- Just witnessed two parents and a coach yelling and screaming at an umpire over a call at 1B in a 14U game when he is working by himself because there is a huge umpire shortage....and they wonder why there is an umpire shortage ๐คฆโโ๏ธ #stayclassy
- Players should walk on the field and believe they are the best player, or act as though they donโt care who is. Confidence is built through hard work. Want more confidence and trust from your players and teammates? Earn it through busting your ass.
- My boys lost in the region semi finals today 5-2. They finished season with a 32-25 record....This group is going to be very hard to watch leave. I cannot thank them enough for their hard work, dedication, and their ability to be pushed. They truly are a great group.Thanks Men
- Value two things in life over anything else, 1-family (both blood and non blood) and 2-loyalty. Surround yourself with both and youโll never find yourself wondering whoโs got your back
- Blue Storm opened up with 2 wins vs STLCC defeating the Archers 13-9 and 12-1. Jake Overbeck (1-0) and Nate Hokanson (1-0) earn the wins on the mound. Colin Bertsch lead the way on the day with 5 hits. Michael Goehrig HR in Game 2. Back in action Friday at 1:00 at GCS.
- You can either preach about what type of culture you demand in your program or you can recruit and develop the right players to create it and watch it build. ๐ช๐ช#JUCOFAMILY
- This is what itโs all about. Play the game hard and with emotion....and have some damn fun. Old school baseball fans never complain about Joe Carter or Bill Mazeroski having fun after a Walkoff. The game isnโt played in a library... leave it all out there.
- Thank you very much. Iโm very lucky and blessed to have had great coaches and players over the last eight years that made this possible. ๐ต๐ช
- Thank you Brownie. ๐ฝ KCL LEGEND RIP Brother. You saved baseball in 2020 for 100 college players Life in the KCL in the summer of 2020 was incredible and it was because of you. The greatest game in the world allows you to truly meet some of the best people. Thank you Brownie.
- Walk Off Win for the Blue Storm over John A Logan 5-4 in extras.
