Team Mexico is putting the wood to Team USA. Benji Gil is schooling Mark DeRosa. The Mexicans want it more! It's a Country Club in the USA dugout. Another example of declining USA baseball. Piss poor effort! As I said in previous text Mexico is un equipo peligroso!

I played 10 years in each of the Mexican Leagues. I loved every second of it! Met some great people and it was a great experience. I had no problem con la comida. A couple of bien fria cervezas and a shot of tequila and I was good to go! Great times.

Perfect timing for Padres to hire Benji Gil. Home town boy. Has paid his dues and would be a perfect fit for a talented team that needs direction. Gil can put his talented communication skills to work. This job is taylor made for Gil. Give him a shot!

Catcher should of given up home plate entirely with no play being made. Runner has right to cross home plate with no contact or a shoulder or elbow being thrown! IMO catcher needs to be tossed. (Cheap shot)

Why is it that some of the people teaching this stuff can't see that it limits and restricts your lateral movement, range and mobility. It's lazy! Exposure for more injury, less effective, blocking, throwing, anything up and out of the zone that can't be caught are all limited.

Completely disagree. Being a former MLB catcher, it's the catcher's responsibility to judge the distance between himself and the hitter (potential) back swing. Should the hitter have to shorten his backswing? How do u do that? Move up in the box? Tell the catcher to stay back? 😂

Hitters need to be held accountable with back swings causing injuries to catchers. It's happening more often than I can remember. It can't just be a simple "Oops".

Completely disagree with all of these! Old Way 1-Have confidence hitting with 2 strikes 2- shorten up to track pitch longer. This will enable u to make more contact. 3-Look to do damage with 2 strikes, not just make contact. 4-Make defense earn out. 5- Focus and enjoy battle!

What Hitters think with 2ks: Old way - Anything close - Putting it in play is a win - Coach might get mad if I K - Can't strikeout looking here New Way - Slightly expand the zone - The pitcher must come to me - Flip the count from 0-2 to 2-0 - Look middle middle New > Old

@DodgerInsider @Dodgers Ryu should be a model to other teams to copy. Instead of focusing on velocity , develop pitchers that can throw 3-4 pitches for strikes. Consistent mechanics leads to better command. One of the reasons Ryu doesn't throw bullpen in between starts.

Love the effort! As usual there's a few issues here. Releasing the ball from a shorter distance (3-4 ft) Also the receiving position is to much of a drop step (cheating) lose your body and chest as a target. Catchers throw hand should be closer to glove hand to transfer quicker.

Snap and Tilt? Both r negative movements in most hitters. These movements create lack of consistency. Higher K%, Higher flyball outs %, less contact and lower avg. The biggest negative is there becomes more weak areas in the swing. Head/vision is poor.

Why r we celebrating after hits? R pitchers celebrating after every K? Are Outfielders celebrating after every catch? The only celebration I want to see is after winning the WS! Not Matty Approved!

Why is it important to explain what each muscle, bone, tendon and every other body part are doing during the swing? What if these body parts aren't moving the way Teacherman says they should? Can u still be a good hitter? (Absolutely) Guru garbage at its best! Go Cardinals!

Old school baseball guys are much better and more experienced and knowledgeable than new school salesmen!

In so many aspects this particular 🤡 is clueless. Doesn’t softoss correctly. Should be firm, to keep swing short and compact. He short arms the toss. Doesn’t look like someone who has done this much. Doesn’t present himself or his appearance like he played much or at all. 🚩

A perfect example of HLP-Launch Angle mechanics. High K %-Less contact rate-higher flyball out rate-Lower avg- and a swing with a 💩 load of holes. Swing and misses galore! Not Matty Approved! What r Dodgers hitting coaches telling Taylor?

He loves to explain in his version what hitters do in the videos he selects. This does not translate into him knowing anything about hitting. There are 100 ways to hit and every hitter is different. Richie is a video guru! His way to make parents think he knows hitting. A JOKE!

Yes they want to keep there jobs. If analysts don't find things to change there out of a job and why have analytics. The game hasn't improved. And the most important things are things you can't put a number on or a %. Bogus stats are all over the place. Just ask Bruce Bochy.

HLP is for the birds! Using Mr. Judge as your marketing rat is a joke! What about the freshman HS player hitting .080. Every out is a K or flyball. Has no confidence and can’t figure out why hes struggling. Season lost and gone. Guru Garbage! 💩

Ball Anxiety? HLP crushes every pitch, every speed, every location? Really? Why do all your HLP guys K so much? You do know the pitcher is telling the hitter what’s coming right? Oh damn, you didn’t know that, my bad. 🤦 #shegone @twuench @billdubs @SliderDominate @SimplyAJ10

Bull 💩 is what it is. The letters mean High Level Pattern. What it means to me is lower avg. Higher K %, less contact, more flyball outs and more holes in your swing!

Why is no target given? To much glove movement, especially to get to high pitch! New age instructors are clueless!

Terrible teachings. I believe the exact opposite. Flat barrel longer through zone, more contact, better plate coverage, shorter and quicker to ball, easier swing to repeat! Vertical barrel- for slow pitch softball high strike out, less contact %, slumps, leads to players quitting

Ball should of been caught! Once left knee went down . Limited range went into effect.

@O3jfrye @notgaetti @BobFile @twuench @BaseballScrap If you’re calling a high fastball, why drop a knee?! Stealing the low pitch on a called high fastball?! I got it, you take it. Dropping that left knee anchored him and got caught with limited lateral mobility. He closed himself off. IMO, ball has to be caught. #OneKneeTrash

Stiff arm receiving- no good- no target and to much movement-no good.working under the ball is overrated and unnecessary. KD setup will be gone in a few years. New changes aren't working. Catching is at its all time worst!

Yes-Two things here , bases are 6 inches closer and the attempted pickoff rule. This certainly makes it much easier to steal a bag. Other intangibles could be KD setup by catchers. Defensive infield alignments (getting to the base later) should be an asterisk *

Hogwash! This swing is in the zone less time. It's in then it's out, thus the % of contact has decreased and K's are at a all-time hi. A to B swing is not a push! It's a shorter path to ball which enable hitters to track pitches longer, thus this swing creates more contact. 😂🤡

Look at this head! Can a hitter see any pitch with this head position. (No) Some solid hitting professionals think hitting starts with your head/vision discipline. You can't hit it if you can't see it. The clown 🤡 in the video obviously doesn't teach that. Not Matty Approved!

@O3jfrye .230 that's being nice. The Lacrosse drill. Everything this clown comes up with has nothing to do with the development of a hitter in a positive way. It's an insult to the sport and experienced private instructors and coaches that do it right.

This is ridiculous! What does hitting a pad and having your swing stop develop u into a good hitter? More evidence of fraudulent instruction. Can u see Mike Trout hitting a blocking pad in his daily routine and preparation?
