"Best video on hitting I have ever seen. Forget about Mankin, Englishbey, and Epstein. Definitely on par with Williams and Lau. This guy knows his stuff."

Hehe

I think it's a really good parody of the cocky behaviour of many players(esp latin guys but not only).

He is also has very good fielding fundamentals

Five, if you really thought it was inappropriate . . . did you really think singling out in it's own separate video and post was a logical way of not drawing attention to it for those young ones who might have missed it the first time, or didn't understand that the "tongue in cheek" attempted humor of it was possibly offensive?

Mud ... the intent of course was to draw attention to it. I specifically want to know if such material is deemed acceptable here at BBF.

You might want to start writting letters to all the TV stations that play wall to wall ED commercials.

At least he teaches to tilt the shoulders and to uppercut

.

However I think it was by accident, because the purpose was to demonstrate show off latino MLB playing instead of "sound mechanics"(see the behind the back throws in the fielding vid-since usually it is meant negative if a MLB commentator talks about "he has an uppercut swing").
