August 31, 200323 yr Can you throw 85 MPH? Can you hit an 85 MPH pitch? Can you catch an 85 MPH pitch? Can you hit a 330 FT. HR? Probably not. Try doing it at 14-years-old. Punks. Josh, you're a freaking dreamer man. Real ballplayers don't brag about their abilities on a forum. Thats why I don't do it. You don't know me. You don't know my accomplishments or what I do now. I suggest you shut the hell up. Why do you sweat yourself so much? I bet you really suck in person. I'd love to give you a few pointers though if you ask nicely. As for me? This is all I will tell you. I take 150 swings a day from each side in the cages. 85 mph is a joke. When I was 15, I was playing vasity ball and traveling to Puerto Rico in the RCL and the Tamiami leagues as well and having Leo Posada as my instructor. Boca Raton does not breed ball players. Maybe 1-2 pitchers but thats it. You are a joke. In Boca you don't face Dominicans & Cubans like in SW Miami. You are not a ballplayer. You are a DREAMER. Heres some advice, little boy. When I was 15, everyday when I came from school I practiced with my brother, I didn't post 600000 posts on a forum. I took 200 grounders, hit downs, soft toss, tee work and my arm was sore every single day. My bathtub would be stained with clay from the field and my school socks and boxers were f***ing orange. I loved it all. You need to get off your skinny a**, stop dreaming and start working if you want to brag about being a badass ballplayer. I hope my advice helps. Take heed. well said :thumbup
August 31, 200323 yr castro has the biggest head ive ever seen does he have special made helmets? lol, its not his head its his chin! That thing is extremely big.
August 31, 200323 yr yeah but josh is doing this at the tender age of 14, all while posting a record 5500 posts in 3 months his determination is inspiring
August 31, 200323 yr When I was 15, everyday when I came from school I practiced with my brother, I didn't post 600000 posts on a forum. And you don't know me, either. For YOUR information, I almost do the same thing as you. My brother, Cody (15), is an actual player who may become a MLer one day. So, my father bought a 60 Ft. batting cage and put it in our backyard. We each hit 3 buckets of 50 balls per a day. He hits at 90 and I hit at 80. I do not have the aspiration to play ML ball one day, because I know I don't have that kind of ability. But my brother does, so I help him practice everyday. And before this weekend I hadn't been on the forums in a week. Like I said before summer ended, I posted a ton because I had nothing to do all summer long. Now that I'm in school and have football practice everyday, I hardly ever get to come on.
August 31, 200323 yr I throw at normal speed. mid 70's almost 80 sometimes but i have a great curveball. Back to the topic. This is going to get locked at any moment now.

September 1, 200323 yr Real ballplayers don't brag about their abilities on a forum. Thats why I don't do it. Umm... As for me? This is all I will tell you. I take 150 swings a day from each side in the cages. 85 mph is a joke.

September 1, 200323 yr Its sad you've wasted 1500$ and another $500 on nets and balls for a machine if you're not serious. It was never really for me, but more for my brother. He's one of those players that's dominant at every level of baseball he plays. He won Boca High's team triple crown award as a freshman. He's a 5-tool CFer. Over the summer, he also dominated the Junior Olympics. I don't know if you follow the junior olympics or not. lol.
September 1, 200323 yr no not that one the other picture, yours is aj burnett, sorry man im just gettin used to this, im usally on espn message board The Pic you are reffering to is called an avatar. Your Avatar is Blank. Give me your Screen name so i can help you.
September 1, 200323 yr allright guys...i will move this over to off topic... feel free to continue this banter back and forth.

I loved it all. You need to get off your skinny a**, stop dreaming and start working if you want to brag about being a badass ballplayer. Look who's calling the kettle black. look whos calling the kettle black yourself you idiot. BTW thats a stupid cliche. I didnt brag about anything or any of my abilities. I did not state what I do now or how far I have gone with baseball. I was just letting him know what I did when I was his age, so he can get some advice on what serious players are doing out there that are his same age. The world doesnt revolve around boca raton you know. I was arguing against him and giving him advice you freaking moron. Theres a difference between that and bragging. I did not bring this subject up. He is the one that started acting like he's an all star. You're a freaking moron, get your facts straight, down rodeo.
September 1, 200323 yr He is the one that started acting like he's an all star. I am, but besides the point...
September 1, 200323 yr look whos calling the kettle black yourself you idiot. I don't recall ever talking about my athletic abilities on this board. By the way, no need for the name-calling. I was arguing against him and giving him advice you freaking moron. Theres a difference between that and bragging. brag (brg) v. intr. 1. To talk in a self-admiring way If recounting tales of clay-stained bathtubs and orange boxers is not talking in a self-admiring way, then I don't know what is. I have to admit though, that is some good advice. Are you listening Wild Card? If your boxers aren't orange, then you aren't playing hard enough!
September 1, 200323 yr If your boxers aren't orange, then you aren't playing hard enough! so in other words Wildcard, if you dont s*** your pants every once in a while and dont have a strange diet that will make it orange, you'll never make it
