Because he tweeted that hiring a woman to the coaching staff was a huge mistake. (giants hired a woman (partly) to say kaplar wasn't sexist or whatever because of the allegations from when he was a dodgers minor league manager) Huff referenced the fact he wore a thong in the lockerroom during the playoffs in 2010 and how he wouldn't have been able to do so with a woman around lolol Then he said "imagine taking hitting advise from someone who failed at softball" and then tagged some veterans He then continued to double down on the issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom cody Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Heard that about Huff, no surprise there. His twitter account is a bit of a tire fire IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of coaches in many sports never played the sport above high school or low level college. You don't need to have played the sport at a high level to support and advance technique and approach. Bill Belicheck was a center and tightend for a Division III school. Should have NFL players not listened to him since he never had to tackle or cover NFL talent?

I think it’s more surprising he thought there was a chance he would be invited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other people have already told you why your logic is flawed, but just to further pile on with how garbage this take is: In softball, you throw from 43 feet. In baseball, it's 60.5 feet. Per the 8 seconds of google it would have taken you to avoid this terrible post, you need to be throwing 63 mph to even make D1 softball, which would be the same as an 89 mph FB in baseball. If anyone even touched 68 mph while she was playing, that's the same as 95. So yeah, she's seen plenty of velocity. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huff is just a dumbass. What's ironic about this is that, based on Huff's twitter account, I'm sure if you told him "those who can't do, teach" he'd agree with you. And then on the other hand, he's dismissing someone's ability to teach based on what they can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spin, trajectory (the ball going up vs. down on fastballs, downward breaking balls vs. rise/sliders in softball) would be a much better argument. Velocity has nothing to do with it. They're totally different swings/approaches. That said, maybe she's awesome and maybe she's awful. I don't have any idea, as I'm not in the building to see whether or not this is the case.

flyguy1609 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 According to Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune, the Padres are still talking to the Red Sox about a possible trade involving Wil Myers. Myers was linked to the Red Sox as part of the Mookie Betts trade talks, but the possibility is still alive even though the former AL MVP ended up with the division rival Dodgers. In fact, Acee writes that talks have been ongoing in the past two days, with the Padres hoping to get the Red Sox to pick up about half of the $61 million remaining on Myers' contract. Cal Quantrill is also a target of the Red Sox, though Luis Campusano and Gabriel Arias have been involved as well. It's unclear who the Padres would receive in return, but it appears they are mostly motivated to secure some salary relief. https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sports/padres/story/2020-02-18/padres-red-sox-wil-myers-cal-quantrill-trade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
