So when the catcher sets up outside, isn’t that a clue for the batter where the ball is going?

You're not supposed to look back... from the official unwritten rulebook. In the old days you'd get a pitch in your earhole.

I don't know of any hitters who have time to look back behind them and notice the position of the catcher's glove then focus back on the baseball.

Very pajama-like

With those terrible alt jerseys from the Phillies as well...   we need a whole series with no ridiculous uniforms for our eyes to recover.

I am weird, but that color is kinda growing on me. It has a bizarre depth to it. It’s like something you would use a tiny bit of to make your fake sky pop.

Knuckleball pitchers may throw slowly enough... not that the info would help.

I was gonna say, you don't really have time. And the catcher usually waits till the last second to move the glove.

Nice play Velazquez!

[allquixotic]

Velazquez looked GREAT on that defensive play!

Back to back 6 pitch innings for Cobb.

[scOtt]

6 pitches again! Cobb is rolling early.

Umpires helping Cobb out a bit.

[allquixotic]

Don't blink now, but Cobb looks better after 2 than Scherzer!
