It's really no more complicated than that; for non troglodytes, anyway.

Though he makes a good point - strength and conditioning coaches don't get paid shit.
Maybe it's because dumbass muscleheads like him are able to teach someone how to lift heavy things repeatedly. They're essentially fungible so there's no point in giving them real money.
Hitting coaches, OTOH, actually have to understand how to apply strength and it's uses to a swing. They actually have to be able to understand a swing and articulate how to refine it. In other words, stuff that a musclehead dipshit like him can't manage. As such, supply and demand dictates that they'd actually get paid pretty well.
He knows absolutely nothing about baseball or a baseball swing, yet I'm the idiot that doesn't understand why adding strength
does augment and improve most people's swings.
Whatever - the last word is yours, Al. I'm sure it will be just as enlightening as every other bit of juice-addled tripe you've littered throughout this mess of a thread.
