Coach for Phenom Aggies Elite 13U. One of the top
@USSSA
teams in TX. Proud father to 2 daughters and one adopted son named Michael. 42-17-2 record.
#BeElite
Had to cut another 13u player on Christmas Eve today after he chose church over our optional team batting practice. Extra work isn’t for everybody but neither is playing time. Get your priorities straight.
#BeElite
Quarantined a 13u player on my team in the middle of practice today. He didn’t have any symptoms of COVID-19 he just made two errors in a row and I can’t allow that on my baseball field.
#BeElite
Just got kicked out of a tournament for coaching 3rd base with a Busch Light in my hand. Last time I checked prohibition ended in 1933. Things need to change.
#BeElite
Just cut one of my 13u players for missing our optional batting practice to go to a family thanksgiving dinner. Do you want your son to be thankful for family or going D1? Get your priorities straight.
#BeElite
No place for this in sports. I teach my guys that the only reason you ever go towards the mound in little league is to start a bench clearing brawl. A kid tries gives you some chin music and you wanna give him a hug? Do better.
#BeElite
Made a 13u player shotgun a Red Bull after not hustling down the line on a ground ball. If you aren’t gonna put pressure on the defense then I’m gonna put pressure on your cardiovascular system.
#BeElite
Tired of my team being kicked out of 13u tournaments. Yes my players dip, so do the big leaguers. Tobacco is a plant, it comes from the earth, it’s a vegetable. THINGS NEED TO CHANGE!!!
#BeElite
Michael (my adopted son) wanted a puppy for Christmas so I got him a set of Driveline balls and some caffeine pills. Puppies don’t help you throw gas Michael.
#BeElite
Just made one my best pitchers switch jerseys so I could pitch him in the semis and the championship game. 217 pitches of straight filth. Elbow pain is temporary, 13u state championships are forever.
#BeElite
Ibuprofen is such an underutilized tool in youth baseball. If your best pitchers arm hurts just have him take 4 and go shove for another 6 innings.
#BeElite
Cut one of my 13u players yesterday for joining the local Boy Scout troop. How is learning to tie a square knot going to help your son throw gas? Max Scherzer has never made a bird house in his life. Do better.
#BeElite
Got a call from school today after I packed Michael (my adopted son’s) lunch. What do you mean a tub of protein powder and a Bang isn’t a well balanced meal for a 13 year old? I’m trying to raise his draft stock not his life expectancy.
#BeElite
Forced one of my 13u players to shotgun a Bang after not running out a routine groundball. If you aren’t going to put pressure on the defense I’m gonna put pressure on your cardiovascular system.
#BeElite
Cut a kid on my 13u team for getting corona virus. Such a bullshit excuse to miss practice. You’re really gonna let a single cell organism keep you from getting better? Unbelievable.
#BeElite
Cut a player from my 13u team earlier for choosing church over batting practice on Christmas Eve. Extra work isn’t for everybody but neither is playing time.
#BeElite
If the MLB doesn’t have a pitch count limit neither will my 13u team. If Alex is still dealing 134 pitches in you bet your ass he’s finishing the game. Elbow pain is temporary, bracket play games are forever.
#BeElite
Kicked two kids off my 13u team for having a heat stroke in the middle of practice today. If you can’t handle a little sun during a 5 hour practice how am I supposed to count on you to perform in the tourney championship game?
#BeElite
Cut one of my 13u players this morning for missing our optional workout to go black friday shopping with his mom. Hope that discounted PS5 was worth it, cause you’ll have a lot more free time to play it now.
#BeElite
Ibuprofen is such an underutilized tool in youth baseball. If your best pitchers arm hurts just have him take 7 of them and go shove for another 6 innings.
#BeElite
Don’t understand why teams get upset when I fly in 15 year old Dominicans to pitch in 13u bracket play games. Not my fault your son can’t touch Carlos’s devastating 87mph fastball from the left side. Adapt and overcome.
#BeElite
Hey
@astros
I feel your pain. We got kicked out of a tournament last summer for not having USSSA stamps on our illegal bats. Last time I checked it’s a baseball bat not an envelope. The stamp isn’t the reason your son’s fastball is rolling around in the parking lot.
#BeElite
Caffeine is such an underutilized tool in youth sports. If your pitcher is tired after throwing 130 pitches in a game have him shotgun a Red Bull and throw game two.
#BeElite
Made my 13u players work on baserunning in a busy intersection today. If you can dodge a Honda Civic you can steal second base. Practicing on asphalt builds character plain and simple.
#BeElite
Had to cut another 13u player on Christmas Eve today after he chose church over our optional team batting practice. Extra work isn’t for everybody but neither is playing time. Get your priorities straight.
#BeElite
Tired of getting kicked out of 13u tournaments. Yes my players use ZYNs. So do the big leaguers. Success leaves clues. Maybe if your team had a nicotine addiction you wouldn’t be in the consolation bracket. But what do I know?
#BeElite
Apparently it’s frowned upon to force your 13 year old child to take pre-workout before PE everyday? You never know when a Yankees scout is watching. By far the softest conversation I’ve had at a parent teacher conference.
#BeElite
Had to cut one of my 13u players yesterday after he missed “optional”practice for a family Christmas. Should’ve asked Santa for a better work ethic instead of a PS5 Alex.
#BeElite
Took away a 13u players elbow guard mid at bat after he got out of the way of a pitch. If you aren’t going to use it you don’t need to wear it. Tired of selfish at bats in youth baseball.
#BeElite
Got a call from school today after I packed Michael (my adopted son’s) lunch. What do you mean a tub of protein powder and a Bang isn’t a well balanced meal for a 13 year old? I’m trying to raise his draft stock not his life expectancy.
#BeElite
Tired of upset parents contacting me about the mandatory 6 am practice I held on Christmas Day. Way too close to baseball season to take days off. Do you want your child to
#TrustTheProcess
or believe in Santa?
#BeElite
Just broke Michael (my adopted son’s) laptop over my knee after I caught him doing online class in his room. I didn’t put a weight rack, a 6 pack of Bang, and a batting tee in the garage for nothing son. Figure it out.
#BeElite
Got a call from the school today after I took Michael (my adopted son’s) math textbook out of his backpack to make room for his glove. Last time I checked Mike Trout doesn’t get paid for being good at long division.
#BeElite
Just made one my best pitchers switch jerseys so I could pitch him in the semis and the championship game. 219 pitches of straight filth. Elbow pain is temporary, 13u state championships are forever.
#BeElite
Hey
@tatis_jr
I feel your pain. One time I got into a fight with an opposing coach after having my players steal 2nd and 3rd base with a 20 run lead. It’s not my fault your son has a squirt gun for an arm behind the plate John. Don’t like it? Play better.
#BeElite
Made my 13u team do Navy Seal training instead of going to the lake for Memorial Day. Grandpa didn’t humble a bunch of Germans back in the day so you could end up the consolation bracket.
#BeElite
Just got kicked out of the indoor facility for hitting my team grounders with a Busch Light in my hand. Last time I checked prohibition ended in 1933. Things need to change.
#BeElite
Seeing grandma and eating some food or 2 hours of batting practice. Which one is going to help you go D1? Every time you pick family there’s a player out there that didn’t that’s getting better.
#BeElite
I was just forced to cut one of my 13u players for missing optional batting practice today for a family Easter. Need more guys that want to compete instead of decorate eggs on my roster. Winners do what it takes.
#BeElite
Forced one of my 13u players to break up with his girlfriend after he didn’t get a hit in our tournament last weekend. Chicks dig the longball not a guy with a sub .200 batting average on the team GameChanger Sam. Don’t like it? Play better.
#BeElite
One of my 13u pitchers collapsed on the mound last weekend after overdosing on ibuprofen. Needed him to pitch back to back games and didn’t realize seven ibuprofen’s doesn’t mean 7 shutout innings. You live and you learn.
#BeElite
Just kicked a player off my 13u team for using hand warmers during one of our fall ball games. You think Mickey Mantle played outfield with a HotHands in his pocket? Grow up.
#BeElite
All these allegations that I put a HS senior on my 13U team in the Dallas fall ball tournament are absurd. Javier is 6’ 2” 180lbs at 13. Kid is just elite. Sorry your son has never seen an 83mph slider before.
#BeElite
Can’t believe one of my 13u players got tossed last weekend for a “spikes up” slide into second base. Tell your son to get out of the base line if he likes his Tibia in one piece. I teach my kids to hustle. Things need to change.
#BeElite
Just got kicked out of a 13u tournament for not letting my kids leave the field of play during a severe thunderstorm. If you wanted to be in the dugout you should’ve gotten out of the inning before the storm started.
#BeElite
Cut a kid from my 13u team today for skipping our annual 6 am Thanksgiving Day lift. Do you want your child to be thankful for “family” or for hitting 400ft bombs? Some parents need to get their priorities straight.
#BeElite
Caffeine is such an underutilized tool in the youth baseball scene. Elite college players and pros have energy drinks EVERY day. Why wouldn’t you force your child to start these habits early in their career? Success leaves clues.
#BeElite
Tired of upset parents contacting me about not including a “warm up” at my 13u tryout. If your kid needs to stretch before running a 60 yd. dash or throwing a 100 pitch bullpen he’s probably not athletic enough to play for me to begin with.
#BeElite
Apparently it’s frowned upon to have bench press be apart of a 13u baseball tryout. If the NFL combine does it why shouldn’t we? Either rise to the occasion and rep out 225lbs. for a set of 10 or get the hell out of my indoor facility.
#BeElite
Just had to cut two of my 13u players for choosing a Halloween party over an optional team lift. Carving a pumpkin isn’t going to make you throw 90mph. Winners find a way.
#BeElite
Worked on wearing pitches at today’s practice. Nothing like giving 13 year olds a little chin music to blow off some steam after a long day at the office.
#BeElite
As someone that gets DMs everyday from people critiquing me on how I coach a fake 13u team this might be the worst take I’ve ever seen on this app.
#BeElite
No doubt the NFL is considering postponing the rest of this game - but how? This late in the season, a game of this magnitude is crucial to the regular-season outcome ... which suddenly seems so irrelevant.
Michael (my adopted son) had the PS5 on his Christmas wish list this year so I got him squat rack and a 6 pack of Bang instead. Video games don’t help you throw gas son.
#BeElite
Michael (my adopted son) tried to go to bed last night before getting his lifting in so I slipped 3 scoops of pre workout into his drink at dinner tonight. It’s easier to deadlift with an itchy face than sleep. Some people have to learn that the hard way.
#BeElite
Had to cut one of my 13u players today after he missed practice to attend a family Christmas. In December we make future MLB all-stars not gingerbread houses Josh. Have some feel.
#BeElite
Tired of upset parents contacting me about the 13u travel ball fee increase for next season. Yes $10k is a lot for summer ball but college scholarships are worth WAY more than that. Pay up and your son might get one Cindy.
#BeElite
Made the kid with asthma on my team run extra today at practice. Found a vaping device he called an “Inhaler” in his bag. You think Derek Jeter vaped in his prime Jacob? Figure it out.
#BeElite
Refused to let one of my 13u players drink water for the rest of the game after failing to execute a hit and run yesterday. You should have thought about how thirsty you were going to be when you hung our runner out to dry at 2nd.
#BeElite
Having your 13u team work on 1st and 3rd situations at 6am every Monday isn’t for everybody, but neither is winning. Have fun in the consolation bracket.
#BeElite
So when
@Alek_Manoah6
does this he gets praised but when I do it from the dugout when my pitcher is dealing I get asked to leave the 13u tournament? Unreal.
#BeElite
Big believer in constructive criticism, that’s why last weekend when my catcher had a costly past ball in the 5th inning I made him catch the rest of the game without gear. If you aren’t going to block balls you don’t need to wear a chest protector Seth.
#BeElite
Cut a player today for skipping practice after his mom called saying the roads were “too slick.” You think a little ice kept Barry Bonds from getting his tee work in? What a joke.
#BeElite
Brought my 13u team to the local zoo to work on some agility and grip strength today. If you can climb into an enclosure and outrun a Rhino there’s no excuse for not having any hustle doubles this season.
#BeElite
Can’t believe the neighbors shut down my mandatory practice this morning. Corona virus might be contagious but so is losing. If you’re going to let a bunny determine whether or not you practice have fun in the loser’s bracket.
#BeElite
Don’t understand why the parents of the diabetic kid on my 13u team are upset I switched his insulin out for some HGH. Who cares if your kid’s head hurts he looks like Bo Jackson now.
#BeElite
Made Michael (my adopted son) sleep outside last night after not getting selected in the first round of the draft. I don’t care if you’re only 13 if you can’t get attention from an MLB scout you aren’t going to get any from your dad.
#BeElite
Just got arrested during the city’s 4th of July parade. Apparently throwing fireball shooters off of your 13u baseball teams parade float instead of candy is considered procuring to minors? Last time I checked prohibition ended in 1933.
#BeElite
I make any kid on my 13u team that gets out of the way of a pitch take his next at bat with no helmet. If you’re going to be selfish and not take the free base you don’t need to wear one of our TEAM helmets. Plain and simple.
#BeElite
Made a 13u player shotgun a Monster energy drink after not hustling down the line on a ground ball. If you aren’t gonna put pressure on the defense then I’m gonna put pressure on your cardiovascular system.
#BeElite
My adopted son (Michael) woke up this morning to a set of
@DrivelineBB
weighted balls and IcyHot cream in his stocking. I don’t care if you asked for an Nintendo Switch that’s not gonna help you throw gas.
#BeElite
Tired of upset parents contacting me about the walk-up songs I chose for my 13u players this year. Somebody had to have Gasolina as theirs. It’s not my fault you’re the only Dominican kid on the team Miguel. Grow up.
#BeElite
Just cut one of my players for trying to use an oven mitt while base running. If you’re worried about getting cleated just be faster. Ricky Henderson stole 1406 bases in his career and he didn’t have look like he was baking cookies to be fast.
#BeElite
Started a new team rule at yesterday’s practice where I don’t allow water in my dugout. If I’m not allowed to drink at the field neither are my players. Everybody knows dehydration is just a mindset.
#BeElite
Tired of my 13u teams parents complaining about what I keep in the dugout first aid kit. I don’t care if your son’s elbow hurts if Tiger balm, ibuprofen and a Bang can’t fix your child’s injury that’s a you problem.
#BeElite
Cut one of my 13u players today for choosing carvings pumpkins with his family over “optional” batting practice today. Do you want your son to have a 95mph exit velocity or to be able to carve a jack-o-lantern??
#BeElite
Tired of upset parents contacting me about my post game dining choices. If you didn’t want your son to go to
@Hooters
you shouldn’t have let us go 3-0 in pool play this weekend. Some people need to grow up.
#BeElite
Tired of upset parents contacting me about the home workout plan I put together for my players. I’m sorry your 13 year old son can’t do refrigerator squats for 3 sets of 10 but that’s not my problem. Winners find a way.
#BeElite
Made Michael (my adopted son) sleep outside last night after not getting selected in the draft. I don’t care if you’re only 13 if you can’t get attention from an MLB scout you aren’t going to get any from your dad.
#BeElite
Tired of getting kicked out of 13u tournaments. If your son is going to get out of the way of a fastball he doesn’t get to wear a helmet for the next AB. Be a team player if you want to use the team equipment.
#BeElite
Kicked a 13u player off of my team for missing optional batting practice to hangout with his girlfriend on Valentine’s day. Need players focused on winning not buying teddy bears from the local Walgreens.
#BeElite
Forced my 13u players to practice in a downpour today. Some parents are so soft. If you’re really gonna be intimidated by a little lightning how am I supposed to be able to count on your child to perform when there’s a championship medal on the line?
#BeElite
Just cut one of my 13u players for missing the optional 4 hour practice I held on Thanksgiving Day. Do you wanna be thankful for “family” or throwing 90 mph next season?
#BeElite
Drilled one of my 13u players during bp today after I thought he had a buzzer on him. Turned out to just be my wife sending me divorce papers in the middle of practice. Good thing concussions are just a mindset.
#BeElite
Refused to let one of my 13u players drink water for the rest of practice after failing to execute a hit and run yesterday. You should have thought about how thirsty you were going to be when you hung our runner out to dry at 2nd Jake.
#BeElite
Day 8 of no baseball:
Made Michael (my adopted son) turn off his PlayStation in the middle of a game of Fortnite just so he can remember what it feels like to not play.
#BeElite
Tired of players complaining about the home workouts I have them on. If you can’t tread against the current of a nearby river for 45-60 mins. everyday to work on hip mobility then you probably shouldn’t be playing 13u baseball Carson.
#BeElite
Fielding errors can be a game changer, that’s why I have my 13u players take ground balls in the parking lot with billiard balls before they take the field. Make the play, keep your fingers.
#BeElite
Lost respect for both candidates tonight. How are you going to take part in a presidential debate and not bring up your max pull down velo once? Unreal. Have some feel.
#BeElite
Just cut Michael (my adopted son) from the team mid practice after he raised his hand and asked for a water break. Go join a sport like swimming if you expect there to be water provided at every practice son.
#BeElite
Made one of my 13u players run extra at practice after finding a vape in his baseball bag. If you want to give your lungs a workout you can run centerfields in front of all your friends.
#BeElite
Tired of my 13u team getting banned from tournaments. Yes my players drink Coors Light after winning the championship game. The big leaguers do it every postseason. Let the kids play. Prohibition ended in 1933.
#BeElite
Added hand-to-hand combat to the practice plan for today in honor of Veterans Day. Your great-grandpa didn’t humble a bunch of Germans in the 1940s so you could run rule a team then lose the post game fight in the parking lot.
#BeElite
Tired of my team being kicked out of 13u tournaments. Yes my players dip, so do the big leaguers. Tobacco is a plant, it comes from the earth, it’s a vegetable. THINGS NEED TO CHANGE!!!
#BeElite
So when the
@Rangers
win the World Series they can celebrate with champagne but when I run rule a team in the championship game and hand my 13 year old son a Busch Light I’m asked to leave the complex?? Things need to change.
#BeElite
