SUBWAY SERIES?!

I'm trying to understand pitch types better, as the commentators use the terms so flippantly. It's not easy though.

When you read some of the definitions of them some of the differences seem so subtle. I'm sure I saw a video once where even the commentators were disagreeing on whether a particular pitch was this or that.

This is useful though as it has batter's view diagrams:

That must be pretty old, as it mentions Pedro Martinez in the present tense, and I remember him pitching for the Red Sox twenty years ago.

Still all valid, I'm sure, though.

I'm just starting out on the 6 hour session, starting with Tigers-Guardians, followed by another game I haven't got to yet.

That's my weekend sorted.

who?

who?

Detroit - Cleveland.

I've also finally worked out that a foul isn't a strike if the hitter already has two strikes, but is if he hasn't yet.

Detroit - Cleveland.

I doubt it - I'm catching up on the very long double-header of Tigers-Guardians and Mets-Phillies on the iplayer (I don't know the results yet).

Pretty insane attempt to rob Dodgers outfielder of ball by Yankees fans in World Series game 4.

Didn't end well for them. Probably a lot of ticket money down the drain.
