Pitchers: are you a pronator or a supinator?
If you answered, "I have no idea," do yourself a favor and read this thread on how to tell and what it means for your arsenal.
Islam Makhachev bashes the "disgusting" Olympics opening ceremony:
"I watched some highlights of the Olympics opening ceremony. It was disgusting. This is disrespect for all religions, for all human values in general.
Honestly, I even planned to go to the Olympics but after what I saw, I don't want to go there."

This is Steven Kwan
I bet you didn't know...
He sat out 2 months of his freshman season in college because of imposter syndrome. Now he's an MLB All-Star.
Here's his story (that you need to hear):
You struggle with performance anxiety?
Feel like the game speeds up on you?
Try this:
Show up to the game 15 minutes before first pitch.
This isn’t a joke. I’m dead serious
What’s difficult about baseball is that it is a reactionary sport with TONS of dead space that your mind can occupy.
Especially when you have 3 HOURS you have to be present before the game (???)
You take BP, and then they clean the field and you throw and stretch yada yada
But have you ever looked around during those times and been like, “can we just start the damn game already???”
You don’t need as much time to prepare as you think. You need a warm up and that’s IT.
Your prep happens in practice and in the offseason. If you try to “prep” 3 hours before the game starts AND performance anxiety is a struggle of yours, you just give it time to build before the actual competition.
Some of my best games and some of the best performances I’ve seen from others have come when they were late, or had to leave early
Their mind was so completely off of all the additional pieces of the game itself they had no choice but to just let their skill set go to work.
The summer is a great time to test this.
Give it a try. Worst case scenario? It doesn’t work.
You didn’t die. Don’t be afraid to try something new
Failing to try is also failing to change your terrible scenario
