Diamondbacks Bullpen

Levski -

I want to apologize for my comments yesterday. I thought a lot about what I wrote yesterday, and I was a jerk. I certainly don’t expect you to accept this apology, but regardless, it is ...

Just what I thought.

So what we now know is that you've never played at any level - maybe T-Ball - and you've never even READ - for gosh sake - a book on baseball fundamentals.

But if anyone ...

OK, what baseball fundamentals or instruction books have you read?

You will, of course, come up with an evasive humorous response and won't answer the question.

"However, your argument that you have to have played the game in order to comment on it is complete bullshit. In fact, I believe that in order to comment on the game from the "I have played ...

I said high school level. That was clear, obviously.

And don't pooh pooh the instruction on fundamentals received in girls' fast-pitch softball. I do not enjoy that game, but it is generally ...

So Brian Cashman, Sandy Alderson, Theo Epstein, and Kim Ng never played any type of baseball or fastpitch softball at at least the high school level? I'll bet at least some of them played a little. ...

That is a VERY small number of people. Plus, if you look into their backgrounds, I'm sure you'll find that some - perhaps most - played some ball at some significant level. Regardless, you can ALWAY ...

"BTW, you don't HAVE to know hitting (or pitching) technique to be influential or effective in this sport. Claiming so is rather myopic to say the least. "

Good, back to the subject, and ...

The truth is that I'm tired of reading your stuff, too - all of it. IMO, you add nothing to this board and bore me to tears.

But you have the right to do that.

I have no problem with his number of posts at all. That's obviously not the point.

The point is that he claimed that he wasn't going to "waste his time bullshitting." However, as evidenc ...

Why don't you just flip the channel on your T.V?

Apparently your attitude is: "Don't pay any attention to that person behind the curtain."

"Or maybe I don't have the time to bullshit on threads I don't find interesting." [LEVSKI]

Well we all know you have the time to bullshit - how many posts do you have now? Please!

...

Levski - Your knowledge of statistical analysis is extremely impressive. However, it seems quite likely that your knowledge of the fundamentals of the game of baseball can be fit into a shot glass. Yo ...

Sigh... Just one more time.

For the zillionth time, I'm NOT saying that Seitzer was a good MLB hitting coach. I just wanted to know if there were any details on his firing beyond the mere fact he w ...

"They know how to hit. The hitting coach's job in that situation is to give them scouting advice on pitchers, offer a suggestion here when they see something really wrong and, for the most part, ...

"Dude, how can you tell if a hitting coach EVER did a good job or a bad job?! .....In the end, the job of the hitting coach isn't to re-build a player's hitting mechanics from the ground up. He's ...

"Again - you say there is no evidence - how do you know that to be true?"

What I mean to say is that there is no evidence that has been disclosed. There is no evidence that is - as yet - ...

"Of course there would be a negative consequence - That person would be shut out of whatever inside info there was in the future. It just isnt worth sharing it. "

This IS my point - that ...

"Back to the subject - just because someone hasnt posted something bad about Seitzer - doesnt mean it doesnt exist. Hows that saying go - Absence of evidence isnt evidence of absence?"

I' ...

"Just because someone has an inside source, they dont have to post everything they hear - esp when told not to. It happens all the time."

It's of great interest, that's why. And if there ...

Ok, MovieGeek, why don't you stop the cutesy stuff and tell me why someone with that information who posts to this Board would not want to share that information?

Alternatively, Levski's implicatio ...

If they don't want to share, that obviously means that they are not anonymous to their D-Back sources. (If you are anonymous there is no reason not to share this info.) Which means that what they s ...

"No one said there's been "none of that". Simply, "none of that" made the front page of the AZ Republic. Big difference."

Duh. I was - obviously - asking if anybody h ...

Gosh, I get ripped for asking a simple question! :)

I was not trying to make a point - I was simply trying to find out if anything had actually been said by SOMEBODY about this. I was hoping t ...

Obviously the D-Backs have not been hitting well, and the logical INFERENCE that has been drawn is that Seitzer, the hitting coach is partially responsible.

I could have easily missed something, b ...
