I have been blessed to be a part of the most amazing program at the best school I could imagine for the last 6 years.
From having our first child in the middle of a covid shortened season to a state championship run, to watching some of the best young men push past their own expectations the memories go on and on.
With a heavy heart, I am moving on to the next chapter of my life outside of education.
I will never have the words to fully express my gratitude for the @KHS_Baseball program, families, and players. I look forward to cheering them all on from the other side of the fence!

I can’t wait to explain to my players tomorrow why a run scores here and that we have a new base running strategy with a runner on 3rd

While second place is never the goal, I am extremely proud to have gotten the opportunity to coach these young men. Definitely a year to remember and a group of seniors I will never forget

It’s the same reason telling people that ‘masks protect other people’ didn’t work. When it comes down to it, people truly don’t care about helping anyone but themselves

Imagine working hard and gaining notoriety making content that most Mlb fans enjoy just to turn around and in three months become a conspiracy theorist irresponsibly tweeting about burner accounts and confetti buzzers

Hey let’s just pile on ‘you might need to shoot and kill one of your students’ onto teachers plates since they don’t have other things to worry about

One of the most intense rivalries in texas? 🤔🤔🤔
Ballgame!
Ty Zahradnik (@ZahradnikTy) gets a strikeout and fly out to end it. Keller (TX) takes two from Southlake Carroll (TX) as the LHP gets his team the 4-3 victory in extras.

Super proud of my amazing wife. On top of having a baby, getting a new job in a new district, and preparing to buy/move into our new home she challenged herself to take the ESL teacher certification test. She passed it on the first attempt like a rockstar!

One of the best parts about playoffs is the lack of walk up music.
If I had to listen to another 8 hole walk up to ‘Bandit’ by Don Toliver…
My brother in Christ you are hitting .200 and have K’d twice today. You do not ‘do damage’.

1c-a. The pitcher is not allowed to do a motion to the, uh, batter, that prohibits the batter from doing, you know, just trying to hit the ball. You can't do that.
1c-b. Once the pitcher is in the stretch, he can't be over here and say to the runner, like, "I'm gonna get you!”

Sources confirm that Cy Sneed hasn't played in weeks. Every time he arrives to a location he is sent off somewhere else. Perpetual travel.
Astros have recalled RHP Cy Sneed from Triple A Round Rock...he takes the roster spot of RHP Brad Peacock, who was placed on the Injured List with right shoulder discomfort.

1c-b(2)-a. Okay, well, you can have the ball up here, like this, but then there's the balk you gotta think about.
1c-b(2)-b. Fairuza Balk hasn't been in any movies in forever. I hope she wasn't typecast as that racist lady in American History X.

Fellow teachers know how stressful STAAR scores can be. My wife just found out her 3rd grade kids scores and had a 91% pass rate (77 state average) with 55% of all of her kids reaching mastered level! So proud of her! @kelseypotter43

1c-b(1). Like, if you're about to pitch and then don't pitch, you have to still pitch. You cannot not pitch. Does that make any sense?
1c-b(2). You gotta be, throwing motion of the ball, and then, until you just throw it.

Proud moment in my life: my wife (rangers fan) and I were discussing going to the game in Arlington Friday night when she said she wanted to wear an orange Astros shirt (Altuve to be specific) 😭😭😭

As of last night I have been granted full press credentials for games 3-5. I am so incredibly shocked to be provided this chance and want to

Also this solidifies Altuve as the greatest Astro of all time in my books, nothing anyone can say will convince me otherwise

After taking 3 of 4 from Det, the tigers are now below .500.

Lol @ CJ Nitkowzki for caring so much about why a player for another team wears a certain number. His lack of self awareness is hilarious.
