CTC Off the Cuff — Straight From the Driver’s Seat (Actually, Back Deck): Jaylen Brown Trade a Complete Abomination. Celtics trade Jaylen Brown to Philly for an unexplainable return. One of the worst trades in Boston sports history. LIVE now on https://t.co/jWtrYfO5Bi

I’ve seen a lot of things in youth sports. A parent kicking a 13-year-old opposing player was a new one. Say hello to June’s winner! #chuckstwocents #asshat #youthsports #florida #fortmyers

A few thoughts on coaching girls softball, the players who made it special, and why connection always mattered more than competition.

The Sox are testing my patience. The Italian Stallion is still pitching in high leverage situations. Gave Joey Mazzulla a call last night after he won Coach of the Year. And Manny? #chuckstwocents #bostonsports #redsox #joemazzulla #patriots

Bill Belichick went on Sean Hannity's show this week and said he was happy for Tom Brady when he left for Tampa in 2020 because it wasn't going to go great here in New England in 2020. My thoughts... LIVE NOW on https://t.co/jWtrYfO5Bi

A Fenway Park proposal, a Jumbotron, 38,000 witnesses, and possibly the least convincing “happy reaction” in baseball history. Tough scene! #chuckstwocents #bostonsports #asshat #marriageproposal

I keep saying it. Pitching is so broken it's breathtaking. Just take a peek at the 1st pitch of the SD/LA game. Spin rate? Check! Velocity? Check! Command? Nowhere to be seen. I cannot explain how FAR from pitching this is. On the first pitch, hell the first inning, you are working your fastball around the zone to get a feel for the corners and your command. You might throw 2 of your 3-4 pitches but most nights April to September you don't show your arsenal in the first, you need to get hitters out a couple times. You hold on to the 3 and 4 pitches that you setup in the 1st AB and in the hitters ahead of a guy for later ABs. I am unsure I can explain just how far this one pitch, and the ENTIRE process behind it, is removed from pitching. Having said that I do NOT blame the pitchers. The game is to blame. When you're working on 300 million dollar deals hoping to get 150 innings from a guy, that tells ya all you need to know. It's certainly not an easy fix, nor a quick one, but from the draft to MLB there is ABSOLUTELY a process to 'fix' this crap. Not to mention fewer DL stints, fewer TJ surgeries and longer shelf life for SP.

A conversation at the Top Hat about getting older, coaching softball, and the strange feeling of realizing something you've loved for almost a decade is starting to come to an end. #chuckstwocents #boston #bartender #smitty #taverns
