I’ll be the first to say it, I want the Padres to trade for Davis Schneider if Toronto isn’t going to use him everyday or bounce him between AAA.

What do you say?…
When will pitching coaches return to actually coaching pitching. You’re getting lost in metrics and guess what, the outcomes aren’t any better, in fact, they are worse. ⚾️ #MLB#baseball#pitching
Earl Weaver suspended 21-year-old outfielder Lou Piniella from his Double-A team in Elmira, New York, after they got into a clubhouse shouting match.
Piniella returned to the room he shared with shortstop Mark Belanger and decided to take a few days off.
But when another player got hurt, Weaver needed Piniella back.
The manager showed up at the apartment, and, according to Piniella, this is sort of how the conversation went:
Weaver: “Where the hell were you?”
Piniella: “You sent me home.”
Weaver: “Well, someone got hurt last night. I need you.”
Piniella: “I’m not playing. You suspended me.”
Weaver: “I’m not kidding.”
Piniella: “I’m not kidding.”
Earl Weaver once told Lou Piniella he’d never make it in the big leagues because he was too much of a hothead.
“Well, you’re a fine example,” Piniella shot back.
"Lou Piniella was my kind of ballplayer, he got the job done.
You can count on him to play every day, and you could count on him in the clutch, especially in the clutch."
Elmira Pioneers Mgr. Earl Weaver.
No one mentions that in winter ball, Lou Piniella was coached by Charlie Lau!!!!
Remember those mornings and nights when you just want to end it all- send me a message. We’ll go through it together. I’ve had those thoughts a million times.
I’m not going to convince you of anything, I’m going to tell you something that I hope will show you something. 👐
