The greatest Twitter post ever????

Comments are mean to hysterical. I think a fair amount of criticism should go to Jeff Trout's "flips", to be fair I also apply his post flip "technique" 

I saw this this morning.  Great stuff.  There were definitely some hitting gurus who didn't get the joke and critiqued "the kids" swing...."Aim for the L screen" was one of them.  It looks like a bunch of people have now deleted their responses.

Who's Mike Trout?

Trout is obviously the greatest but his dad's toss technique is not great and quite dangerous, stay behind the screen and only stick the arm out to the side

LOL "not great" is the most generous thing that could be said about it...very very kind.

but hey if the hitter has big swing flaws not a surprise the flipper needs some work as well!! I am sure twitter will help them both!

Tremendous! Some of us know a better way for anyone

My first thought was most HS coaches I know would say quit swinging for the fence.  Launch Angle does not work.  Just hit for average.  At our HS practice, most of those balls would not make it out of the turtle because our coaches push it so far forward that a good HR hits the top every time.

I think it's kind of great that the man who sired and raised Mike Trout can't use an L screen properly. That was my takeaway from the vid. Everyone makes mistakes, even the father of a baseball god.

Jeff Trout played minor league ball and that's what makes it funny for me

Maybe that's how trout developed his launch angle, he didn't want to hit his dad into the balls
