How to use pitcher in a sentence?
The guys have been grinding, and they’ve taken some heat in the last weeks, and I thought today was awesome. There was a lot of quality at-bats. They stayed on ’em, with their foot on their necks, as a starting pitcher, there’s just nothing better, right?
I'm not normally a ground ball pitcher, but it definitely helped out today, being able to get the big double plays in the key situations, it definitely kept them from rallying.
So, when someone comes in like that, we have help them, to protect them. So we ended up intubating him and putting him on a ventilator. Four days later, Hartzfeld, then 17, woke up in the ICU and later underwent a 11-hour surgery to repair his facial bones with titanium plates. Hartzfeld walked out of the hospital 19 days later wearing his team’s baseball cap, and determined to go back to school and his sport. He was back in class less than a month after the accident, with his jaw wired shut, wearing a tracheotomy tube and a gastrostomy tube. Originally, they said I would probably never play baseball again, but I decided that was wrong. I wanted to play. Hartzfeld, a shortstop and pitcher, is now playing summer baseball, and the college scouts have started coming around again. This chapter of my life is now over, and I can only look ahead.
We’re talking about but we have n’t made a firm decision yet of whether to modify the geometry of the Atlantic League strike zone a little bit, the zone that’s actually called by major league umpires is kind of like an oval. And going to a two-dimensional zone that has corners in it is going to be pitcher friendly because you’re adding space to the strike zone.
It's funny 'cause when you see a guy like Rich Hill, it looks like you should be able to hit him. But that's what he does, he's a good pitcher and he keeps guys off balance and he makes big pitches when he has to.
