Probably unpopular opinion but I’m gonna miss Ian Happ. A decade with the Cubs is rare. He has centered his life around this team. Just seems like a good dude that loved Chicago

Coming from a Cubs fan, this umpire should be held accountable.
The sequence of these events is ridiculous.
If you can't separate your emotions from your responsibilities it's pretty hard to validate your position/role.
I’ve never seen anything like this…
This ump stopped the game & made Cardinals rookie Hancel Rincon straighten his hat, saying nobody will wear it like that on his field. Quickly followed up by the worst revenge call I’ve ever seen.
Suspend him now @MLB

Coach Joel Sato has spent more than 50 years around Bingham High School Baseball and gives a perspective that very few people in the game can match.
In this episode of Clearing The Bases, Coach Sato talks about how baseball has changed, how parents have changed, what travel baseball has done to development, why young players need patience, and why coaches sometimes need to simply get out of the way.
We also dive into:
⚾️Why development has to come before rankings and status
⚾️The problem with comparing young players
⚾️Why fundamentals and baseball IQ are being overlooked
⚾️The importance of practicing an entire program together
⚾️Building culture in the classroom—not just on the field
⚾️The mental side of the game
⚾️Why relationships are the foundation of great coaching
⚾️And why the true measure of a coach’s success shows up years after the final game
One of my favorite messages from this conversation:
Coach the kid you have—not the player adults are trying to turn him into.
This is a conversation about baseball, but even more than that, it’s about teaching, mentoring, developing young men, and leaving the game better than you found it.

Anthony Rizzo gets Michael Busch's home run ball, then raises Anthony Jr. with ball! Truly insane, make-believe type stuff.

As an AD, remind your athletes as we head into preseason practice, here are a few reminders that will help make this season a successful one.
Coaches make decisions based on what they believe is best for the team. Trust the process, even when you don’t always understand every decision.
Being held accountable is a privilege. It means your coaches believe in your potential and are investing in your growth. Being coached means they see something in you worth developing.
Learn from both winning and losing. Success builds confidence, and adversity builds character. Both are valuable teachers.
Be a great teammate. Encourage others, celebrate their success, and put the team ahead of yourself.
The work you put in this summer will reveal itself this fall. There are no shortcuts. Preparation always shows.
Learn to struggle well. Every athlete faces challenges. How you respond to adversity will define you more than any scoreboard.
Never quit on your teammates. They are counting on your commitment, effort, and attitude every single day.
Give your best effort daily. You can control your attitude, your work ethic, and how you compete.
Finally, remember this is your season, not your parents’ season. Take ownership of your experience, embrace the challenges, and make the most of every opportunity.
Have a great season, compete with pride, and represent your school with character, class, and commitment.
