So
@Stars17Thompson
won our last game. At Stars Stadium in Hamtramck. Fittingly. Won my last game too. 47 years in the game. Perfect way to exit. To the parents the coaches my family and most importantly the boys. You’ve found a special place forever in my heart! 💯❤️⭐️✌🏼BT

@DMetroStars
Two of my brightest and best made their college debuts today. Sure it’s ‘Fall Ball’ but they lit it up!
@jack10cats
struck the side out and
@nathanmcd_17
hits a triple on the first pitch he saw. Two of my best ever.
@MottCCBaseball
@MiSoxConnect

Getting old. Coached a long time. I’m flipping the script on amateur baseball. No more EV no more analytics. No more player rankings. Have fun. Play the game your way boys. Play with heart and soul. Rest takes care of itself.

@Stars17Thompson
Another Bear signing! Great job
@ManzellaAidan

@MottCCBaseball
Very very bitter sweet day for me.
@ConnorGrant023

@DMetroStars
due to having hand surgery. Great player. Better man. Best Catcher I’ve ever coached. Thank you Connor it was indeed an honor.
@AlmaScotsBSB
Don’t ever sleep on a dude like
@EthanHamby5
dude has heart balls and the will to win. He led the upset for Dakota over Chip Valley! Congrats Ethan ya never quit and believed in your team and yourself!
Never had the opportunity to coach him but I’ve seen
@k_ray2626
play a lot. This dude is a tremendous ball player. Congrats on a great career! Good luck at Wayne State! You play the game the right way son!
Updated roster for the 18u
@DMetroStars
sure people will say geez that’s a lot of players. Yup it is for sure. But only a silly Coach wouldn’t add dudes to an already roster of dudes. Just makes our team damn stronger. This team checks their egos at the door.

@BSB_Wolverine
Whether they’re right on some points or not(they are) it’s pretty clear Harbaugh has rented so much space in Valenti and
@RicoBeard
head that he could build a condo.
Trying real hard I mean REAL hard to come up with a reason not to play for the
@Mid_Baseball
Lakers and
@PickenBaseball
if you’re lucky enough to do so. Hmmmm for some reason I just can’t. Laker Nation! LFG 🔷⚪️
I’m not big on giving shout outs to individual players.
@Stars17Thompson
win as a team but I would be remised if I didn’t recognize
@darren_pagel
today. In 30 years I’ve never seen a kid make plays in LF like Pags did today. He was the human highlight Good job Pags!
@DMetroStars
Thank you
@Mid_Baseball
damn you guys are good. It was fun playing at Jimmy Johns today. You’re gonna be a problem for the rest of JUCO teams this year. A REAL problem. I can say it you can’t. So damn good. And ya got one hell of a coach in
@PickenBaseball
The so called best teams rely on pure talent. I disagree. The best TEAMS rely on every damn player on the squad because they have pure talent but also possess a TEAM MENTALITY! Not looking for the best players. Looking for the right players. There IS a difference
@DMetroStars
A tribute to a legend.
@NolanMoore05
ya went above and beyond for your team. Someday hopefully no time soon you’re gonna be one HELLUVA Coach! Congrats kid.
I think the 80’s and 90’s style of Coaching should stay in the past. We as Coaches need to evolve and adapt to what gets the most out of our players. A good good question to ask is would you as a player want to play for you as a Coach?

Reppin’
@AlmaScotsBSB

@bobwojnowski
Can we just please have Stoney and Wojo back on the drive time show PLEASE!!!!
@stoney16
add Jansen too if needed he’s level headed and pragmatic as well. Can’t take Valenti Rico and their muppets.
Congratulations to
@darren_pagel
on his commitment to
@CUAABaseball
Pags is one of my all time favorite players. Few work harder. Boyhood dreams really do come true. In this case there wasn’t any doubt
@lever20
I want to thank
@coachjcrain
and
@AlmaScotsBSB
for the amazing visit today. I enjoyed everyone I met and talked to today. Thank you for the amazing time.
@LpRails18
Great career
@EthanHamby5
at Dakota. You cemented yourself as a legend there. You’re a great QB who’s gonna be even better in College! All class kid. All class!

@Stars17Thompson
as we lost to Ohio Elite 12-4 in the Final 4 at MSU. Ohio Elite is a bone crushing hitting team. Wow! Still so proud of my boys. They left it all out there. I’d ride and die with them every day! I love them all very much!

Not the outcome we were looking for, but we look forward to the weekend!!

This commitment is special to me. Known Luke a long time. The dude has always had his priorities in order. Tireless worker on and off the diamond. More importantly just a great man. Luke I’m so proud and happy for you! The best is yet to come! 💯❤️⭐️
Thank you for this weekend
@JayhawkBSB

@DMetroStars
So cool watching two of my best players I’ve ever coached in
@aaron_dolney
and
@Zach_Fruit
be the battery for EMU today as EMU knocked off WMU. Zach was electric sitting 95 and AD gunning runners down. These two today made me believe coaching all these years was worth it!
I’d like to say something about
@J_Burch12
from
@MottCCBaseball
not 100 healthy yet but he went out there and busted his ass. He’s a Waterford Dude. So am I. Us Waterford Dudes are tough and do anything to help our ballclub. Proud of ya Burchie. Get healthy and Ball out my man
Greatest single season turnaround I’ve ever seen a College program make. Coach
@PickenBaseball
should be up for National Coach of the Year! Congrats Lakers!
You won’t see him at a PBR event and he won’t be announcing his commitment 3 years from now but he’s going to be a part of a team and that’s all that he cares about. As a parent who heard about all the things he’d never do - this is what it’s all about. Go have some fun kid! 💙⚾️
Excited to announce I will be helping out as an Assistant Baseball Coach for Oakland University starting next week. Excited about the opportunity and look forward to contributing to a great program.
#WEARtheBEAR
One of my All Time favorites. Never had a dude with a work ethic on the diamond or in life like JJ. So proud of you JJ! Sky’s the limit! I luv ya very much! 💯❤️⭐️ Coach
