So bizarre to me that we make high school students pay money to watch their peers play a sport. Want to build a better school community and culture? Make it free for students.

Prom tonight. Scariest night of the year for a baseball coach.

Backwards hat, tats, sleeveless shirt. Dee Gordon and the @Mariners are ruining the game. No class! Oh wait, they did this before? Griffey and Buhner were involved? And the game of baseball didn’t die? Stop being old & grumpy. Turn ahead the clock night isn’t ruining baseball.

The costs of leadership: 1. You will have to make hard decisions that negatively affect people you care about. 2. You will be disliked, despite your best attempt to do the best for the most. 3. You will be misunderstood and won’t always have the opportunity to defend yourself.

Goldy’s radio calls of the Julio Rodriguez game-tying HR (25) and Eugenio Suarez walk-off HR (30) in the bottom of the 9th against Atlanta. #Mariners win No. 79 for a tie in the AL Wild Card! #SundaySwings

My job as a teacher and coach has zero to do with influencing kids to any side of the political aisle. They should graduate with no idea what I believe about politics.

“Hey my freshman son is interested in coming out for baseball. He’s never played before. What can we do to get him ready for tryouts?” I get this email 2-3 times every year. And it always make me sad, because baseball is nearly impossible to start at such a late age.

If you’re ever a parent of a baseball player, a great idea is to NOT yell something like, “Come on, we gotta have that!” when one of his teammates makes a defensive error. The game knows, and your son will be next.

A freshman took his time packing up after hitting last night - so that only the two of us were left in the gym - to tell me he plans to make our varsity team this year (not in an arrogant or cocky way, just a simple explanation that he has big goals for himself). Fire me up!

Hard to explain to someone who doesn’t coach at the high school level, how much you have to deal with (assuming you want to run a respectable program) at the high school level. It’s a nonstop gig.

If HS baseball coaches’ job descriptions were honest: 1) Fundraising 2) Fieldwork 3) Budgets 4) Chasing down uniforms 5) Psychiatrist 6) Grade & attendance checks 7) Parent issues 8) Coach issues 9) Teaching kids how to use shelves 10) Coaching a little baseball Miss anything?

There’s something really special about a high school team with parents who go to the games and cheer on ALL of the players, who don’t get on the umpires, and who even show up for games an hour+ away when they know their kid might not even play.
