actually a good catcher can buy his pitcher quite a few borderline pitches well said. catchers can be assholes like that, but you love it if it's for your team. See, the thing about the knuckleballer is that he's only as good as his catcher have any of you guys ragging on this quote ever heard of a catcher who handles his pitchers well. with any pitcher, a catcher calls the location and types of pitches all game long. they really are the unsung heroes of the game. if a pitcher pitches an incredible game, no mention goes to the catcher, who probably was the person framing all the called strike threes and dictating how to pitch to every hitter to get them out. on another note, to everyone saying that knuckle balls suck, have you ever tried to hit a good one? it'll fool the shit out of you.

hitting in the clutch is kinda bs. it goes along with a confirmation bias in peoples' heads where a player comes through with a few consecutive clutch hits, then they're the greatest clutch player in the world. now, whenever he does succeed, it's because he's so great and whenever he doesn't it's like "oh well, he'll get it next time". really, it's just that ortiz is a great hitter and just gets a lot of hits. he most likely approaches every at-bat the same way, because that is what good hitters are trained to do. he's just had the right hits at the right times. it also helps that ortiz is a big name player to begin with. he gets lots of "mr. clutch" publicity and someone like marco scutaro, who has one something like seven games for the A's the past two years in the final at-bat, gets none. i also could garauntee you that because scutaro is not an everyday player, ortiz gets a lot more chances to succeed.

i wonder which 3 owners still wanted the dances just a guess, but probably the 3 teams who have the greatest chance of being penalized- Dallas, Carolina, and Cinci

i agree with ninja. he wants 2b for the prestige. he's a shoe-in for the all-star team at 2b andd arguablly the best hitter at his position all-time. he goes to left and he's still a damn good hitter, but not the elite of his position. being the best at your position, no matter what position that is, gets you a hell of a lot more money than being in the top-half of your position.

the cal kids pulling this elaborate prank is the same as dressing up to go to a game, cheering at games, or even clapping. it's all a way to psych out the opponent. the cal kids took their 1600 sat's and 4.million gpa's and figured out a creative way to absolutely demolish this player's confidence. the entirety of the black hole doesn't work that well.
