On two sites BHL had generated with this way out issue, including his own, over 120 postings. As I recall, only two short postings supported his position. So you shouldn't be surprised that he is able to delare victory ("case closed") with one extreme example, ignore logic, criticisms, and your best arguments.

BHL, i don't know why i bother, maybe it just annoys me that you evade the questions & the issues, i don't know....but i'll try again...

1...most of us except maybe Medicine Ball Man agree that 340'is shorter than 400'...that's not the issue...the issue is the optimal way to contact the ball depending on pitch location...

2...you have not responded to my pointing out to you the illogic of sating that what one hitter does therefore applies to all hitters...

3....and if you want to go back to the issue of whether your way is workable or not, why have you never responded to my challenges in the past...one time you agreed to may challenge of getting in the batter's box and pulling various inside and outside pitches, all standing x amount of distance from the plate..you acccepted the challenge and reported that the outside pitches were not hit as well as the inside pitches...you then suggested that the solution to keeping your idea afloat was to simply crowd the plate....when i pointed out that standing 3 inches from the plate would likely result in a hitter receiving a pitch in his ear, i never heard (no pun intended) from you ....

if you insist on promoting this concept, i think you should do the following:

1.....don't evade people's questions.....

2.....don't proclaim that one example here and there proves your case, because for every example here and there that you cite in support of your case, someone else can come up with 10 cases here and there that undermine your case.....

3.....i shouldn't do this, because you are a polite person snf i know what you seek is TRUTH, but whst do you suppose the reaction would me if you were to promote this theory of yours at The Other Site?

P.S...it's been years since we have heard from your brother!
