can someone who has a more experience than high school baseball explain, realistically, how a hitter is supposed to adjust when seeing a 90 MPH fastball followed up by a 97 MPH fastball? that just seems like a tall order. especially if the pitch looks exactly the same leaving his hand.

 

Its not really fair. I face a kid who pitched for the U of I and he was a lefty throwing anywhere from 82 to 85 but he had probably the best changeup I had ever seen. Same exact motion, same arm angle. He would add and subtract velocity and just ate our lineup up. I can't imagine something doing the same thing with 90 to 98. He is all arms and legs. He can't be a very comfortable AB.

way to go Micah! ran through the entire hit and ended up on third! thats what i like to see

It's nice to see the other team do that for a change.

Maurer's hit... was it lucky?

No, solid single up the middle, Mauer earned it.

Awesome hustle by Johnson there.

Take note from the rookie, that's how you hustle

Eaton needs to get out of this slump

Eaton having a miserable start to the season.

welp. rookies gonna rookie.

Mother ffuu......

 

The contact play is DUMB. There, I said it. Don't care if everybody does it. It's ridiculous.

That has to be the contact play for him to go home. If he went on his own then terrible.

Mother ffuu......

 

Worth it for that gif.

hjahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Again?

welp. rookies gonna rookie.

How is that Micah's fault? The contact play was clearly on.

Wow never seen that before. Make them pay Jose!

We are not witnessing high level baseball

This is ****ing ridiculous.

Time to take advantage of the pop ups being dropped. Funny stuff.

welp. rookies gonna rookie.

 

He was told to go on contact. Oh well.

 

Lol Twins

Got to take advantage of these mistakes.

Contact play with Micah makes total sense.

How is that Micah's fault? The contact play was clearly on.

 

i dunno. you know more than me.

i can not believe they dropped two balls in one inning. that is just so comical.
