The people Remy really needs to address are the one who <b>weren't </b>offended, the people who casually carry around the sort of bigoted, xenophobic worldview that defines English as "baseball language." There's plenty of wasted time in these mound visits, and it's not limited to any single language.<br /><br />Actually, I would like someone to develop some statistics on ERA and OPS after mound visits.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-39079937099899580732017-06-07T18:53:29.896-07:002017-06-07T18:53:29.896-07:00baseball should get rid of the mound visit because...baseball should get rid of the mound visit because the 30 s rule will never be enforced<br /><br />more ridiculous time wasting.....hrstrat57https://www.blogger.com/profile/02872963136012546386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-12395323457432532162017-06-07T16:06:08.671-07:002017-06-07T16:06:08.671-07:00What's worse is that Remy doesn't write hi...What's worse is that Remy doesn't write his tweets; he has a PR staff that manages his web site who handles it for him. So not only has he still not made a proper apology, his staff has helped prolong this controversy.<br /><br />mattymatty, I think too that Remy meant to say something else about these prolonged mound visits, but he tripped over his words and it came across wrong. He should at least acknowledge his <i>faux pas</i>.FenFanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07093124081174881768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-5174153726299051592017-06-07T11:21:32.308-07:002017-06-07T11:21:32.308-07:00That is a disappointing not-really-an-apology from...That is a disappointing not-really-an-apology from Remy. However, when he said, "learn baseball language" I didn't take that as synonym for English but as finding a way to communicate about baseball, like learning specific words, or even players and coaches learning specific words in Japanese (as in the case of Tanaka). Maybe that's too generous but that's what I got out of hearing it live. mattymattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08291132296368578632noreply@blogger.com
