Some velocity wouldn’t hurt either.  

Yeah, he’s no Tommy Milone.

3-1, 2-0, 2-0 counts and 3 weak swings ... and there's the inning.

You're very angry tonight. Is this because there aren't any chicks in the stands to scope out?

I can see Mike, sitting in his lab, watching the losses pile up, rubbing his hands together and cackling,” my plan is weeerkinggg”

That sweet sweet number one is close...so close...

We haven’t squared up much tonight.

So a manager doesn’t ask for a review?

"Will you please review this?”

"Do you want to challenge?” 

“Oh, no, I just want you to review it.”

"Why sure, anything to help out.”

Instead, the crew chief says to himself, "Hmmm, I’m going to review this because I’m not sure my guy got the call right.”

 

Sure seems like a fine line between the two.

Correct.

Technically, the two are different.

Essentially, they aren't ........ for all intents and purposes, teams have unlimited challenges via the "review" process.

How could I forget Johnson! I actually like that one! Shows the odd slinging action of his arm.

 

I remember back in the mid 70's, our little league and pony and colt league teams would go down to Memorial every year for a game. One of my strongest memories of that was Cal Sr. throwing BP. He had that same sidearm slinging action. Start his hand up behind his head and then sling it in.

Looks like someone took a butane torch to my old lead figurines.

That too... I just really don't like anything about the Gnats. Everything about them pisses me off.

I'm in Brewster NY, and I can hear the stadium announcer from here.

You are cheating and using electronic transmission.  I am hearing actual sound waves.

It is odd looking but it shows WJ's arm action very well.

BAD ASS mo-fo!

Hard to say how hard Walter Johnson threw, and compared to flame throwers today. The fact is in his time he threw significantly harder than everyone else. Even if it was only 92-93, everyone else was hitting 82-83.
