Act like a PRO
In pro ball stud latin players from Florida like Danny Bomback have sick beards and sick hair cuts and bright pink turf shoes and a huge leg kick and shredded out of their mind. The difference between the college and professional game is embarrassing. I watch the college world series and see Vanderbilt get off their bus in their full UNIFORM! The world series is in a pro stadium they have two clubhouses. The guys should be getting off their bus in vans, khaki shorts, a polo or v neck tee with some sick shades on. Not wearing their game hat either, but rocking a sick Bryce Harper hair cut which I think looks brutal but If I was still playing I would go to the Barber and bring in a picture of Harper and say I want that hair cut because it has hits in it. Everyone complains that the field is too big in Omaha. Its too big because you tell your kids to get their foot down because thats how your coach taught you how to hit. If you took any Rookie Ball professional team and gave them metal bats they would go 56-0 in the SEC and then win the national championship and hit 20 home runs in the world series. The college game is soo boring now because every coach calls the pitches. Pitching coaches need to realize that you already pitched let the kid own his outing and the catcher make his decisions. Once in a while in a big spot I can see but not calling pitches in the 5th inning of a 7-0 game for your team ERA that you think matters. Some dude created a program that creates college spray charts for teams and charges $750 a season and people purchase them. You could buy 4 brand new bats with that money or 3 pairs of franklin batting gloves for each player, or new cleats for your whole team. Give me a break. College pre-game I/O. Get your work in during bp and then let your guys rest before the game instead of thinking you win games during I/O. How many times have you heard a coach say, "Lets set the tone during I/O". Wait What??? Since almost all college coaches just do what their coach did I know that no one knows what to do before the game besides the coaches that played pro ball so I'm going to tell you how. If you want to figure out what the pro's do spend 5 bucks to go to a Lowell spinners game and go to the game at 5pm and watch pre-game and then leave when the game starts because your job is to get the players ready to play but you think your job is to micro-manage them during the game and yell at them when they make an error and make them bunt (which I sometimes see called with a quarter back wrist band now like the sac bunt is a college football play) and call the pitches and move the outfielders according to your over-priced spray charts. No one teaches their guys the game and how to act on the field so College baseball looks like little league baseball and its embarrassing. They make up chants, they make fun of the other team, they taunt the coaches, they pic signs at second, the coaches relay signs from the coaching boxes which is the one thing I do too because none of these coaches teach their catchers how to hide the signs. This shit doesn't happen in professional baseball because that game polices itself. If you act like a jerk or pick signs at second, the next time you come up their is a Rawlings logo engraved in the middle of your back and then you don't give signs anymore. Finally, The College Uniforms are a joke. The big leagers wear Majestic. How many college teams across the country at any level have majestic uniforms? College teams don't clean their shoes and their uniform are dirty sometimes and they don't take the elastic out of the bottom of their pants most the time. You can teach your kids how to act like pros instead of little leaguers. You go to professional games early so you learn what they do pre-game and then you spend 30 bucks a month on a user name and password to MLBTV and you email that password to your players and you write, "watch how they dress and watch how they act when they fail. Pretty tough I know but coaches will spend thousands and thousands of dollars on Radar Guns and recruiting trips.
