Option is irrelevant. She posted an offer for a service. He posted why, they could do the service themselves and that the cost was too high. No, he doubted that there would be many takers and figured that "most" parents would take some bruises to save some money. If you look at the poll he was correct. Take the Staples and Legal Zoom out of my example. It said you could incorporate on your own. You seriously can't see that as hindering her offer??? Nope. You can incorporate on your own just like you can catch your own child, or you can pay for both, or you can find someone to incorporate you or catch your kid for free. It's about what it's worth to you.
Don't know how you missed that he thought the fee was too high. Here is what he said:
A.) I have machine operators working for me with 5 years experience who don't make $10/hour.
- and B.) Pitching lessons are what? $35-$40 per hour (and more) So instead of spending $160-ish a month, you're now at $200 a month, + gas, etc... In my part of Ohio, that's substantial. Lou stated fact concerning his workers. He also stated fact about lessons. I never saw where he said the fee was too high. You are insinuating that little tid-bit. I took it as Lou wondering how someone making a small amount of money could afford an additional amount for a catcher. We "read" it differently.
