Description

The guys talk about their differing approaches to two-strike hitting over the years, advice they got from various Reds coaches (and the game itself), and what the last day of a minor league season was usually like. Plus, they answer the question, “What’s fun for you – winning or simply competing?” In this episode:

• Some simple advice from Ken Griffey, Sr.
• Knowing your situation, knowing your approach
• Advice on overcoming the fear of striking out

• Minor League “getaway day” stories
• “Is there value in grinding through a season on a bad team?” or, “No mud, no lotus”
• Frank talks gratitude
• The world premiere of Frank’s excellent new song “To Night, from Morning”
