TPM

Barb,
I think it would be great if you reopened your thread.
While I fully appreciate that TR had nothing to offer in the thread and seems to just want to be a contrarian when you post, who cares?
If is clear he has nothing of any substance to offer on your topic, and he did not offer anything of substance.
Others on this site have son's that are new to Milb, like RHP. Others have sons they are hoping soon to be new to Milb. RHP provided wonderful insights into the process and feelings.
I would encourage you to reconsider.
There is so much for others to enjoy from your thread. Most recognize TR has nothing to offer on the topic. It happens all the time. Roll Eyes

Remember that beauty is in the eye of the beholder as is the knowledge/advice or supposed knowledge/advice that is offered on many sites--

I will consider your personal slurs on the basis of where they come from

As for TPM who is she to state that I have no right to post as I do--I still say baseball is not the most difficult job. Does she s think she is some sort of Reigning GOD on this site--people should only know

TPM, you're going to let someone run you off your post????

Please reconsider and ignore those that bother you.

Believe it or not, I have learned from both of you.

Sometimes my posts are viewed as negative or in some cases lighthearted but I truly believe too many people take baseball too seriously (pre-college ball). Sometimes I like to lighten up a subject, life is too short folks.

Thank you.

PUHD,
There probably are places where TR has good info to offer.
However, his personalizing, badgering and insults to TPM isn't one of them. It isn't needed and it flies in the face of the anti-flaming rules on the board.
It is intriguing that TR is such a proponent of free speech except for folks like TPM and then he shouts them down, belittles them and attempts to make himself big by using, regularly, the following: "Does she s think she is some sort of Reigning GOD on this site--people should only know"
Only TR knows why he follows TPM posting around this site, attempts to belittle both her posts and belittle her personally, and then follow it with indignation and insults to others and TPM, as he does here.
Too bad.
On balance, my view is this site does not need TRhit, he needs this site.

TPM, reopen your post so others can learn from your and DK's experience.

Everyone is well aware that TR has nothing better to do than badger you on here, and it speaks volumes of his character. I am most certain that those in charge are very aware of his antics on here. This constant badgering and belittling of his needs to be stopped immediately.

Infieldad, very astute statement. He needs this site, it doesnt need him. Without this site he would wither away into oblivian.

Bulldog, one can only take pot shots for so long until provoked to come out swinging. I can't blame her for doing so.

Let's just call a spade a spade. He flat makes a living off this site, probably the only one I know of, and wanders around peeing in everbody's Cheerios. I don't understand why he's still here, frankly.

I recognize TRhit on this web site. When able, I check many of his blogs. His experiences with over 1000 amateur HS players after he retired from a career in hard hat construction, illustrates his no-nonsense, tell it like it is, blue collar reality approach.

I ignore TPM posts and have for some time.
They offer very little to me. IMHO she
wears rose colored classes. Her experiences with amateur HS players and minor leaguers is very limited and may only include her talented son, (who signed for over $3/4 M in 2007).
That does not make a difference to me, yet she is unable to understand nor have experience MiLB's who signed for a cupcake, and are struggling financially
while getting after their dreams.

Keep posting TR, I'll enjoy reading them.
Yet as we both get older, greyer, and fatter,
I am also enjoying more and more, my grandchildren.

Bear,
Now that is hysterical.
$3-4 M in 2007?
Amazing, just amazing.
I do think you and TR should keep on enjoying each other and finding great joy in constantly criticizing a Mother who posts here.
At least provide comments with reasonably accurate information please. Just "reasonably accurate" would be a nice start.

No more experience than most of the Posters on here...ho hum. Just because he retired from a construction job doesn't give him any creedance.

I can't speak for her but if I were a betting man, I'd bet she is probably very happy that you DO ignore her posts.

IMO, her experiences with her son most likely surpasses 90% of the rest of us on here. Most of us only have a son playing college, HS, or LL ball. Her input about MiLB on here has been invaluable to the rest of us.

That does not make a difference to me, yet she is unable to understand nor have experience MiLB's who signed for a cupcake, and are struggling financially
while getting after their dreams.

Good Lord. What has this got to do with the price of eggs in china? Playing MiLB ball is playing MiLB ball! Every young man has his own experience and struggle. They all have 1 goal - the Show! What a ridiculous remark.

This site should not be about a popularity contest as you guys are making it out to be. Each poster on here has his or her own experiences and opinions, and are free to share them without having to wonder how it will be accepted. Quit looking down your long noses and choose to be a positive influence on here.

Just my 2 cents. I do not post much and stumbled upon this site 2 years ago. My son who is a senior will be pitching at texas state in the fall. When he was being recruited villanova was interested in him. I posted on "ask about colleges" wanting some info on coach Godri and the villanova program. The following morning I received a pm from TRhit and his phone number. I called him and we spoke and shared baseball stories for over 1 hour. This is a man whom I never knew. He was engaging and passionate about the game. he gave me the positives and negatives about villanova. We have spoken since regarding my other son. He is a guy who cares about the kids and will do anything possible to help them. He offered one of our high school kids a spot on his roster so he could get exposure at jupiter. TRhit cares about the boys and to me nothing else matters..

Lowfog, no one is taking away how much TR has helped people on here. He along with many others who are in the baseball "business" willingly do it. Unfortuntely you haven't been around long enough to watch him in rare form when he disagrees or wants to lob an attack on a poster. I'm glad that he helped you out. THAT is what this site should be about each and every day. Not launching attacks on Posters for entertainment.
