Also worth noting that today marks the first day of high school baseball in the state of Texas! 

Proud dad moment: My son will be taking to the diamond for the first time of his high school career today.  He's a freshman who plays all other sports, but this is what he lives for.  He's been up since 5 AM and went to workout before practice later today (rain needs to get out of town).  To say he's excited would be an understatement,

Hi guys, love the new site and the video content. If I could ask a favor, could you make sure you're uploading (or whatever needs to be done behind the scenes) all of your OTF YouTube content into podcast form? It seems like only every other video, or so, makes it into my podcast app. It would be nice to have all of them

Thanks!

We will look into this for sure.  What podcast app are you using? I know sometimes its delayed on Spotify.
