[ QUOTE ] Why does a sinker straighten out when thrown inside to a lefty? McCarver, you are amazing. [/ QUOTE ] Think about how a bat comes through the zone, moron. A sinker/splitter/2-seamer runs down/in on a righty. If a righty swings at it like a fastball, and it bites down and in, he can't get the bat in quick enough to make contact. Now picture the lefty's bat coming through the zone. Freeze the bat in the zone and the line of the bat takes on the similar line of a splitter/sinker/2-seamer. So the ball literally moves towards the bat against a lefty. You basically need to throw this pitch inside, a few inches off the plate so that it bites over the corner and the hitter sees it the whole way as an inside fastball (think Greg Maddux's whole career) but it's a called strike. If you start the pitch against a lefty over the inner part of the plate, it will tail over the middle of the plate. And because it starts out over the inner half, the hitter will swing at it, and even though he may not get his bat "in" enough, the ball tailing back over the plate will "meet him half way" and he may crush it. Hope this helps. Please remember, that although McCarver is a moron, he was also a professional catcher so he MIGHT know 1 or 2 things about pitch movement and how it affects righties vs. lefties. [/ QUOTE ] This is a seriously good post. What's it doing in this thread? |

Re: ALCS - Indians vs Red Sox
Truth,
No, pretty sure Carew retired the very season before that one. Boggs, yeah, nice. Grinding on the third answer, I'm sure someone will come along and post it in non-spoiler tags before I figure it out though. |
