    Not calling anyone names. No reason to. I know you are picking at a bone so just ****ing do it.

    ETA..and if you read any of the thread you will see I'm putting this at the feet of the pitching coach

    Maybe one or two them can't for whatever reason. I agree that they got to throw it over the plate. I realize walks are a killer.

    I still think Henderson will be good as a pitching coach, he has a good reputation as a recruiter. Time will tell.

    Your overall point may have been to criticize Henderson, but you clearly called our pitchers a name and implied they just aren't being tough enough. In a similar situation a couple weeks ago, you jumped on posters who did something similar.

    I'm not picking a bone just to do it. I have an issue with the inconsistency in which the board is run, and I always have an issue with calling our players names. I don't know why you have an issue with it at times while doing the exact same thing yourself at others.

    How many of our players are mental midgets now?

    My biggest deal with Henderson is that players have told me he lacks energy, fire. College baseball is a long season. You need a pitching coach that has a little fire.

    Our last pitching coach had fire, now our pitchers don't have elbows.

    I think over the course of a long season a steady dependable approach will be a good thing.

    Not advocating or knocking Henderson...haven't been able to pay close attention so far this year but I don't doubt there is a definite personality change from last year and I'm not certain if that's a good or bad thing.

    So I'm free to call any of them that I think might fit a mental midget, yes?

    I agree that I would rather have an energetic coach as opposed to one that lacks energy. I like Cann's energy.

    I like having energy with the head guy and I think Cann has that as Cohen had it. For the pitching coach, which is a teacher more than anything of mechanics and crafting a skill, I don't think it helps much to be overly intense and animated. I never saw Wes Johnson animated or overly excited during games. Can't speak to how Henderson or Johnson are during practices.

    You know what do whatever the **** you want. I didn't call any of them pussies. I said they were pitching LIKE pussies because they are. I didn't imply shit I stated it. Go after hitters, killer mentality. When there is enough sample size then mental midget certainly is warranted. Continuing to make bonehead after bonehead mistake makes you a mental midget. Beginning of the season with all these new guys it's probably not warranted but whatever.

    As far as the way the board is run and inconsistency you're just being bitchy there. Get over it. Now if you find a place where I specifically singled out a player and called him a name personally then I'll admit I shouldn't have and sweetheart I'll try to do better. Chances are its more along the lines of "so and so continues to be a mental midget and can't stop getting picked off base" or something like that. And it's warranted. "So and so won't go at hitters since beginning of last season. He's got no stones." Warranted.

    What do you want? How do you want it? You tell me how I should post and I'll take it under consideration.

    If you're not ok with calling out certain players for something mental, don't call out any of them. Simple as that.

    I think you can have a coach that has energy that isn't overly animated and intense. I think Butch Thompson was like that.
