POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

RHYTHM. ALIGNMENT. DIRECTION.

The game will tell you a lot if you’re willing to pay attention.

Every hitter has a rhythm. Every swing has a direction. Every movement tells a story.

Know your opponent. Recognize their timing, tendencies, strengths, and vulnerabilities. Identify what makes them successful and what causes their swing to break down.

Understand your teammates. Their movements, routines, strengths, and adjustments. Learn what allows them to compete at their best and how you can help elevate their performance.

Evaluate yourself. Your rhythm, alignment, and direction directly impact your ability to consistently execute.

Rhythm creates timing.
Alignment creates efficiency.
Direction creates purpose.
Preparation creates opportunity.

Elite players don’t just watch the game. They recognize patterns, anticipate adjustments, and understand how the smallest details create competitive advantages.

Be intentional with your observations. Be relentless in your preparation. Be curious enough to ask WHY.

Because the difference between watching baseball and understanding baseball is knowing WHAT you’re seeing and WHY it matters.

A Friday thought as we head into the weekend.

Pittsburgh family,
Hockey season is just around the corner and I wanted to let everyone know that I won’t be back with the Penguins this year. When I think about the 3 years I had covering the team as both a rink-side reporter and host at the desk the number one word that comes to mind is grateful. Being able to travel with and cover an NHL team was always a dream of mine so to have had the opportunity to live out that dream for a whole 3 years is something that will always be very special to me. This is also such an incredible sports town and I loved getting to meet so many Penguins and Pirates fans.

While my love for the game of hockey runs deep, what I will miss the most about this role is actually not the job itself but the friendships I made. Everyone I worked with at SportsNet Pittsburgh and all of the employees at PPG Paints Arena were and always will be like family to me. Being on TV brings me so much joy but my favorite part about the job was actually getting to the rink an hour early before my work began so I could make my rounds of saying hello to all of the security workers and truck production folks who I ended up becoming very close with and will continue to be close with even though I won’t be at the rink every day anymore. That’s the cool thing about this industry. Even when you leave a job and move onto something else the friendships you made are always still there.

I look at all that’s happened during my time in Pittsburgh and I see God’s hands all over it. Sometimes walking with God and following his plan means not getting too comfortable in one place and being willing to continue to follow his plan for your life elsewhere because at the end of the day none of this is about me. As I begin married life and look forward to new opportunities, I know God continues to be in control. I’m excited to build even more friendships and spread the joy and love of Jesus with everyone I encounter. Love yinz a ton!💛

We can’t stop watching the Pittsburgh Pirates postgame. Jared Jones’ chest hair is like the cohost of this show. We’d like some McKenry chest hair.

Thus we may know that there are five essentials for victory:
1 He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight.
2 He will win who knows how to handle both superior and inferior forces.
3 He will win whose army is animated by the same spirit throughout all its ranks.
4 He will win who, prepared himself, waits to take the enemy unprepared.
5 He will win who has military capacity and is not interfered with by the sovereign.

Steven Brault says the biggest standing ovation of his life came after the worst outing of his career.

Steven Brault doesn’t just want to talk about the game. He wants to call the moment.

For him, play-by-play is about being part of the action when everything builds to one pitch, one swing, and one unforgettable call.

That love for baseball never left.

One of the coolest parts of this job is getting the chance to talk baseball with people who genuinely love the game.

I’ve absolutely loved working with my dudes, @skoobuh and @alexprThe All-Players Shows have been an absolute blast—great stories, plenty of laughs, baseball talk that can go anywhere, and a chance to learn something new every time we sit down.

What makes it special isn’t just the baseball. It’s the people. The relationships. The different perspectives from guys who have lived this game in so many different ways.

I’ve always believed baseball is at its best when it’s shared, and these conversations remind me why I fell in love with the game in the first place.

Grateful for the opportunity. Grateful for the friendships. And grateful for every chance to talk ball with good people.
