Trevor Bauer is finding out that Mexican League baseball @LigaMexBeis isn’t a beer and taco league. My boys @tigresqroficial came to bang. Pitchers, it’s extremely important to field your position. You can’t just show up and expect to make plays. You must work at it. #ROXSystem

Looks like the #OneKneeTrash gurus are figuring out what baseball men have known for over 100 years. You can’t allow a 80% SB success rate. So easy, simple, and effective, even a highly touted 17-year old prospect and future of catching in MLB can do it. Beautiful! #ROXstradamus

A kid at the combine just threw 102mph from RF to home plate on the line. They asked him what he did to have such a great arm. He said, “lots of long toss and throwing a football.” SHOCKER! No lab rat facilities? I know two guys who applied the same “old school” techniques.

1. Respect the game.
2. Hustle on and off the field.
3. Wear your uniform correctly.
4. The game owes you nothing.
5. Nobody is bigger than the game.
6. Be on time.
7. Play to win.
8. The Baseball Gods see everything.
9. Be a good teammate.
10. Know the rules.

Old, outdated and valueless catching. What the hell was O’Hoppe doing in an athletic secondary stance with Ohtani on first base attempting to steal?! Hmmmm, what a concept?! Beat it geeks! SAY NO TO #OneKneeTrash KIDS!! The gimmick is tired. #ROXstradamus

Julio Urias last year was 20-3 with a 2.96 ERA.
Julio Urias this year is 17-7 with a 2.29 ERA.
And there’s still 3 starts to go.

It can be done. Those guys DO exist. Those guys are Gold Glovers and winners who take pride in their craft, and take it personal if they don’t execute a block regardless of where it’s thrown. By any means necessary. If you’ve never played the position, you will NEVER understand.

Dear MLB,
When you’re ready to open up an academy in Mexico, like you do in DR and Venezuela, let me know. In the mean time, I’ll be in Quintana Roo, Sinaloa, Baja California, and Sonora building the best ball players Mexico has to offer.

Long toss. A lost art. It’s free. Immediate feedback. Creates true backspin. Builds strength. Builds endurance. Loosens the arm. Creates rhythm. Establishes tempo. Refines cadence. Increases velocity. Build confidence. Where did we go wrong?! #ROXSystem @O3jfrye #SheGone

No idea how Greg Maddux got all of those borderline pitches called strikes without a catcher on one knee yanking his glove back into the middle of the plate. 🤔
Greg Maddux faced 20,421 batters over the course of his career.
Only 310 (1.5%) saw a 3-0 count. Of those, over half of them (177) were intentional walks.

Fired by the Mets in 2011. He had two options: Go home and quit, or go to work and fight like hell. Here he is in 2019, and 2020 will be his record-breaking 18th season as a Big Leaguer. The most by any Mexican-born baseball player. NO ME SÉ RAJAR! 🇲🇽🍅🔥 #OliverPerez #ROXSystem

0% blame on the pitch clock! A pitch should be made every 12-15 seconds anyway. 100% blame on max velo chase, max spin rate rip, improper strength & conditioning, overuse of breaking pitches, and a breakdown in proper movement patterns & mechanics. #ROXstradamus #ROXSystem
The Dodgers continue to lose pitchers for entire seasons and longer due to Tommy John surgeries.
How much blame do you think should be put on the pitch clock?

I hate to see anybody get hurt and I hope Contreras is OK. You can blame the #OneKneeTrash gurus who tell catchers to get closer to the strike zone to steal more strikes. This isn’t an assumption, this is fact. I have been told by MLB catchers. Garbage!

IMO, Trevor Bauer’s MLB demise wasn’t so much the off field allegations as it was his on field antics. Throwing the ball out of the stadium, showing up teammates, mound nonsense, and Manfred trolling can’t happen. Nobody wants to hire a liability. Professionalism is everything.

Per Joe Davis, since the start of last year, the Dodgers are 46-15 when Julio Urias starts.
Also, since the start of last year, Julio leads all of MLB pitchers with 37 wins. Second on that list with 28 wins are Gerrit Cole and Adam Wainwright.

“When I want the ball low, I want the ball low.” Great example of a catcher (in a squat) letting his pitcher know exactly where he wants it through non verbal communication with his glove. He commands. Tremendous. Nasty pitch, the definition of arm side run. #BehindTheDish
