      Why not just buy an all American made car from the 60's/70's, where quality was the selling point, unlike the 80's and 90's? You can buy an okay El Camino for some 4000-10,000 dollars if you're willing to travel in most cities.

    A cricket ball can operate much the same way, except with a few more variables thrown in: The ball being strategically scuffed or shined to create movement through the air, the spinning ball interacting with the playing surface and the single circumference seam.

    People say baseball is easy. It's actually the hardest sport in the world. Just one example of that is a major league fastball gets to the plate in about .395 seconds and you have to read the pitch, load, decide if you are going to swing, and swing in the time less than a blink of an eye

    so many variables with baseball. as a catcher you "frame" the ball. so wherever the ball hits his glove he has to be handy (no pun intended) enough to deceive the human eye of the umpire. upon that, a judgement call is made. umpires are often right but pitchers are often aware of the discretion tendencies of how an umpire will call the ball he throws

    How about looking into how the sibling sport to baseball... cricket.
    Similarly when the bowler (like a pitcher) bowls (throws over arm) fast 80-90 mph the ball can move through the air. We call it "swing". Some bowlers can manipulate the ball to swing left and right. The best bowlers for swing are found in my native England where there's more moisture in the air. But tbh, one one really knows how this works. And bare in mind that the global money in cricket is HUGE. So a lot of scientists have been looking into this phenomenon and so far it's a mystery.
    If you are the sort who laugh off the cricket thing then read on...
    The bowler marks out is run up some 50 feet behind where he'll release. As he runs in he'll spring into his bowling action. The arm with the ball at it's highest will be around 10 feet off the ground. From 22 yards away, he'll release the ball.
    The ball will hit the ground in front of you and bounce and then move or swing to your left or right. It might be only by half an inch or by a foot. Depending on where the ball hits the ground in front of you, near your feet or three - five yards in front will determine whether the ball will hit your foot, ankle etc upto four feet above your head.
    The bounce depends on the speed. If you're facing a Fast bowler, you're talking 90+ mph (after the ball has bounced!). From 22 yards away you'll have all of 0.22 seconds to decide whether to duck under it, or try and play a shot. One wrong move, misjudgment or mistake and you're out or be in need of an x-ray or just stitches. Some of the best batsmen can score hundreds of runs (points) in 40° heat against Fast bowling for hours and hours and even days. You might have heard of a variation of the game called "Test Cricket". It tests folks to breaking point.
    So don't dismiss this sport. Embrace it and look for videos of fast bowlers like Mitchell Johnson, Curtly Ambrose, Bret Lee, Alan Donald or Dale Steyn.

    @ristube3319 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Uhh the reason for removing a ball when it hits the ground because it killed someone.
    I believe it was the Cleveland Indians player by the name of Chapman, at Yankees stadium in 1920. They played with one ball the whole game. By the end of the day the ball was completely dirt colored and misshapen by the amount of contact during the game. At this time there wasn't anything in the way of safety, including "batters' eye" or the solid usually black background to see it clearly or even batting helmets. It happened because it was the end of the game before stadium lights. The sky was in twilight, the shape of the ball at that point was more of an oval which made it travel in air very differently. Between the movement and the color that matched the sky, Chapman didn't see it, didn't react at all. Without a batting helmet the pitch caught him in the forehead, he poured blood at home plate he died shortly after in a NYC hospital. I guess the blessing was that he never saw it coming, never regained consciousness, and passed away doing what he loved without ever suffering.
    We should all be so lucky.

    • @tomservo5347
      @tomservo5347 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I've read pitchers would intentionally rub tobacco juice and dirt over the ball to make it as hard to see as possible. Those early batters were definitely supermen being able to see that in twilight.
