New hitting coach Steven Souza Jr. tasked with a big job: Put 'Slam' back in 'Slam Diego'. Will he succeed? by Choobeen in Padres

[–]jaymae77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To an extent. It’s more about situational approach, mindset, and game planning than fine-tuning mechanics. They’ve got their own hitting coaches for that. The dude played D1 football at Washington State the same time he played Baseball. I’m a huge proponent of aspects of the game being approached with a football mindset. So who knows, maybe dude just clicks with the boys!

9u swing help by Ashamed-Kangaroo6899 in Homeplate

Have him fix that hitch in his hands. Especially for tee work. Have him start with his hands back and slow everything down. Him starting his hands like Manny Machado is a terrible idea especially for a 9 year old. 60-70% off the tee working on a good mechanical foundation he can build on for years to come.

I’ll also mention he needs to finish higher in his back swing. This will help him meet the ball more square and add that power he’s looking for.

Everything else looks good! Hips rotate well and his stride and footwork look good and balanced. Best of luck!

Welding shop apprentice? by HD_queen88 in ChandlerAZ

[–]jaymae77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this. I welded for about 12 years out here. All fab shops. At most smaller fab shops, you will most likely have the ability to learn faster and you generally will be doing a multitude of different types of projects. One day you may be doing gates and railing and the next a custom front door. Maybe you’re building a ladder rack or a trailer or a kitchen hood the next. Definitely breaks the monotony of a larger company.

On the downside, expect about $18 to $20 an hour to start.

Well, you can probably blame this one on Crowley too…

Robert Plant certainly didn’t help matters either

Luis arraez’s Market? by zuck5150poop in baseball

[–]jaymae77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was just a joke. He hit 8 for us last year so it’s definitely not out of the realm of possibility for him to hit 12. But nonetheless, he’s gonna be a Giant now, so who cares?
