I don't really follow baseball anymore, so can someone tell me
what the haaay-uls gon on here? Are pitchers really doing this? Throwing lobs at batters?
We have quadraplegic, cornhole throwing, car driving, murderers now, so I don't know what to believe.

of a pitch is closer to the plate. Really takes the velocity out of a pitch.

The Braves are beginning the year with four of their five starters on the IL. Ridiculous. Dudes are always hurt these days. If I wanted to watch Triple-A ball, there are ways to do that.

infielder in the game to finish it out. Batting practice pitches look more challenging.

player to go throw some pitches so he doesn't have to use his bullpen.
