Every angle of this triple play started by Zach Neto on a line drive from Shohei Ohtani 😮‍💨 Catch more defensive gems TONIGHT when the @Dodgers take on the @Angels for #RivalryWeekend!

Sexiest Lineup Payroll in baseball Not a single hitter making over $10m a year. At a total of $31m, our lineup is $11m less than Bo Bichette’s salary this year. Let that sink in.

Exchange with a tight-lipped Jose Trevino after his rehab in High-A Dayton #Reds Q: "What's your next step?" A: "I don't know for sure yet" Q: "The goal was Sunday?" A: "You found the secret out!" Q: "So you won't be here tomorrow" A: "I'd like to be up in Cincinnati tomorrow"

Cowboys 1st-round pick Caleb Downs walk-up song at the NFL Draft was Christian song “King of Glory” by CeCe Winans “Yes the world Will bow down and say You are God Every man Will bow down and say You are King” Proud to see so many top picks giving glory, honor & praise to Jesus

Luke Falk shared a Mike Leach story that stopped me cold: Two kids. One rich. One poor. Every training camp, Coach Leach told his team about these 2 kids. The rich kid has two choices. Get soft. Get entitled. Expect everything handed to him because he was handed more. Or take the resources, the coaching, the opportunities, and compound them into something greater. The poor kid has two choices too. Say nobody gave him anything. Blame the world. Make his circumstances the reason he never became what he could have been. Or outwork everyone in the room. Luke said the locker room had both. Kids from wealth. Kids from nothing. Kids with every advantage. Kids who scraped for every inch. Same choice for all of them. Ownership or victimhood. Fuel or excuse. The rich kid can waste the head start or build on it. The poor kid can drown in the deficit or weaponize it. Greatness doesn't come from where you start. It comes from which kid you choose to feed. Credit to @coachlukefalk for continuing to share golden nuggets about Coach’s legacy

🚨 Mariners’ Pickoff Play • 1st baseman dekes back to the base then resets his position. • As the runner retakes his lead, the catcher drops his glove & the pitcher picks. ⭐️ Very creative play to catch overly aggressive baserunners.

This is a RIDICULOUS play by Sal Stewart.

The Mental Edge MLB Players Are Using (Stoicism)

All THREE of Jo Adell's home run robberies from tonight ... Yes, you read that right 😮

It's Good Friday, so I'd like to share one of the best illustrations of the Gospel that I've ever heard. Worst day for Him. Best day for us.

Joseph of Arimathea pulled a corpse off a cross with his bare hands. Blood under his fingernails. The weight of a dead man sagging into his arms. He wrapped God in linen, pressed the fabric into wounds that were still wet. Nicodemus brought seventy-five pounds of burial spice. A king's funeral for a man the world just murdered. They carried Him into a hole in the rock and rolled the stone shut. And everything you've ever done went in with Him. Every night you can't sleep because of what you did. Every morning, you can't look in the mirror. The thing you did to her. The thing you did to them. The lie you've been carrying so long it feels like bone. The version of you that drinks alone and pretends tomorrow will be different. That man was buried with Christ. Stone sealed. Done. Not managed. Not in therapy. Not on a payment plan with God where you slowly earn your way back. Buried. In a tomb. Under rock. Gone. Three days of silence. Three days of a cold body in the dark. Then the stone moved. And when He walked out, the grave clothes were folded on the slab. He didn't stumble out tangled in death. He left it sitting there like a man who's done with the clothes he used to wear. Lazarus needed someone to unwrap him. Death still clung to him even after he was breathing. Jesus folded His own burial linen and walked out clean. That's the difference between religion and resurrection. Religion unwraps you slowly. Asks you to manage your sin. Attend the class. Read the book. Try harder next week. Resurrection says the man who walked into that tomb is dead. The man who walked out doesn't know him. You're not fixing the old you. The old you is in a sealed tomb in Jerusalem, and he's not coming back. The man reading this, the one who thinks he's too far gone, you're not too far. You're already buried. The funeral happened two thousand years ago. Now get up. The stone's already moved. The linen's already folded. Walk out.

The bad news: Team USA lost to Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic Final last night. The good news: Venezuela’s Eugenio Suárez gave glory to Jesus Christ BY NAME on national television for ALL to see 🙏 “God is good. All the glory is for Lord Jesus...He was with us the whole time. We have to glorify, put his name in front of everything”

I texted a coach this morning and asked how the new job was going after about a month. His response was one I’ve heard many times… and lived myself: “Not bad. Some kids pushing back culture wise. Always worried about staff and numbers.” If you go into a program and start making the changes that need to be made, be ready for pushback. That’s normal. My advice to him: Water the good grass. Don’t let the weeds hold you hostage. Too many coaches start looking the other way because they want to keep players and coaches happy. They convince themselves they can slowly change the culture. It doesn’t work that way. Culture doesn’t drift in the right direction. It moves toward the standard you enforce. Stay strong to your principles. The right grass will grow. 🌱🏈 @fastnwide

The Advice Stanford Baseball Coach Esquer Gives Underdogs @StanfordBSB Pure Gold!

🥓 Hot take 🥓 The passion, joy and confidence the Dominican Republic plays with is something I wish more American kids could do. The “act like you’ve been there” crowd are dinosaurs. They aren’t acting like punks or showing up their opponents or talking trash. They are playing with unbridled joy and passion.

Italy manager Francisco Cervelli on the impact HOF manager Joe Torre made on him with the Yankees, having his WBC players wear suits to the games: ‘He taught me so much: how to be elegant, respectful and be a Yankee. So that's what I'm trying to do here in Italy. Italy, it's culture, it's elegance, it's art. So my guys, they dress well every day. They respect this. This is the highest level in the world. So why not create a tradition of, like, a Joe Torre tradition, that is respect this game and be a professional inside and outside the field.’’
