During one of the worst losing streaks of my career, our team president walked into my office.
Keli McGregor. One of the best men I've ever known.
He could have come to vent. To question my decisions. To ask hard questions.
Instead, he said: "Cut to the chase, Clint. What's next?"
I looked him in the eye and gave him two words: "Shower well."
The Colorado Rockies were struggling badly that year.
Pregame preparation was solid. Scout meetings, early work, attention to detail. All of it was there.
But at game time, the tires were flat.
I told Keli: the game did everything it could to us today. We just couldn't meet its demands.
Now it was time to reset.
"Shower well" means exactly this:
• Watch the frustration circle down the drain
• Shampoo, rinse, repeat and get the grime of today completely off your mind
• Walk out clean, go home, and actually rest
Leave it at the ballpark. The game is over. There's nothing left to solve tonight.
Keli nodded. Asked if he could share it with the whole organization.
I said sure. And then it hit me. This isn't just for baseball.
Bad day at the office. Grumpy boss. Missed deadline. Traffic on the way home.
You can carry all of that through your front door.
Or you can shower well.
I've never seen a single problem get better because someone dragged it home with them.
The reset is a discipline. Same as preparation. Same as showing up.
Either we win. Or we learn.
The only real loss? When you don't take a single thing out of a hard day.
So tonight, whatever kind of day it was, shower well.
Tomorrow is a new at-bat.
What does your reset look like? I'd love to hear it.
To the “too cool for school” high school kids who sit on the bench and don’t support their teammates…these are the dugouts at UTSA & Ohio State. Not a single player other than the pitcher and catcher sitting on the bench…
@_CoachPerez and I had a great time at the @ABCA1945 clinic in Columbus! Great time connecting and learning from the best coaches from across the country! Brought back some great nuggets that will make the @CedarParkBSBL team better! #alwayslearning#WTD#MUDITA
This is one of 3,168 outfield assists across the last 5 seasons (including playoffs).
It is the only one to exceed 300 feet in the air (301, to be exact). He’s a cyborg.
@CoachCreek10@NCAABaseball Yea that was terrible. To toss a head coach for saying “you’ve missed 3 pitches” in a win or go home game, complete bush league performance.
2027 MIF Hudson Cuevas
@HudsonCuevas24 | @CedarParkBSBL
The No. 20 ranked soph. in the state had some good swings on Friday night for the Timberwolves. A hard hit single thru the left side and a loud out to deep CF. Cuevas is aggressive in the box & has some pop from a compact frame.

Hudson Cuevas (@HudsonCuevas24) is a ballplayer. Covered a ton of ground at 2B. Wants the ball hit to him. Hustles down the line. And took some good swings with impact bat speed and loud contact.

Bryce Schneider (@bryceatx2025) did it all - three hits, easily covered ground in CF, and even entered to throw some quality relief innings.

Left the park a fan of Owen Mansfield (@OwenMansfield26). Fast swing with some strength and barrel feel. Calm heartbeat and soft hands on defense with good timing… ball found him with two outs in extras and he handled chances like they were in-and-out. Good frame.

To win a 14-inning game, you need two-way guys to step up on the mound. Damian Alonzo (@DamianAlonzo44) made big pitches with runners on base and refused to give in even when he was out of gas.
