Take your strawman bullshit back to DC.

Seriously. GTFO. And seek help.

Took the fam on a day trip to NWA yesterday. Hung out in Bentonville for the afternoon (Crystal Bridges, Walmart Museum, town square, lunch). Then went to the ballgame in the evening. Very lousy game for the Naturals. They lost 5-1 and only had 3 hits. Witt, Pratto, and Melendez combined to go 0-11.

However, we had a great time as a family. We had awesome second row seats near the Naturals dugout. We moved out to the outfield for a while, and got a home run ball from a visiting player. First live ball I've ever gotten in my life (probably over 100 live games). A few of the players (Josh Dye, Collin Snider, and Travis Jones) were nice enough to sign the ball after the game for the girls as well.

Great pics brother ^

Outstanding!

Enjoy this time with those children. It goes by way to fast!!

It's pretty hilarious how literally every person on this board hates you. I'm guessing it's very similar in real life also.

Awesome. :clap:

Looks like a wonderful family you've got there.

Well you've got the infield covered!

I only see that dipshit and Oaklandhater when people reply to them. This is a much nicer experience when you mute the reeruns.

Look, blowhard asshole, we have a disagreement over the importance of the pitching coach for a MLB team. You took weird offense to it for some reason, and introduced your high school pitching coach into it, you whiny bitch. And what does DC have to do with it? Go jack off to to some A ball stats, dick.

You get one warning before I ban you from this thread.

Drop it now.

The problem is the Royals have one of the worst pitching coaches around and he is causing a lot of issues with these pitchers.

I mean, you kind of disregarded all of the examples of how pitching coaches transformed MLB teams with "eh I don't really buy it" so it seems like you're just gonna be determined to think that pitching coaches don't matter no matter what facts are presented to you.

Gotta be something to literally every single one of our young pitching prospects is a flaming ball of shit in the Majors this year. They are very clearly not getting any help from the coaching staff. Other then Bubic for a few starts they all look like they are completely and totally lost.

They need to get Bubic back into starting the game. Let him take his lumps and hopefully he can figure it out.

I didn’t take offense.

I tried to offer solid reasoning to what you were missing/unaware of. Understanding I built as a player, as someone who covered major league baseball for a living, and continued to refine even after leaving sports journalism because a good friend of mine traveled with the team and has first-hand knowledge of what the coaches had available/were doing/taking advantage of when it comes to video and analytics.

Said friend is the reason I went to every home playoff game in 2014 for free. In one of his comped seats.

I should have know attempts to expand your knowledge base would be met with you digging in your heels, clapping your hands over your ears, and shouting “nuh-uh”
at the top of your keys. My mistake.

But you don’t get to shit all over this thread with the type of bullshit strawman arguments, making logical leaps, putting words in people’s mouth shit that happens in DC.

You can **** right off.
