He certainly knows plenty. I agree with him often. I disagree, too. Have you NEVER disagreed with any decision he's made?

I've never said Mainieri didn't know a lot about baseball. I just think he's an a-hole and I question why there is seemingly a height limit on recruiting.

I would be interested to hear his thoughts about weight and strength training as well.

His hate for players is a direct correlation to how far he has to look up to speak to them.

Sure I have. And, like you, much of it is based on 20/20 hindsight which I admit to and you won't.

But when I do disagree, I don't run to the Rant like a little bitch and whine about it for hours on end like you do just to try to prove to people who I don't even know how much I know about baseball. I don't need that kind of self-image reinforcement. You do.

I am also experienced and mature enough to know that Mainieri has a whole lot more information about the players than I do. You're delusional to think you know more about the players and their abilities, and their shortcomings, than he and Coach Dunn know.

Sure I have. There was something just last week that I said, "this is hindsight". I can find the link, but I know it's your favorite pastime so have at it.

Not true. I come here to argue and discuss to pass time and I enjoy the back and forth. I get carried away in arguments, sure. Not sure what this has to do with my "self-image".

Of course I don't. Of course they know more than most. I've never said they didn't. But if every person took this stance and kept their mouth shut, this place wouldn't exist. And some things are subjective and others are objective, especially in a game where stats play such a large part. For instance, bunting with no outs and runners on first and second in extra innings and a freshman at the plate with no hits on the season... That's not a "hindsight" or a "well, he knows his players" situation.

Out of curiosity, what's the last thing you've disagreed with him on?
