ESPN will televise axe throwing, tag, cornhole, and not college baseball. The national pastime. Tag? Really?

- Umpire shortage. Why don't local colleges offer students a 3 hour P.E. credit to umpire high school, middle school, youth games? 2 birds, 1 stone.
- NIL, portal, coaches salaries, transfers...can all be traced to 9u teams with walk up music, team moms, Dads in turfs, giant gear bags being carried by parents, and t-ball all star teams.
- This is a 1st team High School All American in 2021. It was his turn to vacuum so he vacuumed. No discussion, no argument. He hit .640 with 10 bombs. He vacuumed. He was 3-0 with 3 saves and a micro ERA. It was his turn, he vacuumed. #credo
- IMO, Baseball is a living thing. It has a heartbeat and pulse. It may not reward you now, but in the end it will. It recognizes when you respect it, play hard, do extra work, show up early, and love it.
- Derek Jeter - 254 errors in 20 years. 12 per year Ozzie Smith (regarded as the most elite defender of all-time) 281 errors in 19 years. 14 per year The Jeter couldn't play defense is a tired one.
- Velocity is irrelevant if you can't spot it or spin it.
- If you have a guy that does your field...thank him a 100 times a day. I don't have that guy...so Thank you Me. #credo
- Why not have every team play a game in a non AAA minor league park. Let people that can't get to in mlb city see it. Charge normal prices. Raffle to see who gets tickets. Give gate to charity. Mandatory autographs. Always next day off for teams. Grow the game & brand.
- If your hitters are barreling everything in BP...they aren't being challenged. If you aren't challenging them...you aren't helping them. If they aren't failing, you are.
- H.S. Players...keep in mind...if you want to play at the next level, you are trying to impress scouts and coaches of a different generation. There aren't any 18-20 uearvold scouts. Your look, attitude, and play needs to cross any generational gap.
- The look on the kids face....a generation that has been allowed to pop off and has never been punched in the face.That man had a look in his eyes only a drunk college student could create
- See coaches say play multiple sports and then have AAU basketball and spring football right in the middle of spring sports. Check yourself.
