Forced my 13u team to do 25 pushups for every error someone made during on-field batting practice. We’re either going to be jacked or good at fielding ground balls. Being neither is unacceptable at my practices. #BeElite

Tannar Patterson @TanPatt0327 • '25, MIF/OF • Heath HS (OH) • Big 6'1" 200 frame from the left side. Good connection throughout swing. Handles this pitch high in the zone and squares it up to CF. A line drive 1B for @MarucciProspec 18u Smith. #MidwestClassic

Very few Americans realize that, if Trump is NOT elected, this will be the last election. Far from being a threat to democracy, he is the only way to save it!

Let me explain: if even 1 in 20 illegals become citizens per year, something that the Democrats are expediting as fast as humanly possible, that would be about 2 million new legal voters in 4 years.

The voting margin in the swing states is often less than 20 thousand votes. That means if the “Democratic” Party succeeds, there will be no more swing states!!

Moreover, the Biden/Harris administration has been flying “asylum seekers”, who are fast-tracked to citizenship, directly into swing states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin and Arizona. It is a surefire way to win every election.

America then becomes a one-party state and Democracy is over. The only “elections” will be the Democratic Party primaries. This already happened in California many years ago, following the 1986 amnesty.

The only thing holding California back from extreme socialism and suffocating government policies is that people can leave California and still remain in America. Once the whole country is controlled by one party, there will be no escape.

Everywhere in America will be like the nightmare that is downtown San Francisco.

Players
The locker room
The clubhouse
The cages
The facility
The dugout
The bullpen
The field
They're all yours.
You should feel ownership and protect them, clean them and make sure they're taken care of.
If you walk past trash, you don't care enough.

"It's only" is the enemy of "great".
It's only practice.
It's only off-season workouts.
It's only summer ball.
It's only fall ball.
It's only a pool play game.
It's only a consolation game.
It's only a preseason game.
It's only high school baseball.
It's only travel ball.
It's only batting practice.
It's only a bullpen.
It's only about reps.

Players
Get away from the "it's only" crowd. They always seem to have the easy way figured out and usually never amount to a damn thing.

[Next Level Baseball @nextlevelbb]

Ever wonder how some guys play with so much damn confidence?
They're outworking everyone on the field in their so-called "free time".
Their "fun" is preparing to kick your ass on the field.
Their "fun" is getting stronger than you.
Their "fun" is being the most prepared.
Try it.

[Cardinals Stats And Facts @STL_Stats_Facts]

Albert Pujols MLB ranks since 2000:

703 HRs - 1st
3384 Hits - 1st
2218 RBI - 1st
1914 Runs - 1st
89.9 fWAR - 1st
74.8 WPA - 1st

ESPN ranked him as the #1 baseball player but just the 24th ranked athlete since 2000.

Very few dominated an entire era like Albert did.

[Unbroken 💯🇺🇸 @AsaintPaul]

Your clothes came from Kmart and they stayed on layaway until school started. Eating out at a restaurant was a thing every now & then!! Fast food was leftovers at home. Eating popsicles was a treat on a hot day. We had fake cigs for candy and you only needed $1 or less. School was mandatory. You took your school clothes off as soon as you got home and put on your play clothes. If no one was home after school, you went to the neighbors. Nobody paid for daycare because we had a key to the house to get in when we got home.

We ate dinner at the table. Our house phone wasn't always being used. We played Cops and Robbers, 1-2-3 Not It, Red Light Green Light, Hide & Seek, Truth or Dare, Tag, Kickball, Dodgeball & we rode bikes. Girls and Boys played in the street. We came home when the street lights came on.

Staying in the house was a punishment and the only thing we knew about being "bored", "You better find something to do before I find it for you!" We ate what Mom made for dinner or we ate nothing at all. There was no bottled water; we drank from the tap or the water hose!

Phone numbers and address’s were either memorized or written on a folded piece of paper which was kept with you at all times!
What were Cell phones? We watched cartoons on Saturday mornings and rode our bikes for hours. We ran around in the streets until dark and came in before the street lights came on.

We were AFRAID OF NOTHING.
We watched our mouths around our Elders. If we acted up we got beat with a wooden paddle, switch or belt!

These were the good old days.
Kids today will never know how it feels to be a real kid, they will never understand my childhood!!

Kids haven't changed.
Parents have.
Adults have.
Coaches and athletic administrators have.

Kids today just don’t understand

[Next Level Baseball @nextlevelbb]

Parents
Many of your kids would have a better chance to land a rocket ship on the moon than perform athletically vs good competition.
Many of you complain about playing time.
Many of you ignore your son's piss poor performances.
Many of you ignorantly blame coaches.
How much time is your kid legitimately spending chasing athletic success?
In the weight room?
In the cages?
Hitting velocity and breaking balls off the machine?
Throwing program?
Throwing bullpens?
Defensive work?
Ground balls?
Fly balls?
What is his caloric intake?
How hard is your kid trying?
Probably not very hard and you're expecting success and ignorantly complaining.
Stop expecting success if your kid isn't earning it.
Yes, earning it requires, time and effort.
Have your kid write down everything he does daily and you'll realize why he's average as grits.
Your son has to outwork the competition consistently for long periods of time. Not days, weeks or months. It takes years to get good and-or great.

[Coach Casey Smith @coachcasey13u]

Still waiting for the moderator to ask both candidates what their career batting average is. #BeElite

[Jerry Weinstein @JWonCATCHING]

CWS last night-Game winning slide. Great read on C’s position. On this occasion the throw took the C into foul territory & the runner read it & slid inside into fair territory. When the ball beats you at HP consider sliding inside. Catchers instinctively turn left to make tags.
