Find someone who looks at you like Adrian looked at Rocky!

@JermaineCurtis Will do! Ty so much!

Eddy, Thank you for sending the video. The first thing I want to tell you is this: The swing isn't bad. In fact, there's a lot to like. He gets the barrel to the baseball well. He moves well. He has a solid foundation. That's why I don't think he needs a complete swing rebuild. What I see is something much smaller. His swing direction is causing his angles to get messed up. Instead of staying on plane with the pitch... The barrel starts working down and across the baseball. When that happens, hitters usually do one of two things: They hit weak ground balls. Or they hit pop ups. Why? Because the barrel isn't staying through the hitting zone long enough. It's getting to the baseball. But it's not staying through the baseball. Think of it like chopping wood. If your axe travels across the log, you glance off of it. If it travels through the log, you drive through it. That's what I want him feeling. Not across. Through. That's why every drill I'd use has the same goal: Get the barrel working through the baseball. Not around it. Not chopping down on it. Through it. 1. The 2-Seam Drill Place the ball over the middle of the plate. The goal is to hit the inner seam of the baseball. Why? Because it teaches the barrel to stay on the inside part of the ball. Not around it. Not across it. Through it. 2. Split Grip Drill Separate the hands on the bat. This is one of my favorite drills for improving barrel awareness and solid contact. The top hand learns to guide the barrel through the baseball. Not around it. Not across it. Through it. If the barrel cuts across the ball, the drill immediately exposes it. 3. Break The Wall Drill Set the tee up where a good swing produces a line drive back through the middle. The goal is to "break the wall" behind the baseball. Drive through it. Not across it. Once he hits 5 good line drives through the middle... Move the tee back about 6 inches. Now the goal is to drive the ball into the left-center gap. Why? Because it forces the barrel to stay through the baseball longer. It extends the swing plane. It teaches him to let the ball travel. And it prevents the barrel from cutting across the baseball. If he cuts across it... The ball won't go where he wants. The drill gives immediate feedback. Here's What I'd Do Tonight ✅ 10 swings — 2-Seam Drill Focus on hitting the inner seam. ✅ 10 swings — Split Grip Drill Focus on letting the top hand guide the barrel through the baseball. ✅ 10 swings — Break The Wall Drill 5 swings through the middle. Move the tee back 6 inches. 5 swings into the left-center gap. That's it. 30 focused swings. Not 300. Not a complete swing rebuild. Just 30 reps teaching the barrel to stay through the baseball instead of cutting across it. One thing I've learned: A lot of players think they need a completely new swing. Most don't. Sometimes they just need a better direction. A small adjustment can completely change the quality of contact. Let me know how it goes. Thank you for reading, Jermaine Curtis

BASEBALL PARENTS: What’s the #1 thing your son is struggling with offensively right now? Reply below 👇 I’m a former MLB player, and I’ll try to help as many as I can. And honestly… Your answers help me understand what players are ACTUALLY struggling with in games today.

@JermaineCurtis Ok. Will do.

@fricka8 This works. But... Give me game footage, if you can this coming week, though.

@JermaineCurtis Right now this is what I have. I’ll gather some more this weekend.

@fricka8 Hey Eddy, Do you have any other video from the other side?

@CoachBeede I let him initiate the conversation. If he had a tough day there’s no need for me to pile on. Being negative doesn’t help and may make him hate baseball. Usually he’ll ask “What did I do on this at bat? I’ll give feedback in a positive manner. Or “Hey what did you see here”?

What do you say in the car after a rough game or meet? I have watched that ride lift athletes and crush them. My father asked one thing after every game, win or lose: "Did you have fun?" Tell me what works in your family.

@Ma48124Mark @NFL_DovKleiman bLuEpRiNt. Must be a never won anything Bills fan.

@NFL_DovKleiman The Blueprint is and has been out on Drake Maye! Lol. Pressure pressure pressure equals Deer in the headlights!

Who is stopping this offense? QB: Drake Maye RB: Rhamondre Stevenson RB: TreVeyon Henderson WR: AJ Brown WR: Kayshon Boutte WR: Mack Hollins TE: Hunter Henry HC: Mike Vrabel 🧐

@chriscfore It’s definitely the first thing I thought of when hearing about Claude today.

When an NFL player dies, CTE is blamed within the hour. When a NHL player dies, CTE isn't ever blamed. Why?

@JermaineCurtis Hey Jermaine, He doesn’t seem to be barreling the ball consistently. A lot of pop ups and weak grounders. I’d like to see more solid contact consistently. He works hard,but he’s getting frustrated and pressing. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

@fricka8 Hey Eddy, Can you share what's happening in the games? What results would you LIKE to see from him offensively? And if you have a video, send it over please.

@Tonysmarkettips @Teddyjradio Who are you?

Yesterday @Teddyjradio called me “insufferable” on WEEI, said “nobody cares” about questions I’m asking and that I’m using the Vrabel story to try to make a name for myself. I asked Ted for a phone call. He liked the tweet, so I know he received it but haven’t heard anything yet. Really hope that Ted isn’t one of those guys who would trash someone’s name publicly and then refuse to talk to that person.

@JermaineCurtis More hits. In all honesty tho…my boy is a slap hitter.

Would you rather your player: A) Get 2 singles every game OR B) Get 1 hit a game… but it’s usually an extra-base hit? I am genuinely curious to know your perspective.

@JoshuaArieh @WSOP When in doubt…. SHIP IT!!!!

Your friend is playing @WSOP for the first time. He asks you for your best tip to succeed. ONE TIP! What would you tell him? Keep the dumb jokes aside, I’m hoping to give him some good shit, I wanna see him do good.

@EliteGolfDad Mashed potatoes brah!!

Hi. Guys at golf tournaments. If, umm. If you could simply shut up. No, no. No rebuttal. Just shut up. You’re not funny. You’re not cute. You’re not witty. You’re an idiot. We all think so. We all hate you. Your wife and kids are embarrassed by you. So. Shut up.

@tatum_defender @tylermilliken_ Thanks for the reminder. 🤪

@fricka8 @tylermilliken_ Remember, there’s no better time to be miserable on twitter than a beautiful Sunday afternoon

Roman Anthony being “awful” was still one of the better bats on this team. xwOBA leaders on the Red Sox (minimum 10 PA): 1. Willson Contreras - .392 2. Mickey Gasper - .382 3. Wilyer Abreu - .364 4. Roman Anthony - .353 5. Andruw Monasterio - .326 6. Ceddanne Rafaela - .302

@BBGreatMoments Random: Bob “Monty” Montgomery. Met/saw him at a charity tournament he played at the golf course I worked at with Jim Rice and Denny Doyle every year. Always pleasant and chatted about how the greens were rolling. Kinda corny dad joke funny.

Who’s the nicest MLB player you’ve ever had the chance to meet?

@CallofDuty Shootout

What's a map you'd recognize just by looking at the Tac Map? 🗺️

@BBGreatMoments Manny

Which player do you think of when you see these type of helmet?

@dirranemaker @pick_six22 Eli

When I had a wife and side chick. The side piece got in her feelings, called the wife, told her everything 😩 Got that call at work, we need to talk. Scary!!!!!! Me: She lying baby…

@Victor832244713 @RealBobTheDog @JaneDoeryah @BattleByrd Omg! You owned an aerator? Well wtf do I know. Decompaction of your home lawn sure. Golf course maintenance is completely another animal. On greens, softening is the last thing you’d want to accomplish.

@Victor832244713 @RealBobTheDog @JaneDoeryah @BattleByrd You couldn’t be more wrong.

"Yeah I'd like to book a tee time for tomorrow at 8:30." Groundskeeper as soon as you get off the phone...
