Barwis doing some work for Mets

By pdxblue — January 31st, 2011 at 1:38 PM — 16 comments
Barwis tweet today

“@BarwisMethods: Just landed in NYC to consult for Mets. Love the East Coast Cities. Fired up for a great day with an outstanding organization!”

Wilpon effect?

I know he is no longer a Michigan coach, but I know people are interested in following how he lands.

Actually baseball could be a perfect fit for Barwis and the whole fast twitch muscle stuff. Even trimming even 0.05s off a swing is huge.

Plus the "pre-hab" work for a grueling 162+ game season.

If it wasn't, there wouldn't have been a steroid scandal.  Also. steroids wouldn't have affected the stats like they did.

This one coach I had tried to put me on a weight training program, and I was all like, “You and your weights can go fuck off somewhere. I’m not lifting that shit. That shit is heavy. You tell me why I need strength training when I’m strong enough to throw a goddam 100 MPH pitch.

"Kenny Powers is a man.  Kenny powers is an athlete.  Kenny Powers is a lover.  But the thing Kenny Powers is the most, is a goddamn champion."-my talking Kenny Powers bobblehead doll, five minutes ago

He also wanted me to let you know that: "You're fuckin' out!"

It is spelled HOKEAMANIA.  Our coach is an ass-kicking American citizen, not one of the Beatles, for Christ's sake!
