✅ Just because you're a FROSH doesn't mean you can't be a leader. ✅ Just because you're a SOPH doesn't mean you learned it all last year. ✅ Just because you're a JR doesn't mean you get to be on varsity. ✅ Just because you're a SR doesn't mean you get to start.

PLAYERS: Your coach shouldn't have to beg you to be unselfish, provide energy, have a good attitude, or give your best effort. Those are all things you can control. That is what a winning teammate brings to a team. Great teams have great teammates.

Sat in the dugout alone for about 10 minutes after the game just thinking. About the effort, the execution, and where we are right now as a team. Final score was 6-0, and they earned it. We got beat today, plain and simple. We didn’t make enough plays, didn’t compete well enough at the plate, and we let them control the game from the first inning on. Offensively, we struck out 12 times that’s not going to give you a chance to win against anyone. Baseball doesn’t reward effort alone, it rewards execution, and we didn’t have enough of it. This comes down to us. Our preparation, our attention to detail, and how much we’re willing to compete every pitch. It’s not where we want to be, but it’s where we are. And now we decide what we’re going to do about it. Come on 🇺🇸⚾️.

Couldn’t agree more. It’s wild how baseball seems to invite the loudest opinions from people who’ve never been in the batter’s box, never coached, and never had to make decisions in real time. Everybody loves to play expert from the bleachers, but like you said no one’s walking into a kitchen questioning the chef mid service or telling a roofer how to do their job. Yet somehow yelling at kids and second guessing coaches feels acceptable to some people. At the end of the day, these are kids learning the game. Mistakes are part of it. Effort, growth, and confidence matter way more than someone’s sideline commentary. If you can’t add something positive, you’re just adding noise and usually embarrassing yourself more than anyone else. Support the kids. Respect the coaches. It’s really that simple.

I can’t for the life of me figure out why youth baseball (Little league age, travel ball, high school) is one of the only arenas where people with absolutely no experience have the strongest opinions. Stay with me here. Like adults that know for a fact they never played baseball ever stand at sporting events criticizing coaches or kids for making mistakes while also knowing virtually nothing about the subject matter. It’s the most ignorant, lacking any self awareness things in society. Do you also walk in the kitchen during dinner service and question the executive chef or ask the roofing professionals if they’re replacing your shingles correctly knowing you have no idea what you’re talking about it’s such an insane concept to me. Yelling at children knowing you trip over your own feet mowing your lawn. just be positive and encourage the kids, thank the coaches for doing the job you can’t even come close to doing. Stop embarrassing yourself and your kids.

I post wins and I’ll also post the losses because that’s where the lessons are. I’m disappointed. They aren’t 11–0 better than us. But we can’t commit five errors and strike out 7 of 10 times looking and expect to win. I’ve got to do better too. That starts with me. I’ll be better for these guys tomorrow. We’ll learn from it, we’ll own it, and we’ll get back to work. 🇺🇸⚾️

At my last duty assignment in the Army, my commander and I had 100 coins made. We split them, and I’ve held onto the ones I had left. I’ve got about 11 remaining, and I decided a while back that when they’re gone, they’re gone and they should go to players who truly earn them. This coin goes to Mike Gilorma ‘29. In Myrtle Beach he hit .450, scored 7 runs, drove in 12, had 3 walks, and only struck out twice in four games. That’s production, discipline at the plate, and showing up for your team every time you step in the box. Coins like this aren’t something I handed out often. In the Army they were given to recognize people who stood out and did their job at a high level. Big Mike earned this one.

The GA Championship Belt is something we use to recognize the player who best represents what our team is about. It’s not just for the biggest hit or the best stat line. It’s for the moments that show awareness, toughness, and putting the team first. This week it goes to Mick Tronoski ‘28. Getting the ball back in from the outfield at shortstop and then calling time to slow the game down and stop the other team’s momentum in Myrtle Beach is exactly the type of baseball IQ we’re looking for. That’s a player thinking about the game, helping his teammates, and controlling the moment. The GA Championship Belt represents a player who competes, thinks the game, and does the little things that help us win. Mick earned it this week.

.@CMPunk is dropping a PIPE BOMB 😱

Travel ball didn’t kill Little League. Standards did. When practices stop demanding effort, focus, and fundamentals, the game pays the price.

“All year we have been saying the talent is our floor but our character will determine our ceiling. And I am just so confident in their character, and that’s what determined how they played today.” Talent makes you comparable. Character makes you unforgettable.

Madden Orlovsky had a heartfelt message for his family and friends in honor of World Autism Awareness Day 🥹 This was a special moment for all of us at ESPN. Thanks, Madden and @danorlovsky7 ❤️

4–0 on the trip with a 14–1 win, a 19–2 win, a 12–5 win, and a 10–9 walk-off victory where the team really showed resiliency and refused to quit.

The boys stayed rolling in Myrtle Beach with a 12–5 win over Moniteau (PA). I love this team; they continue to stack good at-bats, good pitches, and good baseball. Next up is Utica (OH) tomorrow. Let's keep it rolling. 🇺🇸⚾️

This is awesome stuff from Ron Washington. Listen up
