Landon Johnston replied to Sam Welsh's discussion Do Donuts Hurt or Help
"It's not really an argument. Sports Science did a scientific study on it a few years back and found that using a donut, or any form of weight on your bat, while on deck only helps you loosen up your muscles, not have a faster swing. Your bat…"

Landon Johnston replied to David LeVine's discussion Bad Umping
"Classic stuff Kevin and Patrick! If I heard a coach threaten to call my assigner I would A) Laugh in his face until I couldn't breathe; B) Laugh some more, then; C) Toss his ass all the way to the parking lot. My assigner would probably get a…"

Landon Johnston replied to David LeVine's discussion Bad Umping
"No, Steve. I do not. Do you always tell your wife when she's pissing you off? Of course not. Otherwise you'd be single like me! The point is we have lots of thoughts that we don't share but it doesn't mean that's not how we…"

Landon Johnston replied to David LeVine's discussion Bad Umping
"This is all well and good but a good coach teaches his players to overcome everything, including shitty umpires. I can't tell you how comical it is to me to see coaches allow their players to blame umps for losing games. You know what those…"
