Heartbroken. My coach. My mentor. My friend. I love you.

2 years. Miss you every day. I hope we’re making you proud!.

Life is good, part 2.

Had the lake to myself this evening. A week full of family and fishing to recharge the batteries before the fall. Life is good!

Culver-Stockton still has opportunities for this upcoming fall! School starts in less than a month!! Good scholarships available. Needs: . 1 - MIF.1 - corner INF.4 - pitchers . DM me if you’re still looking for a home.

FIRED UP to welcome @M_Alvarez33 as our new Graduate Assistant Coach. The Wildcat 9 just got a ton better. Coach Alvarez will work with our hitters and infielders. The time to be a Wildcat is now!! Better jump on board. #GoWild.

ADVICE TO YOUNG COLLEGE COACHES. PART 1:. When recruiting, don’t get discouraged from being told no. You’re going to be told no more often than you are yes. Especially at the smaller levels. Keep showing up, calling, texting and finding your guys. Build those relationships.

Uncommitted pitchers:. We still have opportunities and good scholarship money available for the fall. Plenty of innings available!! . DMs are open! . @BUncommitted @UncommittedUsa.

Auto ejection in college baseball, by the way. Our players will always try and emulate the next level. Stand offs, bat flips, what they’re wearing, etc. If it’s a part of our game, it needs to be a part of our game at every level.

This. I wish this was the standard. If something doesn’t change, in my opinion, then summer leagues will start disappearing.

My yearly reminder as we are in the middle of the summer: . Wear the sunscreen.

The game of baseball is changing. My “rules” as a head coach are a little different than my 7th year. I use to say no to earrings and necklaces. I even looked at hair length, etc. Not anymore - let that personally shine!!. I’m even coming around to backwards hats. Maybe. But.

It has been a huge 24 hours for the Wildcats. We just got better in a lot of ways!! A middle of the order bat and outfielder is ALL IN. A defensive DUDE behind the plate is ALL IN. Who’s next?!. #GoWild.

Dawg.

Extremely proud of this dude. @CSCWildcat9 second baseman @JackLinenfelser first day with the Paddlers and he had a day!!! . 2-3 with a big fly!! Come on, Jack!! Excited to see him continue getting better. #GoWild

When your playing career is done and you’re sitting at a wedding talking to your former teammates - you won’t remember the wins and losses. The big wins and loses? Sure. You’ll remember:.- bus rides (mafia).- hotels.- going to that nasty buffet because your coach is crazy.-.

Still have the following needs:. 1B - 1.MIF - 2.C - 1.P - 4. Let’s get the ball rolling!! JUCO or transfer guys!.

How many guys are going to be left in the portal when school starts in August?. On top of those guys - all of the NAIA and JUCO guys who say they’re in the “portal” as well. How many good baseball players will not be playing baseball next spring?.

I’ve been lucky to have really good players and really good assistant coaches. I’m just along for the ride. Back to work tomorrow.

For the record: I agree with just about everything people have said here. The major takeaway: the system is broken. Also for the record: @CSCWildcat9 has “cut” 1 guy since I took the job in 2019. A disciplinary issue - not talent. If I recruit them - they’re my guys. Good or bad.
