@MLB Managers used to be the BOSS! On the rare occasion a player dogged it the Managers of the past would make sure everyone in that dugout knew it was unacceptable! That doesn’t seem to be the case anymore. We see players not hustling a lot more often today and it drives us…
What happened to the catching position? Well…the non baseball people who decided that trying to steal strikes was more important than controlling the running game and blocking the ball. And we see the results on a nightly basis. And it’s ugly! #shegone @notgaetti @BobFile…
"Blanca" has been picking blackberries for 25 yrs on CAs Central Coast. "I'm currently thinning the rows so the plant produces more berries. We pick 6 hrs/day and then do this thinning 2-3hrs/day. It will make it easier to harvest the fruit the next day. #WeFeedYou
Pitching 101 (cont'd ...) Curt Schilling K of Barry Bonds (2002) Similar theory noted w/CH by @ROXSystem below, CS threw 5 fastballs away to BB, but 2 were low-leverage, "loose" FBs that were likely -3 MPH off where CS sat, making 3 strikes look like +5 MPH vs. loose FBs. Not…
Pitching 101: Your fastball is relative. If you throw 96mph with a change up like this, your 96mph fastball just jumped up to 99mph. Those who know, KNOW! Do we teach velocity? Yes, within reason. Do we teach pitchability? OF COURSE WE DO!!! Message!!! #ROXSystem #Pitching101

They were built different then. Rest in peace, John Stearns. 🙏🏻✝️🧡💙
MEN! By the way, that catcher was none other than “Bad Dude” John Stearns, my former catching coach with the Mets. An absolute savage of a man. “Raf! Dave Parker knocked me into the on deck circle. He had a broken jaw. Me? I’m in the line up the next day.” Ufff!!! #LGM #ROXSystem
LEGEND.
🇺🇸 In America, 75% of men give all their money to their ex-wives after divorce and get a monthly kick in the balls. #PaQueSeCasan #ROXstradamus

That’s cute. SUPER MOBILE. #OneKneeTrash is #OneKneeTrash !!
The Mets adjusted the positioning of Francisco Alvarez's back foot while he was in Triple-A to help make him more mobile. (Via: @SNYtv)
When it’s not even August and you’ve run your starting pitching and bullpen into the ground. #Leverage #Length #Coverage #Bulk
Dave Roberts is all of us watching this disaster
That’s kinda what happens when you run your bullpen and your so-called closer into the ground by July. You hate to see players get injured, but RELIEVERS ARE PEOPLE TOO. Humans, not robots. By the way, didn’t the Dodgers just spend $1B on starting pitching?! #Leverage
Tanner Scott left tonight's game early after this pitch.
Winners win!!!
David Wells paid a $2,500 fine for wearing Babe Ruth's original Yankee cap. He bought the cap for $35,000, was told he couldn't wear it in a game, and did it anyway. He sold it 13 years later at an auction for $535,000.
Seems like this would be a priority in pitching development. Develop off speed so FB can play higher. Might prevent some arm injuries?
