Keith Jackson

In his @NWLbaseball debut @JJJackson_1 strikes out 2 in the 9th and 0 hits for @FlyingMummies first win ever!

@DealinTheCards Under 2 ERA

If the season ended today, where would Jordan Walker finish in MVP voting? And what would he have to accomplish for the rest of the season to surpass Shohei Ohtani and the rest of the competition?

@tom69tanks @BradyDoorey In this case they are a backup catcher from Oregon….

@kej1122 @BradyDoorey Is the 19 year old pitching or hitting in this context?

Question for Coaches - What are some good short OR long-term goals for young/new coaches to have? (Below are my long-term career goals)

The Death of Baseball IQ The game is over and we need to talk about why we took an L and why half of you are going to go home open your phones and completely miss the point. We have an absolute epidemic in amateur baseball right now. Players who are chasing metrics but losing ballgames. You’ve been trained to believe that if your exit velocity is up, your launch angle is perfect, and your radar gun numbers look good on a screen. You’re an elite prospect. Let me tell you the truth. You are training for a spreadsheet while the team is trying to win a game on the dirt. Data builds a great engine but tools don't mean a thing if you have zero Baseball IQ. The 3 Lefts Metrics Audit The Situational Deficit: In the cage a 95 mph exit velo is a perfect rep. In a live game with a runner on second, zero outs, and a tie score in the 6th. The definition of success changes. If you take a massive, heavy-pull hero swing to juice your personal data profile and roll over into a weak groundout. You failed. You chose to chase a metric instead of executing the backside approach the scoreboard demanded. The Invisible Play Deficit: You can’t put a radar gun on a perfectly executed cutoff throw. There is no viral metric for an outfielder running 60 feet just to back up first base or an infielder communicating who has the bag on a steal before the pitch is thrown. Because those high IQ defensive plays don't generate a flashy stat line for social media. You treat them like afterthoughts. That is exactly why we give up runs. The Scout Card Reality: You’re on the bus right now refreshing apps looking at a padded batting average. Let’s be real high level college recruiters and pro scouts don't care about your digital box score or what a local app says you're batting. They see right through it. They are watching how you handle a 95-mph fastball inside, your pitch recognition on a 3-2 slider, and your in game instincts. The screen might lie to protect your feelings but the radar gun and the scout's notebook won't. Data can build the engine but it cannot steer the car. The college game moves way too fast for slow thinkers. If your energy, your hustle, and your focus change depending on your personal metrics instead of the team's record. You aren't a competitor. You're just a data collector wearing our jersey. Turn off the screens. Learn the game. Own the standard. #3LeftsBaseball #CoachBigMike

We’re here. Where are you? @Cardinals

@ericolsenCMO Sadly, I think (eventually) the algorithm shifts to feed you more of what you want and not the middle.

@kej1122 but i'm actually curious about what happens here? If most of us have bad opinions because we just haven't heard great ones yet, and this tool starts giving everyone broader understandings of reality, do our political opinions actually shift?

If getting our news from the media politically polarized us, is arguing with LLMs going to make everyone libertarian? Because even as a libertarian, I’m often shocked at how liberty-leaning these models are.

The Richmond Flying Mummies (Brand new Northwoods League team in Eastern, Indiana) are still looking for 1-2 2nd HALF arms to finish of our first ever roster! If you are interested in pitching in the NWL this summer please email me at Masonrapp2019@gmail.com

@CoachBeede This is spot on.

🧵 The 6 conversations every baseball family should have before their son commits to a college. After 35 years on both sides of recruiting, these are the ones that get skipped, and the ones families wish they had not skipped when their son is a sophomore in college.

@photobystein I’m just glad I’m not the only commenting on the absurdity. Is it engagement farming? Or actual stupid?

There’s a chance Purdue enters this upcoming March Madness at #5 on the list 👀

Great kid. Great family. Great player. Only batter I have ever been in favor of JJ intentionally walking.

Yesterday I wrapped up my college baseball career as well as my playing career. I was reflecting on some things that I wish I knew coming into college or somethings that I would tell younger players interested in playing college baseball. So here they are in no particular order⬇️

Mike Singletary with a great message on Faith, Family & Football.

@philvischer Now do Burisma

Good news! Trump has backed down from his demand that $10B in US taxpayer funds be moved from the Treasury into his own pocket. Bad news: He instead wants $1.7B in taxpayer funds set aside for his family and friends. It’s like when God raised up Cyrus to “fleece the Jews.”

Really good player.

@BoJDuke14 @NACCCliff @ArthurBucco36 @Tmcall1975 @BustahWagnah Yeh last year they only won NACC and two games in ncaa for first time…
