Imagine being committed to an SEC ⚾️ school for 4 years, then having your scholarship pulled in April of your Senior year. And it’s not the HC that notified you, he has the assistant coach do it, then the HC ghosts you. College Athletics is a shameful F’ng business #Baseball

If the Bengals lose and also drop to 5-5 is the same narrative going to be pushed by the Media like the Bills? 🧐

8 am field prep for 2 pm start. 90% of parents are great, the 10% that bash coach for putting lil Johnny in RF and not SS where he doesn’t belong just remember, there are thousands of us coaches who put in countless hours just so they can play. Say thx, be grateful, and enjoy it

Used to be you’d start in town ball together you’d play together all the way through HS and everyone supported each other. Today, no town ball, everyone goes off to different youth travel orgs then by HS no one knows how to gel together. Community pride overall is lacking

Travel ⚾️ should not end in December and start back in January and it should not be played in unison with school baseball. 12 straight months of ⚾️ is ruining kids, stop it, be smarter than this.

If you’re being told to opt out of HS ⚾️ for the sake of travel ⚾️ don’t listen. You’re going to miss out on 3-4 of the best years of your life. You don’t get those years back, ever.

Folks, this is absolutely insanity. That ⚾️ can and will kill you, don’t do this 💩
This loud mouth college kid likes to talk 🗑️ because he believes in Lil Richie and his HLP 💩. He also thinks it’s ok to have his gf flip him soft toss without a screen. Thoughts? #shegone @notgaetti @BobFile @twuench @billdubs @SliderDominate @JMincone @ROXSystem @BLocsports

My 12 year old son dead ass got mad at me yesterday because I was a bad throwing partner and I failed to get the ball back to him in the air during long toss! I’m 46, and have a torn meniscus. I hate him now for questioning my once well above average arm strength 🤬🤬

#BaseBall parents, if your son is a Catcher and a youth Coach tells him to practice throw downs with heavy balls because it “builds arm strength” walk them TF off the field.

Kids who batted .575 in LL and local AAU ball can’t seem to grasp the fact that when they hit 13U, MS, and HS why their average dropped to .315. You’re probably just as good of a hitter, it’s just the scorekeeper is now legit. 😏🤣

This 60/90 transition from the LL field ain’t nothing to play with kids. You young hammers dominating 12U better take that transition serious, you’ll get left behind by the ones that do. The game will weed you out I promise. 💯

My son (FR Catcher) is playing Varsity for fall ⚾️. Naturally I ask him how he’s competing and compares to the upperclassman. “Technique and fundamentals I’m right there with em, but man they’re just bigger, stronger, and faster” And that my boy is your reality for awhile lol

🧵 After much discussion of the Pros and Cons of it all my son opted out of travel ⚾️ this spring. He’ll play JHS ball and in his own words, “throwing program, hit the weights, do lessons, and get ready for fall HS ⚾️, I’m just kind of burned out on travel ⚾️ right now.”

Update, since this pic this kids team blew a 7-0 lead and lost on a walk off BB. The ⚾️ Gods remain undefeated #LLWS
Chill kid, nice bases clearing double but you’re on third cause the cut off man was way overthrown and the ⚾️ got past 2 infielders for you to advance a bag. At least that’s my convo as the 3B coach in this situation #LLWS

I’m 💯 convinced that the most underdeveloped skill in youth ⚾️ is base running. We spent an hour on it last night, and could probably spend an entire week. Of all the things we struggled with this past weekend this was it. 50/70 allows mistakes that 60/90 punishes you for

I called a player “Sir-K-A Lot” today at practice when I handed him his bat. He went home and told his mom, she gave me the stank eye when I walked through the door. 😏 I thought it was funny 🤷♂️

Welp ⚾️, it’s been a good ride. As a ⚾️ guy it’s hard to see your son wanting to move on from it but as a dad you support your kids no matter what. 🏀 is his passion, his pursuit, so we say 👋 for now and leave the door open (hopefully) one day, go be great kiddo and ball TF out

There’s always that one ⚾️ kid you know who’s been shit on by “adults.” A bit awkward, lacks some athleticism at a younger age, gets passed on over politics or simply overlooked, but just keeps working. Those are the kids you want to help, you want to see succeed, no matter what

Things you’d hear in ⚾️ 30 years ago you’d never hear today.
1. “All The gear is in the big green ARMY bag”
2. “The C cup is one size fits all
3. “Swing level”
4. “We only have 3 team bats, pick one close to your size.”
5. “Tag Day is this Saturday”

I’m highly confident that every College HC in the country is sitting on the edge of their seat waiting for the release of this 9U watch list 🤨
Over the next few weeks we will be releasing our "TBS players to watch" list!
Each age group will be released in three parts!
Today will feature the first of our 9U athletes!

Let’s keep this simple. Parents of 13U and younger, if your travel org is talking to you about college ⚾️ rn, leave. If they’re talking to you about development and fundamentals, stay. You’re welcome

This ump worked 2 games today by himself behind the plate. At the very least I thought a handshake was warranted. So did my C who’s worked a few games with him in the past, and game 1 today. Catchers, always thank your umps. 💯

I saw where some 8U travel ⚾️ coaches were arrested for drinking in the dugout.
1- if you’ve ever coached this age, you’ll understand why they were drinking lol
2- when I was 8 (early 80’s) the base coaches gave signs with 1 hand, the other was to, hold their 🍺 😂

My father-in-law passed away tonight, at a restaurant in Stuart, FL but only after he finished his Prime Rib and a double Scotch. The timing was impeccable, I’ll miss our golf outings and our drinks afterwards. Gonna miss him immensely 💔 call your parents, tell em you love em

My son guest played this past weekend with a program for a PG Tourney. Pool play HC hit 12 through the order no P went past 78 pitches, pitched 9 total had 4 different C’s in 4 games, I heard no complaint from a parent, made the semis (lost to eventual champ) Kudos to him 👍

So pitch counts continue to drop, TJ surgeries continue to rise. Maybe the larger issue is not enough throwing in season, too much in the off-season, improper arm care during both seasons or no off-season at all 🤷♂️🤔 But just keep worrying about “pitch counts” #baseballtwitter

After 7 straight balls and his P struggling, Sandefur makes the visit, maintains his composure in front of 5k in attendance and against a ranked state rival. If he can do it, so can 10U coaches. @HerdBaseball

No one is ever allowed to say on this app ever again that there is a shortage of ⚾️ umpires and catching coaches in youth ⚾️ There are literally hundreds of experts I’ve met on here just in the last 24 hours, don’t ever want to hear it again. 😁

College sports is in shambles. Sure, let’s skip our first 4 HS starts for this, let’s specialize 12 year olds for this, let’s drop 15K a year in youth ⚾️ as the ROI is certainly there🤔🤨
One of my ‘23 Grads was recruited by a D1 school, he showed up to campus this fall and there were 58 players.
Before practices even started Head Coach told freshman that they aren’t needed anymore and they could play without them because they brought in a bunch of transfers.
