The Packers respond to Rep. Fitzgerald on UPFRONT: “Fans should be offended that Fitzgerald then went further, saying our concerns were "laughable." What is laughable is that a congressman from Wisconsin is leading this charge.”

Baseball needs more summer coaches, more HS coaches, to be honest with kids about their future in baseball.
FAR TOO MANY families are spending thousands of dollars per year on travel ball + showcases who will never play in college. Some will never play on their HS varsity team. Yet, the showcase circuit is happy to take every cent they can from those families.
How many "scouting" videos do we have to see of a rising HS JR throwing 72-75 on the mound with a bad arm action whose write-up says, "Good run and sink. Elite spin rate. Attacks the zone." What the report should say is, "Needs to hit the books or maybe try other sports, because baseball's not in your future, young man."
It takes a trusted coach with a lot of guts, and a lot of integrity, to sit that family down and have an honest conversation. That doesn't mean the coach needs to tell the kid to quit baseball. It just means it's time to have the, "It might not be so wise to keep spending $5,000 per summer" talk.
Baseball needs more men willing to have this conversation with their players. Baseball needs less people (and fewer businesses) who value money over honesty and integrity.
@AaronRozek Do you think the age of the athlete is important? For college, or your more physically mature high school athletes, I love this, need to avoid doing too much. But when training like 14, 15 year olds, I struggle telling them to do nothing. Part of the challenge is motivation.
Where we are headed … at the speed of light….it seems. This is funny, but so much truth in this video. Players…don’t be this guy in real life. Let your game do the talking.
Preston Alger will represent @Post77Baseball at next weekend's American Legion Baseball All-Star Game at American Family Field. Plus notes on Kyle Cody reaching AAA with the Giants, Thomas Longbella on the mend and much more.

@coach_tack Colleges should team up with WIAA and be offering 1 credit referee certification classes in Educ/Health/Kinesiology Depts and getting the young officials ingrained in the area middle school/youth leagues. They make some extra money, earn a credit, and boost the pool of officials.
As much as I love Carson Park, these are the dumbest dugouts I’ve seen at any stadium. Undersized for even a high school roster, zero protection from rain or sun, & concrete stairs mixed with metal spikes.
Landon Atkisson (‘26, WI) had himself a day at the plate going 3-3 w/ 2 RBI. Strides thru contact and works direct after load. Good bat speed and some barrel whip. Flat bat plane and gets arms ext thru contact. #MidwestWS@GRBRays@PG_WiscMinn
I’ve resisted but I’ll finally bite:
1) for those saying “ball”
Can’t locate 90 if you don’t throw 90. If you train to throw slow strikes then that is what you’re going to do. If want to be able to control and locate your best stuff, you need to throw your best stuff.
