- For the 1st time ever, there are 29 MLB teams wishing they could face Jose Fernandez tomorrow. That smile will be missed for a long time.
- Belichick spent 15 years as an assistant before getting his first head coaching job. Saban spent 17 years and Pete Carroll spent 21 years as assistants before getting their first HC jobs. All three have been fired in their careers. Three of the best to ever do it. Perspective
- PSA. When your wife throws you a pitch to reveal the gender of your baby....SWING. That is not the time to control the zone.
- Great story this morning about Jeter and Rivera being demoted to the minors-Jeter hitting .234 and Rivera with a 10.20 ERA. They ate together in a Bennigan’s trying to deal with the reality of what just happened. Adversity spares nobody. Greatness is born from our response to it.
- When his players failed to practice in a way that met the standards of UCLA Basketball, he simply turned off the lights of the gym and said, “Gentlemen, practice is over.” They had lost their opportunity to get better that day, which to Wooden, was the highest form of punishment.
- Pitchers-watch BP today. Watch how hard it is, how frustrated they get, how many outs they make. Then ask yourself, “Is my fear on the mound based on facts or my imagination?” The game is designed for you to win. It’s 9 on 1. The advantage is always yours unless you are afraid.
- “You don’t work the way that I have worked for 20 years and worry about stepping on the foul lines.” - Tony Gwynn Preparation is always better than superstition.
- I may never again be able to say “that was the worst call I’ve ever seen”. This will be impossible to beat.worst umpire call ever
00:00 - Just a friendly reminder. Coaching is really hard. This reminds me of the fact that it took Wooden 18 years to win his first NCAA Championship. It’s not where you start, it’s where you finish. Just keep getting better. Baby steps count.On This Date: 23 years ago, the Browns fired Bill Belichick.
- Shout out to Ben Van Houten, our team photographer. The hardest working Mariner who has taken most of the iconic Mariners photos you’ve ever seen. Nobody does their job better or takes more pride in their performance. Today is the day the photographer gets his photo taken! ⚾️📸
- How badly do you want something? How long are you willing to work without a guarantee? After 10 years of professional baseball, 3 organizations, Indy ball, and a missed COVID season Dillon Thomas is a big leaguer. Through it all he kept smiling and bringing his positive energy.
- Bruce Bochy has managed from 1995-2019. Today, his record as a manager is 1995-2019. More than just a cool coincidence, understand he has lost more than he has won. And he is going to the HOF. Baseball is very hard. Nobody is above the struggle..it’s not optional. Deal with it.
- Watching Cal win the HR derby with his dad, brother, and teammates shows the world exactly who he is - a world-class competitor who hasn’t forgotten where he came from and is loved by his teammates. Congrats to Cal and the Raleigh family. Grateful that you are a Mariner. 🔱
