At halftime of the Pats game I will randomly Venmo $20 to someone who liked this tweet. I am doing this out of sheer jealousy of @Coach_Sully1 getting close to 400 likes on his last tweet and I have a superiority complex. HELP!

I would challenge every parent watching a youth game to mic themselves up and record an entire game and then listen to it the next day. That embarrassment that many of you would feel could be enough for you to make a change in how you act/speak at games!

25 year olds dont have D1/D2/D3 relationships, they have relationships. They dont have D1/D2/D3 jobs&careers, they have jobs & careers. Your focus on division is short lived & in the end meaningless. The sooner you focus on the big picture, the sooner youll focus on what matters

Anonymous = coward Stop caring about what anonymous people say, they should have no voice. They’re pathetic excuses for people/parents and are teaching their kids all wrong. Don’t allow their stupidity a voice, it only makes it worse.

A coach delivered an angry, profanity-laced speech to members of the #NorthAttleboroMA High School’s varsity baseball squad last spring in what one parent is complaining was an abuse of the players.

It’s simple, if you bail on your high school team to start your summer season with the hope of some day playing for another school.. You’re a loser. Everyone who supports it, you are losers. Leaving a school, to hopefully play for a school…dumb.

If youre telling kids where they can/cant play in college youre wrong. Too many athletes have proven development happens @ different stages for different athletes Helping athletes through the recruiting process isnt about labeling, its about providing knowledge of the process

Development, health, and teaching young players how to be a great teammate should always be the priority in youth sports. Winning shouldn’t be above those, but that doesn’t mean winning shouldn’t be on the list. Learning how to compete the right way at a young age is critical

This is a pop time. This is a game situation… 1.9. Not a showcase running start, catch it in front of the plate pop time. @SheaDunno is about as legit a catch and throw catcher you’ll see. And he can rake. This is a 1.9 in a game, on the money. Uncommitted 2022 @GBG_Hawks

Telling a kid exactly what to throw on every pitch makes them a thrower, not a pitcher. Have conversations with them, teach them what you’re seeing, suggest pitches throughout a game, be a part of the process. But don’t build robots! @tomhouse

Calling your own game as a pitcher and catcher shouldn’t be a privilege. Give kids the ability to fail. Give them the experience to learn! If you force all your pitchers and catchers to throw exactly what you say, you’re taking a key part of the mental game away from them.

As soon as someone uses MLB or Cape Cod league as a defense to town/club baseball not playing this summer I know their motivations are off. 50,000 fans, players traveling from every state to the cape..not the same as Mansfield 11s vs Foxboro 11s or GBG vs Hurricanes #PLAYBALL !!

Criminal. “Public health” You’d think the Ivy League would have someone smart enough to run the stats & data for 18-22 year olds affected by COVID vs 18-22 year olds (and their coaches) affected by significant mental health issues from this. Adults have stopped being adults.

The #1 thing the NCAA transfer portal should remind HS players is that your commitment isnt a finish line. Its a new starting line. Instagram posts will feel great for 24 hrs, but if you arent planning on raising ur training, the insta post will be the only thing you have to show

High School players: If you had a choice, would you rather have an average coach with 4 years experience or a 1st year coach that was clearly the better coach? The answers obvious, so why do you think you should play just because you’re a senior?

It’s a bad move to not promote your players in the media. Regardless of the media source. Be proud of them using 2023 media, just like you hoped your coach did using 20th century media. Who knows, maybe having a league MVP would be good for your program?

Colleges are constantly projecting what a players athleticism will be in a few years. What they never project is maturity, if youre a problem in the classroom, the dugout, in practice, and your parents do the talking for you now, they’ll just move on to someone else.

In 2021 @Ian_Moser7 was a high level hitter and an avg defensive catcher. He worked relentlessly at becoming a better catcher and became one of the areas best C’s in 2022. Most improved player in the last year by far! Congrats Ian, you’ve earned it!!!! @GBG_Hawks

Is there a way to block tweets that say “class of 2027”? Call them 7th graders. They’re going into 7th grade. 7th.

Players enjoy seeing their programs & schools proud of their accomplishments on social media. Some people think its selfish, but theyre the same coaches that when they played bought the Herald/Globe/Chronicle/Etc hoping their coach mentioned their name in the write up years ago

Why can’t we just get everyone together to agree that when doing catcher pop times we have a batter swing and miss at the pitch? Would stop these insane showcase pop times and actually provide helpful data. If they cheat, they get a bat in their scapula... no brainer.
