Yep.  He asked a question.  I provided answers.  They he says "Eh, I don't want to talk about that".

Draw your own conclusions.

That's not what happened.

I asked a question.

You posted a link.

I asked you to put it in your own words.

You said no.

I said never mind then.
Why do you need me to put it in my own words?

Was there something in the article that you didn't understand, and you wanted me to explain it to you?

Safe to say I ruined his day by answering his question, explaining what he wanted to do when he asked said question and then doing it for him before he had a chance to do it himself?

Is that why he's all pouty now?

If you want to talk about how major league hitters can reduce strikeouts we can. Posting a link and then refusing to discuss specifics makes me think you don't want to talk about it.

Either way is fine. Let me know.

Thanks.

Do you think I posted that link because I thought it was complete bullshit?

And oh, by the way, you seem to be the one "refusing to discuss specifics" since all you've done is go on a three page pouting party because I won't summarize it for you.

But if you want to discuss, then OK.  Let's discuss,

What are your thoughts on the article?  What parts (if any) do you agree with?  What parts (if any) do you disagree with?

I don't disagree with much if anything in the article. The article is just tips for cutting down your swing with two strikes. Without looking at it again, I'm assuming that tips he lists are, in fact, ways to shorten a swing.

Do you agree that the article you posted is basically saying, "swing with less power with two strikes?"

As evidenced by your numerous posts on the subject, you seem to think that major league hitters should strike out less.

In your opinion, what should they do in order to strike out less?

They should change their approach to batting with two strikes.  This seems to have some good suggestions on how to do that:

Do you think major league hitters already do those things?

Some do.  A lot don't.  A lot who don't probably should.
