Every Wednesday after practice our guys walk around the field and call their loved ones. Just to say we love you and hello. We all need to do a better job of this. This is a family program. #GoWild

- The state of college baseball recruiting is so disheartening. Cutting kids because you can just go find someone else in the portal is going against everything college athletics is about. You recruited the player. Now go and give him a good experience and develop him.
- Uncommitted catchers: When sending emails, can we start recognizing the difference between your “showcase pop time” and your in-game pop time? Realmuto is the MLB leader with an average 1.89. It’s hard to believe you’re getting the ball to second base more efficiently than him.
- Can we get back to the point where dugouts are loud and engaged - with the energy being directed at the guys wearing your own uniform? Less of this, please: “By you” “Doors” “Get him a bucket” “Strike out video boy” (what in the world does this even mean?) Players in the dugout
- So. David Ortiz — included on the “Mitchell Report” for testing positive for PEDs in 2003 is a hall of famer. And Barry Bonds is not. The hypocrisy is baffling.
- When your playing career is done and you’re sitting at a wedding talking to your former teammates - you won’t remember the wins and losses. The big wins and loses? Sure. You’ll remember: - bus rides (mafia) - hotels - going to that nasty buffet because your coach is crazy -
- JUCO needs for the fall or 2025: 1B 2B SS 3B C P We have a big senior class! Looking to reload! Please drop video or send me a dm!! @BaseballCf @BUncommitted
- Heartbroken. My coach. My mentor. My friend. I love you.
- Coaches — please stop trying to recruit guys who have been enrolled in school and been in our program for multiple years. We’re not a junior college. They aren’t yours to recruit. At least call me before you call our players.
- 🚨2025s🚨 With me managing in the summer, I don’t get out as much to watch you guys as I’d like. So let’s do this thing, here! Either DM me or drop a comment on here and I’ll DM you! Things I’d like to see/know GPA Where you’re from Position HT/WT Want to visit? Video
- My grandfather passed away overnight. He was my last surviving grandfather. I’m sad. I’m sad for my grandmother whose husband of 65 years is no longer here. I’m sad for my mom, whose dad will no longer call her. We will miss him very much. Call those loved ones 🙏
- Kid was recruited. Deposited. Registered for classes. De-commits as he was continuously talking to other schools. What are we doing? Do relationships matter anymore? Do kids want a relationship with their coaches? I’m left scratching my head more often than not recently.
- Just received an email about a 2024 graduate. “He has established himself as one of the top 2024 players in the country”. He’s 11 — please let him be 11.
- Hitting coaches: Silence is ok. Silence and letting a guy take his round is better than making words up just to hear yourself talk. Be a “swing therapist” not a “swing doctor”. The best time to talk to a hitter about what he’s feeling, in my opinion, is while picking the
