.@JoeyVotto and how he honed his hitting by studying Ted Williams
Give this a listen

Today, we will dedicate our account to @JoeyVotto
Enjoy
Joey Votto refuses to leave the batter's box versus Derek Lowe. The human pitch clock many years before it got implemented. Six pitches in 70 seconds. Funny

I'll be on Sports Talk with @LanceMcAlister, who has had a pacemaker much longer than me, after the 7:30 p.m. news tonight on 700 WLW to talk about my near-death experience. In honor of Lance, who is great at coming up with themes for his show, here are the top three heart-stopping Cincinnati sports moments I've witnessed in person: 1. Ron Robinson's near-perfect game in 1988; 2. Nick Van Exel's buzzer-beater vs. UAB in 1993; and 3. Glenn Bragg's catch vs. the Pirates in Game 6 of the NLCS in 1990. Honorable mention: Fan Greg Gall stealing the ball from Brett Favre to help the Bengals win a game in 2005.

Small wins become powerful when they are repeated. People abandon useful actions because the first improvement feels too small. Try this today: Choose one tiny improvement. Complete it before adding more. Repeat it long enough to compound. Use the cue: ONE PERCENT. Create

When George Brett talks hitting everyone should listen!
Notice that when he demonstrates what happens when you try to hit the ball far.
He inadvertently imitates @Teacherman1986 back shoulder collapse.
Priceless!

Story by Mark Grace....
Rick Sutcliffe gave up back-to-back home run`s in Cincinnati.
And in Cincinnati, they shoot off fireworks after a Red hits a home run.
Sutcliffe was pretty intense on the day he pitched.
So Eric Davis takes him deep and Paul O'Neill takes him deep right after that.
So Sutcliffe is all mad, and pitching coach Billy Connors comes out to the mound and Sutcliffe yells at him:
"I know I gave up back-to-back home runs, but get your ass back in the dugout and tell Zimmer to settle down too!"
Billy Connors looks at him and says:
"I know you have everything under control, Rick.
I just wanted to give that guy running the fireworks a little more time to reload."
With apologies to Mr. Sutcliffe, my favorite baseball story!

“Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast.” One of the most powerful principles from Navy SEAL training. When pressure rises… Most people panic and speed up emotionally. Elite performers do the opposite. They slow down mentally. Because calm creates clarity. And clarity creates

RIP to the incredible Skip Bertman
My favorite speech of his:
The importance of “All-In”

There’s nothing more perfect than a baseball field. Skip Bertman explains it better than anyone else will.
Rest in peace, coach

Nah, not a different animal. The human body doesn't work that way. Max effort in a bad delivery = injury, always has and always will. Just a matter of time. Go look at his pre-throw and in between routines. He's a monster, works his ASS OFF, if he did all that and dialed it back AND had actual FINISH in his delivery he'd be working with that upper 90s velocity, consistently, commanding the ball FAR batter (not control, command) and healthier imo. The act of throwing a baseball is in no way natural, and to reduce injury potential it's about mechanics and effort. That's of course talking about professional pitchers. Who, most, have different collagen than every other human being. Their bodies don't break down like "normal" people who do unnatural things.
I believe you are 100% correct on most everything but I honestly think Skenes is a different animal. Not many pitchers can jump straight to the major leagues and maintain the numbers he was putting up. I really think it’s a matter of adjusting again like the hitters have adjusted to him. Every pitcher has a bad run. Unless I’ve missed something they aren’t saying he’s hurt are they? I hope not.
