Judge struck out six times in the three games. That's his highest total in any three-game span in a month. Apparently the O's are to be blamed for this.
Was just thinking about this- As a player (age 8-20) I don’t recall every hitting underhand flips in practice.
Tee work, hitting tires, swing away, overhand BP, iron Mike & 2 wheel pitching machines, but can’t recall ever hitting flips.
Anyone else have a similar experience?
30 pitches in an inning = take the pitcher out!
If they’re close to 30, still consider taking them out. No need to keep them in the game when they get into muscle failure.
Most HS players only want to play for a Power 5 school.
While there's nothing wrong with this if you're good enough, there are drawbacks, especially if your goal is to get drafted.
While I was drafted out of the ACC, here are 3 reasons I wish I'd considered other options.⬇️

Can we please stop having “Wood Bat” tournaments for players under the age of 17? The game is expensive enough, and most of the kids are not “ready” to swing a wood bat in live game action. @O3jfrye@nextlevelbb@FlatgroundBats
@tomhouse No travel ball till 11 or 12.
Maybe no All Stars til then either.
(As a mom who LOVES going to games, that's hard for me to say. But it's not the healthiest model if the goal is kids enjoyment and retention. So many kids left behind because they're not good enough fast enough.)
Youth baseball is broken. We need drastic change.
Think:
- a league available in every city
- parents volunteer as coaches
- affordable to all
- guaranteed playing time
- focus on fun and health
- orange slices after games

Thank you to all of our veterans, who were honored today at Stumptown Park in Matthews. Below, Hooks-Orr Post 235 Commander Mark Tofano speaks to the Memorial Day crowd.
Today on #MemorialDay, we especially remember those servicemen and women who died while serving our country. Some were former comrades in arms that I fought along side. We must never forget them, their families, or their service and sacrifices. Freedom isn't free.🇺🇸 #NeverForget
Tonight's game at York, SC has been postponed. Tomorrow, both our teams make the trip to Shelby's historic Keeter Stadium - home of the annual American Legion World Series @ALWS_Shelby - to take on Cleveland County's Juniors and Seniors! Games are 3 PM for Jrs and 6 PM for Srs!
Congrats @royals_carolina, 8-6 win today over Hough HS (Hough was 16-0 this season coming into today’s game). Great win for Coach Brooks and his Royals players!
