.@RaysBaseball pitching coach Kyle Snyder tells @MelanieLynneN about his pitching philosophy and the unique ways he builds a relationship with his pitching staff.
This is crazy. I remember watching this episode last year. He wasn’t kidding at all😂

“They may have a bunch of Hall of Famers, but we have a bunch of gamers. And the gamers won this week.”
@Brewers manager Pat Murphy after his team swept the Dodgers
“They got a bunch of hall of famers. We got a bunch of gamers.”
That will live forever as one of the coldest quotes in sports history🥶💪

Lower stress AND higher velocity??🤯
Listen to Eugene talk about one of the studies done in a biomechanics lab seeing how a simple cue changed the velocity and stress on the arm🗣️
#the108way
A Colorado woman got a theft summons for a $25 porch package because Flock cameras showed her Rivian driving through the area.
The cop told her he was “100% sure,” refused to look at her own camera/GPS proof she was somewhere else getting fitted for a dress, and only dropped it later.
She’s now suing Flock, the towns, and the officers for warrantless mass surveillance.
This is the surveillance state in action—anyone can be targeted on a plate hit with zero probable cause.

You mean to tell me creating a challenging training environment is beneficial??
#Dodgers Mookie Betts is standing well in front of home plate to take BP. Getting ready for 105?
Gets called up to the show. And continues to compete with his positive fun energy. Plays the game at the highest level and enjoys it like he is still a kid. Now he gets to start Game 1 Wild Card vs the Yankees in the Bronx🔥🔥

David Wright explains how to identify a selfish teammate
“To me, that’s what shows everybody what you’re made of. Anybody can smile and have a good time and enjoy the game when things are going their way and you’re having success.”
“But it takes a special person to be a good teammate. To be the first one to high-five the guy when they do something good, even though you’ve had three strikeouts that game.”
“What face do you put on in the locker room when you got four hits and the team lost compared to when you went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts and the team won? Happy-hit guy. Happy-hit guy is a term that we use to this day.”
“I think that differentiates between the true great teammates and the winners and the guys that are out there trying to do it for themselves. It’s just dealing with failures, dealing with adversity, and it’s a small sample size of what you’re going to get in real life.”
Bartolo will always be one of the goats. I watched this live on tv. That was a BP fastball for the greater good. This was a special moment to respect a legend. RIP Jose Fernandez
Dee Gordon stepped into the box wearing José Fernández’s No. 16, just 24 hours after his teammate and close friend had passed away.
Then he did something nobody will ever forget.
Gordon hit his first home run of the 2016 season — and broke down in tears after rounding the bases.
That wasn’t just a home run.
That was grief, love and baseball all wrapped into one unforgettable moment. 💙

Maxx Crosby (@CrosbyMaxx) shares the framework that changed how he approaches his career and his life.
"One of the greatest coaches I've ever been around is Rob Marinelli and Rich Bisaccia. They helped me grow as a person and as a player probably more than anybody I've ever been around in the NFL."
They taught him the microscope and the telescope.
"The microscope is the day-to-day. That's the most important. Over 90% of the time, you're focused on the microscope."
"The telescope is the future - 2 to 3 years from now. What's your ultimate goal? What do you see yourself becoming? How am I gonna get to that point?"
"You just peek at that from time to time. You think about it at night a little bit, you think about it in the morning, think about it after a workout. Like, 'That's why I did that. That's why I push myself 'cause I'm getting to that.'"
"But majority of the time, I'm in the microscope."
The telescope gives you direction. The microscope gives you progress.
Then he connected it to something deeper:
"That's another big thing I learned in sobriety. It's cliché, but at the end of the day, it's how I live my life. One day at a time. All that matters is being here and being where my feet are."
"I'm not worried about the future. I'm not worried about the past. I'm just worried about right now."
Don't get caught up in the past or worry about the future because the present moment is the only place where we can truly make a difference.
"I've learned and realized that I can be so much more productive just by being present instead of worrying about, 'Oh shit, where do I go next?' Just be where you're at."
90% microscope. 10% telescope.
It comes down to focus and where we focus that energy.
