⚾️ Playoff baseball is here. No tomorrow without a win today.

The Rivermen defend home turf one final time this season as they host the Stillman Valley Cardinals in the Regional Quarterfinals.

Bring the energy. Bring the noise. Pack the stands and back the boys. 🔥

My manager asked me to learn to catch.

My first reaction: Why?

Davey Johnson looked at me and said, "I think it'll add value to you. And I think it'll let you see the game from a lens you've never seen before."

I trusted Davey. So I said yes.

Here's what I didn't understand until I got behind the plate:

Before becoming a catcher I was always looking in. I was watching from a distance.

Behind the plate, the whole game opens up.

Everyone is out in front of you. You can read every hitter's swing. You're building a relationship with every pitcher. You see the defensive alignment. You understand strategy from a completely different angle.

It changed everything about how I understood baseball.

And it changed what I thought I could do next.

I finally stopped trying to squeeze more out of a playing career that had run its course. I started thinking about coaching. About managing.

A few years later I was a minor league manager.

I don't think I get anywhere close to that without Davey Johnson asking me to learn a position I had no business playing and without me trusting him enough to say yes.

Two questions worth sitting with today:

Is there someone in your life who's earned your trust enough that you'd say yes to almost anything they suggested?

And is there a lens on your work you've never looked through?

Happy Mother’s Day to the baseball moms.

The early mornings, late nights, washed uniforms, postgame talks, road trips, team dinners, and constant support never go unnoticed. You carry more of the season than most people ever see.

Your impact reaches far beyond the field.

[Du-Pec Baseball @DuPecBaseball]

Here’s the week ahead.

Big opportunities ahead as postseason positioning starts to take shape. Keep building, keep competing, and keep raising the standard.
