It's-a me, Rosario! 😤

On Today’s Pardon my take

This is Brian Curley He is the opening day starter for the Hillsboro Hops (Dbacks high A affiliate)

@Twins Might’ve been visualizing catching barrels & stealing strikes from opposing hitters the night before to help the team win. Good thing there’s over 150 more on the schedule to get it right. Hopefully the men on your roster get it right for 162 of em as well.

Don't forget to set your alarms for tomorrow! See you bright and early!

MLB The Show glitch happened in real life

Can't talk rn.

Posted by former MLB player Jacob Turner. Follow Jacob @TheJacobTurner They cut Mike Trout. The greatest baseball player of our generation. The story you have never heard and the lesson to learn: Back in 2008, I was a high school junior. I was an up-and-coming baseball player and my first big break was an invitation to the USA baseball team trials. You see each year USA Baseball brings in 100+ of the best baseball players in the country to try out for the 18u national team. That year, USA Baseball had arranged for two players each to stay with a host family. My roommate was a player named, Mike Trout. Mike had incredible athleticism but was from the Northeast so he didn't come into the event on the "hype train" like some of the top prospects from California, Texas, and Florida did. We both performed well at the event and made it to the final stage of the trials. Here USA Baseball chose the final 18 players for the national team. Mike didn't make those final 18 players. Fast forward 15 years and Mike is the best player of a generation. A surefire Hall of Famer and arguably one of the greatest baseball players of all time. Funny, how life works sometimes. Look the lesson we can all learn from this is life is full of things that are outside of our control. You will be told no. You will suffer adversity. You will face disappointment. Accept it as part of your journey. My friends, we focus far too much on the end destination and completely miss the beauty in the journey. The come up, the adversity, and the struggle are what you will talk about one day. It makes the destination worth striving for. So, the next time you face a setback, remember Mike's story.

My son and all his buddies, all high school freshman, have a fantasy football league and their punishment for coming in last place is that you have to ask a senior girl to prom with an elaborate promposal.

No prop bets needed, my man Gregory Soto just doing it for the love of the game.

As a hitting coach, I watched players come back to the dugout after making an out. They'd look at me and ask, "What'd you see?" I'd go through the mechanical stuff like back side collapse, front side energy, head came off the ball. Man, it was wearing me out! Finally, I realized I needed to simplify. So the next time a player came back asking what I saw, I just asked him: "Did you get a good pitch to hit?" That usually stopped the conversation. Because if you don't "get a good pitch to hit," it's hard to get a hit. This works in our lives too. Whatever task I take on, I ask myself: Am I putting myself in position to succeed? Did I eliminate distractions? Did I prepare? Did I practice? Am I ready to produce? In life, your "good pitch to hit" probably isn't the same as mine. That's the beauty of it all. I've swung at some bad pitches in my life... so have you. But one bad swing doesn't always end the at-bat. Hitting is a lot like life. It can be simple, but not easy.

Haven’t had stomach flu in ages. So dehydrated, I can't wait to drink the tallest Baja blast once I'm over this

You’ll lose sleep. You’ll question if you’re getting better. You don’t feel like you’re making progress. You’ll wonder if all the work is even worth it. — This is what ‘hard’ feels like. — Everyone who’s achieved something great has felt this, too. KEEP GOING.

Drop whatever you’re doing, folks We all know that Robinson Cano has one of the greatest swings of his era, but check out the absolute stillness of his head, even in slow motion; he’s locked in on that baseball and then his hands explode right through it
