MLB Spring Training Tryouts

We’ve got ourselves some amateur vigilantes.




If you scroll up from that comment there’s a second link.  I don’t recommend watching either.  Unless you’re evil like me and are into kicking someone when they’re down.  Both the videos are a reaction to Hubbard’s “prediction” that the Astros would win the World Series.  These could be sports guys looking to make it to the hate video response list.  Spring training for Hubbard to get in good form for  when the big boys come up to the plate for the regular season.  And they do come to the plate.

Just to keep all the material from professional writers together:
Crossing Broad - Philadelphia Eagles
USA Today
Vice Sports

And for good measure, non-sports:
Aliens! (Er...not the Sigourney Weaver movie)

I thought it would be nice to make that collection easily  available.  From people unlike me that actually do get paid to write.  Maybe this is my spring training, too.

I’ve seen the response format often enough and some of the screenshot commentary is typical.  Look like a bad ass. And immediately prove that you aren’t serious.  I checked for the Nicholas Hamilton (not identical gematria to Salochin Notlimah) comment that 10 hours after this comment does not exist.  At least not on the video.  I couldn’t find it on the channel home page, either.  This kind of thing happens a lot.  For example, with recent YouTube problemas para videocas en Espanalo faquito. and lots of suggestions on bypassing them, some chap suggested everyone copy one video to their YouTube channel.  This high ranking official in the minion flowchart proceeded to immediately not upload a video.

Any response is the same format.  It happened with all the professional writers.  You’re wrong.  I’m right because I told you so.  Accuse them of being scared that we’re too close to the truth.  And if you’re feeling really perky throw in an assault and battery dialogue.  Or in the case of the amateur critics deem them unworthy of your time.  Either way any criticism is turned into a positive, my favorite is the USA Today article being thrown in to future commentary as “Yeah, I’m famous.  I made it into a USA Today article!”  Then whine when your video is flagged.

I do to a degree admire the willingness to stick up for yourself.  But once you get that much attention from the evil mainstream media if you don’t get a clue that you’re wrong you deserve everything that is coming to you.  The spring training tryout videos aren’t mainstream.  Except of course they’ll forever be labeled shills.  At last count several billion people are paid shills by this logic.  And I’m still doing this for free.  Can’t I at least get free season tickets?

This also gives the opportunity to introduce something else about Patreon.  As uploading videos to them seems to be the proposed solution to feed the minions who are so desperately aching for new battery threats.  Remember, until amended or repealed free speech in the Constitution is about the relationship between the government and the people.  It has nothing to do with how video hosting
services operate unless it’s really screwed up like kiddie porn or such. Patreon’s guidelines are, as I imagine anyone who hosts videos specific about harassment and bullying.
https://www.patreon.com/guidelines

So in theory this solves nothing.  If you put up a video that crosses the guidelines (like assault and battery) over someone else exercising their free speech, it gets deleted,  you’re probably going to lose if it comes to court over censorship.  It might be time to just hang up the cleats.
