Justin Verlander reveals the game that convinced him to stop throwing as hard as he could

“The whole knock on me early in my career was that I threw too many pitches. I’d throw 120 pitches, but I was only going six innings.”

“I had a game in Boston where we really needed me to get deep in the game. Our bullpen was shot. I go out the first couple innings, and I look up and I’ve got sixty-something pitches.”

“To me, the most important thing for that game was to chew innings. I was like, ‘I can’t keep this pace.’ So I ended up slowing myself down. I was throwing fastballs at 89. I threw a changeup in that game at 91 and threw a fastball at 89 in the same game.”

“I just pulled the throttle way back. I was like, ‘Man, here, hit it. Put it in play.’ All of a sudden, I was like, ‘Man, I am really able to hit my spot.’”

“I basically took that mentality and flipped it going into the next season. Let me try starting games like this and then building up as I go. If I get in trouble, I’ve always got it in my back pocket.”

“I always viewed it from the hitter’s perspective as you’re facing three different pitchers in three different at-bats, and they’re progressively getting harder to hit.”

A Secret Service agent who protected Trump recently said something that SHOCKED everyone: “Trump has RUINED me — I could never protect another President the same way again.” And before you assume he meant that as criticism, WAIT until you understand what he really meant by “ruined,” because his explanation of Trump has left people across the Secret Service deeply emotional.

Here’s what the agent meant by “Trump ruined me”:

This Secret Service agent had protected several Presidents before Trump. He was professionally trained, followed every rule, and performed his duty with discipline, distance, and dedication. He protected each President the same way — until he was assigned to Trump. That’s when EVERYTHING changed.

The agent explained:

“Trump RUINED me for this job. Not because he’s difficult — but because he’s completely different. Trump knows my NAME. Other Presidents called me ‘agent.’ Trump calls me by my actual name.

He knows my WIFE’S name. He knows my CHILDREN’S names. He asks about my son’s baseball games. Trump notices when I’ve been standing for 8 hours and tells me, ‘Sit down, you need to rest.’

During long days, Trump makes sure EXTRA food is available: ‘Make sure my guys eat first.’

When my FATHER passed away, Trump came to his funeral. No cameras. No reporters. No publicity. He simply came to honor the man who raised the person protecting him.

After being treated like THIS — how could I ever return to being just ‘agent’ to another President?

After Trump remembered my CHILDREN’S names, how could I protect someone who wouldn’t even bother learning mine?

After Trump treated me like FAMILY, how could I go back to feeling like FURNITURE?

Trump RUINED me.

He raised the standard so HIGH for how a President can treat the people protecting him that I could never accept the old standard again.

That’s what I mean when I say he ‘ruined’ me.”

Here’s what this confession supposedly shows: Trump didn’t simply have Secret Service agents protecting him — he made them feel VALUED, RESPECTED, and treated like FAMILY. Once someone experiences that kind of personal respect, it becomes impossible to accept being treated like nothing more than equipment.

Pitchers: don’t worry about your fall ERA.

Throw strikes. Get ahead. Work on the pitch you need to develop.

Learn how to pitch out of trouble. Learn how to compete on the days you don’t have your best stuff.

Fall ball isn’t about putting up numbers. It’s about becoming a better pitcher by the time spring gets here.

[Coach Beede @CoachBeede]

This week's assignment: take your son to one college game this fall. Any division, in fact, make it a division he thinks is beneath him. Watch his face in the third inning. Then ask Harvell's question on the drive home: Honestly, could you play here? The answer, either way, is worth more than a showcase invoice.

[Matt Miller @mattmiller59]

My dream…
D1. Draft pick. Big Leaguer.

My path…
One JUCO opportunity that came after my senior season ended. D1, but quit. D2, but had to sit out a season to get eligible again. Undrafted. Independent ball for 2 years. Signed with Texas. Released in Spring Training and back to Independent ball. Re-signed with Texas. Then San Diego. Then Oakland. Then Colorado. Finally… a Big Leaguer at 31 years old.

God has a plan for you, and chances are it looks a lot different than the dream you drew up.

Keep going. Keep believing. KNOCK DOWN DOORS. 👊🏼

[Coach Beede @CoachBeede]

What Marc Rardin told a showcase full of players the week before our interview, in its entirety: you have got to lift. The weight room, other than the classroom, is the most important room. It is not the bullpen. It is not the cage. A three-time national champion, given one message to deliver, chose the classroom and the weight room. Neither one charges admission on a Sunday.

Josh Allen reveals he had zero scholarship offers coming out of high school so he sent 1,000 emails with his highlights attached to every coach in the country, only two responded

“The email said something like, Hey, I’m Josh Allen. I’m 6’5”, 220 pounds. I feel like I’d be a great fit for your program. Here’s my Hudl. These are my stats… I literally just went copy, paste, copy, paste and sent it to every single coach I could find an email for.”

“I played in a small town called Firebaugh, California. I had zero offers out of high school. I had no preferred walk-ons. A couple Division III schools were trying to give me academic scholarships so I could go play there, but I didn’t want to make my parents pay for me to go somewhere.”

“So I went the junior college route. I felt like I was good enough to play, which is obviously why I kept going. I wanted to go to junior college, earn a scholarship and kind of pay my family back for everything they had done for me.”

“I also played football, basketball and baseball. I was a three-sport guy, so I didn’t spend my summers going around to every quarterback camp. I got the chance to play different sports, feel different emotions, meet different types of people and learn how to deal with all of it.”

“I think that’s something a lot of kids need to continue doing, play more sports. Every sport teaches you something that you can ultimately use later in life.”

No more excuses.
Players
You cannot gain weight or strength because you are not trying hard enough.
Get addicted to the weight room.
and
6000 calories per day.
Yes 6000 calories.
The 2500-3000 you are eating isn't close to enough.
Let's go.
You owe it to yourself.
Lift like a linebacker.
Eat like a lineman.

With college baseball fall practices starting back up, I’d highly suggest that high schoolers go check them out. I can promise you college baseball isn’t what your HS coach, travel coach, or “advisor” says it is. You wanna know where you stack up, go see it with your own eyes.

Von Miller reveals after Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman suspended him, he packed everything he owned into his truck and started driving to Florida to transfer, when he called his he dad told him not to quit, so he turned around and led the nation with 17.5 sacks the next season

“I had everything I owned in this blanket, and I went to my car. I threw it in the back and I’m driving home. I called my daddy. I’m like, ‘Daddy, man, I’m leaving. Coach Sherman kicked me off the team. I ain’t coming back until I do this and that.’”

“I’m thinking my dad is going, ‘All right, we’re going to find something else.’ He said, ‘Pull that truck over, turn around, and go back to school. You’re not quitting.’”

“I was like, ‘That was not the answer I was looking for.’ He was like, ‘You’re not just about to quit when it gets hard. You’re going to turn that truck back around. You’re going to go back to school and you’re going to fix it.’”

“I had tears going down my face. I was like, ‘Man, this is going to be so hard to fix all of this.’ I turned around. We had a meeting. Coach Sherman told my dad the exact same thing that he told me, and my dad agreed with Coach Sherman.”

“There was nowhere I could go. I just had to face the music. I had to face the truth. That spring was a hard one, but I got my grades up. I made it to all my classes. I went through the checklist of everything Coach Sherman wanted me to do.”

“That following year, my junior year, was the best year that I had up until that day. I led the nation in sacks. I had 17 and a half sacks. My life had totally changed. That was all a testament to running straight through the storm. The shortest way through the storm is straight. I put my head down and I worked, and my life totally changed that offseason.”

Talent might open the door. Consistency keeps you in the room.

Elon Musk sent a rocket to collect two astronauts another company left in orbit. The story died in a day.

Musk: “They totally memory-holed that thing. It’s like it didn’t exist.”

The setup starts ten years earlier.

In 2014 NASA paid two companies to carry humans. Boeing got 4.2 billion dollars. SpaceX got 2.6 billion for identical work.

The safe pick, the lobbyists, half a century of letterhead. Sixty percent more money.

SpaceX flew crew in 2020 and never stopped.

Boeing launched people in June 2024. Within hours of reaching orbit, the capsule was leaking helium and losing thrusters. It came home empty. NASA would not put a human back inside it.

Musk: “They’re only supposed to be at the space station for 3 to 6 months maximum.”

Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams did nine.

Redundancy was the entire argument for funding two vendors, and it worked exactly as designed. The cheap bid went up and collected the expensive bid’s passengers.

The system’s own logic vindicated the outsider it had spent a decade betting against, and it could not say so out loud.

Musk: “For political reasons, they did not want SpaceX or me to be associated with returning the astronauts before the election.”

NASA cited spacecraft processing and crew handover scheduling. Take that at face value. It does not help them.

Either the calendar was political, or a program built for this exact failure left two people in orbit past the limit while their ride sat docked to the station with two empty seats in it.

There is no version where the institution walks out clean.

That accounts for NASA. It does not account for the newsroom.

Musk: “I could save a busload of orphans, and it wouldn’t get a single news story.”

Rogan named the reason, and it has nothing to do with politics.

Rogan: “Because it was a successful launch, and you did rescue those people, nobody got hurt, and there was nothing really to, there was no blood to talk about.”

The press does not sell outcomes. It sells damage. A rescue that works gives them nothing to move.

Nobody died, nothing broke, nobody to hang.

Stack a tribal filter on an industry that only monetizes wreckage and you get a newsroom structurally incapable of reporting a good thing done by the wrong man.

Boeing torched two billion of its own money on a capsule that still has not flown a rotation. Covered.

Every Starship that came apart on ascent. Covered for days.

Two people walked out alive on the cheaper vehicle and it was off the cycle by dinner.

Same reporters. Same company. Only the wreckage was a product.

Now the part the blackout could not touch.

Not one minute of coverage moved the outcome. The hardware flew, the hatch opened, two Americans came home. Physics does not read the room and it does not run corrections.

The press still owns the story. It no longer owns what happens.

Coverage decides what people talk about. Hardware decides who comes home.
