Fate whispers, ‘You cannot withstand the storm’. The warrior whispers back, ‘I am the storm’.

Pulling Daniel Lynch after 8 pitches with two lefties coming up in the 9th after your current closer gave up 3 last night on a lot of pitches is certainly a “choice” you can make…I guess…

@CoachBeede @CoachBeede it wasn’t at the field…after a tough extra inning district loss that ended his senior year, he asked me to go to the facility and hit the next day…

Forty years in this game. Here is what I have learned about the families who navigate it best.
They are not the ones with the biggest budgets. They are not the ones with the most connections. They are the ones who decided early that this is a forty-year decision, and started behaving accordingly.
They turn down the showcase that does not fit the plan. They pass on the travel team that promises exposure for a price. They put their son in front of honest evaluators instead of marketing departments.
They are not chasing baseball. They are building a man who happens to play it.
The trophy is the relationship you have with your son when he is thirty.

So much said and nothing changes…I am tired of seeing this every week…excuses…

If coaches won’t do it, start barring that coach’s team from tournaments…

But, oh wait, PG and Prep Baseball won’t get their money then…

Vicious ⭕️

It happened again.

An 11-year-old threw more than 160 pitches over a weekend because adults decided winning mattered more than arm care.

#Youth baseball has a responsibility to protect kids — not sacrifice their future for Sunday trophies.

Infielder and pitcher Luke Bower, parents Callie and Kevin Bower, brother Evan is a current Blue Jay and Katie a college softball player what a great family! Luke will attend Nebraska Wesleyan University in Lincoln, NE, where he will play baseball while studying business or finance. Luke is not only talented in baseball, a member of the National Honor Society and choir. Bower was named Academic All State for the 2026 season. Very versatile player, goal driven to improve each day, excited to see what he can do next year! Keep working Luke! @LanghorstPicts

@coachzblair10 @CoachDavidKlein Agree, but this whole stupid travel ball from 7u to tournaments all over the country that parents think they “need to get exposure” is a big part of the problem…

Tell me you are a JUCO Baseball player and I know immediately that you have at least 1,000 funny stories about an apartment, a party, a bus trip, a hotel room with 5 other teammates, the cafeteria, losing at cards, sneaking out after curfew, and of course in game moments.

[Kevin Bower @k1209b]

We are all told at some point that we can’t play the game we love anymore…unless you sue the NCAA for an 8th year or get a TRO saying you can still play…then and only then can a judge tell you when you can’t play the game you love anymore

[Coach West @coachwwest]

D1. D2. D3. NAIA. JUCO.
Same sacrifice. Same grind.
Same chance to change your life.
The level isn’t the blessing.
The opportunity is.
Don’t complain about a seat at a table that most never touch.

[Jays Softball @JaysSoftball]

It's almost go time!!!!! Good luck to all our Blue Jays competing at the next level!!

Can substitute any number of words for “team”…organization, company, services

[Brian D. Stanchak @BDStan]

Great teams aren’t built on talent alone; they’re built on trust, communication, and accountability.

Invest as much in your culture as you do in your playbook.

@cdotharrison Hunts have always wanted a Super Bowl in KC area…this makes that possible in the 2030s

[Kevin Bower @k1209b]

@MitchSchwartz71 Hunts have always wanted a Super Bowl in KC…only way to get it is to move to KS…wasn’t happening at Truman Sports Complex
