Today's hitters have beautiful swings, but they have only one swing. If a pitcher throws it in his bat path, the hitter doesn't just hit a line-drive single to left field. He hits it 20 rows up. But if the pitcher identifies and avoids that one bat path, he strikes him out.

Analytics will be the death of baseball unless situations are managed differently. Wheeler was dealing thru 6 innings at 70 pitches. There is grey area, not all zeros and ones. @notgaetti @O3jfrye.

25 years ago, I stepped onto the baseball diamond in Medicine Hat, Alberta, marking the beginning of my professional career. It feels incredible to reflect on that milestone today. #BaseballMemories #25YearsStrong

After I hit a home run I had a habit of running the bases with my head down. I figured the pitcher already felt bad enough without me showing him up rounding the bases. Baseball.

The challenge of leadership is to be strong but not rude; be kind but not weak; be bold but not a bully; be humble but not timid; be proud but not arrogant; have humor but without folly.

The best executive is the one who has sense enough to pick good men to do what he wants done, and self-restraint to keep from meddling with them while they do it.

Sometimes people never realize the impact you can have on someone's journey. "Bob, you came to my school in 2001. As a result, I got to introduce you to the school and spend the bulk of the day with you guys, which, for a 12 year old, was about the coolest thing in the world."

Sad to see so much power gone from managers and relying so much on analytics and guys making decisions who never went to war with the other 24 guys day after day. At some point it’s information overload.

@martinonyc Not at all the same. Not even close. @carlosdelgado21 was a student of the game and his methodology should be taught to all baseball players today.

A good leader is a person who takes a little more than his share of the blame and a little less than his share of the credit.

I never blame myself when I'm not hitting. I just blame the bat and if it keeps up, I change bats. Baseball.
