Hearing about recruiting services charging $2k-$5k and sending out mass emails starting with “dear coach, I’m interested in your program,” makes me sick. Stop wasting your money!
I am so excited to be joining the Detroit Tigers organization! I’m grateful for my time with the Los Angeles Dodgers and for all the amazing people I got to work alongside. I can’t wait to get to work!
Top Gun is on. My wife asked, “are you planning on saying every word of the entire movie?” How do I politely answer such an obvious question and remain married?
Serious question. I've seen more than one 2024 HS graduate today send the college commitment tweet. But D1 schools haven't been out recruiting in almost a year. So the offers are based on what players did as 7th/8th graders?? Is that accurate or am I mistaken?
Safe enough for kids to play, scouts can watch, and parents can be at the games. But not division one schools because they’re a higher risk? Gotcha. NCAA on top of things as usual with their logic.
Since the knee down catching/throwing thing is such a thing, this postseason base stealers are 24-24. Of those, 7 thrown from a KD, 7 thrown from a traditional stance, 5 were not thrown from the KD, and 5 no throw from traditional stance. Maybe it’s not the catchers🤷🏻♂️
BREAKING NEWS! Please join us in welcoming Tony Cappuccilli to the Whitecaps as our new manager! As the 15th manager in our 30-year history, Cappuccilli arrives with vast coaching experience, having spent the past two seasons as the bench coach for the Toledo

I’m currently at a local park, doing my weighted balls to get my arm in shape to throw bp. A guy pushing a stroller asked if I was trying to lose weight. Apparently he thinks throwing weighted balls will help with the bod. He also recommended keto. Thanks guy.
It seems like it would be more productive to put out your own content to help players get better, than it is to mock coaches who release content based on their beliefs/research, just because you disagree with them. I may be wrong though.
It’s not just a hashtag! Never forget the feeling we had that morning as we watched in anger, sadness and fear. Never forget the heroes that ran in while others ran out. Never forget the pride we felt standing for our flag and National Anthem after that day

I love this! For all the coaches who want to lead through intimidation and instilling fear in players. You’re on the same team and you have the same goals. It’s ok to let your players enjoy playing for you.
The last time we got to sit down with Tommy he told us something that will always stick with me. “When you put this uniform on you wear it with pride and dignity.” No one epitomized that more than him. Rest In Peace Tommy!
Get rid of the D1 or bust mentality. Good baseball exists at all levels and if you can play, scouts will see you regardless of level! Most D1 schools don’t have a resume anywhere close to what Chapman does.
Chapman Baseball - By the Numbers:
96 - All Region Awards
72 - Players into Pro Ball
45 - All Americans
31 - Top 10 Round draft picks

Just finished my real estate class! Only took 4 months to complete 90 hours. Now just have to pass the tests, which if history repeats itself from all the other tests I’ve ever taken, I have zero chance!
I have no idea what’s going on in DC because I’m not paying attention to it. But I see Democrats blaming Republicans and Republicans blaming Democrats. You’re both right and you’re both wrong. Chill and have some whiskey🇺🇸🥃
As a baseball community we are capable of doing remarkable things. Let's get together to support our friend in her most trying time.Please consider donating to the GoFundMe set up to assist

offset her costs in her fight against breast cancer!
What an incredibly valuable presentation from
@16RobCooper
today. The humility, vulnerability and care for his players was amazing. Tons of great lessons coming out of his talk!
Awesome that MLB is announcing the Gold Glove Awards right now. Like nothing else is going on tonight. About as much feel as pulling a guy in the 7th inning of the clinching game of the WS bc of a test taken hours earlier which already subjected everyone around him to Covid...

skipper Tony Cappuccilli is a big coffee guy and we had a good little chat about it today at media day lol
Just a brutal day today to learn of the passing of two great coaches, Ed Cheff and Jeff Sears. Both incredible men and coaches who impacted countless lives on and off the field.
I think the best part of baseball social media is all the amazing keyboard coaches who could have done a better job in the moment, when you have less information than those in the arena. We’re all lucky to have you!
We are saddened to learn of the passing of former Lobo Garrett Gouldsmith (2018), who passed away unexpectedly this weekend. Our thoughts and prayers go out to former Lobo assistant Buddy Gouldsmith and the entire family during this difficult time.
My sister posted this on her Instagram in honor of my 40th birthday. But I don’t see what’s so funny! We all want to look like celebrities. “Buzz’s girlfriend, woof”
Happy birthday America!! Here’s a throwback to 3 years ago today. This is the day I proposed to this beauty under the fireworks at the Washington monument. (Good luck saying no!) 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Best day of the year. The last three months of the NBA playoffs have finally ended. That means no basketball, no NFL, no hockey (even though it’s cool) Just baseball!! Finally! (And almost college football.)
I hope Matt’s clip goes viral so we can hear all the different opinions of what’s happening here. I firmly believe this is a perfect example of your eyes seeing what they want to see. 100 different people will see this 100 different ways. I’m not picking sides though. 🇨🇭
Seriously though, I don’t know one guy that wouldn’t want to go hang out with Leo and watch Star Wars and run around with light sabers in an empty movie theater.
BREAKING: Leonardo DiCaprio’s ex-girlfriend, Camila Morrone details the “worst date of my life” with the actor.
“He rented out a whole cinema, and made me watch every single ‘STAR WARS’ movie while he ran around with his lightsaber pretending to fight bad guys.”

The vet is next door to Starbucks. She thought she was getting a puppuccino but instead she got a shot. Yes, I feel terrible, so I took her to Starbucks.
What a great night! I was lucky enough to officiate my good friends wedding, catch up with some old Lobo players, and a date night with the Mrs! Congratulations

Always a good day when you get to see a friend on the other side of the field! I would also highly recommend following

Winning a college football game and celebrating with thousands of fans coming onto the field from the stands > winning the organization’s first World Series in 32 years after being around your entire team for the first 7 innings.
I had an incredible time speaking this morning with
@USABDevelops
. What a great group of presenters to learn from and always fun talking with coaches who want to learn! Thanks for having me out today
@CoachBartman

Watching Dodger hitters busting it on the bases when they’re crushing their opponent is really fun to see. What a great example of playing the game the right way. ARod giving them credit for it and being correct about something might be even more amazing!
This is a good example of why I’m not on the bandwagon. I’ve never heard a head coach or manager say “I, me, my” more than this. Pointing fingers at players saying they should be more like you is a bad look.
"They gotta make up in their mind are they in love with this game or in like with it?
@DeionSanders
Success requires more than just showing up; it demands unwavering commitment.
Are you fully committed or just interested in the idea of winning?
