    • Get this through your head once and for all.  Stop.  Just stop.  You are embarrassing yourself.  No JH is not squatting 800 pounds, nor is he deadlifting 800 pounds...which is actually easier.  And not even close. NOT EVEN CLOSE.   For you to believe he does this tells me a lot about what you are willing to believe....which seems to be anything as long as it fits your narrative.   The best of the best power lifters in the world....as in the people that devote their lives to power lifting, have trouble squatting even 550 pounds and deadlifting over 600 pounds.  And again, I am talking people that devote their every waking moment to power lifting.   Do you honestly think a 185 pound baseball player is squatting and deadlifting more than guys that do it professionally?  Do you honestly believe that the Orioles management is going to let him even try that kind of weight?  That is called SNAP city.  And trust me none of that weight would even budge if he tried.   Here is a video where he says his max bench is 300.  And he says he THINKS he can do that and in addition he has the use of pads and the slingshot...which makes it way easier.  Just for reference, I have max benched 425 and I am 51 years old and only weigh 210. He also says his max squat is 445 or so.  That is nothing.  I can tell you 10000000000000000s of guys, including me, who have squatted more.  Much more.  So just stop with the hyperbole.  He is not some super strong kid.  He lifts about what every kid who lifts his size does.   Forgetting the fact that he gets the top of the top training that most kids don't. Here is what squatting 800 pounds really looks like...ok?  This is maybe the most powerful powerlifter of all time.   Just stop.  Stop.  I don't want to embarrass you more.  
    • Bowlers are elite athletes. They walk 2 feet and throw a ball then go sit down until it's their turn again. They know what an elite athlete looks like.
    • Please stop talking about you.  No one gives a f*** about anything to do with your life, your bowling ball, your wife or anything else you try to pat yourself on the back about.  Your life is meaningless to the rest of us.  Get that through your head. And yes, fields can be an issue and he is a good fielder.  You don’t know what you are talking about.  Again, get that through your head. He has had scouts, people around the game, etc…laud him for his defense and talk about how well he moves. He is learning and likely making dumb mistakes, like all players do.    Errors mean very little without context and that is a well accepted opinion around the game.    Have your doubts all you want..much less everything else you say on here, your take will look dumb soon enough.  
    • Thank you for taking the time to make this post. It  is well thought out and well researched.  You make some compelling arguments.  
    • I was thinking of a Title for the Autobiography: From Marbles to the Bowl-O-Rama My Ever Growing Balls.
    • What you don't like the take from our resident professional bowler who was all state in like 10 sports, with a smokeshow for a wife?
