@ClintHurdle13 I have thought since I read this book that this was my favorite passage. The game has so many life lessons. This is great stuff

During one of the worst losing streaks of my career, our team president walked into my office.
Keli McGregor. One of the best men I've ever known.
He could have come to vent. To question my decisions. To ask hard questions.
Instead, he said: "Cut to the chase, Clint. What's next?"
I looked him in the eye and gave him two words: "Shower well."
The Colorado Rockies were struggling badly that year.
Pregame preparation was solid. Scout meetings, early work, attention to detail. All of it was there.
But at game time, the tires were flat.
I told Keli: the game did everything it could to us today. We just couldn't meet its demands.
Now it was time to reset.
"Shower well" means exactly this:
• Watch the frustration circle down the drain
• Shampoo, rinse, repeat and get the grime of today completely off your mind
• Walk out clean, go home, and actually rest
Leave it at the ballpark. The game is over. There's nothing left to solve tonight.
Keli nodded. Asked if he could share it with the whole organization.
I said sure. And then it hit me. This isn't just for baseball.
Bad day at the office. Grumpy boss. Missed deadline. Traffic on the way home.
You can carry all of that through your front door.
Or you can shower well.
I've never seen a single problem get better because someone dragged it home with them.
The reset is a discipline. Same as preparation. Same as showing up.
Either we win. Or we learn.
The only real loss? When you don't take a single thing out of a hard day.
So tonight, whatever kind of day it was, shower well.
Tomorrow is a new at-bat.
What does your reset look like? I'd love to hear it.

@mike_callihan @CoachSteeleySPG Definitely a bush league play. I would agree that the umpires should have ejected him. It was clearly intentional
I would have taken him and and we would have had a conversation on the bench

@CoachSteeleySPG I agree, this is a bush league play. Coach should have taken him out and had a serious talk with him. I’m also surprised he wasn’t ejected.

On behalf of all alumni and former players from CMU, this is disgusting. This is not what this school or program is about. Both in performance and behavior

Can’t be doing this and acting tough when you have a 7.30 ERA (Career 9.66 ERA)

Few of my hits from both games yesterday. 3 RBI double to gain the lead 8-6 against Parkway South and a 2 RBI triple against Liberty to go up 3-0. Also had a CS in the first game against Parkway South.

@SCW_Baseball @David_Birkby Coached Ty for several years now. Fun to watch play today. Had a big 3 run double here in a tie game. Also had a CS behind the plate. Great young man. Great work ethic. Keep working

My Highschool baseball coach begged us to watch 20-30 minutes of college/professional baseball a night. I never understood it.
Reflecting on it now, I am deeply grateful I did as he asked. It helped me think the game & develop baseball IQ ahead of my age.
As I help coaching Highschool baseball now : The baseball IQ is seemingly getting worse for high schoolers as time goes on & the world becomes exceedingly more short form & instant gratification centric.
If you’re a parent and/or young baseball player I hope you understand how much understanding the intricacies of the game will play in your favor over the long haul.

@GSV_STL I saw them several times. They are the best HS team I’ve seen in MO
