> Good were making progress.Now that you aknologe that big leaguers dont relate to your concepts (forget terminology thats not important) but Im sure you will agree that big leaguers DO talk about things you violently disagree with, for example, taking nob to the ball, fence drill, throing hands.Now if big leaguers practice these concepts you disagree with, and big leaguers do not practice the concepts you promote, shouldnt that tell you something? Huh, huh?

What does 'staying in side the ball' mean? Thats something the pros talk about too.
