Re: McGwire admits the obvious

It doesn't matter they both cheated... it's true that they both cheated, but it is also true that McGwire has always been a home run king. Sosa appears to have gotten much more additional size and strength from his shots. I don't think it's that cut and dry. Sosa came up as a 19 year old, he was sc...

Well that was a frustrating loss. Too many opportunities to put the game away were missed while USC wasn't clicking on offense. For all the talk about USC's young QB, Pryor still looked like he has a lot of room to grow as a QB. At least it was a good game and wasn't a blowout. Then again, the blowo...

Re: Visual Illusion: the "break" of a curve ball

Wade Boggs had a part in his book about learning pitch recognition. If I remember it correctly, he said that your eyes would kind of bob up when the pitcher would throw a curveball due to its path out of the pitcher's hand. He said that was the first thing you had to train yourself to see was the sl...

If you scroll down a ways to 12/5/07, there is an interesting entry about the curveball Adam Wainwright threw to Carlos Beltran in 2006. Basically, it says that Beltran had no chance because the late, sharp break of Wainwright's curveball was right at the limits of the batter's perception. http://ww...

After looking at Blass's stats on baseball reference, I'm amazed they kept running him out there as bad as he was pitching in 1973. Blass started 18 games that year. Imagine if they keep running W...
