Exceptional from @CoachDrinkwitz. The real job of a college football coach is to develop men for life. The transfer portal has stolen that ability because the kids can leave at the first sign of adversity. Adversity is what’s used to forge character.

Mark my words.

Watch how many bunting stations there are in Spring Training next year…

BUNTING MANIPULATES PITCHER APPROACH AND SETS THE TABLE FOR FUTURE MOMENTS

With 2 outs and no body on in the 3rd inning, losing 4-0, @Brewers Manager Pat Murphy told #9 hitter David Hamilton to lay down a bunt in a seemingly unimportant at bat.

Why?

Because Murphy knew Hamilton was known for bunting and they could set the table for a future at bat and big moment later in the game where he’d get a pitch to hit.

And that’s exactly what happened.

Hamilton bunted.
Hamilton got out.

But in the 5th, in Hamilton’s next at bat, he got a pitch in the heart of the plate and singled scoring a run and bringing the Brewers within 1.
And in the 9th, Hamilton did it again, homering on a get me over slider and extending the Brewers lead to 6-4.

You bunt to create future moments, and the Brewers did just that.

This should be in every locker room in the country.
Tough ass gamers can beat the hall of famers.
Pat Murphy is a JYD and his team took on his personality and not the personality of the data nerds in the office.
The people that say the Brewers are a data and analytics organization have no idea how valuable toughness and resilience and basic fundamentals are in competitive athletics.
They also do not understand team chemistry is built with the demand of accountability from the manager and coaches and most importantly players.
Brewers Ball is real baseball because of real baseball people.

[Clint Hurdle @ClintHurdle13]

Radar guns and analytics can measure almost everything in this game. None of them can measure guts and nuts.

[Dot Richardson @CoachDot_LU]

Made an error? You get 5 seconds.
5 seconds…
- to acknowledge it.
- to breathe.
- to let it go.
Then reset and get back to work.
You can’t change the last play, but you can control what you do with the next one.
Don’t let one mistake become two.
Reset. Refocus. Respond.

[Josh Edwards @STRCoachEdwards]

Baseball the right way.

[Lou Merloni @LouMerloni]

The Rays believe in Strike one. They hit the FB. They run the bases well. They play good defense. Bottom half of order know who they are and execute. Move runners if they need to. More importantly they don't strike out!! Sometimes people complicate this game. They keep it simple

Top Tier 2028 - Nationals. Taking care of business today.

[Top Tier Iowa @TopTierIA]

Iowa 2028s have been rolling this fall! 🔥
The Americans are 17-3 and the Nationals are 7-3 — Two teams producing up and down the lineup, backed by outstanding pitching and defense.
Two teams. One standard. Keep stacking days. 📈

A message from every professional baseball scout to every high school and college potential baseball prospect.

We're always watching!

EVERY. SINGLE. LOOK.

Pregame work. I/O. BP. Bullpens. Intrasquads. Scrimmages and regular season games. Every one of those is a look — and every look is being written down.

How you run to first base… or do you run to first base. How you move on the field and off the field. How you throw between innings. How you take BP when you think no scout is watching. How you execute pitches in a side session or between innings warming up. How you handle or process a poor at bat. Whether you’re coachable or whether you’re not. And how you treat your teammates.

First one on the field?

Last one off the field?

It’s ALL being noted.

All of it.

Get to the Big Leagues first—before trying to act like those in the TV league. You’re not.

Scouts aren't just evaluating your tools. We're evaluating everything: your habits, your effort, your work ethic, and your character. The player who gives effort every rep stands out — because so few do it consistently.

Newsflash…Scouts don’t care about your “ranking” or what publications write about you (positive or negative). Scouts don’t care how much NIL money you’re getting, or if you’re getting any at all. We’ll make our own evaluations and our own decisions.

Be intentional. Play hard. No matter the setting, the score, the competition or who's in the stands. When you don't, you're only hurting yourself, and you’re to blame.

There is not much you can control in this game — but the one thing you can control is your effort, your work ethic, and your hustle.

Because when you least expect it, someone is ALWAYS watching, and you never know which look is the one that matters.

Winners Win!

Make. Every. Look. Count.

I will never understand why more teams and players don’t do this. It puts pressure on the defense and creates errors which lead to runs. Tampa a small market team along with Milwaukee would be a great WS.

[CR_Enn_238 @CR_Enn_238]

Listen up, kids, to one of the best hitters of all-time 💪⚾

A few good swings from the weekend.
