I didn’t realize how good my parents raised me until I got around other people

Statcast is ruining a generation of folklore

“445ft”

Meanwhile we could have kids reminiscing 20 years from now saying “remember when Ace Reese put one on top of the trees? Yeah it went 550ft, furthest ball I’ve ever seen”

This girl called up her step dad upstairs to show him that she used his last name on her baseball jersey. Best thing you'll see today ❤️

[Alixon Herrera-Martinez @alixonmartinez2]

JUCO baseball is the only level where a future big leaguer, a guy on academic probation, and a 27-year-old reliever all share the same bullpen.

Gotta LOVE it

A lot of MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES disappear when bills are paid, rent is secure, and the fridge is full. Peace is expensive. And pretending money doesn't affect mental health is privilege.

Life is more beautiful when you have friends who know how to be friends.

Yeah this might be the best bat flip ever

[Matt Lisle @CoachLisle]

Players think: Play me and I'll show you.
Coaches think: Show me and I'll play you.

Brandon Crawford was a defensive wizard at shortstop 🧙‍♂️

when i tell a story, i include the MISTAKES i made TOO.

[Barstool Sports @barstoolsports]

Using a Honda Accord to drag the field before a game might be the most JUCO thing ever

[Going Yard Legacy Series @gyardlegacy]

If you’ve never seen a field get dragged by a Honda Civic before now you have!

[Kent Murphy @KentMurphy]

When Will Clark took on the entire Cardinals infield 🤧

[Troy Silva @TroyPSilva]

The “boring” stuff wins ballgames:

-Backing up the play
-Putting the ball in play
-Moving the runner
-Making the routine plays
-Consistent communication
-Throwing strikes
-Smart baserunning
-Taking your walks
-Getting HBP, holding your ground
-Hitting a cutoff man
-Hustling out everything

*At some point, the “boring” tasks of ⚾️ will win extra games! And more often than not, playoff berths, seedings, playoff wins, and even championships can be determined and decided by what many would call “boring.”
Turn the “boring” into the “important” and that’s how you win!

[Coach Swit @CoachSwit]

Back when I was coaching varsity baseball in California…

Facing a 90+ drafted arm.
We ran 5 straight suicide squeezes.
Worked 4 in a row—didn’t on the 5th.

Opposing coach: “Teach your kids to swing.”
Me: “Teach yours to defend a bunt.”

We won 4–2.
Adjust…or get beat.

[Balk Whisperer @balkwhisperer]

The Mississippi Power Play. Takes advantage of a 2-man crew. Plate guy is watching bunt to make sure it's fair. Base umpire is moving towards 1st to get the safe/out call. No one is looking at third.
