Lefty Leger: 'He just carves people up'

Yes I figured you were. I always assume most stadiums' guns are juiced to some extent.

I have found the UH gun to be on the mark.

Gunner at 7-1 so far, will get at least six more starts and could finish 13-1. I am wondering what is the record for season wins and can't find that on line. Anybody have a link?

Gary Haught 14 wins

There is a correct way to set up guns for maximum accuracy. The same angle and trajectory of the moving object is most accurate. I've seen stationary guns set up all over the place. Scouts can get ____ed if you move them from "their spot".

So you thinking they will reserve those seats right behind homeplate for scouts when reseating begins?

From what I've seen in person, there is little interest in accommodating scouts. I watched four of them removed from standing directly behind my 3rd row home plate seat 1st game of the year, scouting Gunner.

"We get in any ballpark in the state and can sit or stand where we want.", one told game management. "This isn't any ballpark.", the scout was told, right before police kicked them out. The athletic dept. generally has no love for MLB, much of which is justified, imo. Without being a top 3rd or 4th rounder, the experience usually does not end well.

I know I am totally biased and don't know how I would feel if I was in their shoes but you are absolutely right. If you are a lower round pick you are most probably just going to be a filler in a low minor league. Then in a few years you are out and without a degree.

Or you go back to school on your own dime.

In at a DC meeting a few weeks ago Robe went on a mini-rant regarding scouts. He started getting visibly heated just mentioning scouts. He doesn't like them.

""He doesn't like them." is putting it mildly. He regards them as talent thieves, cheating student-athletes out of degrees, paying them 3rd world wages, leaving them broke, looking for work with a high school diploma. MLB needs hundreds of organizational players to play while the few Blake Trahans and Jon Lucroys get ready for big league baseball.

MLB has a college tuition plan for high school kids that is rarely ever used. College isn't for everybody, but benefits more than it does not.

Rant over.

I was there for that as well. He was basically saying that the scouts tend to give players this faux image of the big leagues and avoid mentioning some of the hardships of playing in the minor leagues such as the travel (on a bus) and hotel accommodations to which he has a valid point. These scouts will basically pander until they don't need you anymore and throw you right out.
