The only thing that would sway my vote this election is six text messages from an unidentified number during my work day.

Pat Murphy says he still wasn’t a good coach even after winning at Notre Dame and going to the College World Series at Arizona State because he was still making it about him instead of the players
“You know, when you get to a spot in life when you’re a little bit older, you start to make it not about you. When I dropped my ego, which took a while, I wasn’t a good coach at Notre Dame. Even though we were winning games, I still wasn’t good. I didn’t know baseball, for one, and it was about me a little bit at the end.”
“I started the right way. I loved Notre Dame, and I didn’t want to embarrass the university. I was working for $7,000 a year. I just wanted to be good and not embarrass them. We had a lot of success, but then it became about me.”
“And then I got to ASU, and it became about me again. We won a lot and went to the World Series a lot, but I just wasn’t good. It took getting knocked on my ass a little bit. I had that NCAA thing, which was total bull, but it woke me up. My kids made a difference in my life, and you start to realize it ain’t about you. Honestly, it’s not about me.”
“And whenever I started focusing on that, we came into last year and everything wrong happens. We trade Corbin. Woody’s out for the year. Devin’s out. We cut the budget $30 million. We’re going to suck. And again, I just kept saying, ‘It’s not about me. Make it about that young energy.’ And we had these young guys go out and make me look good. Hungry players, you remember when you guys were hungry in your career? Hungry players make the manager look good.”
“And that’s exactly what happened. Now I got the credit for it. I’m still under construction. I’m not great. There are so many areas I suck in. But then you’re trying to find staff members to help you, trying to realize what you suck at.”
“But the most important thing is love the player. When you really find the good in that dude, that’s it. The guy that’s hardest to love needs love the most. I’m at a point in life where it’s about them. And if you keep it about them…”

Rotational medicine ball throw velocity explained 38% of the variance in pitching velocity in 35 Division III baseball players.
The standing broad jump and the lateral to medial jump didn't show a significant relationship with pitching velocity in the same group.
Rotational med ball velocity is one of the power tests we use with pitchers, and a retest that helps us track velocity and power potential.

“So the best stance, at all times, is: Can I catch it? Present it? Block it? Throw it? In that order.” @theFortMcKenry

Love this, chandler simpson getting his pre pitch dialed in during BP. So many players neglect these reps during BP because of the focus. Watch his eyes and body move in the direction the ball is hit. It’s the little things.

William Contreras had 8 blocks/picks with runners in scoring position in last night's win.
6 of them were in the 9th.
Preventing 90' was a key to this win.

The Relentless Pursuit of Better is strictly about getting better results. Results - and nothing else.
This WeckMethod “Signature Setup” gives us a faster jump to Second Base than a 50/50 stance. (And we can get back to First Base faster too).
A 50/50 stance requires a change of weight - whereas this is instant transmission - in both directions.
And this REQUIRES a Double Down Pulse action with the arms - what good athletes already do naturally - pays to KNOW and train it.
To deny it benefits no one.
@Coach_KGraber & @rajai11davis are “Results Rule” individuals. They are the key guys bringing this to the game of baseball.
I discovered another development (advantage) today to make it even faster (watch at the end to see).
FYI. My work is not intended to offend anyone. It is only about maximizing results.
The aversion of so many to innovation should be troubling to everyone.
Honest scrutiny is always welcome. Put it to the fire and see what remains.
Biomechanical advantage is only a good thing.
I share because I care.

Swing path tracking for Junior Caminero's double in ALCS Game 4
81.8 mph bat speed with a tilt of only 19° (aka, extremely flat)
He turned on a 98 mph high fastball so fast that he hit it 16" out in front of the plate

Tyler Walls with textbook push bunt. He shuffles up in the box to create a wider lane to bunt(more fair territory ) & then drop steps before stepping towards the second baseman. The goal is to firmly bunt the ball past the LHP. It’s basically a running sac bunt. Herrin was not going to beat him to the base. His only option was to reach out & tag him from behind.

Check out the Yankees bunt defense compared to the Dodgers.
Jazz Chisholm and Kiké Hernandez start in the exact same spot.
Yet when Kiké spots the bunt, he sprints to first to get the out while Jazz just wanders around aimlessly and the runner reaches.
Losing on the margins.

We will never see Mike Vasil in the dugout for 162 again.
We will never see this group of guys again.
We will never see the energy like we did this year again.
We will never see Colson Montgomery have this weird of a season again.
We will never the excitement of Murakami debut again.
We will never see Quero walk off vs Cubs again.
We will never see Davis Martin first half of 2026 again.
We will never see the cinderella run of this team again.
We will never see Braden Montgomery walk off in his rookie debut again.
We will never see this Randal Grichuk again.
This list goes on and on. And that’s the sad part of all of this.
