@CoachCurryLR @MattParker37 How about earlier game times next week, skip?!?! I’m going to need a caffeine IV at work today after back to back midnight finishes🤣☕️

LITTLE ROCK, BIG MOVES‼️

@LittleRockBSB is headed to the Supers for the first time EVER, becoming just the fourth 4-seed to sweep through its regional!

[Andy Runyan @runyandy]

Wild take because right now it includes the SF Giants manager (won a natty at TN), Georgia HC (National COY), Tenn HC, Little Rock HC, and Louisiana HC

@BGuard87 I don't blame them for not leaving. I blame DVH for not telling them it's time to move on. One day we'll look back and there won't even be a DVH coaching tree.

@KBoBaseballGuru @KendallRogers Man, if the job of the offense was to hit homeruns…this would be AWESOME

@coachdeesmith I feel like this situation is EXACTLY why Amazon prime was invented

@CoachSwit Very similar story with with my crew I had for 9 years. It can be done!

Great day today at the @eastcoastbball Scout Games. I was 3-4 with 2 singles and a double.

[Andy Runyan @runyandy]

If you don’t believe this is a thing, I had a parent tell me this year that his son’s team is a “country club” and the coach only plays his buddies friends.

The team has won multiple state championships and is currently nationally ranked in some polls.

[Coach Swit @CoachSwit]

In the stands, a H.S. parent complains to anyone who will listen that his kid isn't playing much.

Another parent: "Team is 15-2, Top 5 in the state, winning the league."

Response: "I don't care about that."

And there you have it.

For some parents, it's never about the team.

[Andy Runyan @runyandy]

@CoachSwit Where it has helped: Overall, pitching is better. Small town kids have the ability to play better competition / see better arms.

Where it has hurt: Players don’t know the game deeply from situational practice. The concept of “we over me” is eroding by the year it seems.

[Greene County Tech Golden Eagle Baseball @gctbaseball]

A few 📸 from our annual GCT Baseball Kid’s Camp last week. Thank you players, parents, and youth coaches for getting these young Eagles to the park for 3 great days of baseball!
