’t fun because he didn’t do the DOUGIE before he touched home plate. @RedSox @notgaetti @BobFile @twuench @billdubs @KevinMench28 @KMerklen @WillClark22 @BoomerWells33 @WesClements22

@shegone03 Someone is going to have to explain to me how acting like a Jack ass is fun.

They don’t get it @KMerklen just look around. Respect is lost in today’s world and these are the idiots who are to blame. #shegone

@shegone03 @Yankees @RedSox What does wanting guys to play with some hint of humility have to do with being old? My kids don’t talk to me any different because we’re all getting older. Respect doesn’t have an expiration date.

It’s always the @Yankees fans. Y’all haven’t won in so long I guess you need something to cheer about. #shegone @RedSox

Thanks @mlb for encouraging kids to act excited after doing something awesome on a baseball field We need to be encouraging hitters and pitchers to show emotion when they do something great, it gets everyone into it and fired up You deserve to get hyped after coming up clutch
