The point is never stop learning. Here are some videos to help each of figure out what we are doing wrong. Not all videos apply to everyone, except Sergio, but we could all learn from at least one of them. This guy knows a bit about hitting:

“Just for the sake of doing it. . .I’m not going to wait until we have a 6-8 record to give my motivational talk. As you know we had a sweet team by the end of last season. Pitching was good (matty led the whole rotation staff and didnt walk many people), hitting was good (randy was clutch getting us a huge hit tto get us a win at the end of the season), defense was great (third base had two gold glove vacuum cleaners). i think with the new uniforms we are getting, we will play even better. please, let’s win our first game of the season. we are playing some new girl scout team and we need to get them to think they lost the game as soon as they get on the field. i want to go to playoffs again. so be ready. be well rested. let’s make the end of the season easier on us by taking a few wins now”
