I hope he does have a great career. Will say the words......

Can we stop with the 'headcase' crap?

1) It looks terrible for State fans to constantly call our own headcases.
2) It likely isn't true, and we certainly don't have any way of knowing. He struggles with command at times, and his stuff works better out of the pen where he can go more max effort and only worry about throwing two pitches. That's what we know. More than likely, he's going to fly up to the majors and have a fantastic career. And we'll look back and see a bunch of our own fans calling him a headcase. Phenomenal.

Is it going to hurt his feelings? If so then he is. I'm making what I think is an educated observation from my baseball experience and I think he has to get mentally tougher. I promise you our staff talks about mental toughness. He needs to get some. And we could have used him having some. I want him to become Billy Wagner. He has a long way to go in things that don't have anything to do with his rocket arm.

I'm not accusing him go being a bad kid or some piece of crap. It's the same thing as when a talented football player always seems to get nicked up and saying he is soft. Well Lindgren appears soft.

Will admitting he is wrong will happen when coach34 does. Never.

It is pretty easy to do but some folks just cant. I believe the word is pride.

We post on message boards all day. We make predictions. A lot will come true and a lot wont.

I didn't say it would hurt his feelings. But it looks terrible for the fanbase.

If you think he needs to get more mentally strong, I have no issue with that; that's a potentially legitimate assessment. Calling him a 'headcase' is another thing entirely. I wish our fans would stop doing crap like this in all sports. Game threads are the worst.

I think will and seen it need to have a feats of strength / chili cook off / beer contest at the USM game. Proceeds go to server fees.

Lindgren was just quoted "I want to sign as soon as possible and begin my journey." Just cost himself at least 100k. Don't say that out loud dude.

He wants to make to the big leagues this year. I for one hope he does and apparently most people in MLB circles thinks he will. I just don't understand how some people on here have thrown him under the bus for the way the season ended. You guys calling him a "head case" don't have a freakin clue.

By the way...whoever designed the Denver airport terminals is an example of a "head case." Ha!

I didn't throw him under the bus. It's been a 3 yr repetitive thing. He's goofy so maybe head case is a little much although I don't think I termed him that way originally. He's been considered that by others an it stuck. Now I think he better grow some damn stones real fast because if he is gonna do the things we all think he can then he is gonna have to get tougher real quick. I hope he does. I'm pissed for us that he didn't do it the 3 yrs he was here. ONLy thing that held him back from being a top 5 pick.
