@gehrig38 was digging through some old cards and found these. Do you sign through the mail? My father was a 1974 1st round pick of the RedSox and I’ve been a fan since birth. They have been an exciting team to watch this year.

@GowagsKyle Ashland?

[Sean Townsend @coachtownsend9]

@GowagsKyle You would ask this of their prospective future coach or of the recruits?

[Sean Townsend @coachtownsend9]

@GowagsKyle @ButchBaseball29 Koufax, Pedro, Gibson at their peak and Nolan and Maddux for their career.

[Sean Townsend @coachtownsend9]

@GowagsKyle @ButchBaseball29 Bad time to mention Greg Maddux too?

[Sean Townsend @coachtownsend9]

@GowagsKyle @ButchBaseball29 No Koufax?

[Sean Townsend @coachtownsend9]

@GowagsKyle @BillyWagner1313 Got to meet him at a coaches convention. His college and mine were rivals. We told some old D3 war stories. Fun night.

[Sean Townsend @coachtownsend9]

@GowagsKyle It’s not the plate that determines out front or deep contact - it’s the front foot and this player has the tee right behind his front foot. Right where it should be!

[Sean Townsend @coachtownsend9]

@GowagsKyle For everyone who thinks the tee is too far out front

[Sean Townsend @coachtownsend9]

@GowagsKyle @JeffBarnes52 As someone who has been in that role it’s tough. At the end of the day, you try to do what’s best for kids, and that often conflicts with what’s best for the adults.

[Sean Townsend @coachtownsend9]

After 2 wild pitches in a row that advanced the runner from 1st to 3rd you think the catcher would get off one knee maybe. Well if you thought that you would be wrong. Wild pitch #3 just scored her. Still on a knee.

[Sean Townsend @coachtownsend9]

@GowagsKyle You have them start with their hands above the ball (thus above your hands)?

[Sean Townsend @coachtownsend9]

@OHIOfrank3 @GowagsKyle Just saw your video after I posted this. Explained it well. That is how I coached it and we always had a group doing contact reads during bp.

[Sean Townsend @coachtownsend9]

@OHIOfrank3 @GowagsKyle Because rundowns are harder to execute than a force out at first and going on contact means you will score on some balls you otherwise wouldn’t. Worst case scenario the runner stays in the rundown long enough for the other runners to get to 2nd and 3rd.

@robyounce SSK short fungo.

[Sean Townsend @coachtownsend9]

@GowagsKyle You don’t like every kid having an AirPod in their ear? Phones and chrome books have to be one of the worst things to happen to education.

[Sean Townsend @coachtownsend9]

@GowagsKyle My wife always wanted to know why I could get grass to grow so well on the field, but not at home

[Sean Townsend @coachtownsend9]

@CoachEllis36 Hoping the Baden’s last longer?

[Sean Townsend @coachtownsend9]

@LeVeonBell Usual suspects

[Sean Townsend @coachtownsend9]

@GowagsKyle @teachthemx3 I love telling my students the history of math. The discovery is the best part sometimes.
