Got a chance to play stick ball with a group of girls at an orphanage in La Romanna; one 7 year old girl had better mechanics and more passion for the game than some of the high school players I've seen recently. Saw Robinson Cano play one night for Estrella in San Pedro de Marcoris. It looks like he's made some adjustments in his stance (closed in a little from what used to be open) for the coming season. Jarrod Saltalamachia walked three times and hit two BOMBS for Escagido while 3rd base coach Frank Luareano looked on. Rico Carty and Jose Cano were among the who's who in the stands as N.Y. Yanks hitting coach Kevin Long was in attendance obviously to check out Robinsons' new approach. Kudos to Pedroia! This is a great step back/forward to some old school get after it baseball! Talk about passion for the game ;brings back memories of watching Chunking Badens play! Brent, sorry but the sea was calm on the south side of the island so no wave reports, the big redwood never made an appearance! Fresh fruit and veggies were off the chizain, beans and rice everyday like nobody's bizniz! Had a chance for some golf at the Metro Club in Juan Dolio but opted out for stick ball at the orphanage;the right call definetly! Peace to all at Thanksgiving and Mayne man be careful eating all that tofu shaped bird! p.s. greatest blog on the planet! Back from the D.R. and it was off the chain.

Future interviews with him will focus more on specifics like infield play, pitching, catching, etc. Thanks SS, I think you’ll like the interview of my Dad…this first podcast lays the foundation for who he is and where he’s coming from…..it deals mostly with his personal history and coaching lineage and some of the things that he thinks are most important in baseball.

From what I hear, the biggest differerence between Pedroia and the guy bagging your groceries is that the guy at Trader Joe's won't say, "You want paper or @#!%$ plastic with that? Thanks for !@#$% comin', see ya next @#!%$ time." Can't wait to hear your Dad on the podcast, many of my memories are of him doing a Pedroia impersonation when I couldn't throw a strike :) Pedroia is a stud, and appropriate that you called him “tough as nails,” ’cause he does bring Dykstra to mind (minus the juice).
