Dawg we might have the greatest group of teenagers of all time

@mariotomich It literally is a strategy

We've become so sedentary that going for a walk is now considered a strategy for fat loss.

@EasyE65 @cohen_sean @dylantyrrrell Aaron Judge has had MONSTER seasons with a K rate in that range. Its all about quality of contact, in which Wood is in a class of maybe a half dozen guys in the world.

@TheChefMilb @cohen_sean @dylantyrrrell Also, I should add this just for clarity, I read the OP as saying that he was a superstar in general as opposed to focusing on the first few weeks of this season because the K rate he mentioned lines up with what Wood has done in the past.

He hits the funniest homers. He’s a superstar at 30% k rate . Not many guys can pull that off

@EasyE65 @cohen_sean @dylantyrrrell Third in baseball w 8 home runs w 4 stolen bases and a 157 WRC+ is a superstar

@cohen_sean @dylantyrrrell Extremely generous use of the word “superstar.”

@Froggod23 @cohen_sean he had 4 walks last night and is starting to get a better K:BB over the past 10 games

@cohen_sean He almost broke the K record his first full year lol it should get better but he watches to many balls and is way to selective

If you’re a dad with young kids and you’re healthy and fit. And you’ve got a steady job/career and a roof over your head. And a great wife. Please recognize this: you are living the dream life. The “good old days” are literally happening to you right now.

@JackBeTrader @VigilantFox Bro every day should be tv free. Cmon.

@VigilantFox Our boys are 3 and 5. We do no-TV days Tue/Thu/Sun. No phones no tablets. Tablet only on big road trips/plane rides/hospital waits. It doesn’t exist outside of those places

Lara Trump reveals she’s raising her kids screen-free, says it’s “amazing” to see how creative they are without them. “Eric and I do not allow our kids an iPad, an iPhone.” “When we go out to a restaurant, phones down for us [adults], too.” “We’re not doing that. We want to interact together. And it’s amazing to see what our kids will come up with creatively just on their own, the games they make up…” “You look at a table in any restaurant, half the people are on their phones. And I think that’s a really scary place. I don’t like that at all.”

@OliverBCushing @allie__voss Derek Carr star QB that made hundreds of millions NEVER missed a Church service as a youth football player. Not one..

If your metric of whether youth sports are beneficial is the percentage of athletes that play professionally, then you don't understand what it brings to their lives. Youth sports teach hard work, discipline, team work, and goal setting. As an added benefit, they can (and often do!) make lifelong friends and create everlasting memories. To miss a few Church services in your early years for this is completely acceptable. You have your entire life to attend Church - you only have a few years when you are a kid!

It’s not just Catholics, travel sports in America occupy a really weird niche in family life It’s completely normalized to have your kids’ weekends monopolized by sports they’ll never play professionally, and many Christian families see no issue with it preventing church

@jensen_juicy @Nationals if you had to choose 2 between Taitn Gray, J Hartshorn and Ronny Cruz, curious who you would choose? Love your content Alex!

I was pretty high on Ronny Cruz last year, but even I didn’t expect him to come out of the gates like this. Honestly, the whole @Nationals MiLB hitting dev seems to have jumped a bit this year. But I’m buying Cruz as a real helium name and a guy I expect to rocket up the rankings. He’s got a lot of similarities to Ronny Mauricio at a similar age.

@Polar_Bear_Ball Choose 2 lol

@Polar_Bear_Ball Him, taitn gray, Josiah hartshorn choose 3!

Josh Adamczewski was a top 100 prospect for me before the season, he might be rising up more with this type of play Now up to 5 home runs in 27 ABs and an OPS of 1.360 #ThisIsMyCrew #MilwaukeeBrewers

@high_upside Hartshorn, Taitn Gray, Justin Gonzales... choose 2!

Josiah Hartshorn (OF/1B, CHC) - The overslot 6th round 2025 pick has had no problem adjusting to A ball. Known for his power, the 19 year old has 7 hits and 9 walks in 27 PA with a HR. He's struck out once and is running an 87.5% contact%. Still only 5% rostered on Fantrax.

A lesson in how to be an old grumpy man… without ruining it for everyone else by Buck Showalter

Bedtimes are one of the best opportunities for parents to connect with their kids As kids wind down, their nervous systems are calmer & they are are more receptive to what you have to say This is a great time to talk about important concepts like gratitude, kindness & mindset Kids who get consistent 1-on-1 time before bed have better mental health & stronger bonds with parents This is one habit you will both be happier for building

@toomuchtom1 @ShermStu_2 @ForTheDadsPod You didn’t really name her that right?

@ShermStu_2 She may or may not have fallen out of the cart later on this hole. Magnolia loves golf. She really just likes spending time with dad. Keep it up SHERM. @ForTheDadsPod

Took my daughter to the range today cause it was Masters Sunday. 5min in a man in his 70’s came & stood in front of me with some tears in his eyes and said, “Buddy, I’d write ya a blank check rn if I could go back & be in your shoes. This is the good stuff man.. don’t waste it.”

Y un día te vas a dar cuenta de que ya no existe ese bullicio infantil que tanto desgasta; y ese caos armónico es silencio ruidoso porque las hojas del calendario no perdonan. Y es de repente... de repente caes en la cuenta de que la bañera ya no es un baúl desastre lleno de juguetes, y que no te han dejado en el lavabo ese balón de gomaespuma, ni hay muñecas en un sofá dormido, ni playmobils esparramados por la casa... Y un día te vas a dar cuenta de que no hay carreras por pasillos interminables; ni risas a hurtadillas en la cama para desafiar el sueño; ni cuentos a quien leer, ni sábanas a quien tapar a medianoche, ni almas respirando sueños... Y un día te vas a dar cuenta de que la despensa está llena de recuerdos y que sobran platos en la mesa; y que todo está en orden... sin mochilas en el suelo de la entrada, sin lápices desordenados en pupitres de colores, ni esa ropa que no entra en el cesto y que las camas no se deshacen... Y un día... serás huérfano de tus hijos que crecieron con el permiso de la vida. Y te sentarás en el sillón sabio del libro que echa de menos una voz inocente que le interrumpa. Y cada página que pases, léela con detenimiento porque esa... ya no vuelve. Es la vida. Emilio Leiva Visto en redes. #EstoyTriste #NidoVacio

Take it from me, a recent empty nester: The Good Old Days don’t feel like it at the time. It feels more like hard work and struggle. The days are long but the years fly by. Then, one day you wake up and the house is quiet. One of my most cherished memories is coming home from work each day and opening the creaky back door to our 1947 craftsman home. My 3-year-old daughter (now 21) would drop her toys and run down the hall—her footsteps booming on the old wood floor—to greet me. I love my life and don’t want to go back, but I do wish I could pass one message across time to 35-year-old me: You’re living the Good Old Days right now. Savor every moment.

@Jimfrombaseball The best hitter ever also a douche bag

"Ted Williams was debating whether to play in the "Jimmy Fund Game" in Boston, at Fenway in 1972. Wiilliams wasn't sure until Mr. Yawkey asked him personally to play, so he did. Ted came into the dugout looking for a bat for batting practice. He was in the zone now, not like the rest of us. I used a W183 bat, I had no idea what it stood for, but he picked out that bat, and I later found out the W stood for Williams! Ted grabbed the bat and said: 'Now this is a damn good bat.' Then he went looking for pine tar and screamed out: 'There's too much f****** oil in this pine tar, no wonder you guys can't f****** hit.' So Ted walked to the plate, and Lee Stange was throwing. Ted screamed at him: 'Now throw the ball hard, don't be throwing any shit up here.' He took the first pitch. Ted Williams always took the first pitch. I looked at a teammate and said" 'I hope he swings and misses 20 times.' Ted took 15 swings, and hit every one on the sweet spot. He hit every one hard. I looked at Nellie Fox after the round and said: 'Nellie, that was pretty impressive…. The guy hasn't picked up a bat in five years and he hit every ball hard'. Nellie Fox just looked at me and said: 'Ted`s been hitting in the cage for six weeks, just in case he decided to play today. You didn't really think Ted Williams would go out there and embarrass himself?" Tom Grieve's experience with Ted Williams.

@bowtiedmeathead Never bought or wore it since kaep incident.

Spent the last few days in one of the most affluent parts of the country (palm beach county) and haven’t seen one person wearing Nike sneakers or apparel. Most people are wearing On Clouds and Hokas, lulu clothing and Vuori. Is Nike out of style these days or just a low low/mid class thing? Was never a fan of Nike myself. The whole Colin Kaepernick thing completely did me in. Said I would never endorse their brand after they used him to politicize sports.
