@ArbThief @OddsJam How do you avoid getting limited or get limits removed some books started limiting my wager amount

My player called time while at bat to adjust his batting gloves. Bro you haven’t made contact all week I don’t think the tightness of your batting gloves is the issue. #mlbbaseball #battinggloves

Told my right fielder to back up. He took a step forward. Baseball IQ of a lawn chair holy shit. #baseballcoach #mlbdraft

Opposing coach asked me if we could end the game in the 3rd inning since we were already up 23-0. I said no way am I depriving my players of a full 6 inning game of baseball because your players don’t know how to hit, pitch, or field. #travelcoach #baseballseason #mlb

One of the moms from my team asked me if I could make sure no one in the dugout had peanuts because her son has a peanut allergy. I told her until her son is hitting .300 a peanut allergy should be the least of her concerns. #baseballcoach #peanutallergy #growup

A player’s dad pulled me aside and said “we just want him to have fun.” Dude he’s 12 and leading the league in strikeouts. No one is having fun.

[Tony Russo @CoachTony2Seam]

Opposing coach told me how disrespectful I was for not shaking hands with his team after the game. Sorry I’d rather be on time for the Morgan Wallen concert I was going to after the game than high five a bunch of 12 year olds that we just beat 14-0. #morganwallen #baseballlife

I know you all have missed me. I was in jail the last few days. Mikey went 0 for 5 with 5 strikeouts including the strikeout to end the PG Championship game with the tying run on 3rd. Bottom line I beat the shit out of him on the field. #baseballcoach #jail #released

My shortstop fucked up a double play because he said the runner slid into 2nd base too late. Next practice I made him stand on second base and had the rest of the team slide into late one after the other for an hour straight. No ballerinas will be on my team. #ballerinas #beisbol

You’re not a “utility player” if you’re bad at every position. That’s called a liability. #utilityplayer #liability #beisbol #MLBTradeDeadine

[Tony Russo @CoachTony2Seam]

One of my players complained that his elbow hurt. From what? Whiffing too hard on that 0-2 fastball down the middle? #elbowpain #whiff #baseballcoach #baseballtwitter

Johnny got thrown out at home in our game yesterday after running through my stop sign. Today I saw him crossing the street on my way home from Taco Bell. Let’s just say I went through a stop sign too. Hopefully he learned a valuable lesson about stop signs. #stopsigns #tacobell

[Tony Russo @CoachTony2Seam]

Johnny threw his helmet after striking out. Bold for someone hitting .132 on the season. #helmet #strikeout #baseballhof

[Tony Russo @CoachTony2Seam]

My biggest pet peeve as a coach is my players striking out looking. If my players want to watch 55 mph, they can do so on the side of the highway as they walk home from the game. #baseballcoach #walk #petpeeve

[Tony Russo @CoachTony2Seam]

Heard the opposing coach tell his team to “go out there and just have fun.” Not really sure what’s fun about being down 8-0 in the 2nd inning. #baseball #coach #mercy

[Tony Russo @CoachTony2Seam]

Heard Mikey say to his teammates when he got back into the dugout that he “almost” hit a home run. No Mikey, you hit a fly out. Sit down. #almost #baseballcoach #MLBDraft #homerunderby2025

[Tony Russo @CoachTony2Seam]

Saw some of my players trying to make a tik tok in the parking lot after the game. Heard Mikey go “I don’t know that dance.” Yeah Mikey you don’t know how to hit a fastball either. Get to the fucking cages. #tiktok #baseballcoach #cages

[Tony Russo @CoachTony2Seam]

Just cut a kid from my 12U team today. Some kids just aren’t meant for the game these days. Yes he’s hitting .350 halfway through the season but rejected my offer of some chewing tobacco in the 6th inning. Not dealing with any princesses on my team. #baseballcoach #tobacco #wimp

If one more parent tries to coach my team from over the fence I’m making them run poles. #parents #baseballcoach #mlbsecondhalf

[Tony Russo @CoachTony2Seam]

Your son isn’t “underrated.” He’s accurately rated. As fucking awful. #UnderRated #baseballcoach
