Yep, put me in the Devil category too. I use machine for bunting, curve balls (especially for kids who are about 13 and starting to see some curves.. A manager can run balls thru it for some fly balls over the OF head... And we do a drill I call matchstick where you imagine you had a matchstick sticking out of your bellybutton, the machine throws pitches past you and you try to get as close to the ball without swinging to simulate the inside pitch and letting it pass under your hands...
AD asked me a few years ago how long my machines would last and I told him forever as little use as they get
You could take away my machine and I'd shrug my shoulders but you'd have to pry my tees out of my cold, dead... Isn't that how the saying goes
