Teams that don’t strike out at a high clip win more games. Simple as that. This is amplified at the college level — and even more at the high school level and below.

Once you get to two strikes, it becomes a team at-bat. Grind it out. Compete your tail off. Choke up, shorten up, widen out, move closer to the plate — whatever helps you execute your two-strike approach. Some call it their “B swing.”

Make the pitcher work.

We preach “look fastball away and adjust,” but there are plenty of effective two-strike approaches. You have to experiment and find what fits your swing and mindset best.

A quality two-strike approach often leads to hard-hit balls. But even when it doesn’t, the defense still has to field it, throw it, and catch it. That’s pressure.

A lot tougher to defend than a right turn back to the dugout.

@sycamoresheets @LanceMcAlister Reds suck. Another year of me saving myself the pain and misery of going to a game.

[Bob Meyer @golfmeyer]

If I am the Reds, we will have a new pitching coach tomorrow. They continue to walk guys and those guys score, or they walk the winning run in. Looks like another year I will not be attending a Reds game till they actually get serious about winning. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[Bob Meyer @golfmeyer]

New definition of insanity—keep playing TJ Friedl. Hitting less than .200, most JH kids have better arms and he does very little to get on base—0 walks so far!!!

All ⚾️ players need to read this. Is this you?

[3 Lefts Baseball | Coach Big Mike Fuchs @3leftsbaseball]

The Sound of a Losing Culture.

I hear it in the dugout during games. A player strikes out looking on a borderline pitch. He walks back to the bench tosses his bat and starts the script:

"Blue has a flight to catch," or "The sun was right in my eyes."

The coach nods just to stop the noise. The teammates shrug because they do it too.
But the standard of the program just dropped another inch.

You think you’re just "venting." Everyone else sees a player who is too soft to own his failure.

The 3 Lefts Mental Audit:

• The Excuse Subsidy: Every time you blame the umpire, the sun, or the mound you are paying a tax on your own development. If it’s someone else’s fault you don't have to fix anything. And if you don't fix anything you stay exactly where you are Average.
• The "Main Character" Delusion: The sun is hitting the pitcher’s eyes too. The umpire is missing calls for both sides. The game isn't out to get you it just doesn't care about you. Stop acting like the world is conspiring against your batting average.
• The Respect Gap: You want your teammates to trust you in the 7th inning. Then stop acting like a victim in the 2nd. Real leaders don't look for someone to blame they look for a way to adjust.

The game doesn't reward the player with the best reason It rewards the player who makes the most adjustments.

If you want to be treated like an elite ballplayer, start acting like one when things go wrong. High-level players don't have bad luck they have short memories and a plan for the next pitch.
Average players want the world to be fair.
Ballplayers realize the dirt is dirty and they keep digging anyway.
Stop auditioning for the victim role. Nobody is buying tickets to that show.

Truth!!!!

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Buzz Williams shares how entitlement and gratitude are connected and why you can only have one.

"When entitlement is high, gratitude is low."

"Why would gratitude be low? Because you're being selfish. 'Hey, I'm supposed to get this.'"

"If ego and arrogance are a part of entitlement - which they are - then I can't function with the level of gratitude that it takes."

Then he connected the dots:
"If my entitlement is high, my gratitude is low. If my gratitude is low, then I'm not present...You see how they're connected?"

Entitlement pulls you out of the moment.
Gratitude keeps you in it.

Then he had them flip it:
"When gratitude is high, entitlement is low."

You can't be grateful and entitled at the same time.

Entitlement is the enemy of progress. It's the delusion of earning without earning.

Be grateful for the moment and the opportunity.

HOLY CRAP! Karoline Leavitt is calling out Democrats BY NAME who SPARKED the rhetoric leading to Saturday's attempt on President Trump's life

🔵 "Rep Hakeem Jeffrey just THIS MONTH said, 'we are in an era of maximum warfare everywhere all the time.'"

🔵 "Governor Josh Shapiro said heads need to roll within the administration."

🔵 "Senator Alex Padilla said people are DYING because of fear and terror caused by the Trump administration."

🔵 "Senator Elizabeth Warren: President Trump is making the country look like a 'FASCIST STATE'"

🔵 "Senator Adam Schiff saying President Trump using a dictator playbook"

Senator Ed Markey calling President Trump a dictator, saying that this administration's actions are authoritarism on STEROIDS"

🔵 "Governor JB Pritzker: 'Never before in my life have I called for mass protest disruptions. These Republicans cannot know a MOMENT of peace.'"

🔵 "Rep. Pressley saying we'll see you in the streets."

🔵 Monica M McIver, a Democrat representative on Capitol Hill, we will "not take this sh*t from Donald Trump. He thinks he's a DICTATOR. We are at WAR!"

"These are Democrat elected officials calling for WAR against the president of the United States and his supporters."

@LburgTigerHoops Congratulations Coach 🏀

[Bob Meyer @golfmeyer]

Reds get lead off man on, but have Hayes and Friedl up. Guess what they are hitting .105 combined (13-122) and nothing happens. Nick Krall get off your duff and wake up. Bad baseball for a month is time to get moving.

[Jamy Bechler @CoachBechler]

Being coachable means you're willing to consider feedback even if you don't like what you hear. It means resisting the urge to make excuses or get defensive when challenged. Getting better is more important than your ego. You'd rather get it right than be right.
