Kind of a big fan of praise in public reprimand in private myself. Buck is a master at it.

Absolutely. My Dad was tough but he never embarrassed kids when he coached them. He saved his tirades for the umpires. There's nothing to be gained by yelling in someones face, man or boy.

He is an internet tough guy.

He sounds like the type of guy they do Documentaries about. The mom making her daughter go to beauty pageants, the dad who had no talent at sports forcing his son to work day and night to fulfill the dream he couldn't obtain.

Austin Jackson is terrible I'm surprised they traded for him. He just swings right through pitches. Theres a ton of complaining in here about Tillman but he has a shutout. Not sure why everyone is so negative.

LOL. Dude you are one of the most negative people on the game thread everyday

Nobody is asking him to act like a crazy man but you have to hold guys accountable. I coach my sons travel ball team and better believe if I had a player hitting that poorly I'd be in his face after bad ABs.

Wow... just wow.. let's just say if I saw you coaching my son (well, if I had a son) like this that I might be ummmmm in your face. That's not how you coach kids.... or really anyone.

Volunteer Little League umpires? Hopefully not.

He just hasn't had anyone get in his face yet about it.

      Draft Targets 2 Months Out

      By RZNJ · Posted

      I’d be very surprised too but it’s all about talent and where you draft.  At 22 it’s tough to get high ceiling talent.  I’d guess Brecht is a reliever at the next level but he’s got dominant reliever upside.  His stuff, reportedly, is as good as any pitcher in the draft.  95 strikeouts in 55 innings as a starter.

      He's already a HOF.  It's just that his injuries have killed his chances of being an Inner Circle HOF.

      With three more hits today, Etzel is at .360/.992. He has 171 MiLB at bats, so a third of a season. Which projects to a full season with:  513 AB 111 R 39 2B 12 3B 12 HR 114 RBI 93 BB 123 SO 90 SB 21 CS .339 AVG .445 OBP .532 SLG Not too shabby!

      Why I don't fully trust Catch Probability

      By brooks1083 · Posted

      I would love for someone to explain or justify to me how in the world Mullins catch on 4/15 is listed at 65% catch probability. There are a couple of guys in the league that make that catch but it’s a very short list. Maybe I just don’t understand the stat.

      Cade Povich 2024

      By Punchandjudy · Posted

      Not sure a pitcher technically can get “squeezed” by the automated strike zone but Povich had a number of borderline pitches tonight that could go the other way.  Handley was visibility perturbed by a few of the calls on walks and Povich doubled over in disbelief on a couple of walk calls. He reminds me a little of Tom Glavine how he throws, his wind up, how he hides the ball and how it explodes out his hand….sort of effortless. I heard the announcer for the Sound say Povich’s curveball hasn’t had a hit against it all year long and every other pitch is around .100 batting avg against.  In person, his fastball has a lot more giddy up than the radar shows.  98 pitches tonight and looks like he has a rubber arm.

      a game you'd hope Mullins, Mountcastle or Santander would step up and were let down.
