I had a really good call with @O3jfrye about hitting and Twitter and #HittingTwitter and the #shegone movement. Honestly we agreed on a lot and the conversation was respectful from both sides. I’m looking forward to having him check out some of our ideas and
Products here @BRrebellion including the Rebels Rack and Rebel’s Rack Certification and the launch angle tee. The bottom line is this: sometimes the message we are trying to get out can get clouded for others by the style of delivery of the messenger.
I have learned over and over again that HOW I say things has turned people off in the past. I’ve popped off and swiped at people on twitter. I have rubbed people the wrong way as teammates and employees. HOW I said what I said was probably wrong.
The good part about this horrible quarantine is I just have more time to think. Time to evaluate how I speak to people and how I tweet at people as well. More time to actually reach out to people and attempt to connect. Honestly I’m not sure how good I am at that yet though.
I’ve had FaceTimes with @xanbarksdale , someone I have admired from a business and content sales standpoint for a while. Another FaceTime with @clongbaseball who has one of the most unique deliveries as far as how he speaks about hitting I’ve ever seen (over 13 years online).
Had an awesome zoom I recorded (yes I’ll send the clip over) with @108_Performance that first got hacked or intruded upon my morons but then ended up going almost 3 hours. I reconnected with @YoCoachYo who I think is one of the best hitting coaches in the world. Period.
And she’s an awesome friend as well. I talked with @CoachTomEller while his new son Redden tried to get as many words, sounds, and screams in as he could! 😂. Honestly I have no idea what Xan or Chad or Eugene think of me. I know Tom is my boy! And Yo is the best and someone
I can count on. I think Jeff #shegone Frye could end up being a really good thing for keeping people honest with what they’re “trying” on parents time and dime. And I’m pumped to hopefully connect with more people during this time and maintain that connection when this ends.
I did a really fun @instagram live with @DiamondKinetics JD Vidal about bat sensors and the #PlayAtHome initiative they’ve started. DK is one of the companies/people I have offended in the past. So I’m glad they and have graciously given me and BR/SR another chance.
One more, @FoldenFastpitch was super cool over text. I haven’t talked to her yet, but I’m looking forward to in the near future. Baseball is at a really cool crossroads. Some will hate it. Others will love it. I’m probably somewhere in the middle.
But I promise you and all of the #baseball and #softball world this: I’m here. @BRrebellion is here. And we want to connect and share. Grow and change. Evolve and learn. Ask and listen. So I’m asking a favor, take our calls. Answer our DM’s. Let’s learn together. Thank You. 🙏
