Not blaming Fisher, with 2 outs hes going on contact, when it got through I was already chalking up the run. I'm not asking for back to back 2 out hits I'm making them make a perfect throw which they did, tip the cap. It was the right move though
I dont even think it was intentional. I retaliate for two reasons. One, I'm protecting Prince and showing him I have his back and we arent going to sit on our hands as he eats chin music. Two, like pretendastronaut said I'm going to make Z hesistant from coming up and in again because he doesnt wanna get tossed
i could really care less if it was intentional or not, its not okay to do, accident or not, and there are consequences for throwing near my franchise players face. I wouldn't want you as a teammate
So what, you protect your guy regardless, you see how Prince looked into the dugout? I really dont think Prince cares at all if it was intentional or not, there was a fastball thrown near his head, you retaliate, period
Did anyone hear Ash on the radio pregame? I caught the tail end of it but it sounded like he was describing a pitcher and I got the vibe it was a minor leaguer being called up, I could be way off on that. He was describing a sinkerballer being moved to the rotation, is Dillard being called up?
Don't know what's going on here but I'm just as frustrated as everyone else. I see 2 options: Play him, daily in Milwaukee. Or play him daily in Nashville.
I'm not saying I blame Melvin at all, I love the job DM does, but what if we traded Hart then and had Gross/Kapler now plus whatever the Hart trade brought in return...I know, there are tons of what ifs, just sayin
It's not an ability I just said MORE lefties have natural tail. Maybe my perception is skewed from my personal experience because I can't throw a ball straight to save my life and most lefties I know or have played with are the same way. In the baseball circles I've been in this is a common thing so I'm surprised baseball people are disputing it. I'm not saying it's a skill or learned thing, maybe it's as simple as more lefties throw 3/4 and get natural movement that way. I'm not saying righties can't make their ball move or lefties have some skill righties aren't capable of, just from my experiences more lefties have natural tail on their ball.
I think people make too much of simple comments made by the players, you really think they didn't want to win today because Hart isn't savvy in interviews?
Flat out wrong. More lefties have a natural tail to their ball, this includes their change UP. Righties can have good change UPS but not many throw circle change UPS. Most righties, even ones with good change UPS throw more of a straight change that might have some sink but not as much tail and screw ball effect. You can call it a change of pace, many people do, but the pitch is called a chage UP http://www.thecompletepitcher.com/pitching_grips.htm#q4 http://baseball.about.com/od/howtoplay/ss/changeup.htm http://baseballtips.com/pitches.html http://www.philliesdigest.com/?p=915 http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/195902/guide_to_the_different_types_of_pitches.html http://www.thepitchingacademy.net/
