My opinions on this board are very merely opinions. Am I prone to over-emotional hot takes in the game threads? Ab-so-friggin-lutely. Do I reflect upon those 'hot takes' and tone down my ephemeral feelings and search for positives in the Minor League Link reports I literally write twice a week all season? Absolutely. Do my opinions change on players? Absolutely.

This embodies why I am here, the fact that we have  our opinions and takes, and I can pretend to be the prospect evaluator, and I love that we have our own biases ( I have been prone to rail on a few prospects in that parent/coach trying to coax the best out of their kid/athlete).  I think the fact that we can have hot takes, be over the top at times is what makes at least the minor league forum so fun. 

But that is my opinion, but would hazard a guess that several other may feel similarly (or at least I hope, since they tolerate my rantings at times)

I mean, for real @wiguy94. Just for perspectives sake. I imagine you are likely in your 20's. Maybe approaching 30. I am 47 years old and have two children. Believe me when I say: My opinions on this board are very merely opinions. Am I prone to over-emotional hot takes in the game threads? Ab-so-friggin-lutely. Do I reflect upon those 'hot takes' and tone down my ephemeral feelings and search for positives in the Minor League Link reports I literally write twice a week all season? Absolutely. Do my opinions change on players? Absolutely. Was my Made experience instructive? Absolutely. But, again, my opinions - as they form; as they evolve; as they change - are just opinions. AND, none of this is serious. This is purely just baseball. I am a father, husband, and full time farmer first and foremost. And, I have gone on record 10's of times to state: I only want what is best for these players, their families, and  the Brewers org. I definitely come last.

He never passes up a chance to take a shot at another poster over their comments.  Don't feel alone, he did it to me in the major league game thread tonight.

Explain to me how this is taking a shot at you?

It's written in a condescending tone.  I think you can recognize that.  I'd give you the benefit of the doubt because how things are written can be misinterpreted, but in my 23 years on this board since it was created and several years on the ESPN board before that, I can honestly say that you are on the Mount Rushmore of condescending posts toward others.

There's an old saying, "It's not what you say, it's how you say it."  I suggest you take a long look at how you address other posters.
