Hi Jack,

> I am just wondering if Epstein has hired a promotions department? I wish everyone could have heard Epstein talk for the last few years and see how much he has changed. I also want to make note that all the people who visit your site should ask questions, instead of thinking they invented baseball. Jack is pretty fair with most posts, but I have to tell you BHL, you are nothing but a mouthpiece for Epstein. I personally do not know him and do not discount how much he cares or tries to help kids. Regardless, I do have this to say and read this carefully, Jack is 100% right when it comes to how to get the bat through the zone. I do not Just because you are able to articulate and type well, does not make you an expert or lend validity to your opinions. Although, I do think you long worded answers expose how well you type.

John, No need to pick on Mike, just as there was no need for anyone to pick on Jack. Both guys have spent lots of time studying the swing and then have spent time passing on their knowledge to others. BHL is just trying to learn and at this point in time his hero is Epstein, just as Teacherman's hero is Nyman. I have learned from many people over the years.......a lot from some and a little from others. Mechanics are a fun thing to discuss, and they are fun to work on as a player, but in the long run, most of us wish we had talent.
