Far too many negative thoughts and comments are being made about the best baseball players in the world.

We as coaches need to realize that the game of baseball is not only difficult physically, but mentally as well.

Anybody can say that "if they did it my way they would be better."

How about noticing the positive attributes that MLB hitters have. Try to learn from those and stop being so negative about the inevitable 7 outs out of 10 at-bats.

Is it really realistic to think that none of the hitters in MLB are trying to improve themselves in any way that they can. Are some of you that ignorant? Do you really think that they are just sitting on their couch right now admiring their "perfect season" of last year?

To think that MLB hitters should all hit .600 or something is like saying every NFL runningback should never be tackled and score every time they run with the ball.

Confidence is the biggest factor in any sport. Focus on the negatives is the number one confidence killer.

There are far too many negative things in this world, please start to notice some of the positive things and learn from those.
