EMPTYING OUT THE NOTEBOOK
It’s 2021, so obviously TLI doesn’t have a notebook to empty, but we wanted to unleash items that we didn’t get to all week. So TLI will be emptying it’s virtual notebook right now.
***Iowa Premier Gold 2023 SS Ashley Wolfe has amazing skills, but sometimes you take one in the jaw.
Working the 2-tennis ball transfer AND how to take a hit- lol. This is what I do on my lunch hour from school!!! #cantstopwontstop #makeitfun @IowaPremierFP @Los_Stuff @HFLfastpitch @IHartFastpitch @rickcowan68 @AthleteLevel pic.twitter.com/7G5RqVF3tv

***Skynet has apparently become self aware. TLI used to rely on his lil sis for all shagging duties.
What a great day to shoot some hoops! Did some single moves double moves and ended with a Mikan drill, 15 shots under 30 seconds. pic.twitter.com/jnaOuu0ZON

***In a previous life when TLI used to cover boxing, Evander “Real Deal” Holyfield was known as the king of stretching. As Holyfield got older, he never sparred. He just stretched for two hours. TLI would interview Evander as he stretched for hours.
Stretching after pitching and catching is super important! Every single time. Best done with a smile on your face, too 😁#GoWolves | #GoldStandard pic.twitter.com/o3begmtaAa

***TLI believes “What doesn’t kill you simply makes you, stranger.” That’s a quote from the Joker from “The Dark Knight” and it applies to this crew.
The “weirder” we get.
The more freedom we create.@DrivelineBB Rebounder/Plyoballs@Oatesspecialty: Khaos Water Ball pic.twitter.com/FIApWozh01— Kirsten Cox (@DTDSoftball) January 14, 2021
***Texas Riptide’s Hunter Quentel feels the need for speed training.
Riptide is serious about improving our Hm to 1st times! Hunter was not pleased with her time so she called in reinforcements 😂👏🏾 https://t.co/Wm1wcgB7un

***Birmingham Thunderbolts 05 2023 P/OF/1B Ahmari Braden is all about blood, sweat, respect and … bat control.
