Help me understand.
What you are saying is from the knee (I agree is a great receiving position) he is a poor receiver of the baseball currently. As displayed all year.

Conventionally he would be even worse receiving (not sure I know what that looks like)... But if there is the possibility of him not allowing 4 balls per nine innings to get through the wickets and cost you bases/ runs. Wouldn't it be prudent in situational baseball to attempt to give yourself a chance to not cost the team runs. Especially if you are not an elite receiver??

I guess the most frustrating part is not just the deflected fastballs off the glove that he has issues getting to because he is anchored, it is the 0-2 61-foot slider that he knows is getting buried by Guidry that ultimately, he whiffs on and allows an extra base runner when the ball never leaves the framework of his body.

If you are related to Howard Hill a crossbow is not an option!

Easily the most down to Earth description of our pitching approach. Not only does this hit the high points it gives an explanation of the thought process behind it. Our secondary guys/bullpen do not attack the zone whatsoever and fall behind consistently. We have one arm that is capable of living in positive hitting counts while the others can not. They have demonstrated consistently they can not pitch from behind, and they should not be expected to do so. MLB pitchers are comfortable pitching around guys because they are paid to make the pitches when necessary. College pitchers are much more likely to turn one walk into two or three....If our pen is unwilling to attack the zone early and often unfortunately I think we will run out of run way.

It makes me smile seeing someone capable of processing what's actually going on.

Because I will be prepping 5-10 trees prior to hunting season with steps that stay in the tree. Thats the concept

Retired from using spurs....Almost lost an Achilles

They help to an extent. If you have trigger panic with a traditional release, I can imagine you will have a tendency to punch shots with a thumb release initially (anticipating your shot)! Not difficult to overcome with practice. I found personally my groups tend to be tighter with the thumb release.

It is super convenient to be able to hang your release while in the stand.

I tend to go back and forth from a hook style trigger, or my four finger thumb both tru ball releases.
