It's a dome or has a roof, right?

I'm no physicist but if the roof is closed, I believe the knuckler won't move as much as if open to the elements. Anyone got Bill Nye's number?

The Metrodome and Wakefield disagree with you.

Sox win this one. My son wanted the bloody sock story for bed tonight.

Wind makes the knuckler harder to control for the pitcher. Wind that would affect a regular fastball by pushing it slightly off-course would affect a knuckleball far more profoundly. The point of the knuckleball is that it has very little spin of it's own compared to other pitches, and it is far slower. It makes it more vulnerable to wind and humidity than a ball traveling 20mph faster. Domes negate that vulnerability to an extent, giving the knuckleball pitcher more control over the flight of the ball. The movement that a knuckler makes depends more on the pitcher than the elements, so it is not affected by a dome.

Oh I am sure that we have at least one bright guy on here that would just love to tell us.

Youk will have to do instead.

[Northern Star]

Good time for a Holt 3 run bomb.

What is wrong with the Astros' attendance? The team was supposed to be great this year, and they are far from out of it.

 

Normally scoring 2 runs in the first inning would have every Red Sox fan on their feet, but after last game, every fan now has their arms crossed with squinted eyes.

[mvp 78]

Houston isn't a baseball town. One good year doesn't fix that.

WEEI's website had the Sox lineup.

[mvp 78]

Nice baserunning by Hanley.

[Northern Star]

[NativeBostonian]

I don't understand why Hanigan is on this team. He need to go so Blake Swihart can play.

Swihart is not good at the position.

[a700hitter]

When a knuckleball pitcher is on a good run, they make it look so easy.

Swihart is playing a lot... in Pawtucket.

[mvp 78]

Shut up Psycho... The worst.
