Just because the coach doesn’t play your child doesn’t mean they dislike them. A coach can care deeply about your child, both as a player and person, without agreeing with your assessment of their talent.
Good morning.

This quote sums up James Talarico's deceptive blend of Christianity and politics perfectly.

Case Keenum has been in the NFL since 2012. Until Monday night, his two kids had never seen him play a game.
Not one. Not ever.
Here is what he said before kickoff.
"It means everything. It's incredible because we always say 'Keenum's can do hard things.' So we'll do some hard things tonight. And hopefully I can show them tonight how it's done."
He is 38 years old. He was the third quarterback on the Chicago Bears depth chart.
Caleb Williams was ruled out. Backup Tyson Bagent went into concussion protocol. So the job fell to the guy nobody expected to take another snap in his life.
It had been 1,009 days since Case Keenum started a regular season NFL game. The last one was Christmas Eve of 2023 with the Houston Texans.
His son Kyler was born in November of 2019. His daughter Cadence was born in April of 2021.
Which means Case Keenum has been an NFL quarterback for every single day that either of his children has been alive, and neither one of them had ever seen him play a game. Cadence was two years old the last time he started one.
He arrived at Soldier Field carrying what looked like a paper sack, dressed like a man on his way to a parent teacher conference. The internet had a wonderful time with it. Somebody said his wife must have packed him a lunch.
That wife is Kimberly. The family calls her the logistical ninja, because she is the one who has packed and unpacked their whole life through the Houston Texans, the Rams, the Minnesota Vikings, the Denver Broncos, Washington, the Cleveland Browns, the Buffalo Bills, Houston again, and now the Chicago Bears.
This is also the man who threw for 19,217 yards at Houston, which is still the most in the history of college football, and then went undrafted.
Then the game started.
24 of 34. 247 yards. Two touchdowns. No interceptions. Not sacked one time.
Eight yards to Luther Burden III in the first quarter. Forty one yards to Kalif Raymond in the third. Then in the fourth he kept it himself and walked it in from a yard out.
Three touchdowns from a third string quarterback.
Chicago Bears 27, Philadelphia Eagles 7.
When it ended he walked off hyping up the crowd in the north end zone, and the whole stadium stood up for him.
And then came the part nobody could have written.
Keenum went out to do his postgame interview on the SportsCenter set. His daughter came with him. Five years old, out on that stage next to her dad, waving at a stadium full of Chicago Bears fans who were still standing there cheering for him.
Fourteen years of practice squads and backup jobs and new cities and moving trucks.
He said it himself when he signed here. More than knowing how to get hit, he knows how to get back up.
The first NFL game his kids ever got to watch, their dad won it, and he scored three times doing it.
Keenums can do hard things.

Watch the bait-and-switch:
A) When the Bible is used to advance a “conservative” cause, it’s “evil Christian Nationalism” (that he’s spent his entire campaign decrying) or it’s “forcing your religion on other people” and must be FORECEFULLY DENOUNCED.
But when the Bible is used to advance a progressive cause, aw shucks it’s just me being Christlike, “speaking truth to power”, and seeking “justice” or “compassion.”
His whole campaign is, ”Christian Nationalism for ME, but not for THEE” and hoping you won’t notice.
B) What progressives do is take the commands Jesus gave to INDIVIDUALS and apply them to the GOVERNMENT.
When Christians use words like “caring” or “generous” they mean caring for people and being generous with their own resources.
When progressives use the words “caring” and “generous”, they mean “vote for the government to forcibly take OTHER PEOPLE’S RESOURCES at gunpoint and redistribute it against their will.”
Of course, this *always* backfires because governments do not work like people and churches, so with governments you tends to get more of what you INCENTIVIZE and less of what you PENALIZE.
This is why cities and states that throw billions of $ at “solving homelessness” end up with MORE HOMELESSNESS, they do not “solve homelessness.”
This is a theology-nerd thing, but in general progressives want the government to do the roles of the church and individual (charity, compassion, care), and they want NOBODY to do the role of the State (administer justice and be a “terror to the wrongdoer”).
^^^this always results in societal chaos and darkness.
Further…
What Talarico (and other progressives) always do is selevtively edit Jesus, so that he becomes a mascot for their cause.
I can do a “when Jesus…” list too, but James won’t like mine…
- When Jesus defined marriage, he defined it as only between a man and a woman
- When Jesus talked about gender, he rooted it in biology, saying “he made them male and female”
- When Jesus talked about harming children (abortion), he said it would be better for you to have millstone tied around your neck and be cast into the ocean
- … that time when Jesus encouraged his followers to buy weapons for self-defense (Luke 22:36)
- Jesus’ family strictly obeyed the government’s border / migration / census laws.
- When Jesus talked about salvation, he said belief in him was the ONLY WAY
- When Jesus healed the sick, he didn’t need a deductible… there were no insurance companies in AD 30, and Jesus was using miraculous power, not paying doctors. This would be like an anti-vaxxer saying “JESUS WASNT VACCINATED!” as justification for their position)
- When Jesus fed the hungry, he FED THE HUNGRY. He did not vote for the government to forcibly take other people’s stuff at gunpoint and redistribute it against their will.
I could go on and on and on and on…
The point is, Jesus is a LORD of the universe, not a MASCOT for your cause.

It’s becoming impossible to ignore the physicality of Division I baseball.
The average D1 roster is around 198 pounds.
Does a high school recruit need to be 198 pounds? Of course not.
But he needs to show that he’s trending toward the physicality required at that level.
With only 34 roster spots, coaches have less room to recruit players who are years away. They need players who can compete and contribute sooner.
Skill will always matter. Projection will always matter.
But strength, movement and physical development have become a major part of the recruiting conversation.
You don’t have to look like a college player yet.
But coaches need to be able to see one coming.

“Teodoro. Dig. This ain’t a courtroom. This ain’t D.C. Exhale all that vit-ri-ol, k? It’s a poisonous snake that wants to flood your blood with bogus vibes, man. Nah nah. You take that snake, turn it into a pair of Lucchese’s, take a lil sip-sip of some agave from our madre and just chilllll.
See, Ted, everybody’s always filibusterin’ somethin’. Senate. Mind. Soul. Sometimes you gotta invoke cloture on your own bullshit, brother.
Now look out there. Eleven men. Hundred yards. No amendments. No subpoenas. Just space, time and consequence.
You know why they call it the line of scrimmage, Ted? Neither do I. But it runs down the heart of every man. Which side you on?”
The fact that this is prevalent enough to create a reality show about IS the problem. The issue is parents behave this way bc they find their value in their child’s success, or lack there of. The goal is to raise good humans. If they can ball too, that’s just a fun side quest.

I'm sorry that this will piss off half the parents reading this:
Your 11 year old probably doesn’t need a $8,000-a-year travel team.
Meanwhile, mom and dad haven’t had a weekend alone in 8 months because every Friday afternoon the SUV is packed for another tournament 4 hours away.
They need to just play sports (if they want).
There’s a difference.
$3,000 team fee.
$2,500 hotels.
$1,500 eating out.
$500 uniforms.
$500 entrance fees
Every weekend gone, and somehow we convince ourselves this makes us better parents.
Then we wonder why marriages struggle. Put the kid in rec ball and let them play with their buddies.
Take your wife to dinner. Take a family vacation that doesn’t involve a Marriott next to a sports complex.
If your kid is truly THAT good, you’ll eventually know.
But I think a lot of parents are sacrificing their marriage, money and entire family calendar chasing a scholarship that probably isn’t coming.
I agree that most kids need sports.
I’m just not convinced they need travel sports.
That's me - the one who forgot their $5 hat for picture day on a team that cost $20 for the season.

This is why you can charge parents in the U.S. obscene amounts of money to chase travel ball rings every weekend. This is their proof that Timmy is going pro at 12. How do you expect Timmy to sign his $4MM pre agreement if he hasn’t shed the blood & sweat on the 7,8,9 U circuits? Let this be a message to all future mothers out there. If you aren’t part of a 3 month U, 6 month U or 9 month U pregnant moms travel team then are you even trying to put your child in a position to succeed? I don’t care that your back hurts & your feet are swollen- we’ve got ground balls at sunrise, BP at 10 & a triple header in the afternoon!
SOURCE: The Detroit Tigers have reached a pre-agreement with 12-year-old Kevin Sosa for a $4.0 million signing bonus, making him the youngest player in international baseball history to secure a deal of that magnitude.
Sosa is regarded as an elite talent with the tools and projection that would make him highly coveted by any of MLB’s 30 organizations. He already shows an advanced ability to handle fastballs in the 91-93 mph range.

BASEBALL NEEDS MORE DUGOUT GUYS.
Not bench players.
DUGOUT GUYS.
The kid who’s hitting .180 and is still the loudest dude when his teammate barrels one.
The starter who gets pulled in the fifth and is on the fence two minutes later.
The kid who picks up the catcher’s mask.
Grabs the helmet somebody tossed.
Meets the guy who scored at home plate.
Knows who’s due up.
Actually watches the damn game when he isn’t playing.
Nobody puts that on a Perfect Game profile.
There’s no exit velo for it.
No ranking.
No highlight video.
But ask any coach who’s been around long enough…
THOSE KIDS ARE WORTH THEIR WEIGHT IN GOLD.
Everybody wants to be the guy.
Baseball needs more guys who are just as fired up when their teammate gets to be the guy.
⚾️ 3 LEFTS BASEBALL

I'm glad Jordan Walker said this.
Growing up, I can't tell you how many times I heard:
"Baseball is boring."
"Go play football."
I was even called an "Oreo" because I chose baseball.
There was definitely pressure to play the sports everyone else was playing.
Baseball changed my life!
That's why seeing players like Jordan Walker embrace being role models matters. The more kids who see someone who looks like them thriving in baseball, the more they'll realize it's a path that's open to them too.
I hope more kids feel free to choose the game they love...not just the one everyone expects them to play.
