"Rising fastball" is a term to describe a certain type of pitch. It is not being taught in physics class, although discussing whether a thrown ball can rise is an interesting topic for a physics class. For a baseball message board, it is nerdier than anything Alex Speier writes or talks about. The "rising fastball" goes over their bats because they expect the ball to be lower when it reaches them. It is a good descriptive term for the game. Argumentative people will argue about all sorts of irrelevancies.

But the cliff? My bad... I meant the uncertainty.

And neither do managers.

The harder a ball is thrown and with more spin the effect of gravity will have less time and effect to make the ball dip. Since the ball is dipping less than the majority of pitches with less velocity or spin, the eye is tricked into thinking the ball is rising. When you are standing at the plate, it sure looks like it is rising, but that would defy physics. But then again, there had been scientific studies that curve balls were an illusion.

What strategy? The strategy isn't to put the batter on base in front of the hitter behind them. The result is just part of the dynamics of the game.

If you don't understand, I am not going to try to convince you.

This statement makes no sense to me.

We had better learn how to beat the Yankees.

And he was lifted for a PH in the 8th inning. But the good news for him was that he did not break his belt.

There is no DH in the NL and the guy can't field his position. His error allowed a run to score.

Panda made an error in his first game with the Giants. He just stinks.

What a dumbass getting picked off first base. Kimbrel is just overpowering. Pomeranz continues to be our second best starting pitcher. Taking care of business against a weak White Sox team.

Offense really was flat against Shields.
-
Two men on and 1 out with a 3 run lead and TOB Farrell brings in Boyer. That is not the direction I would have taken.
-
No but it proves that we are managed by a Johnny Half-head.
-
Shields should be knocked out already.
-
We should light up Shields.

lol!

Thank you Ben. You get a high draft pick for finishing in last place he completely botched the draft pick.
-
That was fast.

yuk!

Why? He gave no effort here.

lol!!!
