Self Control

Whenever I see a really obese person smoking, I think to myself "no self-control".

Obviously you can't walk away from a meal or have a salad, your appearance tells me such. And you can't not smoke. Which, by the way, is very bad for you. That's why the packs all have a skull & crossbones on them.

You are a mess.

The OG Hitting Trainer

I was thinking back to when I was a kid...and I used to swing 100's of swings a day on my Johnny Bench Batter-Up. Sat in my backyard and I would swing at it forever. Loved making contact and seeing how many times I could spin the ball around the metal pole.

I mention this because I think most kids don't swing enough. That's the main reason I built an are in my garage attic for my boys to hit off a tee.

Gotta swing.

Game Today

12U Team playing with YSSS. I am basically the silent hitting coach after last year's hub-bub. I'm there for YSSS first and foremost. If the other kids want to listen, so be it, you'll be better off. If not...

Where The Hell Have I Been!?

Around.

Just kidding. I am busy. I tweet like a madman. I just say no.

I was in Dallas this week for the J-O-B; flew American Airlines. Only 6.5 hours of delays between the two flights. Sweet.

Boys playing ball. We hit the cages today. Bought some wood bats. Awesome.

Watching Matt Harvey tear it up vs. the Twins right now.

Drinking a beer. I have a new deal. I try new beers whenever I can. I avoid the basic Bud-Coors choices. I'm about to crack open a Shiner Blonde. Ummmm, it's pretty good.

My Fantasy Baseball team is 0-1. I am winning this week. I like my team.

Waiting Over

Ummmm...

Fantasy BB

Buckled down and joined the local fantasy baseball league. Run by the guy who runs the FF league I participate in. It's a keeper league but I got lucky with the availability of a certain TRIPLE CROWN WINNER!!

Here's my highlights:

Miguel Cabrera

Bryce Harper

Yoenis Cespides

Ian Desmond

Manny Machado

Melky Cabrera

Matt Cain

Matt Harvey

Josh Johnson

Jeremy Hellickson

Wade Miley

I have some fill-in-the-blanks guys like Angel Pagan, Gordon Beckham, Ike Davis...some prospects like Mike Olt, Jurrickson Profar, Travis d'Arnaud...and I have to pick up a couple guys on waivers to complete a game day roster.

At least early the strategy is young, strong, fast. Yowza.
