Re: World Series Game One Red Sox vs Rockies

Question: Do any of you know the difference between a curve ball and a fast ball? I know it has something to do with the way the fingers are placed on the ball ... or is that a splitter ... or am I confusing this with the COT splitter?

I'm not asking for a detailed explanation, just wondering if all of you know the difference. Can you throw a baseball like the pros?

all pitches have different finger placement ....... the fastball is straight and fast ..... a curveball is a bit slower and dips dramatically downward

i havent really thrown a baseball in over 20 years, so no .... i cant throw like the pros

Yes, but about 15 mph slower...they would knock it over the wall in record time.

Re: World Series Game One Red Sox vs Rockies

these announcers are so stupid

they will do what they did all season against NL teams ..... rotate Ortiz, Youk and Lowell on the bench

Youk plays 3rd when Lowell sits

If the Sox leave the bases loaded again, I'm going to be able to hear my father scream from two towns away!
