"Your little league coach traded you?"

Old navy veteran 3rd base coach

"I AM at my usual position."

Bobby's pitching coach told him to put some stank on the ball.

"He's got great velocity but his trajectory needs work."

I like what I'm seein' out there. This could be our year Wikowski.

'Clear out your desk, Randy. ...NEXT!'

'OK, now let's switch places.'

'Marm doesn't understand, 'I've got it, I've got it'.'

"Sorry kid, I work alone."

Roy, if you can hear me, the Mets are twenty games over .500 and they have a good shot at clinching the N. L. East."

Regardless children just want to fit in.

"Get the meat loaf—I hit it out of the park today."

"Easy on the fast balls, will you, kid?"

'Dad says I can't come out tonight. It's some sort of infield fly rule.'

"Uniformly accelerated motion"

This is great, Ernie, there's a pennant race and the ballpark is packed every day! The food selection here is unmatched anywhere! Today I've already had nachos, a bit of hot dog and some ice cream! Coming here always makes me queasy! Oh, the foods too much for you? No, I just get nervous in a place where the term "sacrifice fly" is used!

"Did you honestly expect our couples therapist to know when Jacoby Ellsbury will be off the disabled list?!"

Great coaching is about being specific with feedback.

'The manager takes the pitcher out of the game'

'Boss, he followed me home. Can I mentor him?'

'I wouldn't worry too much about his communication skills....grunting is perfectly normal at his age!'

'Slugger' Sims...Leader in: Home Runs, RBIs, Endorsement Deals.

'No glove. No hat. No shoes. ... I'm sorry, Andy, but I'm bringing in a new pitcher. You just don't have your stuff today.'

Adding people with a background in music has made the team better. The new hitting coach is just like clarinet player Benny Goodman. Benny Goodman was "The King of Swing"! Nobody is better with that instrument than this guy. That's why he's playing first bass! The rock star with bat cleanup for the team. He'll have some big hits this year! And the opera singer will be the new ace on the mound. Thanks to the perfect pitch!

"Can we fast forward through the 7th inning stretch?"

"There's your problem."

'Our sabermetrics guy has confirmed that last year's team that went 60-102 was bad.'

'I'm the new kid on the team. Where's my signing bonus?'

'The batter's crowding the plate. Try dusting him off at the knees. If that doesn't work, throw it high and inside. If he still won't back off, charge the plate and bite him.'

Baseball manager shows pitcher complicated charts.

Gotta take you out, kid – You're getting booed off the field on my Twitter feed.

"Figured out who should bat cleanup yet, Skipper?"

'Nice level swing, Billy. Just meet the ball. Don't try to kill it, Billy.'

"Coach said I can be catcher if I gain 30 pounds."
