Holy shit, if one were the casual observer/lurker on this site the last few weeks, one would think Shotgun was a founding father of ED. At any given moment he the creator of 40-60% of the threads on the first page. In order to help him relieve his stress and anxiety, can we create a gofundme page to send him a hooker and whiskey? I sure hope he is retired or self employed, because he is stealing from an employer otherwise.
I'm going to be honest- I thought an early NSD would make things better. I think it would be worse because we have to deal with this drama twice in a year.

How are hitting lessons going this time of year?

As far as our team Cannizzaro will not need any assistance teaching this team the proper technique. If the players listen to him like the LSU hitters did, we should have little to worry about from an offensive perspective. He knows the game and little technique adjustments that can transform hitters. Now, if the players refuse to listen and change that's another story. Maybe Johnny was telling them things and they just didn't listen. Who knows. If the swings aren't tweaked with Cannizzaro in there, it will tell me the players are just arrogant and stubborn and don't want to be coached the correct way.
Whoa, Whoa, WHOAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! If ANY "non-founder" is gettin' a hooker and some whiskey.....Quote:

Many college coaches look at a player and try to figure out how to best use his now tool and skill set to win games even if what they are asking a player to do ultimately deters him from developing his strengths and reaching his ceiling. Whereas pro scouts look at a player and try to figure how that player can best reach his ceiling and what type of player he will need to be to do that.
I don't blame most college coaches for looking at the game the way they do because most college coaches 1. Have to win games today and 2. Don't recruit well enough to have players that qualify as pro prospects and have ceiling.
But, if you can recruit at the level that it appears Canny is about to recruit at, the sky is the limit because you can develop and mold players to maximize their strengths. This will ultimately create a baseball team that has players with big tools that will show up on the field. Power arm will throw gas. Power hitters will hit bombs. Fast guys will steal bases. etc.... It's going to be really fun to watch.
Over-saturation makes everything worse.Quote:

This wasn't meant as a slight. Just trying to lighten the mood with something other than the latest episode(a) of "As the beaver damn burns".
Yea it was meant as a slight. Own that shit cause it was funny as hell. Shotgun posts way too damn much. That ain't debatable that's fact. Perhaps you had some liquid courage in you at the time of the post but waffling from it later just makes you look weak bruh and since you are the Power Bat Guru we can't have this weak shit.Quote:

Maybe a slight, but mainly pointing out that he's way to F*cking nervous and hung up on this recruiting BS. It's really not that serious in the grand scheme of life.Quote:

To be fair, almost all of shotgun's threads get action. That's what the board's for.
