About this listen
Episode 1: Coaches Losing It Welcome to the very first full episode of Baseball Ready, where youth baseball gets real, raw, and a little ridiculous.
In this episode, Russ Riba breaks down a viral and outrageous moment in youth baseball—a coach absolutely losing his mind over a borderline pitch. Was it a bad call? Was it just a bad day? Russ unpacks the video, shares insights from his own experience as an umpire, and reminds us that respect, self-control, and perspective matter—especially when the kids are watching.
Along the way, you’ll hear:
- A ridiculous baseball riddle (with a corny payoff)
- A deep dive into the viral clip and what actually happened
- A personal story about a coach’s surprising moment of humility
- A “get down to the baseline” takeaway about what this game is really about
Whether you're a parent, coach, umpire, or snack-schedule warrior, this episode reminds us why we all need to chill a little—and laugh a lot.
