I know that people think @NAIABall isn’t a high level of baseball. However I just watched two number ones dual it out this afternoon. One guy sat 90-93 and the other 91-95! There is some really great baseball in the NAIA!

Reason #1 why I rarely send our pitchers to summer ball. I asked a coach to pitch our guy in relief for at most 60 pitches an outing. Jumped online this morning to see that he started and threw 100 pitches. Already told our guy to be smarter but coaches let’s have some feel.

We may or may not have everyone beat...when we throw the 1st pitch today it will end a 667 day drought of playing a home game on our own field. Between field construction & COVID we last played at home on April 27, 2019. #outwiththeoldinwiththenew

These signs are out at our field everyday. Today when I went 2 lock up I found trash in the rubber/sand bin & I found gum, seeds & dip on our field. This is the exact reason we recruit from a select group of travel ball teams. We want kids who pay attention & do the right stuff.

I am convinced that strike throwers at higher levels either... A. Played wiffle ball as a kid & had a strike zone which was a lawn chair. B. Threw in the backyard to their dad, would bounce a FB that hit him in the shins and then get chewed out for it! B made you tougher!

Too many student athletes leave a school after only being there a semester b/c it’s 2 hard, not fun or more work than they thought. If you quit when it’s uncomfortable it sets up the ability to quit when life is hard… ie your job, parenting, being a spouse…etc…GRIT MATTERS!

Dear @NCAACWS & @NAIABall , We must change the new HBP rule! Pitchers who slop up breaking balls & hit batters w/ shanked FBs shouldn’t b rewarded a strike when a hitter turns his back to it like he has always done. STOP REWARDING TRASH PITCHES! Thanks from every coach in the US!

Dear @NAIABall can we please go to a true RPI rankings system. If we could agree on this as coaches it would take a ton of headache out of the rankings. It would promote playing the toughest schedule possible if you want to set yourself up for an at large bid.

I’m a pitching guy but I do love reading hitting Twitter. Thought…People dog teams that bunt & on the flip side dog teams that live off the long ball. Does it matter which method you choose as long as you’re winning? Aren’t Ws the ultimate goal? There are multiple ways to win!

Spicy thought 🤔: There are too many “facility pitchers”guys who go & get lesson after lesson but can’t pitch. Can’t hold runners, 1.5+ to the plate, can’t control the game w/ tempo & no pitch ability, they just throw hard. Learn how to pitch, don’t just be a thrower!

Our dudes broke so many records we needed two tweets for it! Proud of this group and the precedent they have set for winning at a high level!

7 years with the best lady in the world! You love Jesus, our kids and are the greatest friend I could ask for. Love spending life with you! P.S. I’m still bitter you wouldn’t walk out of our wedding ceremony to, I am a Real American!

Following Jesus doesn’t guarantee an easy life in fact it guarantees us trials & hardships. However they are all worth it when we know what the end of the race holds for us. Follow Jesus, He is good!

Loyalty is a precious trait and yet it is very seldom practiced anymore.

Glad to have a Sunday off! I’ve said it before I despise playing on Sundays. We talk about mental health for SAs yet we nvr truly give them a day off. Yes, Mondays have no practice, but they still have class and HW. I know ppl think I’m crazy but Sundays should always be off!

I dislike playing on Sundays because I can’t go to church w/ my wife. However, today I was able to squeeze in serving at kids worship. The faith & love that those 3-6 year olds have for Jesus fills me up. It is our job as older believers in Jesus to disciple the next generation!

Took a little hike with the girls today. I look forward to Canada every summer to slow down, spend time with family and recharge. I love these times, they are still young enough that they always want to be with me 😂 I know one day that will change.

Pitchers got in some work today...if you want to win in tough weather conditions (wind, snow, cold, rain), you have to practice in the tough weather conditions.

What I wouldn’t do for a phone call with my dad after a tough day at the field. Even at my age now he would still let me have it when it wasn’t good enough. I appreciate those times because he made me a tougher, meaner & more resilient competitor. #missyoudad

MEN… It’s good to love Jesus! It’s good to love your wife & sacrifice everything for her. It’s good to be a dad who is present at home, one who sacrifices for your kids & loves them like Jesus loves us! Finally it’s good to lead, work hard & be the men we are called to be!

This little man had the time of his life! He got his Bo Bichette bobblehead, nachos and Bostons CF Romy Gonzalez even tossed him a ball in between innings. Even though his Jays loss it was a big success for him!

Putting the finishing touches on the fall practice plans! If you aren’t planning practice well in advance, how do you ever expect to give your guys a chance to succeed? Development takes planning.

I guess I’ll jump on the train of posting edges. We had a jungle when we arrived in West Texas. ⁦ @JoshLarrinaj ⁩ is the man! He busted his tail over the past week and dug all the sod up by hand! That dude put some serious work in to make it look this good!

Scraped ice off the windshield w/ this. I’ve kept this in my wallet as a reminder of where I’ve been & sacrifices made. My wife & I lived on food stamps w/ 2-kids just trying to make it in coaching. For all you young guys don’t give up when it’s hard, keep pushing for your break!

Winning is hard. It requires elite detail in every day preparation. Then the preparation must be carried out in unwavering aggression, with precise focus on executing your job. If you’re unwilling to put the time, effort & detail into every day prep don’t expect to win.
