Culture. Winners, win. I hate to say this because I love this franchise with my entire being but its because the Pirates organization doesnt know how to win. Just sitting around waiting for something bad to happen.

The Pirates are basically getting career years from like every single position player on the roster and are somehow one game under .500. It is mind blowing stuff.

Losers: Assemble in small groups and complain about coaches and teammates. Winners: Assemble as a team and find ways to win. Which one are you?

The best pitching cue is often no cue at all. Recommended to me in my first week at Driveline, The Inner Game of Tennis (1974) is still the most underused book in baseball. Here's why it matters for developing pitchers (a thread):

Curt Cignetti on his program's philosophy on how not to be average: 🎭 Average is a decision disguised as a default. Make standards visible, measurable, and non-negotiable. Because what you tolerate becomes your identity. 🤝 Most people negotiate with the work; elite teams eliminate the negotiation. The gap isn’t talent, it’s the daily refusal to accept “good enough” in reps, details, and accountability. 🧱 You don’t rise above average in big moments, you escape it in small ones. Every meeting, drill, and conversation is either reinforcing the standard, or quietly lowering it.

The best players "bring it everday." They don't give at bats away, they don't take pitches off, they finish their reps in the weightroom, take goundballs game speed, etc. Bring it everyday.

Great players bring the right approach every day no matter what. Wins are just a byproduct of the foundation you build. As a coach my job is to shoot them straight. If you tolerate a day off in prep you teach them that excellence is optional. It never is.

"If you tell them the truth, they're going to hate you for a day. If you lie to them, they're going to hate you forever." Pirates manager Don Kelly shared some advice he got from Hall of Fame manager Jim Leyland on being transparent and truthful with players.

As a hitting coach, I watched players come back to the dugout after making an out. They'd look at me and ask, "What'd you see?" I'd go through the mechanical stuff like back side collapse, front side energy, head came off the ball. Man, it was wearing me out! Finally, I realized I needed to simplify. So the next time a player came back asking what I saw, I just asked him: "Did you get a good pitch to hit?" That usually stopped the conversation. Because if you don't "get a good pitch to hit," it's hard to get a hit. This works in our lives too. Whatever task I take on, I ask myself: Am I putting myself in position to succeed? Did I eliminate distractions? Did I prepare? Did I practice? Am I ready to produce? In life, your "good pitch to hit" probably isn't the same as mine. That's the beauty of it all. I've swung at some bad pitches in my life... so have you. But one bad swing doesn't always end the at-bat. Hitting is a lot like life. It can be simple, but not easy.

I love this quote from the world’s #1 ranked golfer, Scottie Scheffler: “You don’t become the #1 ranked player by thinking about rankings. And you don’t stay the #1 ranked player by thinking about rankings.” The best in the world focus on the process — not the outcome. Rankings, stats, and results take care of themselves when the focus stays on the work.

Our children aren't here to live out OUR dreams. They're here to discover their own. I've seen too many parents force-feeding their hopes, dreams, and desires on their children. Very rarely does it work out well. God gives us freedom of choice My son, Christian, retired from baseball when he was 4. He chose karate, then tennis, then crew. Sports I knew nothing about. He stole the two basic things every dad needs: the ability to second-guess the coach and over-coach his own kid. All I could do was show up, drive, and cheer. And when the game was over, I'd just say "I loved watching you do what you do." Some parents say, "I'll let him do whatever he wants, and maybe he'll come back to baseball." Stop. You just ruined it. You're still holding on. Your job as a parent isn't to mold them into who you want them to be. It's to put them in the best position to be happy and successful at what THEY love to do.
