🚨 Mariners’ Pickoff Play

• 1st baseman dekes back to the base then resets his position.

• As the runner retakes his lead, the catcher drops his glove & the pitcher picks.

⭐️ Very creative play to catch overly aggressive baserunners.

[Clint Hurdle @ClintHurdle13]

During one of the worst losing streaks of my career, our team president walked into my office.

Keli McGregor. One of the best men I've ever known.

He could have come to vent. To question my decisions. To ask hard questions.

Instead, he said: "Cut to the chase, Clint. What's next?"

I looked him in the eye and gave him two words: "Shower well."

The Colorado Rockies were struggling badly that year.

Pregame preparation was solid. Scout meetings, early work, attention to detail. All of it was there.

But at game time, the tires were flat.

I told Keli: the game did everything it could to us today. We just couldn't meet its demands.

Now it was time to reset.

"Shower well" means exactly this:
• Watch the frustration circle down the drain
• Shampoo, rinse, repeat and get the grime of today completely off your mind
• Walk out clean, go home, and actually rest

Leave it at the ballpark. The game is over. There's nothing left to solve tonight.

Keli nodded. Asked if he could share it with the whole organization.

I said sure. And then it hit me. This isn't just for baseball.

Bad day at the office. Grumpy boss. Missed deadline. Traffic on the way home.

You can carry all of that through your front door.

Or you can shower well.

I've never seen a single problem get better because someone dragged it home with them.

The reset is a discipline. Same as preparation. Same as showing up.

Either we win. Or we learn.

The only real loss? When you don't take a single thing out of a hard day.

So tonight, whatever kind of day it was, shower well.

Tomorrow is a new at-bat.

What does your reset look like? I'd love to hear it.

Anybody can run the drill. It’s about the detail that goes into it

[Jon Karcich @JonKarcich]

The “prep step” is the most untrained part of a defenders game.

Remember how John Wooden taught his players to put his socks on right?

Thats where my mind goes.

Everyone puts their socks on. Everyone does a prep.

The elite know exactly how and what they’re doing.

Reading swings, knowing pitches, knowing pitchers, knowing hitters swings and the timing of when they hit the ground to move.

Then doing it for 140+ pitches every game + every practice rep + every BP rep.

This is well said. The only thing I would interject with is, we’re still trying to be “on time with the heater” perhaps just shifting the external target on where we’re trying to drive it SLIGHTY. As you said, “a little deeper but not getting beat by FB

So many great points. Get yourself a short hop or long hop. Nobody likes an in between hop. Let your feet work. The eyes and the glove work best when close to each other. #InfieldTalk
