A curveball actually is a bit of an optical illusion |

Hey, it's the offseason now and I'm bored. Yes, a curveball actually does break... but to a hitter it will look like it breaks more than it does. This
link explains why:

Your face is an optical illusion.

is a lot different than following the ball or to know what the score is." - last seen 11/01/07

Arod what the hell is your problem? --- PF I completely understand what you are saying (and the article). It is definitely more of a drop/curve to the batter
than it appears on TV. That is why it is so hard for us to understand why batters can't hit a slider/cutter because it looks like nothing to us viewers
while it fools the batter.
I think hitting a curve ball is a great debate and topic for people who have experienced a good curve ball while they were at the plate. |

Why would we ever PH for Varitek? I mean, what if we PH for him, and it goes to extras, and vic martinez gets eaten by
dinosaurs? We'd have to use the emergency catcher.
