Throw Ball Down The Middle of the Plate Waist High and........

[Pride85]

I actually researched the posts of this "fan" (easy since the number is so small), but this individual has to be the ringleader for the most NEGA branch of the NegaVols.

you will lose. Want to see a ball sail over the fence? Pitch a fastball belt high or about three inches above it down the middle of the plate . It will work every time unless you can throw 104 mph. You learn at 12 years old to keep the ball low. In high school your pitchers should throw at the knees all day long. Outside corner at the knees. Inside corner at the knees. Do this the whole game and every now and then throw a fastball up ad in on the hands. We saw all game long our pitchers throw down the middle of the plate waist high. Why? That's serving it up for batting practice. Have a fastball hitter come up - throw him nothing but breaking balls and off speed pitches. Let him see a fastball at the knees and three inches outside. I wouldn't let my high school pitchers throw like what we saw today. These college pitchers are old enough to know better but, yet, they served it up, repeatedly. This goes against the fundamentals of baseball. Can't understand it whatsoever.

Hello, Jerry from Bulls Gap.

No, I actually know "Jerry from Bull's Gap". He is a very friendly, knowledgeable, level-headed person that teaches welding at a local community college. Most people would never know it, but tread lightly if he were to ever actually get angry at someone. In his youth, he was top ten in the state of Tennessee as a kick boxer from the Ishinryu dojo locally. He takes pride in his notoriety on the call in show.

Thanks for the insight. "Jerry" is one of my favorite VOls callers (and I don't even tune in to Vol Calls anymore). Let the legend of Jerry of Bull's Gap continue!

I didn't say that. Your take. His post was an attack on our pitchers like they were doing on purpose. Like that was the plan to feed fat fastballs right down the middle of the plate. Ludicrous at best. Went back to see info on poster and saw the 26 messages. Just brought it out. I'll take substance over fluff and lofty numbers any time.

It was fair to look at post count. It provides a sense of scale, especially along with date joined. Sure if 10000 post occur then people will know what kind of poster the person is even if 5000 are crap. You will still have 5000 to figure out the person. It is called a sense of scale. It is called looking at the data and making a judgement.

It helps to know who is who, which when it’s moving at the speed it does over a weekend like the past one, nice feature. A post count in and of itself, doesn’t mean anything.
