Parents remember there are thousands of kids who have been ranked in the top 100 of their HS class that never make it to the Big Leagues. There are plenty who were never ranked who did/do play in the big leagues. Your rank does not matter... your work does.
BREAKING: Major League Baseball teams will provide housing for minor league baseball players starting in 2022, sources tell ESPN.
Details on the monumental change
@espn
:
This is a lesson for any kid out there who wants to know what it takes...you can always get better. Look at what this guy is doing when nobody is watching (you can’t do anything in a stadium anymore without someone catching it) go get your ring Kersh.
According to a source JT Realmuto will either be traded to an AL club or an NL team. Possibility remains he is not traded at all and plays Catcher this season.
5 years ago I walked into the clubhouse after paternity leave to silence. Went to Donnie’s office to tell him I was back. Only to find
@DavidPSamson
and Mike Hill sitting there too. They shared the news. It was impossible to believe. Nothing has been the same since
#rip16
I love this. Saw it first hand how they treated me when I could provide nothing for them. I am not surprised they are helping Andrew. Its bigger then sports.

@editti22
Is there anyone else out there that wishes youth travel ball would revert back to American Legion or playing with your local travel team? When you play with a constant group of guys you learn to play for them instead of just playing for yourself and metrics.
People ask l the time if I miss playing. Truth is I dont. But i miss the clubhouse everyday because you never know when there will be a moment like this.
Watching the Randy Johnson 20k game on
@MLBNetwork
. They just said the Big Unit averages 124 pitches a start.... let that sink in. This was 2001.

Hi,
My name is Tom. After wavering back and forth and doing I lot of thinking. I have come to the conclusion that Jacob deGrom deserves the CY Young. If he wins it will show huge change in how people vote. If he doesn’t win, the voting style will never change.
Thank you
@dodgers
. Deep down I feel like I am un deserving of this. Again I want to thank all the trainers PT’s and coaches that never gave up on me getting back last year no matter how lost of a cause it may have…
Random Thought While 👀
@MLBNetwork
It is amazing that Baseball games are played in stadiums with different dimensions. No other sport allows a point to be scored or taken away by the shape and distances of a wall.
I also think this is another reason the game is so beautiful.
I didnt feel that
#earthquake
but my kid did randomly fall down about 30 minutes ago while running. I would much rather blame an earthquake than a possible lack of athleticism.
Kids dream to become MLB players not because of fancy algorithms & fractions, but because of the stars on the field. It is scary to think people are losing sight of what and who steer the ship. Sure analytics are important but the guys on the field are the SHOW. Dont forget that
As a former player & player Rep. This article is disturbing to me.
@billjamesonline
recognized as Godfather of Sabermetrics & admired..with ANALYTIC Depts. growing & hearing comments like players are assets & commodities..players beware!

Jon I believe you are very good at your job. However, as someone whose career ended due to an injury I believe this joke is inappropriate. These kind of tweets should be saved for the comedy and satire sites not you.
I stopped trusting politicians in 5th grade when the student body President said if elected she would get chocolate milk in the water fountains. She won and we got nothing.
Everyone is throwing Mike Hill under the bus… did he just not like me? Cause he didnt teach me shit? Oh wait wasn’t Gallen drafted by the Cardinals? Come on…
Arizona
#Dbacks
ace Zac Gallen strongly suggested that the
#Marlins
, his original organization, taught their pitchers the benefit of using illegal substances when Mike Hill was their GM. He says he’ll have more to say after Commissioner Rob Manfred addresses the subject.
Great breakdown here. This is way better than Tom Verducci blaming Barnes on
@MLBNetwork
. Also Kersh was big mad. These games are going to be fun all year. Too bad it wasnt on national TV last night. Good way to grow the game
@barstoolcarl
When Mark Buerhle was in Miami it was my first year on the 40 man. They had delicious dried mango in the food room during spring training that I crushed. When I got called up September of that year 7 months later Buerhle left a giant bowl of those dried 🥭 in my locker. HOF guy
I sat next to
@buehlersdayoff
everyday in Spring training and waa beyond impressed with his baseball IQ. It’s awesome to see it translate on the field when the team needs it most. Big things ahead for that little guy.
Thank You ⚾️ you have been great to me. Looking forward to starting my next chapter in the game. Idk when or what that will be. But first I have some 5 year old softball to watch. @ Bradenton, Florida
Rogers, Sixto, Pablo, Sandy is hell of a four to have for the next 4-6 years. If the
@marlins
supplement those guys w/ consistent offense there is potential for some serious fun in South Florida.
After 10 years in the
@marlins
org i made my first start for the
@BlueJays
it happened to be my last
@mlb
start as i was moved to the pen. That led me to sign with the
@Dodgers
for whom i never was able to pitch. It all happens fast... enjoy the ride...
Random guy: how you jack up your arm?
Me: threw too many pitches
Rg: slow pitch or fast pitch?
M: sometimes fast pitch
Rg: semi pro or rec
M: i dont really know.
September 11, 2013: José Fernández pimps a home run in the final game of his rookie season. Chris Johnson, Brian McCann and the Braves did not appreciate that!
I learned a lot this weekend. I learned a lot needs to change in amateur baseball. I learned these High School players are more talented than ever. I also learned the product on the field is worsening. Showcase ball is killing winning ball. LEARN TO DO BOTH
Regardless of how the rest of the year plays out for him. I believe
@buehlersdayoff
starts are becoming must watch TV. He reminds me a lot of another young right hand starter i played with, similar confidence and aggressiveness mixed with some cockiness
#savethestarter
HS guys don’t commit just to say you are committed. Do your research, take your time. A lot of players played in
@MLB
that didn’t commit till late/went to relatively small schools or juco. IF YOU CAN PLAY THEY WILL FIND YOU. Don’t use your commitment as a status thing.
I think when I am 60 years old I will tell younger people. Man you really should have seen that Mike Trout play. He could slug the ball and run like the dickens.
Going to try that
#opener
thing tomorrow. It’s been a long road to get hear but I just want to thank all the PT’s ATC & SC that got me back to this point. The work is no where near over but we are a lot closer to getting all the way back than we were at this point last year.
