This game deserves your best.
When you give anything less than 100%, this game will get the best of you.
Not just in baseball. That’s goes for life as well.
Whatever you do, bring full passion, full energy, and full effort. No exceptions.
This umpire gets it.
He shows up for these kids and gives it everything he has! Legend!🔥 #umpire #littleleague #youthbaseball #baseballumpire
You can't tax rich people on unrealized gains from stocks because "it's not real money until it's sold."
So explain to me why my property taxes keep going up based on the unrealized value of my house?
I didn't sell it.
I didn't cash out.
I didn't make a profit.
But somehow I'm paying taxes on paper gains every single year.
Interesting how "unrealized gains" only become a problem when wealthy folks are involved.
If you only do one thing today, tweet some kind of support for @RepThomasMassie he is the main guy pushing for the release of the Epstein files and Trump hates him for it.
@jmatte8@NBATIGAHBOY@Insidelsubsbl@tigerdensports Exactly what I’ve been saying majority of the season. Like they haven’t been able to piece it all together to play well in all aspects of the game for many (if any) of of the games this season. You’d see glimpses. But the engine never ran in perfect timing so to speak.
Quick rant on baseball parents.
I was just watching a high-level Michigan high school baseball game when an elite player decided to spray some stick on his bat in between pitches and some got on the barrel.
Parents from the opposing team start chirping and complaining that it’s cheating and against the rules — one parent even decided to look up the rule. If that wasn’t embarrassing enough, that man decided to say it out loud and let everyone know he looked up the technicality.
The batter walks anyway and comes around to score, but to me the bigger issue is this lack of awareness and accountability.
I coach kids everyday now and when I ask them how they did this weekend and they answer with: “the umpire was so bad” “it was so cold” etc etc as their FIRST responses— I see that as a direct result of what we’re teaching kids about competition.
Competition isn’t about finding technicalities to beat our opponent, and the weather and umpires are ALWAYS going to be variables you cannot control.
I think we need to start teaching kids about the reality of winning and losing and it starts with coaches and parents.
Sometimes your opponent is going to be better, strong, more skilled than you but you have to find a way to compete anyways.
Thats what true resiliency is, and what makes us athletes. 🤷🏻♂️
