At some point, we will figure out that Pettite is going to throw an outside slider with two strikes.

I thought the same thing.

what point?

Players try to throw a 4-seam fastball when throwing to a base. I was making fun of him at 1st, but I guess the average fan doesn't realize that.

What made it a good piece of TV was the shot of Feliz staring at the ball before he threw it to make sure he had a 4 seam grip on it.

Yeah, I agree now thinking about it for a second. My initial reaction was a snarky "Really, I usually throw change-ups to 1st", but they did a really good job of explaining why you want a 4 seam fastball.

Sheesh. If you just saw Pettitte vs. Utley, Howard & Ibanez, you'd swear he was dominating.

Crossing my fingers that one of 3-4 will put a ball in play tonight.

SQUIRE

Definitely seems like the team as a whole is doing that tonight.

The trivia asked who had the best batting average in WS history, minimum 100 ABs. So that pretty much narrows it to a Yankee huh...

Dick Schofield's name wasn't mentioned this much when he was an active player

Pettitte wants the 8-inch outside strike.

by **SK790** » Sat Oct 31, 2009 22:24:11

Too high...

LA just said Fox is adding 1-2 MPH on Pettite's pitches and taking away 2-3 on Hamels from what is shown on the stadium board.

Wertz gets that a lot.

Every announcer says Werth is underrated, or they talk about his long path to stardom, or his family lineage. Nothing else. This is why I love the pothead/hulk fist meme here.

hey- a lefty hit the ball!

Weird that they'd take away 2-3 MPH on Hamels'
