Just a couple of boys talking about baseball. Welcome to our Twitter! Be sure to give us a follow and listen to our podcast on Spotify and Apple!

Jackson Flora is off to Double-A!

The #SFGiants have promoted the No. 4 overall pick in this year's Draft after he made two scoreless outings at Single-A: https://t.co/KjKyXJPZNH

It’s crazy that Landon Thome is the kid that Jim Thome’s wife was pregnant with when she was crying in the crowd when he hit his 500th HR. And now he is a White Sox.

[Nosebleed Baseball @Baseball_NBS]

The pitcher walked off like he knew the CF was about to make a sportscenter top 10 robbery 💀

[Tyler Milliken @tylermilliken_]

It’s been 9 years since Dustin Pedroia made one of the best plays I’ve ever seen from a second baseman.

[Coach Beede @CoachBeede]

To the high schooler not playing much this summer. The reps you cannot get on the field you can still get in the weight room, in the cage, and in your grades. Coaches are not only watching the games. They are watching what you do in the months no one is keeping score.

[Zach Kubik @CoachZKubik]

The strongest programs usually have older players teaching younger players what the standard looks like.

[Coach Beede @CoachBeede]

The families who get this right are not chasing the next showcase. They are building a young man who happens to play baseball. That young man is still standing when the playing ends. Build him.

[Ray Zingler @rayzingler]

Parents will question 2 hours of strength training per week, focused on the health, well-being, & performance of their children.

But 4-5 games in a single weekend & you get the Facebook post about the long day at the ballpark..

One builds the athlete.

The other spends them.

[Heath Clawson @Heath_Clawson]

HS athletes:

Summer workouts are less than 10% of your time. If you cannot carve out 4-7% of your week to train with your teammates & coaches then you are not a serious athlete. There is plenty of time left to work, swim, fish, sleep, etc. Get to workouts & get better!!

[Codify @CodifyBaseball]

Teams in the last 20 MLB seasons have trailed by 8 or more runs 3,092 times.

They've ended up winning just twice. Once was today.

[MLB @MLB]

BRYCE ELDRIDGE WALK-OFF GRAND SLAM 😱

[Jason from Huskerland @HuskerlandJason]

Parity is something College Baseball excels at over Football & Basketball.

The sport really doesn't get enough love. It's a hidden gem for those who know.

[Coach Beede @CoachBeede]

I understand why baseball families feel pressure.

Everyone seems to be attending something, posting something, committing somewhere, or chasing the next opportunity.

But comparison can quietly pull a family away from the path that actually fits their athlete.

[Coach Swit @CoachSwit]

Everyone says “team first.”
Until it costs them at-bats.
Or innings.
Or recognition.

That’s when you find out who’s real and who was just talking.

@BirminghamRay Is there a website?

[Kevin Kuzma @Kuzmanomics]

PSA youth sports parents: the HS coaching staff could not care less about your kid’s youth sports career. It all resets. They know what they are looking for and what they need in their program. So just relax. Make sure your kids have fun and give max effort

[Coach Swit @CoachSwit]

The cage can lie.
Showcases can lie.
Social media can lie.

The game never does.

You either perform between the lines — or you don’t.

[Pedro Martinez @45PedroMartinez]

I have learned in life the simpliest things are the most valuable. God, Family, Purpose, Laughter (Ok and maybe a little baseball 😉)
