Always Be Learning
A couple free agent pitchers needed some data for their agents yesterday, so I grabbed my @rapsodo and met them at St Joe Academy in St Aug yesterday.
Fascinating to watch them apply their craft. Some wicked neg V break and VAA at the plate. Good luck hitters
As a hitting specialist, I was most intrigued by their effort to have as low VAA as possible. Saw some 92+ FB with -2 in the strike zone.
Ball looks like it's literally rising across the plate. Insane.
@TheChrisMauloni and @SkylarArias deserve a shot.

NEW: CNN host sits in silence for nearly 2 minutes as Vivek Ramaswamy goes off after she tries asking “gotcha” question about Trump.
The moment came when CNN host Abby Phillip asked about how Trump called his political opponents “vermin.”
Vivek then flipped the script and went off on the media for obsessing with small incidents instead of the bigger issue.
“This is a classic mainstream media move. Pick some individual phrase of Donald Trump. Focus on literally that word without actually interrogating the substance of what's at issue.”
“The word was chosen for a reason. It's actually describing a series of behaviors. You have Antifa and other related groups that have been burning down cities for the last three years in this country.”
“They're violating the rule of law. We have an invasion on our southern border. We have millions of people crossing our southern border. Let's talk about the substance.”

NEW: Oliver Anthony blasts Fox News for using his song ‘Rich Men North of Richmond’ at the GOP debate, says it made him “crack up” because he wrote that song about “those people.”
“It's aggravating seeing people on conservative news try to identify with me like I'm one of them. It's aggravating seeing certain musicians and politicians act like we're buddies and act like we're fighting the same struggle here.”
“It was funny seeing it at the presidential debate 'cause it's like I wrote that song about those people, you know, so for them to have to sit there and listen to that, uh, that cracks me up.”
Roy Halladay holds the single season record for the worst ERA in MLB history.
He was also a first ballot hall of famer.
What you did yesterday, doesn’t determine what you can become today.
Keep going.

“Rich Men North of Richmond” is the most listened to track in the world in the past 24 hours.
This American working-man’s protest song has millions & millions of plays.
Sung by an off-the-grid farmer in the countryside with his dogs.

After taking down #7 Florida earlier this season, the Jacksonville Dolphins flapped their flippers on in to Coral Gables tonight and knocked off Miami 6-3
5. Celebrate small wins and set goals for all timeframes
The rehab process is quite daunting, especially if your only measure of success is returning to your pre injury level.
I have found it valuable to set goals and get excited about things in 1-2 month timeframes
1. The game just keeps on going
When an athlete gets hurt, their world gets flipped upside down. But nobody really cares. It’s tough to come to terms with, but everyone is replaceable.
The quicker you stop feeling sorry for yourself, the sooner you can truly start healing.
