For those that didn't see the other thread let me explain what Louuu is doing. A girl, a child is looking for people who need someone to catch their pitching lesson and will do it for $10 a hour. She would travel to the lesson and back. Seems very reasonable to me. With drive time it could be a couple hours for $10. Lou has a problem with that.
What he said:
"with as much money as parents shell out for pitching lessons already, I think most of them would risk a few bruised shins before forking over more money for a catcher".
"However, two points: 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."
This poll is a continuation of his attack on what this girl is trying to do. It's pathetic. He may not agree or wouldn't pay someone himself but why he is going through so much trouble to sabotage this girl's endeavor is puzzling and sad. He's a grown man, a bully.
Some said they enjoyed catching their kid and wouldn't pay someone which is great. Lucky you but many don't like it or can't always have the time so what's wrong with paying a modest fee? I always enjoyed caring for my kids but sometimes I hired a babysitter to do it? Yea, $10 an hour.
He should have just let the thread pass by as it was no skin off his back.
The girl should be applauded for looking for ways to make an honest buck. We should help her, not hinder her or just stay out of the way.
