Author Patrick Montgomery joins Anna for an episode of Extra Innings. Fans of the show might recall our fascinating conversation last year about his book The Baseball Miracle of The Splendid Six. Patrick left us eagerly anticipating his next work, hinting at a project that delves into one of baseball's most perplexing mysteries: why do some players, despite high expectations, simply fizzle out?Patrick's new book, Baseball's Great Expectations, set to hit shelves on March 5th, tackles this very question. For anyone who's ever been puzzled by a player's unmet potential, Patrick's latest offering promises to be an incredible read. Drawing from interviews with players, their families, and coaches, Patrick explores the often intangible reasons behind a player's failure to excel. From the understandable—such as injuries and bad timing—to the more elusive factors that leave fans and analysts scratching their heads, Baseball's Great Expectations seeks to uncover what happens when promise doesn't translate into performance.In today's episode, we dive into some of the intriguing insights from Patrick's research and discuss the stories that didn't make it into the book. We also catch up on Patrick's own baseball bucket list and discuss what's next for him in his journey as a baseball fan.Find the full show notes and transcript here: https://baseballbucketlist.com/podcast/extra-innings-patrick-montgomery/Find Patrick Online: Twitter:  @MontgomeryBookFacebook: @PtmontgomerybookWebsite: tdmonty0.comOrder the Book: Rowman & Littlefield | Amazon | B&N | Bookshop.org | Books-a-MillionFind Baseball Bucket List Online:Twitter: @BaseballBucketFacebook: @BaseballBucketListInstagram: @Baseball.Bucket.ListWebsite: baseballbucketlist.comThis podcast is part of the Curved Brim Media Network:Twitter: @CurvedBrimWebsite: curvedbrimmedia.com------Learn more about JapanBall's tour offerings at japanball.com

At some point or another in our lives, we will be immersed in the culture of a team that we play on or a business that we work for...  Undoubtedly, the culture is created by the attitude and actions of the people within the organization, and ultimately, their collective demeanor and doings are what will constitute the overall evaluation of who the company is and what they represent. Of course, it is imperative to have a viable leader that reflects the ethics and values the team wishes to instill from top to bottom...  Without that leadership through action from the top representatives, it is very likely there will be a massive disconnect and a bunch of lone rangers going 15 different directions, many of which have the potential to lead the squad down a snake hole they should have never even considered. Welcome to the Houston Astros the past few years...  It's been well documented in the Daily Hustle that their former manager, AJ Hinch, and I have a long-standing relationship and I have gone on record commending AJ for his leadership skills... So what happened?  The leader got caught in the culture.  In 2017, Carlos Beltran arrived in Houston and pointed out the glaring reality that they were way behind in the sign-stealing game...  Regardless of how you feel on the subject, stealing signs has been going on since the creation of baseball and many would argue that it is just part of the game...  Beltran was notorious for picking up pitches either from visually reading a pitchers tendencies or decoding catchers' signals from 2nd base. It has been said that he was instrumental in teaching many of the Astros young players what to look for and the best way to relay that information... All of which most people involved in the game would have told you are “fair play.”  After that, I can't really tell you what happened because I don't know all the details, but apparently it involved a live video monitor near the dugout and banging trash cans to indicate what pitch was coming...  It's very easy to see how this so easily progressed... Even with somebody who has been described as a quality leader at the helm and even with players and coaches who by all accounts are genuine good dudes, boundaries were crossed, and it is incredibly unfortunate for the Houston Astros organization and the game of baseball in general.  Once they were picking up pitches and relaying signs, they realized they had the ability to take it a step further when they had access to the live monitor positioned right next to the dugout... Now, it was just a matter of relaying what pitch was called to the batter which can be done 10,000 different ways... Apparently, the trash can banging was their preferred method of high tech communication.   The wrongful, over the top and relatively elementary methods were easy to rationalize... Just like nearly all other teams, the Astros were already stealing signs part of the time, now they had the ability to do it almost all of the time...  Unfortunately, they couldn't resist temptation and took advantage of the opportunity that has now ruined the image of the team, players and their World Series championship.  I get how and why they were able to justify their actions... Ballplayers & coaches have been doing similar shit for 150 plus years so fuck it... Right? WRONG. This is the problem with sign-stealing... It's cheating and it ALWAYS has been. Just like the steroid era, once that cheating can of shit worms is officially open and mass amounts of players indulge, the line of morality and sportsmanship isn't just blurred, it's fucking GONE and so is the culture...  We now have otherwise good human beings who got caught up in a dangerous & unethical culture that has ruined the perceived validity of everything great that they have been able to accomplish in their professional careers. Maybe AJ should have done more to stop it,

One of the top responsibilities we have as youth baseball coaches is to help kids throw better. How do help kids throw better? It just takes an easy plan and some effort to set up a warm-up throwing routine. Want to help kids survive baseball at the 60’/90’ fields and make the high school baseball funnel? Well, Dave Holt helps talk us through a plan of action to maximize our kids throwing arms and ball handling skills. If we neglect our kids throwing development it may end up to an early exit from the game.

True youth baseball player development does factor in some losses. Unless you are willing to lose some games here and there you might be a ‘win-at-all-costs’ coach. Now the Big-People’ (adults, parents, grandparents, peers) really, really want to win games. Oh, they say they want coaches to develop players but, deep down the ‘Big-People’ mostly care about winning. How can you coach youth baseball and avoid falling into the ‘win-at-all-costs’ trap? Check out this episode and see how Dave wants you to handle the situation.

Mike and Bill look back at the Boones (Ray, Bob, Bret, and Aaron) and their legacies, and other three-generation MLB families. Plus, happy birthday to Gary Gaetti and Tom Brunansky!
