Our pitchers are all with Brady

[weams]

This is great news. I am sure Brady knows what he is doing so there should be no worries about that. Pitchers don't do much heavy lifting in the offseason. It's mainly conditioning to get them to last through the season.

Actually, Tommy says Brady has them lifting HEAVY.

: What's your training regimen like?

A: When I spend time with them it's an all-day thing. I'm actually out there training with them. If you want to train at the highest level you have to devote your day and your life to training and getting better. You can't just do a 45-minute workout. It has to be a segment for sprinting, conditioning, weightlifting and baseball skills.

Q: So you're replicating a lot of the same routines you did during your playing days?

A: Exactly. The only thing is, when spring training starts I don't go back. Those are things I love to do. From the time I was 20, I was training with world-class decathletes. I believe that without the training I did I wouldn't have played in the big leagues and been the type of player that I was.

Q: Would you like to be a major league hitting coach?

A: I don't know. I've been asked that many times. There's occasional interest from teams. I've resisted it for several reasons. I like working with individuals. I think it's harder to work with a group of 25 guys at a time. I like to work on that one guy's swing and as I'm simultaneously training him and making him a better athlete. I like what I'm doing, but things may change. The results that I get from these hitters is across-the-board, drastic improvement.

I'm a bit private about who I train with. Jerry Hairston Jr. has made it public that he's worked with me. I've worked with probably 15-20 guys this off-season. I know what it's like for guys to be successful and then struggle. I struggled and had success, probably like no other player in the history of baseball. I know what they're going through.

Brady did not give out these names. Tommy Hunter did.

[Frobby]

I think this is great news for Hunter. He certainly looked like he needed some conditioning help. I think he has a lot of potential to surprise folks.

I can only imagine the stuff that is going on over there. Lots of male bonding, sweating, and Rocky IV soundtrack tunes. Hell, I bet it looks a lot like the Top Gun volleyball scene!

Brady anderson: You kids are soft. You lack discipline.

[shouts]

------------------------------

brady anderson: No more complaining. No more "mr. Anderson, i have to go the bathroom". Nothing!

[shouts]

brady anderson: There *is* no bathroom!

it's not a toomah!!

[Frobby]

This is the story, of a man named Brady,

Who was shaping up four very flabby men,

All of them had muscle tone, like their mothers'*,

One's ERA was Ten.

This is the story, of guys who pitched liked ladies*,

And had finished up a very lousy year,

They left their manager -- disappointed,

The pitching coach in tears.

Until one day when our Brady met these fellows,

And they knew that it was much more than a hunch,

That this group must go work out in Irvine

And that's how they all became the Brady Bunch.

The Brady Bunch, the Brady Bunch,

And that's how they all became the Brady Bunch.

(*With apologies to all those women who keep themselves in good shape and can pitch.)

Pitchers lift heavy in the off season to build up explosive strength in short bursts. Because, you know, that's what you need for pitching.
