@kennyfgan Immediate follow from me!

[Fryedaddy/Frito @shegone03]

This makes me sick to my stomach!!!

It doesn’t matter how hard your 8 year old throws folks!

They should be having fun, learning the game and making friends!

THAT’S IT!

Shame on you @ArmCarecom 👎🏻

ABSOLUTE LEGEND: I 100% back my Brother on this -
If you do something Absurd- like toss him for your bad call -

And double down on that bad call:….
In a tight game.
In a stadium where the poor design makes you walk across the field to leave….
Fine….

What do you want him to do?
Jog?

Nope.
Walk.

Head Held High
Shoulders Back
💼 in Hand.

That’s a Man
That’s a Man who gives a shit about his team.
Fights for them.

I would have been way more petty…
I would have walked the track, the longest way possible….
Got lost 3 times….
Tied my shoes.
Each one,
Twice….

And thrown a Nixon double peace sign
Or thrown a Truman bow…

Just :
Watch the Umpires- they wouldn’t even look him in the eye…
They all turned thier backs

You don’t do that if you are right….

You know it.
We know it.

Walk…..

Head Held High
Shoulders Back
💼 in Hand.

“Your boos mean nothing to me, I’ve seen what makes you cheer”

Slow Clap….
🫡 Respect.

Dad would have loved it.

Fight for It .
Break every bone…

Or walk Slow.
Make them sit in it.

I wish I was there…..
I would have walked with you…
@KirkSaarloosTCU is a legend

- your brother

@Nun_Ya_25 @kylegeorg @anymanfitness @JohnRew18 Closer representation than you. Just saying.. when did we get to place where the guy off the street has better perspective?

[Blake Davis @JB_Davis732]

@RyanLSack @DTGotera Funny… what is showing up at older ages does not reflect that.

[Blake Davis @JB_Davis732]

@defib4life @tybuttrey_ Because their best athletes play baseball! Yes they also have huge incentives to do so.

[Blake Davis @JB_Davis732]

@tybuttrey_ What ages are we talking about? I think it is important to clarify.

[Blake Davis @JB_Davis732]

@HPBAac Very similar to the full court press in youth basketball. It is a cheat code for coaches to pound in their chest. Love that leadership is showing up on the baseball side because these people can rationalize anything to justify getting what they want.

[Blake Davis @JB_Davis732]

@wjeffpetty Hey kid…. Throw strikes, field your position and be sure you manage the running game🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️.

[Blake Davis @JB_Davis732]

@NVTBLRobHahne @wjeffpetty Amen! Meanwhile you have 9U pitchers having to manage the running game. The absolute last thing they need to be worried about.

Really cool moment last night in Tiger, Georgia.

Community members greeted the Rabun County boys basketball team with fireworks as they returned to campus after winning their first state championship in program history yesterday afternoon.

@Challenger_ST How did players aquire these tools for decades before specialized training showed up? I’m amazed I scouted so many athletes with tools all these years?

[Clint Hurdle @ClintHurdle13]

Our children aren't here to live out OUR dreams. They're here to discover their own.

I've seen too many parents force-feeding their hopes, dreams, and desires on their children.

Very rarely does it work out well.

God gives us freedom of choice

My son, Christian, retired from baseball when he was 4.

He chose karate, then tennis, then crew. Sports I knew nothing about.

He stole the two basic things every dad needs: the ability to second-guess the coach and over-coach his own kid.

All I could do was show up, drive, and cheer. And when the game was over, I'd just say "I loved watching you do what you do."

Some parents say, "I'll let him do whatever he wants, and maybe he'll come back to baseball."

Stop. You just ruined it. You're still holding on.

Your job as a parent isn't to mold them into who you want them to be. It's to put them in the best position to be happy and successful at what THEY love to do.

[Blake Davis @JB_Davis732]

This post is amazing in so many levels! Super cool to see a coach have this kind of impact. It is also amazing to see an accomplished big leaguer separate youth sports into appropriate buckets.

Coaching & leadership matter.

[Jonathan Lucroy @JLucroy20]

I played for this man for 3 years. He came to my wedding and traveled to watch me play in the big leagues many times. He gave me a D1 scholarship when no one else wanted a 5-11 175lb catcher from Florida. He meant more to me than any other coach I’ve ever played for, and that is saying a lot.

If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have had the mental toughness, mentality, or grit this game demands of you in order to play at this baseballs highest level.

I have a quote I like to tell my players.

“If you don’t like it, play better.”

The game of baseball is strictly merit based. You have to earn it. Even at the youth level.

Ages 12 and below, I’m good with everyone playing and learning the game. Above that age, then you have to earn your spot. There is a point where the player has to choice to work for it, or not. Puberty is the time that it generally happens in my opinion.

As a side note, if your kid isn’t the best player when he’s 12, don’t panic. Development takes time, and once puberty hits, the physical change happens quick.

RIP Coach Robe.

The amount of baseball accounts, that say they were scouts is crazy…a Bird Dog/Associate Scout for a club, doesn’t give you the right to say you were an MLB scout…You were not. Unless you were a salaried contract scout, you’re and never were a scout. In today’s world of the internet, Baseball Reference and the Baseball America Directory is a fact check. If you were not in the latter, you were not a scout.
