No sense in trying to climb a mountain that has no peak.

Go Owls and Gayle in particular. Would love to see some of you eat your words.

There's a huge difference between disagreeing with someone's opinion and explaining why you disagree, and sarcastically telling them they should be baseball GMs. Or to suggest that someone's lack of BP experience disqualifies them from judging someone's execution on the field.

And you also shouldn't be surprised that people you disagree with you don't kowtow to your opinion/thoughts.

Some of us have explained why we disagreed. The sarcasm comes after it is evident that do not know what they are talking about.

And others are still in denial about the fact that we have declined over the last decade significantly.

Starting with this giant logical hole, we're supposed to kowtow to supposed expertise?

Lad clearly did not read the previous posts.

There are not many educated baseball opinions being offered here. When one is and it's not what people want to hear the sky begins to fall.

I expect no one to take my thoughts as gospel, that is foolish.

The signs of decline have been evident for years. You are absolutely right that some still deny the facts. Sometimes it seems that the ones that can't see the decline also have the best eye for the game.

It is a little more than the lack of BP that is in question. Anyone can go to the cages, in fact if you need some BP here are some places near Rice.

I think the point Chade and RiceOwl are making is that it is unfair to cast judgement on kids that have far exceed the talent that many of us posses in this forum. If you disrespect the players maybe you should get off the forum.

Where exactly is the evidence? And I probably played baseball through a higher level than you did. Even The OG commented on more than one occassion that he respected my knowledge of the game.

Can you find an example of anyone doing either of those things on this thread?

Stating that a player didn't do well, or needs more development, is neither judgmental nor disrespectful.

Also by this metric, the only person qualified to talk about football on earth is Tom Brady (or insert your choice of GOAT).

This is an artificial scarcity thing again. The 25(0) used this to justify the crap going on in football - only those who play are "qualified"

So being critical of someone's performance is now being disrespectful?

This forum is pretty darn good about giving players their due when they perform well, and even when they perform poorly, because we all know how difficult of a job they have balancing their athletic requirements and academic requirements. But that difficult juggling act doesn't mean we shouldn't be allowed to evaluate how well someone pitches.

Saying that someone's level of talent dictates who can criticize them based off of that other person's talent is idiotic. You're right that there are often portions of the game that those who didn't play it overlook, but your logic is flawed. Even the best athletes in the world are coached by people with less skill than them.

Those who can't do, teach.

Obviously exceptions to any rule but there is plenty of truth in that statement.
