> Can't you say that anything is a "tool?" What does that mean? I have seen people flipping plactic coffee cup lids at batters. The lids float all over the place and the kids are lunging at them, sometimes almost falling over. They are practicing the worst mechanics possible. When I talk to the coach he said "hey, its just one tool."

You cant even compare flipping coffee lids to a good pitching machine. Now your beginning to not make any sense and going way far to the extreme. I know it works and thats enough for me...
