@umichbaseball @MilkMeansMore The hotdog is a ballpark staple- but the grilled chicken kabobs in Ponce, Puerto Rico last year…OMG!

@scottmarks45 Perfume and gasoline have ended more baseball careers than curve balls and Tommy John surgery ever will.

There’s two main reasons why participation drops at the 8th grade level and again at the sophomore level:
1. Puberty-enhanced interest in girls
2. Drivers’ Licenses-Mom &Dad no longer the ball and chain.
Purely anecdotal evidence acquired in my 35 years of coaching & scouting

Want to know why kids quit playing after 12u....this is the real reason. The big field doesnt care who mommy & daddy are. no more trophies for everyone All that matters...do your skills scale enough to succeed on the big field & do you have the physical skill to succeed! period!

@scottmarks45 I saw a kid at 14U (not mine), whose goal was to play in college someday, get her will to play destroyed by a coach who couldn't handle a 13-year-old getting an attitude on occasion (except his own daughter, of course) and decided to make an example out of her for the last month.

@jbaraldi11 I said 8th grade and I also said sophomores-I can’t be responsible for when you stopped reading

@truthwrangler @CoachSwit Where do they not play HS baseball on Saturday?!? Best day of the week to play.
English
@CoachSwit You can’t do that here unless you want to be ineligible. Throw 110 on Monday and you’re not available til Sunday which no one plays hs baseball on Sunday.
English
High School pitchers throw 110 on Monday, then come back Friday for another 110. That’s 220 pitches in 5 days—more than most MLB arms.
And we’re surprised when injuries pile up?
That’s not development—it’s misuse.
And yes, Tommy John is worse than ever.

Did your high school have a designated smoking section for students?

Bad news, dude:
If your kid doesn’t play travel/AAU they have no chance of playing varsity in high school.
Only exceptions would be small, rural schools without many players to choose from.
Any decent sized high school, every kid on varsity plays travel.

@TerpsBaseball please tell your BIG + baseball announcers that a batted ball that hits the plate is not foul - it’s foul because it hit the batter. The plate - as well as all other bases are in fair territory. You can tell that because they are ALL inside the foul lines.

@brotherhoodlabs @AmiriKing And that’s what fooled them - the guy didn’t have his shotgun he was running down the hall with in a bag…

@AmiriKing These are TSA agents and have no obligation (nor training) to engage an active shooter. They were there to make sure there weren't weapons in people's bags.

Watch how the female officers responded to the recent assassination attempt on Trump.
Be honest. Should women be in law enforcement?
