Back in my day…the only reason a player looked into the stands was to scan for skirts. Today they are looking for daddy’s approval. What has this world come to. #playerstodayaresofterthanamypillow

Over the last 10 years the number of catchers with an avg pop time of 2 or less has more than tripled. This is absolute bulljunk! Back in my day…the manager would have precision thumbs and a Seiko stopwatch! I just don’t trust today’s technology! baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/po…

In the 1956 Olympics the gold medal winning 100m sprint time was 10.5 seconds. In the 2020 Olympics it was 9.8. These Omega Timing lasers and sensors are bull junk! A lot like radar guns today! statista.com/statistics/109…

I don’t agree with everyone from my day. I like the bigger bags but think they should have expanded home plate by 6 inches too! This robozone and umpire accountability is BULL JUNK! Get back to the good ole’ days Manfred and expand home plate too! nbcsports.com/mlb/news/maddu…

This is bulljunk. The radar guns have been rigged for the last 15 years! Back in my day…players measured velo like real baseball men. Mono a Mono. Pitcher a Motorcyle. I’ve heard Nolan Ryan averaged 105 with the motorcycledar! You can’t rig the motorcycledars Manfred!

Back in my day…we played 25 games a year and were coached by Dads. Kids today play 100 games a year and are coached by former pro players but have no baseball sense. Players today are pathetic and too worried about their next home run cele! BULLJUNK era of baseball!

Just got my grandkids Perfect Game schedule for Sunday.8am, 10am, & 4pm if they advance. As a kid,I was up everyday milking the cows at 4am.Seems to me, if Perfect Game wanted to create mentally tough ball players they would add a 6am game and make it 4 games for the day! Soft!

Umm..depending on one’s measure for pitchability, today’s guys pitch as well as they ever have. BB/9 3rd lowest since 1990, K/9 4th highest ever, 8th lowest ERA since 1990, held hitters to the 7th lowest BA ever. This old head narrative is tired and nonsensical.

Back in my day we spent hours with my friends trying to throw rocks as far as we could across the river. The rocks were different sizes/weights. The ground was muddy, wet, slippery. We weren’t paying for that, obviously, but the objective was much the same. Throw the piss out of

Old heads in the 70s said the same about the 80s. 80s the same about the 90s. It’s all “oldtimers” disease…also known as forgetting about the realities of yesteryear. But let’s entertain this…what metrics can we site beyond our “gut” that says play has diminished. I’ll start.

The culture of complaining and excuse making that has been perpetuated by social media(and led by politicians) over the last 10 years is absolutely insane. I now see it more pervasive than ever in coaching at all ages. Kids have an excuse for every loss. A complaint about every

This is an awful take. The proliferation of political marketing leveraging athletes(for or against their cause) is gross. To despise an all time great athlete b/c he didn't like a president or a political parties stance is gross. The political virus that has corrupted sports and

Don’t sleep on the northeast and midwest! When adjusted on a per hs player basis here is the ranking as it relates to developing elite prep talent based on the last four MLB drafts.(Talent depth would be a different measure.)Next Level Baseball Johnny Wholestaff Trent Mongero NorCalU
