Christian walk: Peace is not the absence of sorrow, grief, or adversity. It’s the presence of the Holy Spirit.
Hitting/Pitching: Confidence is not the absence of failure. It’s the presence of knowing you’re capable.

Greg Maddux explains how velocity gets you drafted, but movement and command keep you around. An unreal listen from one of the best ever.

@shegone03 @Teacherman1986 @notgaetti @BobFile @billdubs @iamrags @artofhitting Well technically he does “launch from one leg, snap, and tilt” 😜

[Fryedaddy/Frito @shegone03]

Now @Teacherman1986 is criticizing me when I hit a homer.

This homer was part of the CYCLE I hit for in 2001 for the @BlueJays

I wonder if lil richie ever hit for the CYCLE in the @MLB

We all know the answer right?

When your greatest athletic achievement in 70 years is coming in 2nd in a pool tournament you probably shouldn’t talk 💩 to Big Leaguers!

A PARENT’S JOURNEY THROUGH YOUTH SPORTS:

Age 5: “He’s got a cannon.”
Age 6: “He’s the fastest kid out there. Coach said so.”
Age 7: “Rec ball isn’t challenging him anymore.”
Age 8: “We tried out for select. Obviously made it.”
Age 9: “$2,800 for the season. Plus uniforms. Plus tournaments. Plus hotels.”
Age 10: “Cooperstown is basically a family vacation, right?”
Age 11: “He needs a hitting guy. And a pitching guy. And probably a mental performance coach.”
Age 12: “I’m not a crazy sports parent. The OTHER parents are crazy.”
Age 13: “We changed schools. For academics. (And also baseball.)”
Age 14: “Showcases are a requirement at this age.”
Age 15: “Ya his ranking just ticked up. We’re cooking.”
Age 16: “He just needs to get seen by the right school.”
Age 17: “The D1 schools want him to walk on. He’ll earn a spot by sophomore year.”
Age 18: “Okay, D2 is actually really competitive.”
Age 19: “He’s redshirting. Strategic.”
Age 20: “He’s focusing on school now.”
Age 21: “You know what? He’s so much happier.”

Roughly 7% of high schoolers play in college.

About 1.5% of those get drafted.

Less than half of draftees ever play one day in the big leagues.

The odds of our kids going pro are somewhere between “struck by lightning” and “find a $100 in old shorts.”

I love youth sports (all my kids play a bunch of them) just keep a good perspective my friends. ✌️

[Hitters Club @HittersClub]

@shegone03 @notgaetti @BobFile @billdubs @iamrags @artofhitting @hittingguru7 @slider_sinker @SliderDom @low_and_outside @TheRealJHair Old time baseball is dead and gone. It’s a shame today’s kids won’t have the opportunity to experience what we grew up with.
Humility, respect, gratitude, sacrifice, grit, have been replaced by selfishness, softness, spoiled attention whores. That’s pro sports & today’s society.

[Jeff Passan @JeffPassan]

I’ve been watching a lot of the Juco World Series this week on ESPN+, and it’s the purest form of baseball I’ve seen in ages. No K zone. No radar gun. Dodgy field. Just guys chasing dreams and a ring. I couldn't love it more. Especially considering this is who’s pitching tonight.

With everything we are hearing right now about ticks this seems like good information to share.

“Here’s what I’ve learned after more ticks than I care to count.
First, whatever your uncle told you, forget it. No matches. No nail polish. No Vaseline. No soap on a cotton ball. All of those do the same terrible thing, they stress the tick out, and a stressed tick empties its gut back into the bite before letting go. Which, if you think about what that actually means for a second, is literally how Lyme and the rest get transmitted so you’re not speeding up its exit. You’re making it throw up into you.
Fine-tipped tweezers. Grip right where the mouthparts enter the skin, not the body, the head. Pull straight up, steady, no twisting, no jerking. It’ll feel like it’s resisting because it is, the mouthparts are barbed. Just keep the pressure on and it lets go in a few seconds. If a piece breaks off in the skin, leave it alone. Your body pushes splinters out. Digging around with a needle does more damage then the fragment ever would.
Clean it with alcohol or soap. Wash your hands.
Now here’s the part most people skip: don’t flush the tick.
Tape it to an index card. Clear packing tape right over the body, write the date and where on your body it was, and stick the card in a drawer. If you come down with anything weird in the next 30 days, rash, fever, joint pain, that flu-that-isn’t-flu feeling, that tick goes with you to the doctor. Some labs will test the tick itself, which is faster and often more reliable than waiting for antibodies to show up in your own blood. A dated tick taped to a card is one of the most useful things you can hand a doctor who’s trying to figure out what’s wrong with you.
The other thing worth saying out loud: if the tick was engorged when you pulled it, and you can’t swear it was off your body within 24 hours, call your doctor that same day. Don’t wait for a rash. Fewer than three out of four Lyme cases even produce the classic bullseye. A single preventive dose of doxycycline within 72 hours of a deer tick bite cuts the Lyme odds way down, and most docs in tick country will write that prescription without giving you a hard time, especially if you walk in with the tick taped to a card and a clear timeline.”

Hydroxychloroquine allows viruses to attack cancer cells while leaving healthy cells alone.

Seems like information the public deserves to know.

Why do you think they tried to obscure this data in the study? Maybe because it would be bad for the cancer industry’s business.

"I was in L.A. watching [Eddie Murray] take batting practice... the whole 1st round was the ugliest swings I've seen in my life... I walked up to him and said Eddie what were you trying to do in that 1st round? He goes, that was infield back man on 3rd less than 2 outs I got 2 strikes and I'm just trying to put it in play"

Will Clark tells the story of watching Eddie Murray prepare in batting practice and how it changed his thought process.

[Hitters Club @HittersClub]

@shegone03 @MLB @notgaetti @BobFile @twuench Jeff I’m curious what your mlb pitcher buddies have to say about this. Im sure they would prefer to throw to an “old style “ Bench, Fisk, etc type catcher.
We teach our pitchers to attack their focal point, if thats the glove, good luck with it moving all over the place.

[Clint Hurdle @ClintHurdle13]

I've watched hitters come back to the dugout struggling, and their eyes were empty. Sad. Scared. They had started measuring their worth by their last at-bat. That's a losing game in baseball and in life.

[Dr. Ismael Gallo DPT, MBA @flowsdoc]

My JUCO coach used to say “When you’re struggling at the plate, keep your hands up and work down. 99.9% of the time you’re missing under”

🚨 Incredible stage 4 breast cancer recovery story from Dr. John Campbell!

An 83-year-old woman was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer that had spread to her liver, spine, bones, and lungs — basically a death sentence. She declined chemo, went on hospice, but started taking 222 mg fenbendazole daily. After 8 months:

Tumor marker (CA27.29) crashed from 316 → 36
PET scan showed ZERO abnormal metabolic activity indicating cancer

Dr. Campbell walks through the full case — mind-blowing results. Fenbendazole is getting serious attention for its potential anticancer actions (microtubule disruption, apoptosis induction, angiogenesis inhibition & more).

What do you think — should repurposed medicines like this get more research?

[TRUMP SUPPORTER @_Postive_Vibes]

SENATOR JOHN KENNEDY: "It strikes me as breathtakingly ironic that that the people who are screaming so loudly about President Trump's decision to audit federal spending, are the very same people who wanted to hire 80,000 new IRS agents with guns to audit the American people."
