I would be very sad to see bbscout leave us. I hope that is not the case.

bbscout,

I have always appreciated and respected your input, but I cannot figure out why you started getting personal against Cap'n with the ny-man reference in this thread. I have not met very many of the members of this site personally yet, but I have known Cap'n for several years, have been to his home, met his family, and can tell you he is the kindest, nicest, most generous man I have met through any baseball activities in my life. I sincerely don't know why you would want to become his opponent.

At the risk of expulsion, I feel it's worth the time and effort for us to expose our dirty laundry.

May I say something without persecution?

I've argued with bbscout as much or more than anyone here. Yet, I respect him and I believe he respects me. Even if each has called each other names.

But how do you expect him to stay around with the above comment made publicly?

You don't feel a comment like that should be made privately to a moderator?

When the thought police interfere to the degree they have lately, things will go down hill.

So, yes, I'm saying your comments were more out of line than bbscouts. He made an error. Cap'n and him would've dealt with it.


Of course, maybe you have to have spent time in a few locker rooms to understand how men jab each other.

How do you feel about this being written publicly? Well, I suppose bbscout feels similar.

Son of a gun if I didn't read this thread this afternoon and go out to practice and watch my kid that is my hardest thrower (and wildest) jam his heel... So, how do I fix it? and don't tell me, "Tell him not to come down on his heel so hard." (there's a groucho marx joke in there somewhere)
thanks fellas

The fix is in his pelvis, not his foot or leg.

you guys crack me up

Well come on pimp-master (as the kids would say) you've got to give me more than that.
Rotation too late? too feeble? too early?

Infopimp (Richard),

Yes, in my opinion you can say something like the above to me, without risk of persecution. It's not enjoyable to hear, but you have responsibly stated your opinion and position on something that happened in this forum.

And if you or others believe that my post which you quoted above was out of line, I can accept that, as long as you/they do in fact read what I said: That I respect and appreciate bbscout, but that I wanted to defend a friend who was being unfairly characterized.

If bbscout leaves this site because of what I said, then I apologize not only to him (and I have already sent him a message saying that I am very sorry if I offended him), but I also apologize to present and future members who would lose out by not having him here. It would truly be a loss to this site.

Maybe I put my foot in my mouth and sounded like I was criticizing one person when I was only trying to defend the other. But I still believe in my right as a member to defend a friend publicly against something that was posted publicly.

Okay, the original topic has gone way off track, and I think it's time to move on.

I know that the HSBBWEB and all of it's members would be at a loss if bbscout decides to pull up stakes.
